Abstract

In one example, a method is provided for a computing device to distribute software related to a lighting infrastructure application framework. An example method comprises receiving, at the computing device, the software, storing the received software in relation to a provider of the software, transmitting the software to destination devices in response to receiving a request, calculating at least one of a fee and a revenue in response to transmitting the software, and transmitting a message indicating a value of the fee or the revenue, wherein the message is transmitted to one of the application provider and the lighting infrastructure owner.

Claims (26)

1 . A method for a computing device to distribute software related to a lighting infrastructure application framework, comprising:

receiving, at the computing device, the software, wherein the software is to be executed by at least one of a plurality of lighting node platform devices within the lighting infrastructure application framework, wherein the software is at least one of a script, an application, an app, and a routine;

storing the received software in relation to a provider of the software, wherein the provider is one of an application provider and a lighting infrastructure owner;

transmitting the software to destination devices in response to receiving a request;

calculating at least one of a fee and a revenue in response to transmitting the software; and

transmitting a message indicating a value of the fee or the revenue, wherein the message is transmitted to one of the application provider and the lighting infrastructure owner.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, at the computing device, an update to the software, wherein the update is at least one of a binary update, a firmware update, and configuration data; and

transmitting the update in response to receiving the update.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the request is from a one of a third-party device that is not affiliated with the lighting infrastructure owner, a gateway platform device, and one of the plurality of lighting node platform devices.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the destination devices are at least one of the plurality of lighting node platform devices.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the fee and the revenue is based on data transmitted in association with the at least one of the plurality of lighting node platform devices executing the software.

6 . A computing device to distribute software related to a lighting infrastructure application framework, the computing device comprising:

processors; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor among the processors, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising, at least:

receiving, at the computing device, the software, wherein the software is to be executed by at least one of a plurality of lighting node platform devices within the lighting infrastructure application framework, wherein the software is at least one of a script, an application, an app, and a routine;

storing the received software in relation to a provider of the software, wherein the provider is one of an application provider and a lighting infrastructure owner;

transmitting the software to destination devices in response to receiving a request;

calculating at least one of a fee and a revenue in response to transmitting the software; and

transmitting a message indicating a value of the fee or the revenue, wherein the message is transmitted to one of the application provider and the lighting infrastructure owner.

7 . A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored thereon processor-executable software instructions configured to cause a processor to perform operations for distributing software related to a lighting infrastructure application framework, the operations comprising:

receiving the software, wherein the software is to be executed by at least one of a plurality of lighting node platform devices within the lighting infrastructure application framework, wherein the software is at least one of a script, an application, an app, and a routine;

storing the received software in relation to a provider of the software, wherein the provider is one of an application provider and a lighting infrastructure owner;

transmitting the software to destination devices in response to receiving a request;

calculating at least one of a fee and a revenue in response to transmitting the software; and

transmitting a message indicating a value of the fee or the revenue, wherein the message is transmitted to one of the application provider and the lighting infrastructure owner.
