  • Patent number: 11638128
    Abstract: Centralized management of the Internet of Things resolves user difficulties. Connected devices may be associated with an owner's or user's electronic profile. The electronic profile may be represented as a graphical user interface (such as a webpage), thus allowing remote management of the connected devices. The owner or user may thus configure the electronic profile to define what electronic data is shared and with whom.

  • Publication number: 20230086570
    Abstract: Power conservation for devices is facilitated based on likelihood of power usage level. An example method can comprise determining, by a first device comprising a processor, that a second device is within a defined proximity of a third device, wherein the third device is determined to be operating in a mode according to a first power consumption operation that satisfies a defined condition, and wherein the operating in the mode according to the first power consumption operation is based on the third device being located at a defined location. The method can also comprise facilitating, by the first device, modification of the mode of the third device based on a determination of a likelihood of usage of a second power consumption operation by the third device. In various embodiments, the third device is configured to operate according to the power save mode or the extended discontinuous reception mode.

  • Patent number: 10587626
    Abstract: An aspect includes storing data elements in a storage space of a memory device. The storage space is allocated for an account of a subscriber of a universal subscriber identification system. An aspect also includes assigning subscriber-inputted security levels to the data elements. The security levels define varying degrees of access protections associated with the data elements. An aspect further includes generating a security envelope that includes a data element selected from the storage space. The security envelope is configured with an access protection scheme that is commensurate with a corresponding assigned security level. An aspect also includes providing access to the selected data element by another subscriber of the universal subscriber identification system via the security envelope. The access is provided in accordance with the access protection scheme.
