Patent number: 12468834Abstract: Centralized artifacts systems and methods for processing artifacts of distributed entities are disclosed. The centralized artifacts system receives a set of artifact-input data associated with the artifacts of the distributed entities. An artifact suggestions generator can generate artifact hierarchies using the artifact-input data. Artifact hierarchies can include categorical containers, tile elements, artifact fields, and suggested task blocks. An artifact collection interface can display the artifact hierarchies to entities and receive, from the entities, a new set of artifact-input data associated with the completion of the artifact hierarchies. Using the new set of artifact-input data, the centralized artifacts system performs updates to the artifact hierarchies such as modifying the existing artifact hierarchies or generating new artifact hierarchies.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2024Date of Patent: November 11, 2025Assignee: TRUSTWORTHY COMPANYInventors: Daniel McCool, Daniel Kushner, Nathaniel Robinson

Patent number: 10101052Abstract: In some aspects, the subject technology relates to an “Eco-mode” on a thermostat. A button or other user interface element may be configured to activate and/or deactivate) the eco-mode on the thermostat. Upon selection of the eco-mode option, various energy-saving programs can be implemented on the thermostat. The energy-saving programs can be configured to adjust a temperature setting of the thermostat or to provide notifications to a user associated with the thermostat that implement various approaches for reducing energy consumption of a heating, ventilation, and air condition (HVAC) system associated with the thermostat. The eco-mode button can provide users/consumers with a convenient way to save energy, without requiring the user to think of comfort tradeoffs that may need to take place.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2014Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: OPOWER, INC.Inventors: Ilan Frank, Daniel McCool, Tom Darci

Patent number: 10031534Abstract: A thermostat set point insight providing method and system that receives thermostat set point information for a reference population for a user, receives at least one thermostat setting for the user, identifies the set point insight for the user based on the thermostat set point information for the reference population and the at least one thermostat setting for the user, and provides the set point insight to the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2014Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: OPOWER, INC.Inventors: Ryan Devenish, Daniel McCool, Thomas E. Darci, Ralph Niewmierzycki, Mari Miyachi
