Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for imposing physical actions, by endpoints, based on activities by users. One such method includes storing multiple rules in a data structure, where each of the multiple rules indicates a physical action to be performed in response to an activity, and then receiving, by a computing device, an activity message including data indicative of an activity of a user. The method also includes retrieving, by the computing device, one of the multiple rules from the data structure based on the data indicative of the activity and identifying, by the computing device, the physical action included in the one of the multiple rules. The method then includes transmitting, by the computing device, an order for the identified physical action to an endpoint, whereby the endpoint commands a drone to perform the identified physical action as a response to the activity of the user.
