  • Publication number: 20240143662
    Abstract: One implementation of the present disclosure is a system including one or more memory devices having instructions stored thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive a selection including a context and a twin function and generate an operation to monitor a graph based on the context, the operation identifying whether one or more new events are added to the graph, the one or more new events affecting a processing result. The instructions cause the one or more processors to cause the twin function to execute responsive to identifying the one or more new events added to the graph that affect the processing result, execute the twin function based on the one or more new events and the context to generate the processing result.

  • Publication number: 20230213909
    Abstract: A method can include activating a building platform chip integrated into a building device of a building and coupled with a processing circuit of the building device. The method can include retrieving, by the building platform chip, first data from the processing circuit of the building device through communication with the processing circuit. The method can include generating, by the building platform chip, second data to cause a digital twin of the building device to be constructed.

  • Publication number: 20220405668
    Abstract: One implementation of the present disclosure is a building system of a building including one or more memory devices having instructions stored thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive a query from a requesting system, the query including one or more query parameters and a context, the context indicating one or more purposes for the query including the one or more query parameters. The instructions cause the one or more processors to retrieve, based on the one or more query parameters, first data of the building system from a data storage system, identify, based on the context, one or more processing operations to perform to generate a processing result with the first data, perform the one or more processing operations with the first data to generate second data, and provide a response to the requesting system with the second data.

  • Patent number: 11145151
    Abstract: An access control system (ACS) for a building includes an access reader, a camera, and an access controller. The access reader is configured to read an access credential provided by a person at an access point and generate ACS data including the access credential. The camera is configured to capture facial recognition system (FRS) data including an image of the person at the access point. The access controller is configured to determine whether the access credential is valid based on the ACS data, determine whether the person is recognized based on the FRS data, grant or deny access to the person through the access point based on whether the access credential is valid and whether the person is recognized, and generate and store one or more of a plurality of access events. Each of the access events corresponds to a different combination of whether the access credential is valid and whether the person is recognized.

  • Patent number: 10134253
    Abstract: Systems (100) and methods (400) for determining a Handheld Reader's (“HR”) location within a facility. The methods involve: performing first operations by HR to read RFID tags having locations within the facility that are unknown to the handheld reader; performing second operations by HR to receive signals from RF Enabled Devices (“RFED”) located at known locations within the facility; and determining HR's location/orientation using RSSI levels or TOF values of signals received from RFEDs, known locations of RFEDs, sensor data, known antenna patterns of RFEDs, a known antenna pattern of HR, and/or (9) information indicating which RFID tags were read by HR and at least one RFED. The first and second operations are performed while HR is being carried by a person throughout the facility.

  • Patent number: 8970376
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for assigning priority to antennae are disclosed. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, reader antennae identify the location of an object by detecting a tag or other identifier associated with each object. Sensors can be provided to provide additional information regarding the environment of the objects or their surroundings. A priority order is assigned to the reader antennae based on the location and other characteristics of the objects and/or their environment. A polling sequence for reading the reader antennae is determined according to the priority order.
