  • Publication number: 20230393541
    Abstract: A method synchronizes a plurality of mobile devices from different vendors by pairing mobile devices with a hub; positioning the hub in an area accessible to group members; automatically copying data structures with characteristics of the mobile device and extracting data from the mobile devices when each of the group members are within a range of the hub; uploading the copied data structures to a remote server; parsing the data based on each respective mobile manufacture data structure; and synchronizing user data with a cloud database. In implementations, the method can be used for fitness training of teams or for selecting optimal team members for a task. The hub's awareness of connected devices in a building can be used to reduce energy consumption by turning off building sectors based on occupants therein.
