Appl. No.:

16/289364

Inventors:

- Broomfield CO, US
Phil Carpenter - Castle Rock CO, US
Robert J. Morrill - Overland Park KS, US
William R. Walker - Monroe LA, US

International Classification:

G05B 19/042
H04W 4/44
H04W 4/70
H04L 29/08
H04W 4/38
G05B 19/048

Abstract:

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing Internet of Things (“IoT”) functionality. In some embodiments, a computing system or IoT management node might receive sensor data from one or more IoT-capable sensors, analyze the sensor data to determine one or more actions to be taken, and identify one or more devices (e.g., household devices associated with a customer premises; vehicular components associated with a vehicle; devices disposed in, on, or along a roadway; devices disposed throughout a population area; etc.) for performing the determined one or more first actions. The computing system or IoT management node then autonomously controls each of the identified one or more devices to perform tasks based on the determined one or more first actions to be taken, thereby implementing smart environment functionality (e.g., smart home, building, or customer premises functionality, smart vehicle functionality, smart roadway functionality, smart city functionality, and so on).
