Methods and apparatus for dynamically selecting an instruction set

Abstract

Methods and apparatus for dynamic instruction set selection for producing an output parameter based on one or more available input parameters are presented. In an example method, a device selects, from different candidate instruction sets that are each configured to produce a same output parameter, an instruction set that requires one or more input parameters that are each available at the device.In addition, in the example method, the device obtains the output parameter by executing the selected instruction set using the input parameters required by that instruction set. In some examples where more than one candidate instruction sets could be selected based on the available input parameters, the device may select the highest-ranking instruction set for execution.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to methods and apparatus for dynamically selecting a set of instructions for generating output parameters based on one or more available input parameters. Background technique [0002] As the deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) devices increases, location-specific and object-specific information becomes more readily available. However, existing devices that utilize this information to produce output are often hard-coded, thereby requiring a specific set of unchangeable input parameters from an equally limited set of specific input parameter sources. Therefore, when these devices cannot receive the required input parameters from appropriate sources, they cannot produce their required output. [0003] Consequently, many existing devices remain inflexible in terms of potential input source devices and / or parameters, thereby reducing their potential implementation scenarios to a limited set of static environments where a...

However, existing devices that utilize this information to produce output are often hard-coded, thereby requiring a specific set of unchangeable input parameters from an equally limited set of specific input parameter sources

Therefore, when these devices cannot receive the required input parameters from the appropriate sources, they cannot produce their desired output

[0003] Consequently, many existing devices remain inflexible in terms of potential input source devices and / or parameters, thereby reducing their potential implementation scenarios to a limited set of static environments where all required inputs are generated by the corresponding device obtained from a well-defined set of input sources
