Embodiments herein generally relate to an electronic system, electronic device and/or a method of using the same to improve human activities in a business, a home or an educational environment. The electronic system, electronic device, and method allows for feedback from an electronic system and/or users to alert another user that the environmental characteristic levels in a certain region are unacceptable. The method includes inputting one or more environmental characteristic preferences into one or more electronic devices, receiving, at a first electronic device of the one or more electronic devices, local environment data, determining whether the local environmental data is associated with a first user or local environment, exchanging the local environment data with the one or more electronic devices, and generating an alert.

Electronic system and method for improving human interaction and activities

Embodiments of the disclosure provided herein can be used to improve the control, selection and transmission of data to a remote video conferencing environment, by use of a plurality of wired or wirelessly connected electronic devices. In one example, the transmission of data from a local environment can be improved by switching the source of visual inputs (e.g., cameras or display of an electronic device, such as laptop) and/or audio inputs (e.g., microphones) to the one or more appropriate visual and audio sources available within the local environment. The most appropriate visual and audio sources can be the sources that provide the participants in the remote environment the most relevant data giving the remote users the best understanding of the current activities in the local environment.

Video conference system

Embodiments of the invention generally include an alarm system and method of using an alarm system to reliably provide an alarm to a user at a desired time or at the occurrence of some desired action. In some embodiments, the apparatus and methods include a media output device that can receive information about an alarm event and then automatically provide an alarm prompt at the time when the alarm event is to occur. In one configuration, a media output device is configured to communicate and synchronize with a portable electronic device, so that a reliable and coordinated delivery of an alarm prompt can be obtained by these devices. Some aspects of the invention may include an apparatus, method and/or computing device software application configured to more easily setup and reliably deliver the alarm signal information to the user using one or more media output devices that are used in combination with an input device.

Method and apparatus for delivering audible information from an electronic device

A method of communication between a plurality of network devices and an external electronic device is provided. The method includes receiving, at a first network device, device information and power information from a second network device, where the received device information and power information is transferred over a first communication link on a first network, where the first communication link is formed between a first transceiver of the first network device and a first transceiver of the second network device. The method further includes comparing the received power information with power information of the first network device. The method further includes transferring a portion of the received device information from the first network device over a second communication link on a second network when it is determined based on the comparison that the first network device is better suited than the second network device to communicate on the second network.

Power efficient mesh network

Method and apparatus for reliably providing an alarm notification

Embodiments of the disclosure may provide a low cost customizable case for electronic devices. The low cost customizable case may have a preassembled form and a post assembled form. In the preassembled form, the low cost customizable case may be planar and include a first plurality of regions and a second plurality of regions. A plurality of protrusions may be formed on the first plurality of regions.
