Method and apparatus for quantifying the holistic value of an existing network of devices by measuring the complexity of the generated grammar

摘要

A method and apparatus for configuring a grammar to describe interactions between multiple devices in a network is disclosed. In one aspect, the device interface of each of the plurality of devices is received by the network interface of the device, and the reduced device list generator of the device generates a reduced device list that represents a grouping of the plurality of devices based on the device function. Model one or more sequences of interactions between multiple devices using a reduced device list, with a device interaction sequence modeler, and one or more of the modeled interactions with a device grammar configuration module A grammar is constructed based on the sequence, and the grammar is stored in the memory of the device.
