Administering Devices With Domain State Objects

Abstract

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention include a method for administering devices. Such exemplary embodiments include receiving a domain state object, identifying an action in dependence upon the domain state object, and executing the action. In many exemplary embodiments, receiving a domain state object includes receiving a signal to download the domain state object from a mobile sensor, and downloading the domain state object from the mobile sensor.

1 . A method for administering devices, the method comprising: 
 receiving a domain state object;    identifying an action in dependence upon the domain state object; and    executing the action.    
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein receiving a domain state object comprises: 
 receiving a signal to download the domain state object from a mobile sensor; and    downloading the domain state object from the mobile sensor.    
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein receiving the domain state object comprises: 
 receiving an address of the domain state object from a mobile sensor; and    downloading the domain state object from the address.    
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 1  wherein identifying an action in dependence upon the domain state object comprises: 
 retrieving a current device state object from the domain state object;    selecting an action ID in dependence upon the current device state object.    
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising creating a second domain metric vector for the second domain in dependence upon the domain state object.  
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising creating a second domain metric action list in dependence upon the domain state object.  
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising selecting a second domain user metric space in dependence upon the domain state object.  
   
   
       8 . A system for administering devices, the system comprising: 
 means for receiving a domain state object;    means for identifying an action in dependence upon the domain state object; and    means for executing the action.    
   
   
       9 . The system of  claim 8  wherein means for receiving a domain state object comprises: 
 means for receiving a signal to download the domain state object from a mobile sensor; and    means for downloading the domain state object from the mobile sensor.    
   
   
       10 . The system of  claim 8  wherein means for receiving the domain state object comprises: 
 means for receiving an address of the domain state object from a mobile sensor; and    means for downloading the domain state object from the address.    
   
   
       11 . The system of  claim 8  wherein means for identifying an action in dependence upon the domain state object comprises: 
 means for retrieving a current device state object from the domain state object;    means for selecting an action ID in dependence upon the current device state object.    
   
   
       12 . The system of  claim 8  further comprising means for creating a second domain metric vector for the second domain in dependence upon the domain state object.  
   
   
       13 . The system of  claim 8  further comprising means for creating a second domain metric action list in dependence upon the domain state object.  
   
   
       14 . The system of  claim 8  further comprising means for selecting a second domain user metric space in dependence upon the domain state object.  
   
   
       15 . A computer program product for administering devices, the computer program product comprising: 
 a recording medium    means, recorded on the recording medium, for receiving a domain state object;    means, recorded on the recording medium, for identifying an action in dependence upon the domain state object; and    means, recorded on the recording medium, for executing the action.    
   
   
       16 . The computer program product of  claim 15  wherein means, recorded on the recording medium, for receiving a domain state object comprises: 
 means, recorded on the recording medium, for receiving a signal to download the domain state object from a mobile sensor; and    means, recorded on the recording medium, for downloading the domain state object from the mobile sensor.    
   
   
       17 . The computer program product of  claim 15  wherein means, recorded on the recording medium, for receiving the domain state object comprises: 
 means, recorded on the recording medium, for receiving an address of the domain state object from a mobile sensor; and    means, recorded on the recording medium, for downloading the domain state object from the address.    
   
   
       18 . The computer program product of  claim 15  wherein means, recorded on the recording medium, for identifying an action in dependence upon the domain state object comprises: 
 means, recorded on the recording medium, for retrieving a current device state object from the domain state object;    means, recorded on the recording medium, for selecting an action ID in dependence upon the current device state object.    
   
   
       19 . The computer program product of  claim 15  further comprising means, recorded on the recording medium, for creating a second domain metric vector for the second domain in dependence upon the domain state object.  
   
   
       20 . The computer program product of  claim 15  further comprising means, recorded on the recording medium, for creating a second domain metric action list in dependence upon the domain state object.  
   
   
       21 . The computer program product of  claim 15  further comprising means, recorded on the recording medium, for selecting a second domain user metric space in dependence upon the domain state object.
