Using Motion and Presence of an End-User to Switch Operational Modes of an Internet of Things Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240056634 titled 'Using Motion and Presence of an End-User to Switch Operational Modes of an Internet of Things Device

Simplified Explanation

The method described in the abstract involves using a Wi-Fi module of a computing device to detect when an end-user enters a monitored environment, causing a battery-powered IoT device to switch from standby mode to active mode.

  • The method involves using a Wi-Fi module to detect the presence of an end-user in a monitored environment.
  • The computing device is separate from the IoT device but is connected to it over an IoT network.
  • When the end-user is detected, the IoT device switches from standby mode to active mode.
  • Standby mode consumes less power than active mode.

Original Abstract Submitted

in one aspect, a method includes using a wi-fi module of a computing device to detect that an end-user has entered a monitored environment of the computing device, where the computing device is separate from, and communicatively coupled over an internet of things (iot) network to, a battery-powered iot device. the method also includes in response to detecting that the end-user has entered the monitored environment of the computing device, causing the iot device to switch from operating in a standby mode to instead operating in an active mode, where operation in the standby mode comprises a mode in which the iot device consumes less power than when operating in the active mode.
