  • Patent number: 11841882
    Abstract: Described herein is a system and method of processing data of a digital twins object model. Data associated with a node of the digital twins object model is parsed to identify metadata associated with the node. The data can comprise telemetry data received from an IoT device associated with the node. User-defined function(s) are determined that match the identified metadata. The data and metadata can be provided to the user-defined function(s). The determined user-defined function(s) are executed. Also described herein is a method of creating a user-defined function for processing data of a digital twins object model. Information regarding business logic is received from a user defining a user-defined function. Information regarding telemetry condition(s) to which the user-defined function applies is received defining a matcher. The user-defined function and matcher are stored as objects within a spatial intelligence graph associated with the digital twins object model.

  • Patent number: 11233668
    Abstract: A meeting insight computing system includes a meeting evaluation machine configured to collect quality parameters from meeting quality monitoring devices. The quality parameters each quantify meeting conditions during one or more previously-elapsed meetings and are usable to determine an overall quality score for each of the one or more previously-elapsed meetings. A graphical scheduling interface is configured to facilitate scheduling of an upcoming meeting at a designated meeting time, in a meeting location, and with one or more meeting participants. An insight generation machine is configured to report a meeting insight via the graphical scheduling interface. The meeting insight is based on the meeting time, the meeting location, the one or more meeting participants, and the quality parameters, and includes a recommendation to change one or more of the meeting time, meeting location, and meeting participants to improve a quality score of the upcoming meeting.

  • Publication number: 20190361407
    Abstract: A computing system includes a physical space monitoring interface configured to receive status parameters from a plurality of physical space monitors, each of the physical space monitors configured to report a status parameter for one more locations, devices, or people associated with a physical space. An efficiency analysis machine analyzes the status parameters to determine at least one usage efficiency metric for the physical space and at least one physical space efficiency insight. An analytics interface graphically displays the usage efficiency metric and the physical space efficiency insight, the physical space efficiency insight including a recommendation to change a physical space usage policy affecting one or more locations, devices, or people associated with the physical space to improve the usage efficiency metric.

  • Publication number: 20190332789
    Abstract: Enforcing role assignment permissions. A method includes receiving an access request from a given role entity for access to a resource. A hierarchical graph that defines a topology for an entity is accessed to determine a given node associated with the given role entity. One or more ancestor permissions, applying to nodes hierarchically higher in the graph than the given node, and one or more local permission, applying to nodes hierarchically lower in the graph than the given node, are accessed. The method includes determining that the role entity has permission from at least one of the ancestor permissions or the local permissions to perform the access in the access request on the resource. As a result, the role entity is allowed to perform the access in the access request, on the resource.

  • Publication number: 20190332713
    Abstract: Providing access to sensor data from devices within a physical space includes identifying areas and sub-areas of the physical space. Based on the areas and sub-areas, a hierarchical graph is generated describing a topology of the physical space. A node for each area and sub-area, each device located within the physical space, and each user associated with an area, sub-area, or device is generated. A device associated with a particular area or sub-area is identified. The device includes a sensor generating data. A device node associated with the device is generated within the hierarchical graph. The device node is a sub-node of a node corresponding to the particular area or sub-area. A database that stores sensor data for each device located within the physical space is generated. Sensor data is provided for the device. The hierarchical graph is used to identify the device within the particular area or sub-area, and to identify sensor data corresponding to the device.

  • Patent number: 9858259
    Abstract: A computer system provides an automated tool that processes audio data and data about computer operating context to automatically capture information, such as information from conversations and meetings. The computer operating context can include, for example, environmental data sensed, or other contextual information maintained or tracked, by the computer. The audio data and computer operating context are processed by the computer to detect starting conditions for data extraction. After detecting a starting condition, the processor initiates speech processing on the audio information to generate corresponding text data. The processor processes the text data using text filters that define salient patterns in the text data. Such salient patterns can correspond to, for example, tasks to be performed, follow-up appointments and other events, messages to be sent, important points or notes, and the like.

  • Patent number: 9571595
    Abstract: To employ presence-based history information in conjunction with a notebook application, presence information for one or more users associated with a notebook application is determined from a variety of presence services. One or more interactions of the users are tracked in conjunction with a location within the notebook to record history information associated with the one or more users. The history information may be presented to the users through a user interface in conjunction with a location within the notebook application or through a separate user interface. The presented history information may include the recorded history information and statistical information based on the recorded history information. The users may interact with the user interface to employ the presented presence-based history information in conjunction with contents of the notebook application. For example, replay of user interactions in conjunction with a location within the notebook application may be enabled.
