Seamless Connectivity Architecture and Methods for IoT and Wearable Devices

Wearable and Internet of Things (IoT) devices have a potential to improve lifestyle, personalize receiving treatments or introduce assisted living for elderly people. However, service delivery depends on maintaining and troubleshooting device connectivity to smartphones, where user engagement and technology proficiency represent a possible barrier that prevents a wider adoption, especially in elderly and disabled population. Low-cost and low-power wearable and IoT devices face challenges when working outside of pared devices or known network proximity. We propose architecture and methods to provide seamless connectivity (Se-Co) between devices and wireless networks, while maintaining low-power, low-cost and standards compatibility. Through Se-Co, the devices connect without user interaction both in home and in unknown roaming networks while maintaining anonymity, privacy and security. Roaming networks approve data limited connectivity to unknown devices that are able to provide a valid anonymized certificate of no compliance and no harm trough a home provider. Se-Co enables shifting data processing, like pattern processing using artificial intelligence, from wearable device or smartphone towards cloud. The proposed Se-Co architecture could provide solutions to increase usability of wearable devices and improve their wider adoption, while keeping low costs of devices, development and services.
