Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for learning equipment schedules based on user occupancy patterns and equipment usage patterns.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

identifying, for each of a plurality of users, a plurality of different respective spaces occupied by the user at different times, wherein the determining is performed by a respective user device of the user;

determining, for each of the plurality of users, first respective times at which the respective user device of the user sends one or more commands to one or more pieces of equipment in one or more of the respective spaces occupied by the user, wherein the determining is performed by the respective user device;

deriving, for each of the plurality of users, a respective schedule of equipment settings based on, at least, the respective first times of the user; and

determining, by the respective user device of a particular user, that the particular user is located in a particular space at a particular time and, responsive to the determining, configuring one or more pieces of equipment in the particular space according to the respective schedule of equipment settings for the particular user.
