Patent number: 12228297Abstract: Techniques for heating and/or cooling a structure including are described. The system may determine that a current indoor temperature is higher than both the current outdoor temperature and the target indoor temperature. Based on the determination, the system (in a cooling mode) may determine that a window opening criteria is met for opening one or more windows. Responsive to determining that the window opening criteria has been met, the system may instruct a window control mechanism to modify a state of the window from (a) a closed position that prevents airflow through the window to (b) an open position that allows for airflow through the window to cool a structure. Similarly, the system in a heating mode may open one or more windows when the current indoor temperature is lower than both the target indoor temperature and the current outdoor temperature.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2023Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Inventor: Varun A. Shah

Patent number: 9699618Abstract: A system and method is described that computes an estimated current location for a client device based on both the detected current location and the predicted current location of the client device. By utilizing the predicted current location, the system and method may account for and compensate for anomalies and inaccuracies in the detected current location. Accordingly, the system and method provides a more accurate estimation for the current location of the client device based on examination of heuristics and a priori environmental data. In particular, the system and method compensates for detected locations that are impossible or improbable based on previous locations of the client device, the layout of the environment in which the client device is traversing, data describing the user of the client device, and/or data describing the client device.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2016Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: Aruba Networks, Inc.Inventors: Abhishek R. Singh, Anant Kumar, Varun A. Shah
