Abstract
Methods, sensor network monitors (150), and mobile terminals (120) are disclosed that map a plurality of sensors (110) to sensor identification information provided by the mobile terminals (120). A method includes receiving (500) stimulus characteristic information, which characterizes a stimulus provided to one of the sensors (110), and an associated sensor identification information from the mobile terminal (120). A response signal is received (502) from the sensor (110) responding to the stimulus. A network address of the sensor (110) is identified. The response signal is matched (504) to the stimulus characteristic information. The network address of the sensor (110) is associated (506) with the sensor identification information associated with the stimulus characteristic information matched to the response signal. The network address of the sensor (110) and the associated sensor identification information is provided (508) to a resource directory (152) for storage.
