Abstract

An approach, for autonomous self-servicing of decentralized peer-to-peer devices in an autonomous decentralized peer-to-peer telemetry (ADEPT) environment. A first ADEPT peer connects to ADEPT peers based on peer consensus. The first ADEPT peer determines service needs based on receiving diagnostic inputs. The first ADEPT peer identifies service providers based on consensus service contracts associated to the service needs. The first ADEPT peer creates service orders based on the service providers and output the service orders to service providers based on the consensus service contracts.

Claims (48)

1. A method, for autonomous self-servicing of decentralized peer-to-peer devices in an autonomous decentralized peer-to-peer telemetry (ADEPT) environment, the method comprising:

connecting, by a first ADEPT peer, to one or more ADEPT peers based on peer consensus;

determining, by the first ADEPT peer, one or more service needs based on receiving one or more diagnostic inputs;

identifying, by the first ADEPT peer, one or more service providers based on one or more consensus service contracts associated to the one or more service needs;

creating, by the first ADEPT peer, one or more service orders based on the one or more service providers; and

outputting, by the first ADEPT peer, the one or more service orders to the one or more service providers based on the one or more consensus service contracts.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more consensus service contracts are created by:

sending, by the first ADEPT peer, one or more service contract offers associated to the one or more service providers;

receiving, by the first ADEPT peer, one or more service contract acceptances associated to the one or more service contract offers; and

outputting, by the first ADEPT peer, the one or more consensus service contracts toward the one or more ADEPT peers.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein the one or more service contract offers are based on activating the first ADEPT peer device, predetermined the first ADEPT peer device service records, predetermined ADEPT peer device service profile and user established agreements.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the one or more diagnostic inputs comprise at least one of one or more sensor input, the first ADEPT peer analytic results actions, the one or more ADEPT peer analytic result actions and the one or more ADEPT peer sensor input.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more ADEPT peers, comprises one or more wallets comprising at least one of one or more device responsibilities, one or more device relationships, one or more autonomous device coordination, one or more service history and the one or more consensus service contracts.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more consensus service contracts comprise at least one of one or more service provider identifiers, one or more service identifiers, one or more contract terms and one or more contract values.

7. The method of claim 5 wherein the one or more service history comprises at least one of one or more repair actions, one or more contract status, one or more service action statistics and one or more parts replacement statistics.

8. A computer program product, for autonomous self-servicing of decentralized peer-to-peer devices in an autonomous decentralized peer-to-peer telemetry (ADEPT) environment, the computer program product comprising:

one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:

program instructions to, connect, by a first ADEPT peer, to one or more ADEPT peers based on peer consensus;

program instructions to, determine, by the first ADEPT peer, one or more service needs based on receiving one or more diagnostic inputs;

program instructions to, identify, by the first ADEPT peer, one or more service providers based on one or more consensus service contracts associated to the one or more service needs;

program instructions to, create, by the first ADEPT peer, one or more service orders based on the one or more service providers; and

program instructions to, output, by the first ADEPT peer, the one or more service orders to one or more service providers based on the one or more consensus service contracts.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the one or more consensus service contracts are created by:

program instructions to, send, by the first ADEPT peer, one or more service contract offers associated to the one or more service providers;

program instructions to, receive, by the first ADEPT peer, one or more service contract acceptances associated to the one or more service contract offers; and

program instructions to, output, by the first ADEPT peer, the one or more consensus service contracts toward the one or more ADEPT peers.

10. The computer program product of claim 9 wherein the one or more service contract offers are based on activating the first ADEPT peer device, predetermined the first ADEPT peer device service records, predetermined ADEPT peer device service profile and user established agreements.

11. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the one or more diagnostic inputs comprise at least one of one or more sensor input, the first ADEPT peer analytic results actions, the one or more ADEPT peer analytic result actions and the one or more ADEPT peer sensor input.

12. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the one or more ADEPT peers, comprises one or more wallets comprising at least one of one or more device responsibilities, one or more device relationships, one or more autonomous device coordination, one or more service history and the one or more consensus service contracts.

13. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the one or more consensus service contracts comprise at least one of one or more service provider identifiers, one or more service identifiers, one or more contract terms and one or more contract values.

14. The computer program product of claim 12 , wherein the one or more service history comprises at least one of one or more repair actions, one or more contract status, one or more service action statistics and one or more parts replacement statistics.

15. A computer system, for autonomous self-servicing of decentralized peer-to-peer devices in an autonomous decentralized peer-to-peer telemetry (ADEPT) environment, the computer system comprising:

one or more computer processors;

one or more computer readable storage media;

program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the program instructions comprising:

program instructions to, connect, by a first ADEPT peer, to one or more ADEPT peers based on peer consensus;

program instructions to, determine, by the first ADEPT peer, one or more service needs based on receiving one or more diagnostic inputs;

program instructions to, identify, by the first ADEPT peer, one or more service providers based on one or more consensus service contracts associated to the one or more service needs;

program instructions to, create, by the first ADEPT peer, one or more service orders based on the one or more service providers; and

program instructions to, output, by the first ADEPT peer, the one or more service orders to one or more service providers based on the one or more consensus service contracts.

16. The computer system of claim 15 , wherein the one or more consensus service contracts are created by:

program instructions to, send, by the first ADEPT peer, one or more service contract offers associated to the one or more service providers;

program instructions to, receive, by the first ADEPT peer, one or more service contract acceptances associated to the one or more service contract offers; and

program instructions to, output, by the first ADEPT peer, the one or more consensus service contracts toward the one or more ADEPT peers.

17. The computer system of claim 16 wherein the one or more service contract offers are based on activating the first ADEPT peer device, predetermined the first ADEPT peer device service records, predetermined ADEPT peer device service profile and user established agreements.

18. The computer system of claim 15 wherein the one or more diagnostic inputs comprise at least one of one or more sensor input, the first ADEPT peer analytic results actions, the one or more ADEPT peer analytic result actions and the one or more ADEPT peer sensor input.

19. The computer system of claim 15 , wherein the one or more ADEPT peers, comprises one or more wallets comprising at least one of one or more device responsibilities, one or more device relationships, one or more autonomous device coordination, one or more service history and the one or more consensus service contracts.
