Many devices today—like smart fridges, HVAC systems, cars, or medical equipment—are part of the Internet of Things (IoT). But when these devices develop problems or need maintenance, current systems often fail to detect the issue in time or alert users properly. Delays can lead to bigger breakdowns, higher costs, or even cybersecurity risks.
Key Features & Innovations
This invention introduces a smart, automated platform that continuously monitors connected devices and alerts users in real time when there’s a problem or a need for repair. Using a central hub and wireless data (including satellite if needed), it identifies faults, predicts upcoming maintenance needs, and recommends specific actions or nearby qualified service providers—automatically.
Even better, it can connect users via video to service technicians, offer AI-generated repair instructions, and even trigger automatic fixes (like self-cleaning cycles) on some devices.
What’s New & Different
The standout innovation is the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning to not only detect problems in real time but also predict issues before they happen. It combines device data, usage patterns, voice inputs, and environmental factors to do this. Unlike older systems, it also instantly recommends trusted, nearby technicians based on the user’s location and the issue at hand.
Tangible Benefits
- Fewer surprise breakdowns
- Lower repair costs
- Longer device life
- Improved cybersecurity
- Faster fixes with less effort from the user
Broader Impact
This system could revolutionize home and industrial device management. It supports sustainability by reducing waste and energy use, lowers costs for consumers and businesses, and makes high-tech maintenance accessible to anyone—no tech skills required.
