  • Patent number: 11921483
    Abstract: A building management system (BMS) provides feedback to a user via a user interface to assist the user in configuring the BMS. It can be challenging for new or less experienced users to understand all of the actions they are performing when configuring a BMS. The feedback presented via the user interface includes graphical and textual feedback to alert the user of actions performed when applying tags. The feedback identifies one or more missing requirements associated with the tags. The feedback presented via the user interface also includes textual summaries of control sequences configured using the BMS. The textual summaries include descriptions of control sequences and instructions for properly configuring the building equipment.

  • Patent number: 11783223
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure present devices, methods, and computer readable medium for techniques for creating machine learning models. Application developers can select a machine learning template from a plurality of templates appropriate for the type of data used in their application. Templates can include multiple templates for classification of images, text, sound, motion, and tabular data. A graphical user interface allows for intuitive selection of training data, validation data, and integration of the trained model into the application. The techniques further display a numerical score for both the training accuracy and validation accuracy using the test data. The application provides a live mode that allows for execution of the machine learning model on a mobile device to allow for testing the model from data from one or more of the sensors (i.e., camera or microphone) on the mobile device.
