Devices, methods, and systems for navigating an indoor area such as an indoor transit system using a mobile device are described herein. The method may include navigating a network of indoor pathways and a plurality of access points for entering/exiting the indoor pathways. The indoor pathways may be mapped and may include a plurality of beacons distributed at designated locations throughout the indoor pathways. The beacons may be detected using a mobile computing device and an indoor location of the mobile computing device may be determined and depicted on the map of the indoor pathways. The location of the mobile computing device may be used to determine a route from the location of the mobile computing device to a destination in or adjacent the mapped indoor pathways.

Navigating an indoor transit system using a mobile device

Methods and systems for monitoring procedural compliance of staff in a facility. A system may include a plurality of sensors positioned adjacent a hand washing station. Each of the plurality of sensors may be configured to provide a corresponding sensor output signal that is indicative of whether a person is washing their hands at the hand washing station or not. A controller may be configured to fuse the sensor output signals from each of two or more of the plurality of sensors and to determine using the fused sensor output signals whether the person has washed their hands at the hand washing station in compliance with one or more predetermined criteria or not. The controller may be further configured to output a notification when the controller has determined that the person has washed their hands at the hand washing station in compliance with the one or more predetermined criteria.

Methods and systems for improving infection control in a facility

A geo-locked field device that is situated in a non-moving position and is operable as long as its position, including altitude and direction, is unchanged. If the position of the device is changed or disturbed, then the device will become inoperable. If the position is returned to its former position after being disturbed and rendered inoperable, then the device will continue to be inoperable. Providing a special signal to the device may cause it to become operable.

Geo-locked field device

A voice controlled room automation system that includes a speaker device situated in a guest room, a hotel automation controller operatively coupled to one or more components in the guest room, and a web service operatively coupled to the speaker device and the hotel automation controller. The web service is configured to receiving voice commands from the speaker device, process the voice command using speech recognition, interpret the voice command to determine a corresponding command for the hotel automation controller, and transmit the corresponding command to the hotel automation controller. The hotel automation controller is configured to receive the corresponding command from the web service, and to carry out the corresponding command by interacting with one or more of the components in the room. In some cases, the hotel automation controller may be configured to initiate an announcement or query on the speaker device via the web service.

Voice control of an integrated room automation system

Wireless network site survey systems and methods are described herein. One system includes a plurality of wireless nodes placed at a number of locations and a computing device configured to: receive communication metrics, wherein the communication metrics include metrics of communication between the plurality of wireless nodes and between the computing device and each of the plurality of wireless nodes, and generate a node coverage map based on the received communication metrics.

Voice control of integrated room automation system

Methods, devices, and systems for personalizing interaction with a structure are described herein. One method includes determining a comfort preference associated with a user of a mobile device corresponding to a particular location with respect to a structure, storing the comfort preference in a memory, and modifying an operation of at least one device in the structure to provide the comfort preference responsive to a distance between the mobile device and the particular location being less than a particular threshold.

Personalizing interaction with a structure

Generating a three-dimensional model of an industrial plant using an unmanned aerial vehicle is described herein. One method includes capturing, using an unmanned aerial vehicle, a number of visual images of an industrial plant, capturing, using the unmanned aerial vehicle, a number of infrared images of the industrial plant, and forming a three-dimensional model of the industrial plant by combining the number of visual images and the number of infrared images.

Systems, devices, and methods for magnetic fingerprinting for proximity-based systems are described herein. One device includes instructions stored thereon executable by a processor to receive location information associated with a mobile device in a facility, determine that the mobile device is within a particular distance of an area of the facility based on the location information, determine magnetic field information associated with the mobile device, and allow access to the area via a relay associated with the area responsive to a determination that the user is allowed access based on the magnetic field information.

Magnetic fingerprinting for proximity-based systems

A building control system includes a central coordinator and one or more discrete air conditioner controllers configured to communicate with one or more discrete air conditioner units servicing the building. In some instances, a discrete air conditioner controller may be configured to transition between a sleep mode and an active mode. The discrete air conditioner controller may also be configured to transmit over a mesh network in the active mode and to not transmit over the mesh network in the sleep mode. The discrete air conditioner controller may be configured to transition between the sleep mode and the active mode according to a schedule dictated by the central coordinator. Alternatively, or in addition, the discrete air conditioner controller may be configured to transition between the sleep and active modes in accordance with a beacon signal received from the central coordinator.
