Claims20
A processor-implemented method for utilizing home automation technology to awaken a user, the method comprising:
- based on a plurality of user configuration data, targeting a user with one or more sensory effects from one or more remote devices, wherein the remote devices are devices connected with a home automation network capable of producing one or more sensory effects;
- and
- determining whether the user has acknowledged wakefulness.
A computer system for utilizing home automation technology to awaken a user, the computer system comprising:
- one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more mobile devices, one or more computer-readable tangible storage medium, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage medium for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, wherein the computer system is capable of performing a method comprising:
- based on a plurality of user configuration data, targeting the user with one or more sensory effects from one or more remote devices, wherein the remote devices are devices connected with a home automation network capable of producing one or more sensory effects;
- and
- determining whether the user has acknowledged wakefulness.
A computer program product for utilizing home automation technology to awaken a user, the computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer-readable tangible storage medium and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage medium, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- based on a plurality of user configuration data, targeting the user with one or more sensory effects from one or more remote devices, wherein the remote devices are devices connected with a home automation network capable of producing one or more sensory effects;
- and
- determining whether the user has acknowledged wakefulness.
