Ubiquitous gateway and/or global query manager for querying an object in a mobile communication network

摘要

A Ubiquitous Gateway 100 for communicating in a mobile communication network, the mobile communication network comprising a plurality of Ubiquitous Gateways. The Ubiquitous Gateway comprises a first means 110 for communicating with the mobile communication network and a second means 120 for communicating with other Ubiquitous Gateways and for communicating with an object, an object having an object identification, wherein the second means (120) for communicating is adapted for detecting an object record received from a Ubiquitous Gateway or an object. The Ubiquitous Gateway 100 comprises an object cache 130 for temporarily storing an object record comprising an object record identification, an object identification and an object location. Furthermore, the Ubiquitous Gateway 100 comprises a controller 140 being adapted for repetitively monitoring objects through the second means 120 for communicating, for storing object records of monitored objects in the object cache 130 and adapted for repetitively exchanging an object record from the object cache 130 with other Ubiquitous Gateways. Moreover, the controller 140 is adapted for receiving an object query on a query object from a query origin and for reporting an object record on the query object from the object cache 130 to the query origin if available.
