Abstract: Data is collected from a set of devices according to a data collection policy. The data is associated with at least one of: device configuration, device state, or device behavior. A norm is established using the collected data. A different data collection policy is established based on the norm. Data is collected from a particular device according to the different data collection policy. The norm is compared to the data collected from the particular device. If there is a deviation beyond a threshold deviation between the norm and the data collected from the particular device, a responsive action is taken.

Abstract: An integrated building and office automation control system and method includes outputting using said GUI a floor map of each of said plurality of interior regions, each said floor map comprising indications of each said avatar representation of each said one or more physical occupants at said on premise location within said floor map, and each of said one or more remote virtual occupants at said virtual location within said floor map, and each of said one or more remote virtual occupants located within said interior region; and generating and outputting a three-dimensional simulated representation of at least one of said interior regions including each said avatar representation of each said one or more physical occupants at said on premise location within said three-dimensional simulated representation, and each of said one or more remote virtual occupants at said virtual location within said three-dimensional simulated representation.

Abstract: Systems and methods of processing a query from a user. A method includes receiving, by a server computer, an initial question from a client computer. The initial question includes a plurality of words and the server computer can identify a set of words in the plurality of words. Then the server computer can determine a list of clarifying questions based on a subset of the set of words. The server computer presents the list of clarifying questions to the client computer and receiving clarifying answers to the clarifying questions. The server computer determines an answer to the initial question and presents the answer to the client computer.
