  • Publication number: 20260064446
    Abstract: Embodiments provide methods and systems for generating automated video tutorials. The methods and system include receiving, by a processor, a test script document, wherein the test script document includes element identifiers, test steps and test text parsing, by the processor, the test script document to identify the element identifiers, the test steps and the test text and generating, by the processor, a video component based on the identified element identifiers, the identified test steps and the identified test text. The methods and systems further include generating, by the processor, an audio component based on the identified element identifiers, and the identified test text and synchronizing, by the processor, the video component and the audio component based on the identified element identifiers.

  • Publication number: 20250146696
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting an occupancy of a room. The method comprises receiving, from a first door sensor associated with a door of the room, sensor readings indicative of an opening operation of the door. The method comprises determining, based on the sensor readings of the first door sensor, the occupancy status of the room to be a positive status. The method comprises receiving, from a second door sensor, sensor readings indicative of a closing and/or locking operation of the door. The method comprises determining whether the closing and/or locking operation has been performed. The method comprises upon determining that the closing and/or locking operation has been performed, validating the occupancy status of the room to be the positive status; and upon determining that the closing and/or locking operation has not been performed, triggering a supplemental detection process to detect the occupancy of the room.

  • Publication number: 20240418592
    Abstract: A system to detect movement of doors associated with an area of interest (AOI) is disclosed. The system comprises a pressure sensor positioned at a predefined position within the AOI, wherein the pressure sensor is operable to monitor air pressure within the AOI, and a processing device in communication with the pressure sensor. The processing device comprises one or more processors coupled to a memory storing instructions executable by the processors, and configured to monitor, using the pressure sensor, the air pressure within the AOI in real-time, detect and measure a change in the air pressure within the AOI based on the monitored air pressure, and detect opening or closing of one or more doors associated with the AOI based on the measured change in the air pressure within the AOI.

  • Publication number: 20050215237
    Abstract: A method of setting up a remotely controlled wireless thermostat system for regulating heating and cooling a building. A radio equipped pager is connected to the programmable controller of the thermostat and a self test is conducted to determine if the system can successfully communicate with the service providers network at a first low power pager output. If not, the power output of the pager is incrementally increased within an acceptable output power range until such time that successful communication is established with the network. This power setting is placed in memory for use thereafter in communicating with the network.
