Abstract
Techniques for optimizing retrieval of operational parameters for a plurality of asset sets within a facility are described. In an example, a data retrieval request for retrieving operational parameters for a first asset set and a second asset set within a facility is received. A first server and a second server configured to respectively monitor and control operations of the first asset set and the second asset set are then identified. A first data retrieval request and a second data retrieval request are then generated for retrieving the operational parameters for the first asset set and the second asset set. The first data retrieval request and the second data retrieval request are then transmitted to the first server and the second server, respectively. The operational parameters for the first asset set and the second asset set are then received.
Core Innovation
An Asset Data Provisioning System (ADPS) receives a data retrieval request for retrieving operational parameters for a first asset set and a second asset set present within a facility, wherein the data retrieval request comprises a first asset set identifier and a second asset set identifier. The ADPS identifies a first server configured to monitor and control operations of the first asset set using the first asset set identifier, and identifies a second server configured to monitor and control operations of the second asset set using the second asset set identifier. The first server and the second server are identified from a plurality of servers configured to monitor and control a plurality of asset sets within the facility.
The ADPS generates a first data retrieval request for retrieving the operational parameters for the first asset set from the first server, wherein the first data retrieval request is generated in a first format compliant with the first server. The ADPS generates a second data retrieval request for retrieving the operational parameters for the second asset set from the second server, wherein the second data retrieval request is generated in a second format compliant with the second server. The ADPS transmits the first data retrieval request and the second data retrieval request to the first server and the second server.
The ADPS receives the operational parameters for the first asset set and the second asset set and returns the operational parameters for the first asset set and the second asset set. The ADPS also uses user credentials of a first user set and user credentials of a second user set that are authorized to access the operational parameters of the first asset set and the second asset set, respectively, and generates the first and second data retrieval requests using those user credentials. Server mapping is supported by a server database that maps asset set identifiers to the appropriate monitoring/control servers and supports selecting compliant request mechanisms including API mashups or per-server APIs.
Claims Coverage
The independent claims include a method for server-compliant retrieval of operational parameters for a first and second asset set, an Asset Data Provisioning System (ADPS) implementing that method, and a non-transitory computer readable medium encoding the same logic. Across the independent claims, there are four main inventive features: identifying monitoring/control servers for asset sets, generating server-compliant retrieval requests in respective formats, using credentialed and authorized user credentials when generating requests, and transmitting and returning operational parameters for multiple asset sets.
Asset-set identifier-driven multi-server selection and compliant request generation
Receiving a data retrieval request comprising a first asset set identifier and a second asset set identifier; identifying a first server and a second server from a plurality of servers using the asset set identifiers; generating a first data retrieval request in a first format compliant with the first server and a second data retrieval request in a second format compliant with the second server; transmitting the first and second data retrieval requests to the first and second servers; and receiving operational parameters for the first and second asset sets and returning the operational parameters.
Asset Data Provisioning System with interaction and provisioning engines
An Asset Data Provisioning System (ADPS) having an interaction engine to receive a data retrieval request with first and second asset set identifiers; a data retrieving engine to identify first and second servers from a plurality of servers, identify user credentials of a first user set and a second user set authorized for respective asset sets, and generate first and second data retrieval requests using the user credentials and in formats compliant with the respective servers; transmit the first and second data retrieval requests to the first and second servers; receive the operational parameters for the first and second asset sets; and a data provisioning engine to return the operational parameters.
Non-transitory medium encoding server-compliant multi-asset-set retrieval
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer-readable instructions that cause a processing resource to identify a first server and a second server from a plurality of servers using first and second asset set identifiers; generate a first data retrieval request in a first format compliant with the first server and a second data retrieval request in a second format compliant with the second server; transmit the first and second data retrieval requests to the first and second servers; and receive the operational parameters for the first and second asset sets.
The independent claims cover an ADPS that selects monitoring/control servers based on asset set identifiers, generates retrieval requests in server-compliant formats (using authorized user credentials in the system claim), transmits separate requests to the respective servers, and returns operational parameters for multiple asset sets.
