Abstract: To effectively operate in an increasingly prolific Internet of Things environment, one best has the ability to message, whether device status, actions taken, recommendations for actions or other information to those with a need to know or respond to device-execution instructions. Traditional messaging such as texting and e-mail typically are limited in that they can neither provide automatic audio output to the recipient nor can they may be automatically relayed or contain execution instructions for target devices. The present invention is an appliance that communicates with other IoT devices that provides Extended-Capability Messaging with these capabilities and can include AI and optionally configured in a secure version. Artificial-Intelligence elements of a variety of types can be included in Extended-Capability Messaging Appliances and these and other AI elements constitute a Hybrid AI Backbone.

Abstract: To effectively operate in an increasingly prolific Internet of Things environment one best has the ability to message, whether messaging device status, actions taken, recommendations for actions or other information to those with a need to know or containing instructions for device execution. Traditional messaging of various types such as texting and e-mail typically are limited in that they can neither provide automatic audio output at the recipient nor can they may be automatically relayed or contain execution instructions for target devices. The present invention is an Appliance that communicates with other IoT devices such as sensors and actuators and regional or central servers using Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) or Normal Power Wide Area Network (NPWAN) protocols that provides Extended-Capability Messaging provides these capabilities that can include artificial intelligence and optionally configured in a secure version.
