Abstract: A conference system leveraging radio frequency communication standards for initiating a conference and controlling conference room presets. The system comprises a processor, a memory, a data storage device, a display, and at least one communication interface configured to enable communications with a remote server and one or more RF beacons, wherein the one or more RF beacons are configured for periodically broadcasting a beacon ID. The system further comprises a program of instructions stored in the memory and executable in the processor, the program of instructions being operable to: receive from at least one of the one or more RF beacons the beacon ID, estimate a distance to the at least one of the one or more RF beacons according to a detected signal strength of the RF beacon broadcast, determine a location based on the distance to the at least one of the one or more RF beacons, accept information defining a conference type from a plurality of conference types, each conference type being associated with preset resources, display at least one preset parameter associated with the conference type, receive preset information including a start time, an end time, and one or more settings for a preset resource, automatically associate the preset information with at least one preset resource based on the determined location and the conference type, and send to the associated preset resources at least one control command comprising the one or more settings in response to the start time.

Abstract: A facility scheduling system comprises an RFID reader, a user interface device, a control processor and one or more preset resources. The RFID reader receives information pertaining to a user and a meeting. The RFID reader communicates this information to the control system which in turn retrieves further information about the user and the meeting from a facility security system, a facility management system, and a calendar system. The user is presented with a personalized user interface on the user interface device allowing him to control one or more preset resources according to preset parameters.

Abstract: A portable electronic device communicates with an NFC tag and a scheduling server to manage the schedule of a conference room. The portable electronic device receives an address and an application identifier from the NFC tag and opens a scheduling application in response. The portable electronic device then communicates with a scheduling server to receive the schedule of the address stored on the NFC tag. The user may reserve the area and set a number of presets through the scheduling application. Updates to the schedule are communicated to the scheduling server from the portable electronic device.

Abstract: A system in which a portable electronic device communicates with an external device to determine a location. Upon determining its location, the portable electronic device transmits this information as well as identifying information to a control processor. The control processor controls one or more controllable devices according to the location and identifying information. The portable electronic device may determine the location via NFC tag or via one or more RF beacons transmitting information according to the Bluetooth 4.0 protocol.
