System and method for scheduling a meeting room includes accepting information defining a meeting type, which is associated with at least one preset resources. The method further includes displaying at least one preset parameter based on the meeting type including email address of attendees, receiving preset information from the at least one displayed preset parameter, automatically identifying and reserving a first room that is associated with a maximum capacity number by communicating with a scheduling server the availability of the at least one preset resources based on the received preset information, notifying the organizer of the first room, detecting a number of attendees physically presence in the first room during an attendance time period by utilizing at least one sensor, and sending at least one command to control at least one of the associated preset resources in response to a start time and end time.

Real-time Automatic Meeting Room Reservation Based on the Number of Actual Participants

Disclosed is a control method of a management device managing a network. The control method includes detecting a first user input and transferring a first event execution command corresponding to the first user input to a first electronic device on the basis of correlation information between an event execution command from a second device and a user input, wherein each event execution command is configured to make the first electronic device execute corresponding event.

Electronic device for controlling another electronic device and control method thereof

An occupancy tracking system for tracking occupancy within a building is configured to determine one or more wireless signal strengths for one or more wireless connections between one or more wireless routers and one or more user devices located within the building. The system is configured to determine, based on the one or more wireless signal strengths, the locations of one or more occupants associated with the user devices within the building and the number of the one or more occupants located within the building and control one or more pieces of building equipment based on the locations of the one or more occupants and the number of the one or more occupants.

Building management system with occupancy tracking using wireless communication

A wireless device may be used to communicate with and control one or more components of an HVAC system from a remote location. The wireless device may be configured to display building control information on the display of the wireless device, wherein the building control information that is displayed may be adapted based, at least in part, on an identified pattern of user actions with the wireless device. The identified pattern may be at least partially based on user actions with associated geo-locations, times, and/or other conditions. The information that is to be displayed on the display of the wireless device may be determined based, at least in part, on a current time, a current geo-location of the wireless device, or other current condition in view of the identified pattern in user actions.

Mobile device for building control with adaptive user interface

A HVAC management system includes a space having an atmospheric condition to be controlled. Also included are air manipulation components to alter the atmospheric condition of the space. Further included is a sensor assembly located proximate the space for approximating a number of occupants present in the space based on a number of mobile devices located within the space. The sensor assembly includes a receiver capable of detecting communication data associated with a mobile device. The HVAC management system yet further includes a controller in operative communication with the air manipulation components and the sensor assembly, the controller receiving information from the sensor assembly comprising temperature data and the number of mobile devices, the controller controlling the air manipulation components based on the information received from the sensor assembly.

Hvac management system and method

Apparatus, systems and methods for ascertaining the occupancy of a building are presented. The building is divided into one or more control zones which correspond to physical areas of the building associated with controllable modules, such as HVAC units, lighting, irrigation, or other environmental features such as fountains, music, video, and the like. Zone parameters define how zone devices shall react to the number of occupants located in the particular zone. A building control system detects individual mobile devices in and around the building, and determines the locations of each device by using trilateration and/or location services. The identified mobile devices act as proxies for building occupants. The locations of these devices are correlated with the locations of the zones in the building, and the building control system then adjusts the operating parameters of the zone based on the number of devices present in the zone.

Occupancy sensing and building control using mobile devices

La presente invention concerne un appareil, des systemes et des procedes permettant de determiner l'occupation d'un bâtiment. Le bâtiment est divise en une ou plusieurs zones de controle qui correspondent a des zones physiques du bâtiment associees a des modules controlables, tels que des unites de chauffage, ventilation et climatisation, l'eclairage, l'irrigation, ou d'autres caracteristiques environnementales, telles que des fontaines, de la musique, des videos, et similaire. Des parametres de zone definissent la maniere dont doivent reagir des dispositifs de zone en fonction du nombre d'occupants se trouvant dans la zone specifique. Un systeme de commande de bâtiment detecte des dispositifs mobiles individuels dans le bâtiment et autour de celui-ci, et determine les emplacements de chaque dispositif a l'aide d'une trilateration et/ou de services de localisation. Les dispositifs mobiles identifies font office de mandataires pour les occupants du bâtiment. Les emplacements de ces dispositifs sont mis en correlation avec les emplacements des zones dans le bâtiment, et le systeme de commande de bâtiment ajuste ensuite les parametres de fonctionnement de la zone en fonction du nombre de dispositifs presents dans la zone.
