US Patent 11495119 Security ecosystem

A system, method, and apparatus for implementing workflows across multiple differing systems and devices are provided herein. During operation a workflow is automatically generated upon the detection of new device capabilities. In particular, a workflow server will detect the presence of new device capabilities in a particular area. The new device capabilities will be analyzed, and an appropriate trigger and action will be determined based on the new device capabilities. The appropriate trigger and action will then be implemented as a newly-created workflow.
