Patent number: 12664327Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for intelligent planning, monitoring, and management of building construction or maintenance projects using Agentic artificial intelligence (AI). A controller operating an AI agent receives a design plan including a spatial layout and building elements, and converts it into a dynamic interactive model comprising interactive components. The AI agent receives contextual data from sources such as IoT devices, BMS systems, user locations, weather services, vendor databases, and calendars. An interactive user interface is generated for user interaction via verbal, textual, or gestural input. Using multi-modal input correlation and natural language processing, the AI agent interprets user intent and autonomously initiates actions including task scheduling, material procurement, and device control. The AI agent may coordinate with sub-agents on other user devices for collaborative management.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2025Date of Patent: June 23, 2026Assignee: Togal.Al Inc.Inventors: Patrick E Murphy, Johnny Maghzal, Thomas Patrick Murphy

Patent number: 12578693Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for automated building maintenance management using a digital representation of a physical building. A controller, operating an AI engine one or both of a GAN engine and a ViT, receives a design plan comprising dynamic components representing as-built building elements. Metadata, including historical maintenance logs, component specifications from a component database, sensor data from a Building Management System (BMS), and environmental conditions, is associated with the dynamic components. The controller detects maintenance requirements for the dynamic components based on sensor anomalies, historical failure patterns, metadata, and user inputs, determines interrelations between the dynamic components, and assigns priority levels to the maintenance tasks. A maintenance execution plan is generated, incorporating task prioritization, labor allocation, material requirements, and execution timelines.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2025Date of Patent: March 17, 2026Assignee: Togal.AI, Inc.Inventors: Patrick E Murphy, Johnny Maghzal, Patrick Hughes, Thomas Patrick Murphy

Publication number: 20210241303Abstract: Systems and methods to manage incentive campaigns and automatically approve requests for incentives received from consumers or their proxy based on dynamic parameters defined by an incentive provider are described herein. Users at various levels between an original equipment manufacturer and the consumer may interact and offer input. In various implementations, campaign parameters may be received from an incentive provider and used to initiate and/or otherwise administrate a campaign. Incentive providers may then dynamically modify ongoing campaigns via the system. One or more user interfaces may be generated through which users may interact with the system and visualizations related to a campaign may be presented. Based on the initial or modified parameters for a campaign, the systems and methods described herein may further determine whether to approve, deny, or otherwise respond to requests for incentives received from consumers or their proxy.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2021Publication date: August 5, 2021Applicant: Scilicet, LLCInventor: Thomas Patrick MURPHY

Patent number: 9740356Abstract: A capacitive touch system including a drive end, a capacitive sensing matrix and a detection end is provided. The drive end concurrently inputs encoded and modulated drive signals into a plurality of channels of the capacitive sensing matrix within each drive time slot of a frame. The detection end detects a detection matrix of the channels in the frame and decodes the detection matrix to respectively generate a two-dimensional detection vector corresponding to each of the channels. The detection end further calculates a subtraction between components of the two-dimensional detection vectors associated with two receiving electrodes of the capacitive sensing matrix to eliminate interference from noises.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2016Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: PixArt Imaging Inc.Inventors: Hsin-Chia Chen, Kenneth Crandall, Thomas Patrick Murphy

Patent number: 6096096Abstract: A method and system for emulating on-line accessing of information in an off-line environment. In one embodiment, information initially configured to be displayed via an on-line connection is stored onto a plurality of portable storage media. The portable storage media is adapted to be used by an end-user in an off-line environment. Moreover, in the present embodiment, the information is arranged on the plurality of storage media such that off-line accessing of the information emulates on-line accessing of the information. That is, in the present invention, information is presented to an off-line end-user in a manner which emulates the manner in which the same information would have been presented to the end-user in an on-line environment. In one embodiment, the present invention stores Web site information onto the plurality of portable storage media.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 1996Date of Patent: August 1, 2000Assignee: Silicon Graphics, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Patrick Murphy, David Thompson Ratcliffe, Andrew J.
