The computing cloud also comprises a system project application module that is configured to allow a user to graphically explore at least the project data, and to control graphical access to one or more application modules based on a user's credentials. The one or more application modules comprise a module that is configured to graphically facilitate the user's creation and manipulation of a virtual model of a physical environment.

Computing cloud for monitoring physical environments

The invention relates to a system and methods for providing conditional access to indoor location information in a system comprising a mobile device (), a positioning webservice () and an authorization authority (), the method comprising: the mobile device () performing the steps of: transmitting license information to the authorization authority () and transmitting a request for indoor location information to the positioning webservice, the request comprising a request-location-estimate corresponding to a location estimate of the mobile device () at the time of making the request, the authorization authority () performing the steps of: receiving the license information, verifying whether the license information authorizes access to indoor location information by the mobile device (), issuing a secure proof, verifiable by the positioning webservice () upon successful verification, the secure proof indicating that the license information authorizes access to indoor location information by the mobile device () for an authorized region; the positioning webservice () performing the steps of: receiving the request for indoor location information and the secure proof; verifying whether the secure proof authorizes the transmission of indoor location information to the mobile device () for the request-location-estimate; and upon successful verification sending indoor location information for the request-location-estimate to the mobile device ().

Methods and systems for providing conditional access to indoor location information

Disclosed are systems and methods for authenticating a wireless module. A method comprises the steps of: (i) generating (), by the wireless module (A), a first encryption value, and retrieving a unique identifier of the wireless module from memory; (ii) verifying (), by the wireless module, the generated first encryption value and retrieved unique identifier; (iii) sending (), by the wireless module, the retrieved unique identifier and a second encryption value to the gateway (A); (iv) verifying (), by the gateway, the received unique identifier and second encryption value, wherein verifying the second encryption value authenticates the wireless module; (v) sending (), by the gateway, a third encryption value to the wireless module; and (vi) verifying (), by the wireless module, the received third encryption value, wherein verifying the third encryption value authenticates the gateway.

Systems and methods for authenticating wireless modules

Disclosed are systems and methods for cloud-based monitoring and control of physical environments. A system comprises a computing cloud with at least one processor configured to execute one or more application modules and a data analytics module for analyzing diagnostic and environmental metric data. The system further comprises a building server communicatively coupled with the computing cloud, at least one gateway communicatively coupled with the building server, and at least one system device communicatively coupled with the at least one gateway. The at least one system device generates environmental metric data for further analysis and display, and the data is communicated to the computing cloud by way of the at least one gateway and the at least one building server.

System and methods for cloud-based monitoring and control of physical environments

Disclosed are systems and methods for adjusting environmental conditions based on automatically and manually generated requests. A commissioned unit comprising at least one IP luminaire (), transmits a signal comprising one or more identification codes. The signal may be, for example, a coded light signal. An environment control device () receives the signal, detects user input indicating one or more preferred environmental conditions, and transmits an environment control request comprising the one or more preferred environmental conditions. An environment manager module () receives the environment control request, generates an environment control command using the control request, and transmits the environment control command to one or more commissioned units to alter environmental conditions in a space in accordance with the user input.

Systems and methods for managing environmental conditions

Some embodiments are directed to an occupancy sensor calibration device () arranged to repeatedly detect an occupancy in vision data and a concurrent occupancy detection in the occupancy data, determine a location of the detected occupancy in the vision data, and store the location as part of the occupancy sensing region.

Occupancy sensor calibration and occupancy estimation

Disclosed are systems and methods for commissioning, localizing, and re-localizing a system device used for monitoring physical environments. A disclosed system for localizing a system device comprises a computing cloud, a building server, and a gateway. The computing cloud comprises various application modules, including an application module for receiving a user's selection of the system device on a portable electronic device, a project service module for receiving and transmitting a request to open a wireless network of a gateway, and a plugin module for receiving an enhanced request to open a wireless network of a gateway, and for transmitting a request to open a specific type of wireless network at the gateway. The building server is communicatively coupled with the computing cloud, the gateway is communicatively coupled with the building server, and the system device is communicatively coupled with the gateway.

Systems and methods for commissioning and localizing devices used for cloud-based monitoring and control of physical environments

Disclosed are systems and methods for cloud-based monitoring and control of physical environments. In various embodiments, a computing device () seeking to verify credentials of a lighting system controller () may obtain unverified credentials of the lighting system controller. The computing device may transmit, to a first remote device via a first network communication channel, a request to verify the unverified credentials. The computing device may receive verification from the first remote device or a second remote device via a second network communication channel. The second network communication channel may be different than the first network communication channel. The computing device may compare the unverified credentials to the verification data and verify, based on the comparing, that the unverified credentials are legitimate. Based on the verification, the computing device may establish a lighting information communication channel between the computing device and the lighting system controller.

Systems and methods for verifying credentials

Disclosed are systems and methods for updating a system device in a cloud-based system for monitoring and controlling physical environments. A system comprises a computing cloud with a project service module for responding to requests to access project data, an update module for providing access to data associated with a project hierarchy, and an images repository module for providing data identifying the location of update data. The system also comprises a building server communicatively coupled with the computing cloud, a gateway communicatively coupled with the building server and associated with the system device in need of an update.
