Publication number: 20260094127Abstract: A system reserves and provides a user with a workspace that includes a workspace device. A panel includes, and controls, a display. A portal controls operation of the workspace and panel. The portal receives a user request to reserve a workspace for a predetermined period, reserves the workspace based on the user request, including generating a two-dimensional barcode unique to the reserved workspace and that reservation, and transmits the 2D code to the panel for presentation on the display. The portal transmits information about the reserved workspace to a user device, receives from the user device data generated from a scan of the 2D code presented on the display, and in response to receiving the scanned data, activates the reserved workspace and the workspace device. The user is thereby supplied with the reserved workspace by merely providing the user request and then scanning the 2D code using the user device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2025Publication date: April 2, 2026Applicant: CRESTRON ELECTRONICS, INC.Inventors: Robert Bach, Mark Slivovsky, William Braaf

Publication number: 20260037929Abstract: A system reserves and provides a user with a personalized workspace from at least one workspace having at least one workspace device connected to at least one power port and at least one data port of at least one docking station. A portal controls operation and configuration of the workspace, docking station, and panel. The portal receives a user-initiated request to reserve the workspace for a predetermined period and specifying one or more workspace devices required by the user. The portal generates a 2D code, transmits the 2D code to the panel, and transmits information to a user device. The portal receives, from the user device, data generated by the user device from a scan of the 2D code on the display, and in response, checks in the user into the workspace, and activates and configures the docking station according to the user request.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2025Publication date: February 5, 2026Applicant: CRESTRON ELECTRONICS, INC.Inventors: Robert Bach, Mark Slivovsky, William Braaf

Publication number: 20240320695Abstract: A system that comprises retrieving a plurality of factors from a real estate database. Each of the plurality of factors affect a momentum of a real estate market. A statistical model is applied to determine a set of factors that provide a greatest influence on an industrial momentum index. The set of factors are inputted into a formula in order to generate the industrial momentum index. The industrial momentum index is used to predict future real estate activities.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2024Publication date: September 26, 2024Inventor: Robert Bach

Publication number: 20240177117Abstract: Badge data is read by a local workspace access system associated with a local workspace. An organization associated with the badge data is located, and the badge data is transmitted to the organization. A server associated with the organization receives the badge data, locates a member of the organization associated with the badge data, and transmits the workspace configuration associated with the member. A keyable code is transmitted to a messaging service device of the member, and the keyable code and the workspace configuration are transmitted to the local workspace access system. Member input of the keyable code is received by the local workspace access system which verifies that the inputted keyable code matches the keyable code received. In response to the verification, the workspace configuration is requested and received, the local workspace is configured based on the received workspace configuration and is activated for use by the member.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2024Publication date: May 30, 2024Applicant: Crestron Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Robert Bach, Mark Slivovsky, Philip Kirkpatrick

Patent number: 11941585Abstract: A local workspace access system is associated with a local workspace, reads badge data, and transmits the badge data. A workspace personalization management system receives the badge data, locates an organization associated with the badge data, and transmits the badge data to its associated organization. A server associated with the organization receives the badge data, locates a member of the organization who is associated with the badge data, and transmits the workspace configuration associated with the member to the workspace personalization management system. The workspace personalization management system transmits a keyable code to a messaging service device of the member and transmits the keyable code and the workspace configuration associated with the member to the local workspace access system.
