Abstract

An apparatus including an automation system that detects threats within a secured geographic area, a wireless wearable device worn by a human user that detects activities of the user and a processor of the automation system that wirelessly receives the detected activities of the human user from the wearable device as the user enters the secured area, that associates at least one of the detected activities with a predetermined action and that automatically implements a physical change within the secured area in support of the predetermined action.

First claim

1 . An apparatus comprising:
an automation system that detects threats within a secured geographic area; a wireless wearable device worn by a human user that detects activities of the user; and a processor of the automation system that wirelessly receives the detected activities of the human user from the wearable device as the user enters the secured area, that associates at least one of the detected activities with a predetermined action and that automatically implements a physical change within the secured area in support of the predetermined action.

2 . The apparatus as in claim 1 wherein the at least one detected activity further comprise a visit to a gym by the user for a workout.

3 . The apparatus as in claim 2 wherein the predetermined action associated to the visit to the gym further comprises the user taking a shower and the physical change further comprises a processor that closes a switch to raise a temperature of a water heater in anticipation of the shower.

4 . The apparatus as in claim 1 further comprising a smartphone that wirelessly connects to the wearable device and determines a physical location to each of the detected activities.

5 . The apparatus as in claim 4 further comprising a processor of the automation system that associates the detected activity with a place of work of the user.

6 . The apparatus as in claim 5 wherein the predetermined action associated with the place of work further comprises the user relaxing at the end of work and the physical change further comprises a processor that closes a switch to activate a home entertainment center as the user enters the secured area.

7 . The apparatus as in claim 5 wherein the predetermined action associated with the place of work further comprises the user relaxing at the end of work and the physical change further comprises a processor that closes a switch to change a heating or cooling setting as the user enters the secured area.

8 . An apparatus comprising:
an automation system that detects threats within a secured geographic area; a wireless wearable device carried by a human user that detects activities of the user; and a processor of the automation system that wirelessly receives the detected activities of the human user from the wearable device within the secured area, matches the detected activities with a criteria and automatically implements a physical change within the secured area based upon the match.

9 . The apparatus as in claim 8 wherein the wearable device further comprises one of a Samsung gear device, a Google Glass device and a WiFi or Bluetooth wristband.

10 . The apparatus as in claim 8 further comprising a processor that determines a mood of the user based a set of web interactions of the user.

11 . The apparatus as in claim 8 wherein the physical change further comprises a change in an environmental parameter of the secured area.

12 . The apparatus as in claim 11 further comprising a temperature set point changed by the processor.

13 . The apparatus as in claim 8 wherein the physical change further comprises a home entertainment system activated by the processor.

14 . The apparatus as in claim 8 further comprising a plurality of criteria each associated with a particular activity and each associated with a different physical change within the secured area.

15 . An apparatus comprising:
an automation system that detects threats within a secured geographic area; a wireless portable device carried by a human user that detects activities of the user; and a processor of the automation system having a plurality of criteria saved in a memory of the processor, the processor wirelessly receives the detected activities of the human user from the portable device within the secured area, matches the detected activities with one of the plurality of criteria and automatically implements an environmental change within the secured area based upon the match.

16 . The apparatus as in claim 1 wherein the portable device further comprises a wearable device.

17 . The apparatus as in claim 1 wherein the wearable device further comprises one of Samsung gear, Google glass and a WiFi or Bluetooth wrist worn device.

18 . The apparatus as in claim 15 wherein the environmental change further comprises a temperature change of heating or air conditioning.

19 . The apparatus as in claim 15 wherein the environmental change further comprises activation of a home entertainment system.

20 . The apparatus as in claim 15 further comprising a processor that monitors a social networking site for activities of the user.
