  • Apparatus and methods for converting status information from internet of things (IoT) devices into action announcements for task-based groups
    Patent number: 11875179
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method can include receiving a signal representing a first status of a peripheral device. The method can further include identifying an action based on the first status of the peripheral device, each user from a subset of users being predesignated to perform the action. The method can further include sending, to a set of user devices, a signal representing the action. The method can further include receiving, from at least one user device, a signal representing an acceptance of the action. The method can further include sending, to each remaining user device from the set of user devices, a signal indicating the acceptance of the action by a different user device and a signal indicating that the action has been performed by the user and that causes the first status of the peripheral device to be changed to a second status of the peripheral device.
