Abstract
A method, computer system, and a computer program product for dynamic internet of things (IoT) device grouping is provided. After an initial location of an IoT device is set, a current location of the IoT device is later determined. Thereafter, the determined current location is compared to the initial location. Responsive to determining that the current location does not match the initial location based on the comparing, a new IoT device group is assigned to the IoT device.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for dynamic internet of things (IoT) device grouping, the method comprising:
- setting an initial location of an IoT device;
- determining a current location of the IoT device;
- comparing the determined current location to the initial location;
- and
- responsive to determining that the current location does not match the initial location based on the comparing, assigning a new IoT device group to the IoT device.
A computer system for dynamic internet of things (IoT) device grouping, comprising:
- one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage media, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable tangible storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more computer-readable memories, wherein the computer system is capable of performing a method comprising:
- setting an initial location of an IoT device;
- determining a current location of the IoT device;
- comparing the determined current location to the initial location;
- and
- responsive to determining that the current location does not match the initial location based on the comparing, assigning a new IoT device group to the IoT device.
A computer program product for dynamic internet of things (IoT) device grouping, comprising a computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- setting an initial location of an IoT device;
- determining a current location of the IoT device;
- comparing the determined current location to the initial location;
- and
- responsive to determining that the current location does not match the initial location based on the comparing, assigning a new IoT device group to the IoT device.
