Abstract

An aspect enables context aware actions among heterogeneous Internet of Things (IoT) devices. An IoT device receives data representing a context of each of a first set of IoT devices, receives data representing a current state of each of a second set of IoT devices, and determines an action to perform at a target IoT based on the received data. An aspect verifies an implied relationship between a first user and a second user by detecting an interaction between a first user device belonging to the first user and a second user device belonging to the second user, storing information related to the interaction in a first interaction table associated with the first user device, assigning a relationship identifier to the second user based, at least in part, on the information related to the interaction, and determining whether or not the assigned relationship identifier is correct.
