Abstract

A data and context based role management system comprising: a community, the community including at least one data source having plural roles stored therein, the plural roles including an identity including at least one of a credential, a function, a capability, and a historic response data; a discovery module configured to identify an alert associated with an event requiring a response, the discovery module being further configured to search the community for a responder based on the event, wherein the discovery module is configured to compare a criteria based on the event to the identity associated with each of the plural roles to identify the responder; and when the responder is identified, the community promotes the responder to transform at least one device of the responder to provide at least access to data associated with the event.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A device comprising:
 a processor; and   a memory coupled with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
 defining a community within a network, the community comprising at least one data source having plural roles stored therein, wherein the plural roles comprise an identity including at least one of: a credential data or a historic response data; and 
 when an alert indicating an event requiring a response is detected by a discovery module:
 searching the community to identify a responder from the plural roles; 
 sending an opt-in signal to a device associated with the responder; 
 receiving a confirmation from the responder confirming an ability to respond to the event; and 
 dispatching the responder to the event in response to receiving the confirmation from the responder. 
 
   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , the operations further comprising promoting the responder to provide access to cloud data, wherein the promoting comprises providing a priority data service to the responder. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein promoting the responder further comprises providing access to at least one of: a virtual network function, an internet of things device, a data source, or a location data. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the searching the community to identify the responder from the plural roles comprises identifying the responder based on a criteria including at least one of a credential, a proximity to the event, or an experience with similar events. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein each role of the plural roles within the community includes a blockchain ledger. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the event is a medical emergency, and wherein the community is a first responder community. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the event requires a technician. 
     
     
         8 . A data and context-based role management system comprising:
 one or more processors; and   a memory coupled with the one or more processors, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
 defining a community within a network, the community comprising at least one data source having plural roles stored therein, wherein the plural roles comprise an identity including at least one of: a credential data or a historic response data; and 
 when an alert indicating an event requiring a response is detected by a discovery module:
 searching the community to identify a responder from the plural roles; 
 sending an opt-in signal to a device associated with the responder; 
 receiving a confirmation from the responder confirming an ability to respond to the event; and 
 dispatching the responder to the event in response to receiving the confirmation from the responder. 
 
   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the data associated with the event comprises at least one data source from a respondee device associated with the event. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the community is configured to de-promote the responder after receiving a relief signal. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the community de-promotes the responder after a selected time period following receipt of the relief signal. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the community is configured to prompt the responder for a report of the event during the selected time period. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 8 , the operations further comprising promoting the responder to provide access to cloud data, wherein the community logs the promotion of the responder in a blockchain ledger. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 8 , the operations further comprising promoting the responder to provide access to cloud data, wherein the community updates the identity of the responder in a blockchain ledger after promotion. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 8 , the operations further comprising promoting the responder to provide access to cloud data, wherein the community provides device priority to the responder with the promotion. 
     
     
         16 . A method comprising:
 defining a community within a network, the community comprising at least one data source having plural roles stored therein, wherein the plural roles comprise an identity including at least one of: a credential data or a historic response data; and   when an alert indicating an event requiring a response is detected by a discovery module:
 searching the community to identify a responder from the plural roles; 
 sending an opt-in signal to a device associated with the responder; 
 receiving a confirmation from the responder confirming an ability to respond to the event; and 
 dispatching the responder to the event in response to receiving the confirmation from the responder. 
   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16  further comprising promoting the responder to provide access to cloud data, wherein the promoting comprises providing a priority data service to the responder. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein promoting the responder further comprises providing access to at least one of: a virtual network function, an internet of things device, a data source, or a location data. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the searching the community to identify the responder from the plural roles comprises identifying the responder based on a criteria including at least one of a credential, a proximity to the event, or an experience with similar events. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein each role of the plural roles within the community includes a blockchain ledger.
