Abstract
A system and method establishes a communication connection between a first device of a first user and a second device of a second user. Request data corresponding to a request to establish a communication connection with a second user is received, and a user profile associated with the second user is determined. One or more sensors of the second device receive input data corresponding to the environment of the second device, and an identity of the second user is determined based thereon. The communication connection is established and, based on the identity, the second device tracks movement of the second user in the environment.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for establishing a communication connection between a first device associated with a first user profile and a second device associated with a second user profile, the method comprising:
- receiving, using a communications server, a communication request from the first device;
- determining that the communication request corresponds to the second device;
- determine that the second user profile indicates that the second device corresponds to an autonomously mobile device;
- sending, to the second device, a first command to determine presence of a user proximate the autonomously mobile device, wherein the first command causes the second device to move at least one of a component or location of the autonomously mobile device;
- receiving, from the second device, image data;
- determining that the image data corresponds to a face associated with the second user profile;
- sending, to the second device, a command to track a user associated with the second user profile;
- and
- establishing the communication connection between the first device and the second device.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving request data corresponding to a request to establish a communication connection between a first device and a second device associated with a user profile;
- determining that the second device is an autonomously mobile device;
- based on determining that the second device is the autonomously mobile device, sending, to the second device, a first command to search for a user associated with the user profile, wherein the first command causes the second device to move at least one of a component or location;
- receiving, from the second device, first data corresponding to an environment of the second device;
- determining that the first data corresponds to presence of the user associated with the user profile;
- sending, to the second device, a second command to maintain the user in a field of observation;
- and
- establishing the communication connection between the first device and the second device.
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
- receive request data corresponding to a request to establish a communication connection between a first device and a second device associated with a user profile;
- determine that the second device is an autonomously mobile device;
- based on determining that the second device is the autonomously mobile device, send, to the second device, a first command to search for a user associated with the user profile, wherein the first command causes the second device to move at least one of a component or location;
- receive, from the second device, first data corresponding to an environment of the second device;
- determine that the first data corresponds to presence of the user associated with the second user profile;
- send, to the second device, a second command to maintain the second user in a field of observation;
- and
- establish the communication connection between the first device and the second device.
