Abstract:
1. A sensor information management system connected to a network including a plurality of sensors and a computer that provides services using data presented by at least one of the plurality of sensors, comprising: first memory configured to store sensor profile information representing for each of items the information about each of the plurality of sensors; second memory configured to store sensor request information representing for each of the items, the sensor request information including data requested from the computer to a sensor to offer the service; a third memory configured to store scenario data representing the operation of at least a part of the plurality of sensors; and a processor configured to execute a process including: extracting data representing a set of a service and a sensor for presenting the data requested to offer the service by comparing at least a part of the items of the sensor profile information with a corresponding item of the sensor request information; determining an operation for allowing the sensor to present the data requested to offer the service with respect to the set of the service and the sensor represented by the data extracted by the extracting based on the sensor profile information and the sensor request information, and recording the scenario data including the operation for representing the operation of the sensor in the third memory; generating a control signal for allowing each sensor to perform the operation of each sensor represented by the scenario data recorded in the third memory, and transmitting the generated signal to the each sensor; and converting data provided by the sensor into data requested by the service with respect to the set of the service and the sensor extracted by the extracting.
