Interior climate control augmentation by personal comfort data provided via wireless wearable device communications

1. A method carried out over a mobile wireless network for maintaining a comfort status of a user of a wearable device, the method comprising:

registering, by an affective computing server (ACS), the wearable device associated with the user;

receiving, by the ACS via a mobile wireless technology link, a user comfort status profile (UCSP) message issued by the wearable device, where the UCSP message includes at least a parameter value indicative of the comfort status of the user;

processing, by the ACS, the UCSP message to render a comfort control request based upon the UCSP; and

sending, by the ACS, the comfort control request to an actuator for affecting a change in the comfort status of the user of the wearable device.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the parameter value indicative of the comfort status is a living space environmental status indicator.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the parameter value indicative of the comfort status is a biomarker value indicative of wellbeing of the user of the wearable device.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein the UCSP is transmitted in a constrained application protocol (CoAP) message over the 5G mobile wireless technology link.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the mobile wireless technology link is a 5G mobile wireless technology link.

6. The method of claim 2 wherein the wearable device is an edge computing device that communicates with the ACS via the 5G mobile wireless technology link.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the ACS provides program configuration updates to the wearable device or the actuator using light weight machine to machine (LWM2M) protocol messaging.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein an ACS-to-wearable device messaging is steered to wireless transmission resources according to a spectrum utilization rules configuration and current sensed mobility status of the wearable device.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein a hosting by the ACS is determined based upon capabilities at a local multi-access edge computing network, for a seamless wearer device user experience, where a determination of whether to use a home domain ACS (H-ACS) or a local domain ACS (L-ACS) is based on a smart contract between a local network service provider associated with the L-ACS and a core network service provider associated with the H-ACS, where the smart contract contains a service-level agreements between peer entities.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein the smart contract uses a blockchain protocol, and a curated user data repository (UDR).

11. The method of claim 1 wherein the ACS utilizes different network slice types of a 5G network based upon particular quality of service requirements for messaging between the wearable device and the ACS.

12. The method of claim 1 wherein the wearable device incorporates a Representational State Transfer (REST) oriented application programming interface for interacting with the ACS.

13. The method of claim 1 wherein the ACS communicates with the wearable device over configurations of:

a gNB over sub 6 GHz spectrum and millimeter wave spectrum, and

an eNB over sub 6 GHz spectrum.

14. The method of claim 1 wherein the actuator is an indoor climate control device.

15. The method of claim 14 wherein the indoor climate control device is a heating, ventilation and air conditioning system.

16. The method of claim 1 wherein the actuator is a personal medical treatment device.

17. The method of claim 1 wherein, during the sending, the comfort control request is sent over a mobile wireless technology.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-executable instructions for carrying out a method over a mobile wireless network for maintaining a comfort status of a user of a wearable device, the method comprising:

registering, by an affective computing server (ACS), the wearable device associated with the user;

receiving, by the ACS via a mobile wireless technology link, a user comfort status profile (UCSP) message issued by the wearable device, where the UCSP message includes at least a parameter value indicative of the comfort status of the user;

processing, by the ACS, the UCSP message to render a comfort control request based upon the UCSP; and

sending, by the ACS, the comfort control request to an actuator for affecting a change in the comfort status of the user of the wearable device.

19. An affective computing server (ACS) incorporated into a mobile wireless network management infrastructure, the ACS comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-executable instructions for carrying out a method over a mobile wireless network for maintaining a comfort status of a user of a wearable device, the method comprising:

registering, by the ACS, the wearable device associated with the user;

receiving, by the ACS via a mobile wireless technology link, a user comfort status profile (UCSP) message issued by the wearable device, where the UCSP message includes at least a parameter value indicative of the comfort status of the user;

processing, by the ACS, the UCSP message to render a comfort control request based upon the UCSP; and

sending, by the ACS, the comfort control request to an actuator for affecting a change in the comfort status of the user of the wearable device.

20. The ACS of claim 19 wherein, during the sending, the comfort control request is sent over a mobile wireless technology.
