Abstract
Technologies for a distributed Internet of Things (IoT) system including a plurality of IoT devices are disclosed. An example IoT device includes an input device to receive an input from a user and a processor to determine if a pattern is recognized in the input. The example IoT device also includes a communication circuit to: in response to a determination that a pattern is not recognized in the input, communicate a first message indicative of the input over a universal bus; and in response to a determination that a pattern is recognized in the input, communicate a second message indicative of the input directly to another IoT device without using the universal bus.
Claims20
An Internet of Things (IoT) device comprising:
- a processor to determine if a pattern is recognized in an input from a user;
- and
- a communication circuit to:
- in response to a determination that the pattern is not recognized in the input, communicate a first message indicative of the input over a universal bus;
- and
- in response to a determination that the pattern is recognized in the input, communicate a second message indicative of the input directly to another IoT device without using the universal bus.
A storage device or storage disk comprising instructions that, when executed, cause an Internet of Things (IoT) device to at least:
- determine if a pattern is recognized in an input received from a user;
- in response to a determination that the pattern is not recognized in the input, communicate a first message indicative of the input over a universal bus;
- and
- in response to a determination that the pattern is recognized in the input, communicate a second message indicative of the input directly to another IoT device without using the universal bus.
An Internet of Things (IoT) device comprising:
- means for processing an input receive from a user to determine if a pattern is recognized in the input;
- and
- means for communicating to:
- in response to a determination that the pattern is not recognized in the input, communicate a first message indicative of the input over a universal bus;
- and
- in response to a determination that the pattern is recognized in the input, communicate a second message indicative of the input directly to another IoT device without using the universal bus.
