Abstract

An Internet of Thing (IoT) device includes a body network; and one or more devices, each device having a head portion, a sensor, a vibrator in the elongated body, a processor coupled to the sensor and the vibrator, and a wireless transceiver in the elongated body coupled to the body network.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A device, comprising:
a head portion;
an elongated body;
a sensor coupled to the elongated body;
an actively powered vibrator in the elongated body coupled to an internal battery power source that vibrates at one or more patterns;
a processor coupled to the sensor and the vibrator; and
a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the elongated body encloses the sensor.

3. The device of claim 1 , comprising a camera internal to the elongated body and further coupled to a graphical processing unit (GPU) and wirelessly coupled to the processor.

4. The device of claim 1 , comprising code to provide sensor data to communicate sensor data with one or more remote persons.

5. The device of claim 1 , comprising a camera coupled to the processor.

6. The device of claim 1 , comprising an electronic nose or electronic tongue coupled to the processor.

7. The device of claim 1 , comprising a cloud-based image processing system running code to receive images from a camera and code to recognize an image.

8. The device of claim 1 , comprising a wireless mesh network coupled to the wireless transceiver to transfer data from node to node.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the vibrator comprises a game unit.

10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the head comprises a game unit.

11. The device of claim 1 , comprising a tongue coupled to the head.

12. The device of claim 1 , comprising an energy scavenging unit, a piezoelectric transducer, a solar cell, or a wireless energy capture unit to supply power to the processor.

13. The device of claim 1 , comprising code to analyze and predict stress or vibration impact.

14. The device of claim 1 , comprising code to perform gaming based on vibration.

15. A system, comprising:
a body network; and
one or more devices, each device having a head portion, a sensor, an actively powered vibrator in the elongated body coupled to an internal battery power source, a processor coupled to the sensor and the vibrator, and a wireless transceiver in the elongated body coupled to the body network.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the sensor is coupled to a surface to detect stress or vibration associated with the surface.

17. The system of claim 15 , comprising a camera coupled to the processor.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the camera is coupled to a graphical processing unit (GPU).

19. The system of claim 17 , comprising a cloud-based image processing system running code to receive images from the camera and code to recognize an image.

20. The system of claim 15 , wherein the sensor detects motion.
