    Abstract: An interface gateway interfaces between a first device and a second device serving a hospitality establishment. The first device is one of a property management system (PMS) and a guest service device, and the second device is the other of the property management system (PMS) and the guest service device. One or more communication ports perform data communications with the first device and the second device. One or more processors receive a message from the first device, determine that the message is in a first format, convert the message from the first format to an internal data structure, parse the message in the internal data structure to determine that the message is applicable to the second device, determine that the second device supports a second format, convert the message from the internal data structure to the second format, and send the message in the second format to the second device.

    Abstract: A client device in a distributed system sends a request to a server via a network and receives a service time duration from the server. The service time duration corresponds to time that the server spent servicing the request. A processor of the client device compares the service time duration with a dynamically generated service time threshold, and automatically issues one or more alert messages to a network operation center (NOC) when the service time duration is greater than the service time threshold. The service time threshold is dynamically calculated according to historic service time durations received from the server for a plurality of previous requests sent by the client device. The service time threshold is dynamically calculated according to historic service time durations of only previous requests of a same type as the request, where the previous requests sent by the client device are of a plurality of types.

    Abstract translation: 分布式系统中的客户端设备通过网络向服务器发送请求,并从服务器接收服务持续时间。 服务持续时间对应于服务器为服务请求而花费的时间。 客户端设备的处理器将服务持续时间与动态生成的服务时间阈值进行比较,并且当服务持续时间大于服务时间阈值时,自动向网络操作中心(NOC)发出一个或多个警报消息。 根据由客户端设备发送的多个先前请求,从服务器接收到的历史服务时间长度动态地计算服务时间阈值。 根据与请求相同类型的先前请求的历史服务持续时间动态地计算服务时间阈值,其中由客户端设备发送的先前请求是多种类型的。

    Abstract: Users store information relevant to first responders in the event of an emergency. When a user later places an emergency call, the user's emergency information is automatically made available to the public-safety answering point operator handling the call. Hotel personal are notified of the call and may listen to and break in to the ongoing call in order to assist. A reverse 9-1-1 broadcast enables hotel personnel to quickly notify guests of an emergency situation via in-room and mobile phones. In the event that police need to conduct surveillance on a target location, the onsite PBX server reconfigures phones within the vicinity of the target location to operate in an open mode and records the audio/visual information received. An incoming call to a hotel room from the PSAP is automatically connected to the in-room phone even if other incoming calls not from the PSAP are being screened by front desk.

    Abstract: A method of automatic hostname configuration includes receiving a request from a client device. A location detection module may be utilized for determining a location identifier representing a location at which the client device is located. A hostname is formed including at least the location identifier, and a control server assigns the hostname to the client device by sending an acknowledgement including the hostname to the client device. The request and acknowledgement may be communicated using DHCP. Simple network management protocol messages may be sent to one or more switches to query for a MAC address of the client device to determine the source switch and port from which the request originated. The switch-port-to-location table may include several ports that map to a same location identifier. The hostname may further be formed by including a device type identifier associated with the client device.

    Abstract: A system for aggregate monitoring Internet Protocol television (IPTV) channel activity across user-based groups of private computer networks includes monitoring servers for monitoring private networks. Each private network has a monitoring server operable to receive multicast stream information from at least one switch on the private network, the multicast stream information indicating which ports of the at least one switch are joined to one or more multicast streams. A central server stores information associating users with a group of one or more of the private networks. The central server receives a request from a remote device via the WAN, determines the group of private networks associated with the requesting user, automatically generates a set of IPTV channel activity statistics according to only the statuses collected for each private network in the group associated with the requesting user, and sends the set of statistics to the remote device.

    Abstract: A hospitality establishment includes guest rooms having media devices installed therein. Each guest room has one or more in-room media devices for providing a pay-per-use media function. A media system controller dynamically associates a credit corresponding to a monetary value with a particular guest room in response to an occurrence of a first event, configures an in-room media device of the particular guest room to indicate the credit associated with the particular guest room and allow a guest of the particular guest room to utilize at least an amount of the credit toward an order of the pay-per-use media function, activates the pay-per-use media function on at least one of the in-room media devices of the particular guest room in response to a received order, and decreases the credit associated with the particular guest room according to the amount of the credit utilized toward the received order.
