Abstract

See full text

A common infrastructure collects data from a plurality of mobile devices and traditional sensors at Internet scale to respond to natural language queries received at different applications. The infrastructure includes a semantic interpreter to translate the natural language query to a data request specification that is processed by the data collection system. The data collection system includes a phenomenon layer that expresses data and information needs in a declarative fashion and coordinates data collection and processing for queries. An edge layer manages devices, receives collection requirements from the backend layer, configures and instructs devices for data collection, and conducts aggregation and primitive processing of data. This layer contains network edge nodes, such as base stations in a cellular network. Each node manages a set of local data generating networked devices. The device agent data layer using common agents on the networked devices receives data collection instructions and performs data collection.
