Method and apparatus to support M2M content and context based services
Abstract
Devices, computer readable media, and methods for supporting services at an application service layer (ASL) are disclosed. The ASL may be a machine-to-machine (M2M) services capability layer (SCL). Content functions may interpret the data to generate a semantic description of the data. Semantic information associated with data may be stored. Context aware functions may process the semantic description of the data to generate lower level contextual cues. Context aware reasoning functions may process the lower level contextual cues to deduce higher level context. An application or a second ASL may use the contextual cues and the situational context to trigger an action. The ASL may create a trigger condition based on a received message. The ASL may invoke a function based on detecting a trigger condition. The ASL may perform a command based on a received command. The ASL may use a objective function and feedback to control a device.
