Abstract: There is described a zone controller and method for identifying a root cause failure at a zone. The zone controller determines whether a temperature measurement deviates from a temperature setpoint of the temperature sensor, and generates a first repair code, a second repair code, and/or a third repair code. The first repair code replaces a temperature sensor in response to detecting that a reading of the temperature sensor has failed. The second repair code releases an operator override on the reading of the temperature sensor in response to detecting that the reading of the temperature sensor has been overridden. The third repair code releases an operator override on a setpoint of the temperature sensor in response to detecting that the setpoint of the temperature sensor is outside the predetermined setpoint range. One or more of these repair codes are provided to a remote device.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for allowing a wireless communication device operator to control aspects of a multi-player game are described. In one embodiment, a server sends a signal to a plurality of wireless communication devices indicating an availability of an exclusive privilege for one of the wireless communication device operators to exclusively control one or more aspects of the multi-player game. Next, a request is received from a first wireless communication device for a first wireless communication device operator to receive the exclusive privilege. Then, the server determines whether another wireless communication device operator has already been assigned the exclusive privilege to play the multi-player game; if not, the exclusive privilege is assigned to the first wireless communication device. Finally, the server sends a confirmation to the first wireless communication device indicating that the first wireless communication device operator has been granted the exclusive privilege.
