  • Patent number: 11243502
    Abstract: Sensor information is received. Based at least in part on at least one state detected using the sensor information, an expected value for automatically performing an action associated with a device controlled by a device controller system is evaluated as compared to an expected value for potentially performing, subject to a user interactive qualification, the action associated with the device controlled by the device controller. It is determined that the expected value of automatically performing the action is insufficient to trigger automatically performing the action without being subject to the user interactive qualification. A confirmatory indication is identified. Based at least in part on the confirmatory indication, an instruction is sent to the device to perform the action.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20210160326
    Abstract: Sensor data is received from a physical environment sensor. A component region associated with at least a portion of the sensor data is identified. A physical environment has been defined to include a plurality of component regions. Context information associated with the identified component region is obtained. The context information is utilized in association with a prediction model.

  • Publication number: 20140165061
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of managing resources in a virtual machine environment can include determining a specification of provisioning success corresponding to each of a plurality of jobs in the virtual machine environment, forming a prioritized listing of the plurality of jobs and, responsive to the specification of provisioning success and the prioritized listing, providing a resource specification for each of the plurality of jobs. The providing can include determining a first prediction of resource needs corresponding to each of a first subset of the plurality of jobs and determining a second prediction of resource needs corresponding to a second subset of the plurality of jobs.
