Sensory data capture and processing for the internet of things

Abstract

The disclosed systems and methods include configuring a model to process incoming sensor data from a multitude of sensors in a custom sensor network—accessing domain-specific, vendor-specific, and technology-specific sub-models and selecting and combining features of the sub-models in an object that accepts incoming data from the sensors. Also included are classifying and selecting a domain-specific sub-model based on the classification; determining a vendor and selecting a vendor-specific sub-model for the sensors; classifying a sensor technology and selecting a technology-specific sub-model based on the classification of the sensor; automatically configuring alerts and basic data handling by a sensor controller; automatically configuring storage objects used by the sensor controller to persist the data from the sensors as it is received and parsed; and testing the alerts, basic data handling and storage object persistence with the sensors or simulated sensors to confirm operable configuration of the sensor controller.
