Zusammenfassung:An on-demand communication system, device, method and program are provided which allows a consumer to request information from an on-demand visibility service. The on-demand visibility service places a request with the on-demand directory service that may then choose a relevant provider to be queried for this information based on situation-based access control logic. The on-demand visibility service then queries the relevant providers with the request for information. Providers may then gather information by optionally using sensors, and may then transmit a provider response to the on-demand visibility service. The on-demand visibility service may then forward this provider response in the form of an answer to the consumer, thereby satisfying the consumer request for information.
