Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for establishing and maintaining communication between two or more communication devices (10, 60) coupled to communication networks (31). Some specific aspects relate to communication between a plurality of communication devices (10, 60) each of which is coupled to a respective network (31). Other aspects relate to establishing such communication by way of contact lists maintained and facilitated on systems coupled to the networks (31). Users of multiple communication networks (31), such as VoIP, PSTN and wireless, employ multiple communication devices to communicate with their contacts. For example, a VoIP enabled computer is necessary to access contacts on a VoIP network (31) and a mobile or cellular telephone (60) is used to access contacts on wireless and PSTN networks (51). A contact list, stored on one communication device (10, 60), in some instances, cannot be accessed from another communication device (10, 60). For example, a contact list stored in a VoIP enabled computer cannot be accessed from PSTN or wireless phone devices (60).

Abstract:
The disclosure generally relates to various methods to discover, configure, and leverage relationships in Internet of Things (IoT) networks. More particularly, the methods disclosed herein may support automated processes to create configurable sub-divisions and access controls in an IoT network based on usage associated with objects that are registered in the IoT network and interactions among the registered objects. Furthermore, in one embodiment, relationships between IoT devices that belong to different users may be implicitly discovered and/or ranked based on meetings (e.g., interactions) between the IoT devices, and relationships between the different users may likewise be implicitly discovered and/or ranked. Moreover, locations and interactions associated with IoT devices may be tracked over time to further discover user-specific and potentially asymmetric relationships among the IoT devices and/or the users associated therewith (e.g., where one user considers another user a close friend and the other user considers the first user an acquaintance).
