Abstract

According to an aspect of the disclosure, a resource management platform, system and method of communicating resource management information for smart energy and media resources is provided. A resource management platform can include an interface configured to communicate media management information and energy management information. The resource management platform also includes a processor configured to detect an incoming communication to alter an operating condition in response to receiving the media management information or the energy management information. The processor can further be configured to initiate an output of media content in response to detecting media management information, and initiate altering an operating status of a device in response to detecting the energy management information. The processor can also initiate storing at least a portion of the media content and the energy management information within a memory.

Claims

1. A resource management platform comprising:

an interface configured to enable access to a cloud service operable to communicate media management information and energy management information;

a processor configured to detect an incoming communication to alter an operating condition in response to receiving the media management information or the energy management information, the processor further configured to;

initiate an output of media content in response to detecting media management information;

initiate altering an operating status of a resource in response to detecting the energy management information;

store at least a portion of the media content and the energy management information within a memory and

wherein the processor is configured to initiate the output of media content and initiate altering the operating status of the resource in response to the energy management information at the same time.
