Publication number: 20240373192Abstract: Embodiments relate to methods and systems for object location tracking of one object from among many objects in a same vicinity. An example method includes: affixing a location tracking device to each of the one object and the many objects, the location tracking device being configured to: detect a movement state of the location tracking device; in response to detecting the movement state, establish a connection to identify itself to an external server and to identify a location of the location tracking device and the one object; and if the connection is established, then allow connection with one or more other location tracking devices, so that the one or more other location tracking devices can be identified to the external server to identify the location of the one or more location tracking devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2023Publication date: November 7, 2024Inventors: James Cattermole, Bart Drew, Benjamin Nicholls, Vaughn Coetzee

Publication number: 20240329989Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating an event type and extending event message streaming. The generating an event type includes receiving event definition data. The disclosed technology includes an event type generator that generates scripts in a variety of languages for processing an event of the event type and event dictionary data including event schema associated with the event type. The event dictionary data represents a lightweight library package for merging into a micro service. The event type generator further registers the event type in an event message streamer thereby extending the event message streaming with the event type. The event message streamer provides an event bus that receives an event of the registered event type from a micro service for publishing. The event message streamer delivers the event in an event message to one or more micro services that subscribes to the event type for consuming.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2023Publication date: October 3, 2024Applicant: Better Holdco, Inc.Inventors: Raed Shomali, Benjamin Nicholes

Publication number: 20240105042Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic plumbing system including fall detection and alerts. The system comprises a body, a user input/output module, and a processor. The body is operable to be mounted on a surface. The user input/output module is operable to communicate with a user regarding operation of the system and includes a fall sensor and at least one of a communication device and a monitor. The fall sensor is operable to be mounted on the body, define a detection zone, and detect a fall of a user in the detection zone. The communication device is operable to be mounted within a first proximity to the body. The monitor is operable to be mounted within a second proximity to the body. The processor is operable to communicate with the fall sensor and at least one of the communication device and the monitor regarding the operation of the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Matthew J.

Publication number: 20230304272Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic plumbing system including sensor control. The system comprises a body, an electronic valve, a user input/output module, and a processor. The body is operable to be mounted on a surface and includes a discharge outlet. The discharge outlet is operable to deliver water. The electronic valve is operable to control a parameter for water flowing through the discharge outlet. The user input/output module is operable to communicate with a user regarding a selected value of the parameter for water. The user input/output module includes an activation sensor. The activation sensor is operable to define an activation zone. The activation sensor is operable to detect at least one of a position, movement, and motion of an object in the activation zone. Each position, movement, or motion of the object in the activation zone corresponds to a value of the parameter for water.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Matthew J. Lance, Matthew Benjamin Nicholls
