Abstract
Methods and systems for collaborative learning and enabling skills among smart devices within a closed social network group are disclosed. A method includes: receiving, by a computing device from a first smart device, a request for steps to perform an activity; determining, by the computing device, the steps to perform the activity using a knowledge corpus; translating, by the computing device, the steps into a format that is compatible with the first smart device; and sending, by the computing device, the translated steps to the first smart device.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device from a first smart device of a plurality of smart devices in a closed social network group, a request for steps to perform an activity;
- determining, by the computing device, the steps to perform the activity using a knowledge corpus;
- translating, by the computing device, the steps into a format that is compatible with the first smart device;
- preventing, by the computing device, a second smart device of the plurality of smart devices from using the knowledge corpus from recognition that a position of the second smart device has changed and is no longer in a same position;
- sending, by the computing device, the translated steps to the first smart device;
- in response to determining, by the computer device, that the first smart device did not perform the translated steps, removing the first smart device from the closed social network group;
- and
- communicating, by the computing device, with other smart devices of a same category within the closed social network group to determine if a similar activity has been performed by any of the other smart devices of the same category.
A system comprising:
- a hardware processor, a computer readable memory, and a computer readable storage medium associated with a computing device;
- program instructions configured to receive, from a first smart device, a request for steps to perform an activity;
- program instructions configured to determine the steps to perform the activity using a knowledge corpus;
- program instructions configured to translate the steps into a format that is compatible with the first smart device;
- program instructions configured to send the translated steps to the first smart device;
- and
- program instructions configured to prevent a different smart device of a plurality of smart devices from using the knowledge corpus from recognition that a position of the different smart device has changed, wherein the first smart device and the plurality of smart devices are in a closed social network group;
- and
- program instructions configured to communicate with other smart devices of a same category within the closed social network group to determine if a similar activity has been performed by any of the other smart devices of the same category,
- wherein the program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage medium for execution by the hardware processor via the computer readable memory.
