Management of guardianship of an entity including via elastic boundaries
First Claim
1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising a set of instructions, which, when executed on a processor of a server, causes the server to:
- receive sensor data from at least one sensor disposed at a location at a sensing range away from an entity, wherein the entity is a human under care of a temporary guardian (TG) pursuant to a set of guardianship rules, the guardianship rules including a geographic boundary defined relative to a current location of the TG, in which the entity is to remain while under the care of the TG;
extract location metadata of the entity from the sensor data;
determine whether the entity is inside or outside the geographic boundary defined relative to the current location of the TG; and
based at least in part on the metadata, send notifications to the TG and to a primary guardian (PG) of the entity when the entity is determined to be outside of the geographic boundary defined relative to the current location of the TG.

Abstract
In embodiments, one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprise a set of instructions, which, when executed on a processor of a server, causes the server to receive sensor data from at least one sensor proximate to an entity, the entity is a human under care of at least one temporary guardian (TG) pursuant to a set of guardianship rules, the guardianship rules including a pre-defined geographic boundary in which the entity is to remain while under the care of the at least one TG. When executed, the instructions further cause the server to extract location metadata of the entity from the sensor data, and based at least in part on the metadata, send notifications to the TG and to a primary guardian (PG) of the entity when the entity is outside of the pre-defined boundary.

6. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising a set of instructions, which, when executed on a processor of a server, causes the server to:
-
receive sensor data from at least one sensor proximate to an entity, wherein the entity is a human under care of at least one temporary guardian (TG) pursuant to a set of guardianship rules, the guardianship rules including a pre-defined geographic boundary in which the entity is to remain while under the care of the at least one TG; extract location metadata of the entity from the sensor data; and based at least in part on the metadata, send notifications to the TG and to a primary guardian (PG) of the entity when the entity is outside of the pre-defined boundary; wherein the pre-defined boundary is elastic, and includes a specified distance from one or more TGs, and further comprising instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to track the location of the one or more TGs; and
calculate the distance between the one or more TGs and the entity; andwherein the one or more TGs includes a first TG and a second TG, the first TG to primarily supervise the entity, and the second TG is a supervisor of the first TG, and wherein the pre-defined boundary includes a specified first distance from the first TG and a specified second distance from the second TG. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)

10. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising a set of instructions, which, when executed on a processor of a cloudlet, cause the cloudlet to:
-
receive a guardianship policy for an entity from a primary guardian (PG) of the entity, the policy defining one or more transfers of guardianship for the entity between a transferring guardian and a receiving guardian at a pre-defined transfer time, wherein after the transfer the receiving guardian acts as guardian of the entity for a pre-defined time period; track locations of the entity, the transferring guardian and the receiving guardian; and at the pre-defined transfer time; pair a client device of the receiving guardian with an entity device, wherein the entity device is worn by or is proximate to the entity; and provide a communication link between the transferring guardian and the receiving guardian. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. An apparatus, comprising:
-
an input interface to receive a sensor data stream from a set of sensors proximate to an entity, wherein the entity is under care of at least one temporary guardian (TG) pursuant to a policy, the policy rules including pre-defined restrictions on at least one of; interactions between the entity and other entities under care of the TG or another TG, or activities the entity may engage in or foods the entity may eat while under the care of the TG; an output interface; an analyzer, coupled to the input interface and to the output interface, to; extract metadata from the sensor data stream, the metadata including behavior detection and activity recognition of the entity; and based at least in part on the metadata, send notifications, via the output interface, to the TG and to a permanent guardian (PG) of the entity when the pre-defined restrictions are violated. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A method, comprising:
-
receiving a policy regarding care of an entity; receiving a directive of delegation of guardianship from a primary guardian (PG) of the entity to a temporary guardian (TG) of the entity, the directive indicating that the TG is to care for the entity during a pre-defined time; configuring terms of the guardianship by the TG based on the policy; communicating the terms of the guardianship to the TG; tracking the entity and the TG during the pre-defined time, in which, at least in part, the entity is mobile; and virtually tying the entity to the TG during the pre-defined time to control a location of the entity. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28)
