Apple可以自動控制家電的專利

根據USPTO公告的專利資料顯示,Apple剛獲得一個專利,它可以收集自靜態和移動設備的數據,配合無線通信技術,用來判斷用戶的現在位置和未來可能會在的位置。再依這些數據,用戶家中特定的預設功能即可被遠距自動開、關。

Title : System and method of determining location of wireless communication devices/persons for controlling/adjusting operation of devices based on the location
Filing Date : 2012.7.13.
Issue Date : 2013.11.5.
Abstract :
One or more relay servers can access first data received from one or more first devices (e.g., a phone, tablet computer, vehicle tracking device, or badge reader). The one or more relay servers can aggregate the data and infer a location of a person. The one or more relay servers can transmit second signals including second data to one or more second devices (e.g., lighting systems, security systems, garage-door openers, music controllers, climate controllers, or kitchen appliances), the second data being based at least in part on the estimated location. The second-signal transmission can be pushed to the second devices or pulled by the second devices. Operations of the second devices can be controlled at least in part on the second data.
