Internet of Things (IoT) Personal Tracking Apparatus, System, and Method
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, with a processor of a first Internet of Things (“
IoT”
)-capable personal tracking device, at least one first sensor data from each of at least one first sensor of a plurality of first sensors of the first IoT-capable personal tracking device, wherein the plurality of first sensors comprises at least one of one or more second sensors that monitor physical conditions of a body of a user or one or more third sensors that monitor environmental conditions external to the body of the user;
analyzing, with the processor of the first IoT-capable personal tracking device, the at least one first sensor data to identify one or more first external IoT-capable devices with which to interact and to determine one or more first tasks to be performed by the identified one or more first external IoT-capable devices, each based at least in part on the at least one first sensor data from each of the at least one first sensor; and
autonomously sending, by the processor of the first IoT-capable personal tracking device and via machine-to-machine communication, one or more first control instructions to each of the identified one or more first external IoT-capable devices, based on the determined one or more first tasks.

Abstract
Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing Internet of Things (“IoT”) functionality. In some embodiments, an IoT-capable personal tracking device might receive sensor data from each of a plurality of sensors, and might analyze the sensor data to identify one or more external IoT-capable devices with which to interact and to determine one or more tasks to be performed by the identified IoT-capable devices, each based at least in part on the sensor data. In some cases, the plurality of first sensors might comprise at least one of one or more sensors that monitor physical conditions of a user'"'"'s body and/or one or more sensors that monitor environmental conditions external to the user'"'"'s body. The personal tracking device might subsequently autonomously send, via machine-to-machine communication, control instructions to each of the identified external IoT-capable devices, based on the determined tasks. Multiple personal tracking devices may also be used.
