Patent attributes
IoT devices are usually single-purpose devices with a set of instructions and parameters. This disclosure relates to a versatile framework that overcomes technical challenges for repurposing nodes operating in an IoT environment. Specifically, this disclosure describes security and functionality adaptations for versatile nodes (“vnodes”) operating within an IoT environment. Vnodes may include segmented data storage locations that allow multiple set of instructions and parameters to be stored on the vnode. The multiple sets of instructions/parameters may allow a vnode to perform a wide range of activities in different IoT operating environments. For example, a vnode may attach to a car during a trip then attach itself to the garage door, then re-attach to the car in the morning. Data storage may be segmented and allow data sharing between segmented storage locations. Data storage may be segmented and not allow data sharing between storage locations and thereby increases data controls.
