The disclosure generally relates to various methods to discover, configure, and leverage relationships in Internet of Things (IoT) networks. More particularly, the methods disclosed herein may support automated processes to create configurable sub-divisions and access controls in an IoT network based on usage associated with objects that are registered in the IoT network and interactions among the registered objects. Furthermore, in one embodiment, relationships between IoT devices that belong to different users may be implicitly discovered and/or ranked based on meetings (e.g., interactions) between the IoT devices, and relationships between the different users may likewise be implicitly discovered and/or ranked. Moreover, locations and interactions associated with IoT devices may be tracked over time to further discover user-specific and potentially asymmetric relationships among the IoT devices and/or the users associated therewith (e.g., where one user considers another user a close friend and the other user considers the first user an acquaintance).

Methods to discover, configure, and leverage relationships in internet of things (IoT) networks

A system and method for associating a mobile computing device with a particular seat in a seating environment. The system collects first sensor data from device sensors of a first mobile computing device based on activity detected within the seating environment. The system then determines, for each of a plurality of seats in the seating environment, a degree of correlation with the mobile computing device based at least in part on the first sensor data, and associates the mobile computing device with the seat, among the plurality of seats, having the highest degree of correlation with the first mobile computing device.

A networked device may provide tracking data associated with the networked device to an augmented reality (AR) device via a local network. The tracking data may describe one or more trackable features of the networked device. The AR device may utilize the tracking data to detect the networked device in a camera view. The AR device may generate an augmented reality view in association with the networked device in response to detecting at least one trackable feature of the networked device in the camera view of the AR device. At least a portion of the augmented reality view can be augmented with AR properties associated with the networked device when the networked device is positioned in the camera view.

Device-provided tracking data for augmented reality

The disclosure generally relates to enabling communication among one or more Internet of Things (IoT) device groups. In particular, various heterogeneous IoT devices that may need to interact with one another in different ways may be organized into IoT device groups to support efficient interaction among the IoT devices. For example, pre-defined IoT device groups may be formed organize certain IoT devices that perform similar activities and certain IoT devices may be dynamically allocated to ad-hoc IoT device groups for certain contexts (e.g., the ad-hoc IoT device groups may include IoT devices that can implement a desired function and therefore be dynamically formed to implement the desired function). Furthermore, the IoT groups may communicate hierarchically, wherein messages may be exchanged among IoT group owners or ranking members to support efficient communication between different IoT groups.

The disclosure is related to providing interconnectivity between a plurality of user devices. A wireless interconnectivity device connects to a first user device of the plurality of user devices over a first local wireless network, connects to a second user device of the plurality of user devices over a second local wireless network, receives a request from the first user device to transfer data from the first user device to the second user device, determines whether or not a third user device has granted permission to transfer the data from the first user device to the second user device, and transfers the data from the first user device to the second user device based on the third user device having granted permission to transfer the data from the first user device to the second user device.

User interactive application enabled gateway

A mobile computing device is operated to control a vehicle. A digital key for accessing a vehicle is stored for accessing the vehicle. Profile information is associated with the digital key for configuring operation and/or use of a vehicle. The profile information may include one or more outside parameters for implementing one or more pre-entry vehicle configurations. When one or more proximity conditions are detected as being satisfied as between the mobile computing device and the vehicle, a communication is sent to the vehicle in order to cause the vehicle to implement one or more pre-entry vehicle configurations. The communication can be based on the digital key and may specify the one or more outside parameters.

The disclosure is related to confirming an identity of a first user of a first user device. An aspect includes receiving a request to confirm the identity of the first user, determining whether or not there is a relationship between the first user or the first user device and a second user of a second user device or the second user device based on a first list of user interactions associated with the first user device and a second list of user interactions associated with the second user device, and confirming the identity of the first user based on determining that there is a relationship between the first user or the first user device and the second user or the second user device.

Peer based authentication

In response to detecting the entry condition, a determination is made as to when multiple mobile computing devices are present within the vehicle. An occupancy zone is determined for each multiple mobile computing device that is determined as being present within the vehicle. Profile information is determined for each mobile computing device. At least one of an operational or usage facet of the vehicle can be configured at each occupancy zone in which one of the mobile computing devices is determined to be present. The operational or usage facet of the vehicle at a location of each occupancy zone can be based at least in part on the profile information determined from the mobile computing device that is deemed to be present at that occupancy zone.

Methods and apparatus for performing efficient pattern matching in a client-server network are described herein. A communication device acquires an object to be matched. At least one reduced set of features is extracted from the object to be matched and a determination as to whether the object to be matched matches one of a plurality of known objects in a local library stored on the communication device is generated. An indication representing a match of the object is presented if the determination indicates a local match exists in the local library. A match request including the at least one reduced set of features is transmitted for a remote matching determination when the determination indicates that no local match exists in the local library. In accordance with some aspects, a series of one or more match requests may be transmitted for a remote matching determination.
