The invention "IOT-Based Car Device" An apparatus and method are described for an automotive internet of things (IoT) system, apparatus, and method. The invention an automotive Internet of Things (IoT) device configured within a car comprises: a wireless communication interface to take signal strength measurements to a mobile device, the signal strength measurements comprising signal strength values; and a signal strength analysis and notification module to analyze the signal strength values from the mobile device to determine when the user has left his or her mobile device at home or at another location and to responsively generate a notification to the user. The "Internet of Things" refers to the interconnection of uniquely-identifiable embedded devices within the Internet infrastructure. Ultimately, IoT is expected to result in new, wide-ranging types of applications in which virtually any type of physical thing may provide information about itself or its surroundings and/or may be controlled remotely via client dev One embodiment of the invention comprises an Internet of Things (IoT) platform which may be utilized by developers to design and build new IoT devices and applications. The invention includes a base hardware/software platform for IoT devices including a predefined networking protocol stack and an IoT hub through which the IoT devices are coupled to the Internet. In addition. The invention includes an IoT service through which the IoT hubs and connected IoT devices may be accessed and managed as described below. In addition, one embodiment of the IoT platform includes an IoT app or Web application (e.g., executed on a client device) to access and configured the IoT service, hub and connected devices. Existing online retailers and other Website operators may leverage the IoT platform described herein to readily provide unique IoT functionality to existing user bases, ices over the Internet.
