Using Movement of an End-User Between Monitored Environments to Trigger an Action at an Internet of Things Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240057232 titled 'Using Movement of an End-User Between Monitored Environments to Trigger an Action at an Internet of Things Device
Simplified Explanation
The method described in the abstract involves using Wi-Fi modules in computing devices to detect movement of an end-user between different monitored environments, triggering actions in Internet of Things (IoT) devices in response to the movement.
- The method uses Wi-Fi modules to detect movement of an end-user between different monitored environments.
- The first monitored environment contains a first IoT device, while the second monitored environment contains a second IoT device.
- The first and second IoT devices are connected to the computing devices over an IoT network.
- When movement is detected, a first IoT action is triggered at the first IoT device, and a second IoT action is triggered at the second IoT device.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Home automation systems
- Security systems
- Healthcare monitoring devices
Problems solved by this technology:
- Seamless transition between different monitored environments
- Efficient triggering of actions in IoT devices based on user movement
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved user experience
- Enhanced automation capabilities
- Increased efficiency in IoT device control
Original Abstract Submitted
in one aspect, a method includes using one or more wi-fi modules of one or more computing devices to detect movement of an end-user from a first monitored environment of the one or more computing devices to a second, different monitored environment of the one or more computing devices, where the first monitored environment comprises a first internet of things (iot) device, where the second monitored environment comprises a second iot device, and where the first and second iot devices are communicatively coupled to the one or more computing devices over an iot network. the method also includes in response to detecting the movement of the end-user from the first monitored environment to the second monitored environment: triggering a first iot action at the first iot device, and triggering a second iot action at the second iot device.
