Switch terminal system with spatial relationship information
First Claim
1. An intelligent switch terminal system for controlling a first switch terminal of a building occupied by one or more building occupants, comprising:
- a plurality of one or more switch terminals that creates a building Network System, the intelligent switch terminal system including a plurality of switch terminal parameters for a switch terminal relative to the building, comprising;
a first computer system embedded as part of the first switch terminal of the building at a first location of the building;
a first plurality of sensors embedded as part of the first switch terminal and coupled to the first computer system, at least a portion of the sensors provide signal data to the first computer system and in response the first computer system produces a command or data output as a result of computation occurring locally within the first switch terminal system or another switch terminal system located in the same building and connected to the same building Network System the command or data output includes a building occupants behaviors based on a machine intelligence developed by computational processes executed on the computer embedded to the first switch terminal or another switch terminal system located in the same building and connected to the same network;
in response to a received signal from at least one sensor of the first plurality of sensors the first computer system determines if an action needs to be taken, and in response makes physical changes to a control system of the building to change illumination levels based on results from at least a portion of the plurality of sensors and the first computer system for at least a portion of the building, without any other computer other than the one embedded in the first terminal system or another switch terminal system located in the same building and connected to the same building Network System;
a second switch terminal that includes a second plurality of sensors and a second computer system that are both embedded as part of the second switch terminal the first switch terminal and the second switch terminal interact and coordinate their operations to provide that the second switch terminal supplements building occupant behavior information obtained from the first switch terminal to allow the first and second switch terminals to execute additional capabilities to provide outputs including learned data that is based on a machine intelligence from previous data collected about patterns of a building occupant;
an interface at the first switch terminal configured to receive a command input from a building occupant and serves as a point of interaction between the first computer system and the building occupant, the interface selected from at least one of;
touch, graphics, sound, position, movement, voice, communication, wireless, and radio;
wherein the system is configured to provide information of how at least a portion of the first plurality of sensors relate to the second plurality of sensors, the system configured to provide a prediction of activity by a building occupant and a creation of spatial relations of devices and links between at least of a portion of the switch terminals in one or more spaces or zones of the building, and the links are configured to detect anomalies in at least one of;
sensor outputs of ambient or artificial light, movement by warm bodies, sound utterances by people, electrical properties, and the detection of presence of human beings.

Abstract
A system is provided for controlling a first switch terminal of a building occupied by one or more building occupants. The system includes a plurality of switch terminals at the building. A first computer system is coupled to the first switch terminal or equivalent of the building at a first location of the building. The first computer system runs on at least one platform. A first plurality of sensors is coupled to the first switch terminal and the first computer system. At least a portion of the sensors provide signal data to the first computer system. The first computer system produces a command or data output that relates to at least one of: a command output for a local control system, a command output for a different system, a data output for a different system, a command output for a non-local device or a data output that is a non-local device. A second switch terminal includes a second plurality of sensors coupled to a second computer system. The system is configured to provide information of how at least a portion of the first plurality of sensors relate to the second plurality of sensors.
