Abstract

A system for controlling an environment of interest is provided that includes a primary electronic device that can have a memory to store executable instructions and one or more processors. When implementing the executable instructions, the one or more processors are configured to obtain context data within an environment of interest and determine a condition within the environment of interest related to a user based on the context data. The one or more processors are also configured to communicate a message from the primary electronic device to the user, or dynamically adjust a characteristic of an environmental electronic device based on the condition within the environment.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for controlling an environment of interest:
 a primary electronic device having a memory to store executable instructions and one or more processors, when implementing the executable instructions, to:   obtain context data within an environment of interest;   determine a condition within the environment of interest related to a user based on the context data; and   communicate a message from the primary electronic device to the user, or dynamically adjust a characteristic of an environmental electronic device based on the condition within the environment.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the primary electronic device obtains the context data from at least one of a sensor of the primary electronic device or a communication from a secondary electronic device. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the environmental electronic device is a wearable electronic device. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the environmental electronic device is at least one of a cooling sock, jewelry, a head band, a shirt, or pants. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the environment of interest is within a vehicle. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the condition is a temperature of a location within the environment of interest. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein to communicate the message from the primary electronic device to the user, the message is displayed on a display of the primary electronic device. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein dynamically adjusting the characteristic of the environmental electronic device comprises varying a temperature of the environmental electronic device. 
     
     
         9 . A method, comprising:
 under control of one or more processors including program instructions to:   obtain context data within an environment of interest;   determine a condition within the environment of interest related to a user based on the context data; and   communicate a message from a primary electronic device to the user, or dynamically adjust a characteristic of an environmental electronic device based on the condition within the environment of interest.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein to obtain the context data the one or more processors further include program instructions to communicate with a secondary electronic device to receive the context data. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , the one or more processors further include program instructions to:
 determine whether the characteristic of the environmental electronic device can be dynamically adjusted to vary the environment of interest; and   vary the message communicated from the primary electronic device to the user based on determining the characteristic of the environmental electronic device can be dynamically adjusted.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein to communicate the message from the primary electronic device to the user, the message is displayed on a display of the primary electronic device. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein to dynamically adjust the characteristic of the environmental electronic device comprises varying temperature of the environmental electronic device. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein to determine the condition an artificial intelligence algorithm utilizes the context data. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the one or more processors are also configured to obtain auxiliary context data from a remote device and utilize the auxiliary context data to determine the condition using the artificial intelligence algorithm. 
     
     
         16 . A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising computer executable code to:
 obtain context data within an environment of interest;   determine a condition within the environment of interest related to a user based on the context data; and   communicate a message from a primary electronic device to the user, or dynamically adjust a characteristic of an environmental electronic device based on the condition within the environment.   
     
     
         17 . The computer program product of  claim 16 , wherein to obtain the context data the computer executable code to: communicate with a secondary electronic device to receive the context data. 
     
     
         18 . The computer program product of  claim 16 , wherein to communicate the message from the primary electronic device to the user, the message is displayed on a display of the primary electronic device. 
     
     
         19 . The computer program product of  claim 16 , wherein to dynamically adjust the characteristic of the environmental electronic device comprises varying temperature of the environmental electronic device. 
     
     
         20 . The computer program product of  claim 16 , wherein to determine the condition an artificial intelligence algorithm utilizes the context data.
