Abstract
Examples of the present disclosure relate to a device joining system for a vehicle. For example, the system can include a requesting device including a sensor to detect requesting device environmental information and a grouping controller to send the requesting device environmental information to a vehicle server. In an example, the system can include a vehicle server that includes a grouping evaluator to send to the requesting device a join decision. The join decision can be based on a probability calculated from the requesting device environmental information and device environmental information which is detected by a device in the group.
Claims30
A device joining system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a vehicle server comprising a grouping evaluator;
- a requesting device comprising:
- a sensor to detect requesting device environmental information;
- and
- a grouping controller to send the requesting device environmental information to the vehicle server;
- wherein the grouping evaluator computes a probability from the requesting device environmental information and group device environmental information, generates a join decision based on the probability, and sends the join decision to the requesting device.
A method for joining a device to a group, comprising:
- detecting, with a sensor of a requesting device, requesting device environmental information;
- sending the requesting device environmental information from a grouping controller of the requesting device to a vehicle server;
- and
- computing a probability, with a grouping evaluator, based on the requesting device environmental information and group device environmental information;
- generating a join decision based on the probability;
- and
- sending the join decision to the requesting device.
A vehicle based, device joining vehicle server comprising:
- a grouping evaluator to process received requesting device environmental information from a requesting device, where the requesting device environmental information has been detected by a sensor;
- and
- the grouping evaluator to send the requesting device a join decision, where the join decision is based on a probability calculated from the requesting device environmental information and received group device environmental information.
