Patent number: 11199823Abstract: Systems and methods for automated management of buildings and rooms employ a common set of components that may be paired together to form a modular room control interface. The components may comprise a base plate and a front plate that are in data communication with each other when connected together. The base plate may include one set of room monitoring and control functions and the front plate may include a different set of room monitoring and control functions. Different combinations of base plates and front plates may then be paired together to achieve a desired functionality in the modular room control interface. Such an arrangement provides a room control interface that can be quickly and easily configured for any number of different room monitoring and control functions as needed.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2017Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: Schneider Electric Buildings, LLCInventors: Michael Morley, Babak Haghayeghi, Simon Lemaire

Patent number: 10573193Abstract: A process for simulating an expert experience comprises playing an expert simulation for a user, where the expert simulation is a processed video with tagged objects and untagged objects. During playback, a user may make an unprompted selection of an object in the video of the expert simulation, and the unprompted selection is received. In response to receiving the unprompted selection from the user, an entry interface for the user to enter in a freeform rationale is provided. After the user enters a freeform rationale through the entry interface, the freeform rationale is received. An expert rationale associated with a tagged object is displayed. Further, a process for creating the expert simulation comprises receiving raw video and superimposing a grid onto the raw video. An author tags objects within the video spatially, temporally, or both. Further, freeform data (e.g., an expert rationale) is associated with the tagged object.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2018Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: SHADOWBOX, LLCInventors: Allan Gary Klein, Helen Altman Klein, Joseph Borders, Michael Morley

Publication number: 20190363933Abstract: A wirelessly configurable and networked system for building automation includes a processor and a radio-frequency (RF) circuit that receives an RF signal using a wireless-communication protocol. The RF circuit includes an antenna. The system for building automation includes a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive role data via the RF circuit, transmit the role data to a parent device, and receive configuration data in response to transmitting the role data. The configuration data is associated with the role data. The system operates based on at least the configuration data.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2019Publication date: November 28, 2019Inventors: Michael Morley, Babak Haghayeghi, Kyle Sweeney

Publication number: 20160098087Abstract: According to various aspects, a gesture recognition system is provided. The gesture recognition system includes a memory storing finger identification information identifying a plurality of fingers of a user and command information associating a command with a finger and action pair, at least one processor coupled to the memory, and a gesture recognition component executable by the at least one processor. The gesture recognition component is configured to receive gesture information from a touch screen including a fingerprint and action information, identify a finger of the plurality of fingers of the user based on the fingerprint and the finger identification information, identify an action performed based on the action information, match the action and the finger with the finger and action pair stored in the memory, and perform the command associated with the finger and action pair.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2014Publication date: April 7, 2016Inventors: Michael Morley, Ramona Eason Hatch, Daniel Christopher Walton, Adam Meran

Patent number: 9256996Abstract: A system and method for training users of an access control system. In particular, the system and method allow for the imposition of “penalties” for improper behavior so as to balance the training of the user with the burden placed on the operators of the system reacting to violations, while allowing the users to accomplish their tasks. The system can also track the location of users or items, determine if a request to pass through a control point is proper based on various factors, and if appropriate, administer a “penalty” based on several contributing factors.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2011Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC BUILDINGS, LLCInventor: Michael Morley

Publication number: 20140333763Abstract: The system and method for an access control system using a smart optical sensor to determine whether or not access to a physical location is required. The smart optical sensor can be a stand-alone unit or as a complement to existing access control systems by providing advanced analytics for determining the direction and/or speed of objects in the vicinity of a physical location. The system then takes appropriate action, which can include automatically unlocking and/or opening a door.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2011Publication date: November 13, 2014Inventors: Glenn Daly, Christopher LaFleur, Thomas Leedberg, Michael Morley

Publication number: 20130099928Abstract: The system and method for detecting duress using a proximity card comprising at least one transponder and a switch. The switch configured to activate with the user's touch. The switch comprising a thermistor, a piezoelectric sensor, an exposed electrode, a capacitive sensor, or the like, which is located on the proximity card. The switch is configured to modify the signal form a first transponder, or activate a second transponder, thereby sending a duress signal. If a duress pattern is recognized, then the system notifies another party of the situation, or sets a system flag.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2011Publication date: April 25, 2013Inventors: Glenn Daly, Michael Morley

Publication number: 20120169458Abstract: A method and system for monitoring access requests for physical access to a location includes a plurality of access control devices for control accessing to specific locations. The system determines if access is authorized based on comparing information associated with the request with a database. Access is granted to a physical location based on the comparison of information. In addition, the system compares an access request to prior access requests. The system determines if the access request is an anomaly from previous requests. If the access request is an anomaly from previous requests, the system notifies an operator that the access request is an anomaly.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2010Publication date: July 5, 2012Applicant: SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC BUILDINGS ABInventors: Richard L.

Publication number: 20070163185Abstract: A structural system comprising the symmetrical interpenetration of an icosahedron and dodecahedron, further articulated to form a rhombic triacontahedron with each rhombus subdivided by two diagonals at its midpoint. The vertices of the original icosahedron and dodecahedron, and the midpoints of the rhombi, are projected such that a single circumscribed sphere would touch or nearly touch all three sets of resulting vertices. This geometry may used to create a hemispheric geodesic dome. Alternatively, this dome may be subdivided along the hemisphere's great circle segments into two half domes or four quarter domes. Rectangular structural elements may be inserted between the half or quarter domes to increase dome area without increasing dome height and to provide other advantages. The basic triangular components of the disclosed structure may be cut with minimal waste from conventional rectangular construction material such as Structural Insulated Panels.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2007Publication date: July 19, 2007Inventors: Michael Morley, David Henderson
