Abstract: Methods and environment controller for validating an estimated number of persons present in an area. The controller determines a temperature measurement in the area, a carbon dioxide (CO2) level measurement in the area, a humidity level measurement in the area, and the estimated number of persons present in the area based on data generated by an occupancy sensor. The controller executes a neural network inference engine for generating outputs based on inputs, using a predictive model comprising weights of a neural network. The inputs include the temperature, CO2 level and humidity level measurements, and the estimated number of persons. The outputs include an inferred temperature, an inferred CO2 level, an inferred humidity level, and an inferred number of persons. The controller applies a validation algorithm to the inputs and outputs of the neural network inference engine, to determine if the estimated number of persons is accurate or not.

Abstract: Environment controllers for the configuration and control of a plurality of smart light fixtures. A master environment controller exchange data with a fixture management server and a plurality of slave environment controllers. Each slave environment controller is in charge of controlling a plurality of light fixtures. The master environment controller receives a command targeting a particular light fixture from the fixture management server. The environment controller determines a target slave environment controller in charge of controlling the particular light fixture, among the plurality of slave environment controllers. The master environment controller forwards the received command to the target slave environment controller. The target slave environment controller further transmits the forwarded command to the particular light fixture.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and computer program product for grouping a plurality of interlinked graphical configuration elements (GCEs) into a resulting graphical functional element (GFE). The method and computer program product receive a selection of the plurality of interlinked GCEs to be grouped. The method and computer program product create the resulting GFE by: identifying inputs and outputs of the plurality of GCEs; identifying from the inputs and outputs root inputs and exiting outputs; generating for each root input/exiting output a root input/exiting output graphical representation identifier in the resulting GFE; generating the resulting GFE including the root input/exiting output graphical representation identifiers; graphically linking the root input/exiting output graphical representation identifiers to corresponding GCEs outside of the plurality of interlinked GCEs; and displaying the resulting GFE in replacement of the plurality of interlinked GCEs.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for interconnecting functional graphical elements. The method identifies a first functional graphical element on a display of a computer. The method further identifies at least one second functional graphical element on the display. The method then determines by a processor of the computer that the at least one second functional graphical element has a pre-determined position on the display with respect to the first functional graphical element. The method then functionally connects the at least one second functional graphical element to the first functional graphical element.
