Abstract

A flux system includes a memory and a processor in communication with the memory and a sensing device, the memory storing a plurality of capabilities and a plurality of semantic fluxes associated with the plurality of capabilities. The computing system is configured to infer a semantic based on received inputs and to infer an activity interest semantic based on an input, and to assign a servicing agent to service an activity interest based on semantic matching.

First claim

I claim:

1. A flux system, comprising:
a processor;
a first sensor;
a memory coupled with the processor, the memory storing a plurality of endpoints mapped to physical locations;
the memory storing a plurality of semantics;
the memory further storing at least two semantic fluxes, the at least two semantic fluxes each being associated with a plurality of capabilities;
wherein a first capability from among the plurality of capabilities is associated with a first servicing agent, the first capability comprising an inferred first activity semantic from among the plurality of semantics, the first activity semantic being inferred by the processor based on an input from a second sensor;
wherein the first capability is a published capability, having been published by an operator of at least one semantic flux from among the at least two semantic fluxes;
the memory further containing programming instructions operable by the processor to cause the processor to infer an activity interest semantic from among the plurality of semantics, the inferred activity interest semantic being associated with an item at a first endpoint from among the plurality of endpoints, and further being inferred based on an input from the first sensor; and
wherein the system assigns the first servicing agent to service an activity interest indicated by the activity interest semantic based on semantic matching between the inferred first activity semantic with the activity interest semantic.

2. The flux system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to receive from the operator a request to publish the first capability at a first time and further configured to receive from the first servicing agent a rejection to publish the first capability at a second time.

3. The flux system of claim 1 , wherein the first servicing agent is a flow agent configured to service a published interest associated with a first endpoint among the plurality of endpoints.

4. The flux system of claim 3 , wherein the flow agent comprises an asset.

5. The flux system of claim 3 , wherein the flow agent supervises an asset.

6. The flux system of claim 3 , wherein the flow agent owns an asset.

7. The flux sensing system of claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to form a composite flow agent by bonding the item to the flow agent.

8. The flux system of claim 7 , wherein the composite flow agent is routed to a second servicing agent associated with the at least two semantic fluxes.

9. The flux system of claim 7 , wherein the composite flow agent is diffused to a second servicing agent associated with the at least two semantic fluxes.

10. The flux system of claim 7 , wherein the item is identified as being at least one of disposable and recyclable.

11. The flux system of claim 1 , wherein the item is identified as at least one of a debris and a by-product of an interest article.

12. The flux system of claim 1 , wherein the item is a vehicle.

13. The flux system of claim 1 , wherein the item is identified as being part of a bill of materials, wherein the bill of materials is associated with a second endpoint comprised within the first endpoint.

14. The flux system of claim 1 , further comprising an access control input in communication with the processor, and wherein an availability for matching between the activity interest semantic and the item is access controlled by receiving the access control input associated with the first endpoint and determining, by the processor based on the access control input, whether to accept or reject the inferred activity interest semantic at the first endpoint.

15. The flux system of claim 1 , further comprising an access control input in communication with the processor, and wherein an availability for matching between the activity interest and the item is access controlled by receiving the access control input associated with the first endpoint and determining, by the processor based on the access control input, whether to accept or reject the inferred activity interest semantic at the first endpoint.

16. A flux system, comprising:
a processor;
a first sensor;
a memory coupled with the processor, the memory storing a plurality of endpoints mapped to physical locations;
the memory storing a plurality of semantics;
the memory further storing at least two semantic fluxes, the at least two semantic fluxes each being associated with a plurality of capabilities associated with at least one servicing agent;
wherein a first capability associated with a first servicing agent comprises an inferred first activity semantic from among the plurality of semantics, the first activity semantic being inferred by the processor based on inputs from a second sensor;
wherein the first capability is a published capability, having been published by the first servicing agent;
the memory further containing programming instructions operable by the processor to cause the processor to infer an activity interest associated with an item at a first endpoint from among the plurality of endpoints, the activity interest further associated with an activity interest semantic from among the plurality of semantics, the inferred activity interest being based on an input from the first sensor; and
wherein the system assigns the first servicing agent to service the activity interest based on semantic matching between the inferred first activity semantic with the activity interest semantic.

17. The flux system of claim 16 , wherein the processor is configured to receive from the first servicing agent a request to publish the first capability at a first time and further configured to receive, from an operator of the at least two semantic fluxes, a rejection to publish the first capability at a second time based on the requested publishing by the first servicing agent.

18. The flux system of claim 16 , wherein the first servicing agent is a flow agent configured to service a published interest associated with a first endpoint among the plurality of endpoints.

19. The flux system of claim 18 , wherein the flow agent comprises an asset.

20. The flux system of claim 18 , wherein the flow agent supervises an asset.

21. The flux system of claim 18 , wherein the flow agent owns an asset.

22. The flux sensing system of claim 18 , wherein the processor is configured to form a composite flow agent by bonding the item to the flow agent.

23. The flux system of claim 22 , wherein the composite flow agent is routed to a second servicing agent associated with the at least two semantic fluxes.

24. The flux system of claim 22 , wherein the composite flow agent is diffused to a second servicing agent associated with the at least two semantic fluxes.

25. The flux system of claim 22 , wherein the item is identified as being disposable.

26. The flux system of claim 22 , wherein the item is recyclable.

27. The flux system of claim 16 , wherein the item is a vehicle.

28. The flux system of claim 16 , wherein the item is identified as being part of a bill of materials, wherein the bill of materials is associated with the first endpoint.

29. The flux system of claim 16 , further comprising an access control input in communication with the processor, and wherein an availability for matching between the activity interest semantic and the item is access controlled by receiving the access control input associated
