Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a method for administering devices by receiving a domain state object, identifying an action in dependence upon the domain state object, and executing the action. The method can also include creating a second domain metric vector and a second domain metric action list based on the domain state object. The technical effects of the invention include improved efficiency in administering devices and improved user experience.

Problems solved by technology

For example, a user with a headache may be disturbed by a powerful light.
Conventional networked devices, however, require user intervention to individually administer the specific device in response to user condition.

Introduction

[0030] The present invention is described to a large extent in this specification in terms of methods for administering devices. Persons skilled in the art, however, will recognize that any computer system that includes suitable programming means for operating in accordance with the disclosed methods also falls well within the scope of the present invention.

[0031] Suitable programming means include any means for directing a computer system to execute the steps of the method of the invention, including for example, systems comprised of processing units and arithmetic-logic circuits coupled to computer memory, which systems have the capability of storing in computer memory, which computer memory includes electronic circuits configured to store data and program instructions, programmed steps of the method of the invention for execution by a processing unit. The invention also may be embodied in a computer program product, such as a diskette or other recording medium, for ...

Abstract

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention include a method for administering devices. Such exemplary embodiments include receiving a domain state object, identifying an action in dependence upon the domain state object, and executing the action. In many exemplary embodiments, receiving a domain state object includes receiving a signal to download the domain state object from a mobile sensor, and downloading the domain state object from the mobile sensor.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application is a continuation application of and claims priority from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 612,702, filed on Jul. 2, 2003.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The field of the invention is data processing, or, more specifically, methods, systems, and products for administering devices. [0004] 2. Description of Related Art [0005] Conventional networks contain various devices. A user often uses the various devices, or adjusts the particular settings of the devices in dependence upon the user's current condition. That is, a user's current condition often motivates the user to change the settings of devices so that the devices operate in a manner that more positively benefits the user's current condition. For example, a user with a headache may be disturbed by a powerful light. The user may dim the light, or turn the light off, so that the light no longer disturbs the user. Conventional netw...
