Abstract
For each device in a collaborative environment, qualities of system characteristics are determined. Based on the respective qualities of each device, a subset of devices is identified, including at least one device having a highest first quality and at least one device having a highest second quality, each corresponding to a different system characteristic. One or more devices from the subset of devices are then selected, based on the first quality and the second quality of each device of the subset of devices, to perform a function associated with the respective system characteristic.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining that a first device is performing a function in a collaborative environment setting, wherein the function is relevant to a system characteristic;
- determining a first quality of the system characteristic of the first device;
- in response to determining a change in the first quality:
- identifying a plurality of devices in the collaborative environment setting, wherein the plurality of devices corresponds to a plurality of qualities of the system characteristic;
- comparing the changed first quality to the plurality of qualities;
- and
- selecting, based on the comparing, a second device of the plurality of devices for performing the function in the collaborative environment setting, wherein the second device corresponds to a second quality of the plurality of qualities of the system characteristic.
A system comprising:
- communication circuitry configured to receive and transmit data between devices;
- and
- control circuitry configured to:
- determine that a first device is performing a function in a collaborative environment setting, wherein the function is relevant to a system characteristic;
- determine a first quality of the system characteristic of the first device;
- in response to determining a change in the first quality:
- identify a plurality of devices in the collaborative environment setting, wherein the plurality of devices corresponds to a plurality of qualities of the system characteristic;
- compare the changed first quality to the plurality of qualities;
- and
- select, based on comparing the changed first quality to the plurality of qualities, a second device of the plurality of devices for performing the function in the collaborative environment setting, wherein the second device corresponds to a second quality of the plurality of qualities of the system characteristic.
