Abstract
A server apparatus allows for enhanced management of a wireless node network having a ID nodes and a master node in communication with the ID nodes. The server includes a processing unit, memory storage, and a network interface. The memory storage maintains event candidate analytics engine code for execution by the server, node management information (e.g., context data describing a contextual environment of the ID nodes and rule data used for node control operations) used to control ID nodes and the master node as part of managing the wireless node network. When executing the event candidate analytics engine code and having access to the node management information, the server becomes unconventionally operative to receive from the master node an event candidate identified as representing an updated status related to an ID node; generate a confidence rating for the event candidate based upon an evaluation of the event candidate against at least a portion of the context data, where the confidence rating indicates a degree to which the event candidate represents a node relevant activity; update the node management information stored on the memory storage based upon a type of the event candidate and the confidence rating for the event candidate; and transmit to the master node a management message providing at least a portion of the updated node management information to the master node as instructional input to be used by the master node.
