Abstract:
Aspects of the present invention are related to systems, methods and apparatus for monitoring and controlling energy usage. Alert notifications may be generated based on a current power status of an energy-consuming device and location information of a mobile device associated with the energy-consuming device.
Abstract:
A method for monitoring and controlling energy usage in an office environment is described. Energy usage information and sensor data are received from a status and control unit for an appliance. An appropriate energy profile for the appliance is determined. The energy profile is customizable by an end user based on preferences and schedules. The energy profile corresponds to appliances within an energy group. A control message is sent to the status and control unit to implement the determined energy profile.
Abstract:
A method and system for managing power in an enterprise environment based on individual office worker schedules. In one aspect, the system includes a power manager, a plurality of client devices operatively coupled with the power manager and a plurality of managed elements operatively coupled with the power manager, wherein the power manager receives from the client devices individual worker schedule information and generates based at least in part on the individual worker schedule information a list of scheduled events having associated managed elements and power profiles, and wherein in response to a start time of a scheduled event the power manager adjusts a power state of one or more managed elements associated with the scheduled event in accordance with a power profile associated with the scheduled event.
Abstract:
Globally assembled, locally interpreted conditional digital signage playlists allow a global administrator with knowledge of content provider intentions but without knowledge of local data collection methods or local customs at digital signage deployments to assemble a conditional playlist on a global basis and be ensured that content items from the playlist will be displayed at all deployments in a manner conformant with content provider intentions, local data collection methods and local customs.

Abstract:
Aspects of the present invention relate to systems and methods for remote interaction with an imaging device. According to a first aspect of the present invention, an imaging device may receive, from a remote computing device, an HTTP request for an interface image associated with an interface on the imaging device. A functional replica of the interface, at a time associated with the request, may be sent, to the remote computing device, in an HTTP response. According to a second aspect of the present invention, a computing device may send, to an imaging device, an HTTP request for an interface image, and the computing device may receive, in an HTTP response, an interface image. According to a third aspect of the present invention, a gateway computing device may receive, from a remote computing device, an HTTP request for an interface image associated with an interface on an imaging device. The gateway computing device may request, from the imaging device, update information associated with the interface, and the gateway computing device may convert update information received from the imaging device to an updated interface image.
Abstract:
A workspace energy management method and system control the power state of workspace appliances using multi-factor presence detection and mobile phone identity verification. Multifactor presence detection substantially reduces the risk that workspace appliances will be powered-up in response to erroneous detection of presence at the workspace (e.g., false positive). Mobile phone identity verification, which verifies that the office worker's mobile phone is at the workspace (and thus that the office worker is also likely at the workspace) before workspace appliances are powered-up, prevents workspace appliances from being inadvertently powered-up by personnel other than the office worker, but without compromising worker privacy.

Abstract:
Aspects of the present invention are related to systems, methods and apparatus for collecting and displaying digital-marking-surface content based on semantic tags. Some aspects of the present invention relate to ink gestures that invoke content-unit tagging. Some aspects of the present invention relate to ink gestures that invoke the collection and display of like-tagged content units. Some aspects of the present invention relate to ink gestures that invoke the restoration of a viewport or digital sheet to a pre-collection state. Some aspects of the present invention relate to manipulation of content units in a collection view and the persistence of the content-unit manipulations upon restoration of a pre-collect state. Some aspects of the present invention relate to action invocation from a collection view.
