Imagine the scene, you return home and the temperature rises to the degrees you want, the lights come on, and your oven starts to heat up to prepare dinner. All this can happen because the GPS of your iPhone informed your "smart" home that you are parking below.
This is the future proposed by an Apple patent filed on Tuesday. The patent is referred to as a “system and method of determining the location of wireless communication devices for controlling and regulating the operation of the devices based on the location" or in English "system and method of determining location of wireless communication devices for controlling/adjusting operation of devices based on the location. "
"According to the new patent, your iPhone will be able to control lighting systems, security systems, garage doors, music controllers, air conditioning controllers, or kitchen appliances," says Apple.
Of course, the problem is the connectivity of the devices, as the Apple system will need a laundry or a refrigerator with Wi-Fi. Not to mention the network security system as hackers lurk.
