Modular monitor service for smart item monitoring

This invention describes a software system for monitoring smart devices, such as those in an Internet of Things (IoT) network. It uses a central "core" monitoring program for basic tasks, augmented by specialized "modules" or "plug-ins" that add specific features. These modules can be deployed to particular devices or network tiers based on device capabilities or service requirements, creating a flexible and efficient monitoring setup that can quickly adapt to devices joining or leaving the network.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of IoT and edge computing, this modular monitoring system is now highly relevant. The explosion of diverse smart devices and distributed networks has created a critical need for scalable, adaptable monitoring solutions that can intelligently deploy services across hierarchical device architectures, which this invention addresses.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedDistributed software system, complex deployment logic.
