  • Publication number: 20240151417
    Abstract: Systems/methods for intelligent commissioning of an HVAC system provide a control node and at least a first network node coupled to communicate with the control node, the first network node configured to retrieve via a user interface objects configured at the control node, configure at least a second network node using the retrieved objects, and report the configuration of the second network node at the control node. A user interface of a first network node can access the objects at the control node. The first network node can apply the accessed objects to configure a second network node using a commissioning tool. The commissioning tool can be activated specifically for certain authorized HVAC personas or roles. The first network node can report the configuring at the control node. The commissioning tool can be voice-enabled to allow a single user to configure the HVAC system via voice commands.

  • Publication number: 20100005004
    Abstract: A preferred method for providing a guarantee for a value of product includes the steps of receiving product information, generating a product value based on the received product information, and providing a guarantee that a user will receive a payment for a product, the payment having a value at least equal to the generated product value. A preferred system for generating a product value includes a user interface adapted and configured to receive product information; a processor coupled to the user interface, wherein the processor is adapted and configured to generate a product value based on the product information received by the user interface; and a payment having a value at least equal to the product value. The system and method are preferably designed for the ecommerce field and, more specifically, for guaranteeing a selling price of a product in the ecommerce field.
