GENERATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF HOUSEHOLD POLICIES FOR THE SMART HOME
First Claim
1. A method for implementing a household policy within a household environment, comprising:
- receiving, at a processor, the household policy;
interpreting the household policy to extract one or more conditional events associated with the household policy;
monitoring, via at least one sensing smart device in the household environment, for satisfaction of the one or more conditional events; and
when the one or more events is satisfied, implement one or more controls on at least one conditionally controlled smart device in the household environment, the at least one smart device affecting the household environment.

10. A system, comprising:
-
a processor, configured to; receive a household policy; and interpret the household policy to extract one or more conditional events associated with the household policy; at least one sensing smart device configured to monitor for satisfaction of the one or more conditional events; and at least one controlled smart device, configured to operate based upon one or more control commands provided by the processor when the one or more conditional events are satisfied or not satisfied. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium, comprising instructions to:
-
interpret a household policy to extract one or more conditional events associated with the household policy; receive one or more inputs from a sensing smart device configured to collect the one or more inputs, wherein the one or more inputs are used to indicate whether satisfaction of the one or more conditional events has occurred; analyze the one or more inputs to determine whether satisfaction of the one or more conditional events has occurred; and provide one or more control commands to at least one controlled smart device, such that the controlled smart device selectively operates in a particular manner when the one or more conditional events are satisfied or not satisfied. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
