Connected Devices (Oracle)
Definition
Connected Device: is defined as each unique device (a) that transmits data to or receives data from Oracle application Programs or Oracle cloud services and (b) that does not require any human interaction or human input to execute Oracle application business logic or to update Oracle application tables. Devices include, but are not limited to, sensors, meters, RFID readers, and barcode scanners. Devices may be connected directly to Oracle application Programs or Oracle cloud services, or may be connected indirectly to Oracle application Programs or Oracle cloud services through a gateway device or a third-party communications service. A device may be uniquely identified as being the endpoint of communication of data to or from an Oracle application Program or an Oracle cloud service, or may be uniquely identified by its explicit registry with an Oracle application Program or an Oracle cloud service.
Counting rules
Count each unique Connected Device meeting both (a) and (b). Direct or indirect (gateway / third-party communications) connections count. Uniqueness is by communication endpoint or explicit registry. Human-operated access is outside this metric (see NUP / Application User device rules elsewhere).
Floors / minimums
