Patent number: 11243502Abstract: Sensor information is received. Based at least in part on at least one state detected using the sensor information, an expected value for automatically performing an action associated with a device controlled by a device controller system is evaluated as compared to an expected value for potentially performing, subject to a user interactive qualification, the action associated with the device controlled by the device controller. It is determined that the expected value of automatically performing the action is insufficient to trigger automatically performing the action without being subject to the user interactive qualification. A confirmatory indication is identified. Based at least in part on the confirmatory indication, an instruction is sent to the device to perform the action.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2020Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: BrainofT Inc.Inventors: Ashutosh Saxena, Brendan Berman, Jinjing Zhou, Maurice Chu

Publication number: 20210288832Abstract: A first input is received from a plurality of sensors. A first state including a first location based on the first input is determined. The first state is associated with a first probability. A second input is received from the plurality of sensors. A second state including a second location is determined based on the second input associated with a second probability. It is determined that the second state corresponds to an actual state based on a transition model and the second probability. The transition model associates the first state with the second state and indicates a likelihood of a transition from the first state to the second state. A rule to change a state of at least one network connected device is triggered based on the second state.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2021Publication date: September 16, 2021Applicant: BrainofT Inc.Inventors: Ashutosh Saxena, Hema Swetha Koppula, Chenxia Wu, Ozan Sener

Patent number: 11035562Abstract: One embodiment can provide a light switch module for controlling at least one light source coupled to the light switch module. The light switch module can include a manual control configured to receive a user manual operation; a control-signal-receiving module configured to receive, from a central controller, a control signal; and a switch-mode-configuration module coupled to the manual control and the control-signal-receiving module. The switch-mode-configuration module is configured to place the light switch in a first operation mode in response to receiving the control signal and place the light switch in a second operation mode in response to not receiving the control signal within a predetermined time interval.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2019Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: BrainofT Inc.Inventors: Deng Deng, Ashutosh Saxena

A plurality of inputs that indicate states of a network connected device environment associated with a property of the network connected controllable device to be automatically controlled is received. A plurality of output candidates is evaluated according to an optimization function. The optimization function depends on the plurality of inputs and one or more parameters and the output candidates are associated with candidate settings of the property of the network connected controllable device to be automatically controlled. An output that optimizes the optimization function is selected among the plurality of output candidates.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2016Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: BRAINOFT INC.Inventors: Ashutosh Saxena, Chenxia Wu, Ozan Sener, Brendan Berman, Deng Deng, Lukas Kroc
