Discovery of connected devices to determine control capabilities and meta-information

This invention describes a smart device that can automatically find other smart devices connected to its network. It then figures out what those devices can do and presents a user interface to control them. The claims specifically narrow this invention to systems where all the smart devices form a mesh network.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread adoption of unified IoT standards like Matter, which often leverage mesh networks. The increased maturity and prevalence of mesh networking protocols now provide a more stable foundation for this invention's discovery and control logic.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, network protocols, user interface
