Location monitor and device cloning

This invention describes a system that watches electronic devices in one place and can make similar devices in another place behave the same way. It uses separate monitoring systems at different physical locations, each connected to local devices. When a device's status changes in one location, the system looks up a corresponding device in the other location using either a pre-set mapping or by matching device characteristics, then controls that second device to mimic the first.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of standardized IoT protocols and accessible edge computing platforms. These advancements now simplify the integration of diverse devices and the deployment of local monitoring systems, making the "device monitor" and "mapping table" aspects more practical.
