Abstract:
1. Method for the context-driven integration of network-capable, digital context-variable systems (CVSs) the behaviors of which are influenced to a particular degree by a varying environment into digital processes, with a context-variable system (CVS) and an infrastructure system, wherein the infrastructure system comprises a central enrichment service (CES) and a process retrieval service (PRS), there also being provided a central process engine (CPE) on which the sequence of the processes is controlled, the method including the steps: a) transmitting of context information to the infrastructure system over the network, wherein types of context information are defined within an ontology, and a context being modeled as a graph of context items, elements of which are tagged by the ontology; b) enriching the context information in the CES; c) selecting the appropriate process for the CVS based on the context information with the aid of the PRS, and filing the process information in the context and entering appropriate process context indications for information of further sensor modules; d) transferring the context information to the CVS over the network, so that the CVS can identify the process; e) if the context indications of step c) request sensor information, then the sensor modules are downloaded or installed on the CVS; f) carrying-out of the process by the CPE which sends queries to the CVS, wherein the queries do not have to contain any context information; and g) returning the responses from the CVS to the processes on the CPE over the network.
