User gets information from Virtual Entity-level service
Virtual Entity-level service provides access to Virtual Entity information,
augmenting sensor information with entity information (entityId, entityType or
several attributes), thus changing the abstraction level. Figure 52 shows the
Subscribe/Notify-pattern, which can be used to get updates about an Attributes
value.

Service gets sensor value from Device
The Sensor Device in Figure 53 pushes an updated sensor value using the
Functional Component Flow Control & Reliability to an IoT Service. Besides the
Push-pattern Request/Response and Subscribe/Notify-pattern are possible.
Figure 54 shows a similar situation but the information is pushed up to the VE
Service.
