The “Distributed Virtual Bus” is “a communication base for interconnecting devices, such as smartphones, tablets, wearables, Smart TVs, and head units.” The “typical scenarios” for the Distributed Virtual Bus can “connect smartphones to food processors, range hoods, air purifiers, air conditioners, lights, curtains, and more.” So like, Bluetooth?
