Methods, systems, and storage media are described for Internet of Things (IoT) hubs and IoT cradles in mesh networks and/or fog computing systems while providing interoperability among IoT devices provided by various manufacturers, vendors, and service providers. IoT devices may be connected or attached to IoT cradles, and the IoT cradles may communicate data among themselves over a cradle network. The IoT cradles may also communicate IoT data with the IoT hub over a hub network. The IoT hub may communicate the IoT data with clients and/or servers over a wide area network using wired or wireless communication protocols. Clients may access resources and/or services provided by the IoT devices by accessing the IoT hub via a dedicated application. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to monitor the personal safety of a user of a portable electronic device are disclosed. Example portable electronic devices disclosed herein are to adjust a threshold alert level based on event information obtained for a location associated with the portable electronic device, the threshold alert level to indicate a degree of danger to which a user of the portable electronic device is exposed. Disclosed example portable electronic devices are also to determine that the threshold alert level has been satisfied when at least a threshold number of a set of usage attributes associated with the threshold alert level are detected in a monitored set of usage attributes. Disclosed example portable electronic devices are further to actuate an output device associated with the portable electronic device when the threshold alert level is satisfied.

Safety systems and methods that use portable electronic devices to monitor the personal safety of a user

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to monitor the personal safety of a user of a portable electronic device are disclosed. Example safety managers disclosed herein include processor circuitry to determine whether data collected from a remote electronic device corresponds to a first usage context profile associated with the remote electronic device, obtain a threshold alert level corresponding to the first usage context profile when the collected data corresponds to the first usage context profile, the threshold alert level to indicate a degree of danger to which a user is exposed, adjust the threshold alert level based on information obtained from a data source different from the remote electronic device, monitor usage attributes reported by the remote electronic device to determine whether the threshold alert level has been satisfied, and actuate a safety alert associated with the remote electronic device when the threshold alert level has been satisfied.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to monitor the personal safety of a user of a portable electronic device are disclosed. The safety monitor includes a usage context analyzer to determine a usage context in which the portable electronic device is used based on a history of past usage information. The safety monitor also includes a current usage detector, a threshold alert level monitor, and a safety alert actuator. The current usage detector determines whether the portable electronic device is being used in the usage context at a current time, and, if so, obtains a corresponding threshold alert level that indicates a degree of danger to which a user of the portable electronic device is exposed. The threshold alert level monitor determines whether the threshold alert level has been satisfied, and, if so, the safety alert actuator actuates an output device of the portable electronic device.
