  • Publication number: 20240113910
    Abstract: A distributed system of home device controllers can control a set of home devices. A home device controller of the system can determine a set of configurations for a set of home devices being repeatedly configured by a user. The controller can automatically display a selectable feature indicating a suggested scene corresponding to the set of configurations for the set of home devices. The system can receive one or more inputs to select the suggested scene, and based at least in part on the one or more inputs, associate the suggest scene with a set of triggers. In response to detecting the set of triggers, the controller can automatically transmit a set of commands that correspond to the suggested scene to the set of home devices to execute the suggested scene.

  • Publication number: 20240097932
    Abstract: A device controller can communicate with a local network of devices and one or more intermediary devices for transmitting scene commands for implementation of a scene. The device controller may create a mesh bridge with the one or more intermediary devices to establish a communication link with a controlled device and generate and transmit a set of one or more scene commands via the mesh bridge to the controlled device to execute the scene.

  • Publication number: 20230042269
    Abstract: Data processing/GUIs for NFT block chain data to “tell the story” of ownership or highlight “cool” aspects of a computer game-related NFT in simplified way. Machine learning (ML) may be used to boil down the complexity of data to what people need or want to understand. The displayed timeline of ownership as presented in a GUI can be interactive. Types of metadata to encapsulate in the NFT are discussed.

  • Patent number: 5624222
    Abstract: An apparatus (10) and rail system (80) for installing divider wall panels (100) into ceiling rails, is described. The apparatus includes a base (12) which is adapted to be attached to a forklift truck (200). A frame (22) is rotatably mounted on the base and includes vertical members (24) to which are mounted support channels (50) and a holding channel (54). The channels act together along the sides (100C) of the panel to hold the panel in the apparatus. An end channel (60) is connected to one of the support channels and to the holding channel and is mounted to one end (100B) of the panel. The rail system includes an entry rail (82) comprised of rail segments (84 and 86) with a keyway (88) therebetween and a rail key (95). In use, the panel is mounted in the apparatus which is attached to the forklift truck. The channels are tightened around the panel to hold the panel in the apparatus. The forklift truck then lifts the apparatus and the panel.
