Systems and methods for optimal control of smart appliances by energy efficient autonomous systems

An electronic device comprising:

• one or more displays;
• one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media including instructions;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the storage media, the one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:
• determine that a first edge device has entered a control area, wherein the control area contains a plurality of smart appliances, wherein the plurality of smart appliances comprise a first smart appliance and a second smart appliance, wherein the first smart appliance is associated with a first active user list specifying one or more second edge devices, wherein the second smart appliance is associated with a second active user list specifying one or more third edge devices, and wherein the one or more third edge devices are outside the first active user list;
• access, via one or more sensors associated with the first edge device and responsive to determining the first edge device has entered the control area, first sensor data and first relative displacement data at a first time, wherein the first relative displacement data indicates a distance of the first edge device from each of the plurality of smart appliances in the control area, and wherein the first relative displacement data is calculated by the first edge device based on the first sensor data;
• access, from each of the one or more second edge devices, second sensor data at the first time;
• determine, based on the first sensor data, one or more environmental parameters in the control area are not satisfied at the first time;
• determine, responsive to determining that the one or more environmental parameters are not satisfied, one or more first modifications to one or more operating parameters of the first smart appliance, wherein the one or more first modifications to the one or more operating parameters are based on the first and second sensor data, and wherein the first smart appliance is selected based on the first relative displacement data;
• send, to the first smart appliance, instructions for modifying the one or more operating parameters based on the one or more first modifications;
• access, from the first edge device, third sensor data and second relative displacement data at a second time, wherein the second time is subsequent to the first time;
• determine, based on the third sensor data, the one or more environmental parameters in the control area are not satisfied at the second time;
• determine additional modifications to the one or more operating parameters of the first smart appliance are unavailable to satisfy the one or more environmental parameters in the control area;
• determine modifications to operating parameters of another smart appliance in the control area are required to satisfy the one or more environmental parameters in the control area;
• select the second smart appliance based on the second relative displacement data;
• access, from each of the third edge devices, fourth sensor data at the second time;
• determine one or more second modifications to one or more operating parameters of the second smart appliance, wherein the one or more second modifications to the one or more operating parameters of the second smart appliance are based on the third and fourth sensor data;
• and
• send, to the second smart appliance, instructions for modifying the one or more operating parameters of the second smart appliance based on the one or more second modifications.
