Associating information with an asset or a physical space
First Claim
1. A system operative to associate information with an asset or a physical space, comprising:
- a plurality of building control fixtures, one or more of the plurality of building control fixtures comprising;
a sensor unit and an environment controller;
wherein the sensor unit comprises;
a sensor, the sensor operative to generate a sense signal based on at least one of sensed motion or light;
communication circuitry, the communication circuitry operative to maintain a link with a network;
a controller, the controller operative to;
manage communication with the network;
generate environment adjustment control based on at least one of the sense signal and communication from the network; and
whereinthe environment controller is configured to receive the environment adjustment control and operative to adjust an environmental parameter of a structure of the plurality of building control fixtures based on the environment adjustment control;
wherein at least one of an external controller or at least one controller of the plurality of building control fixtures is operative to;
track a location of a first mobile device;
identify the first mobile device being within a threshold distance of a second mobile device or a physical place; and
allow the first mobile device or a user of the first mobile device to receive information associated with the second mobile device or the physical place, or to provide information to be associated with the second mobile device or the physical place upon identifying the first mobile device to be within the threshold distance of the second mobile device or the physical place.

Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, apparatuses and systems for operating a control fixture are disclosed. One method includes generating a sense signal, maintaining a communications link between the control fixture and a network, generating adjustment control based the sense signal or communication from the network, adjusting an environmental parameter of a structure of the control fixture based on the adjustment control, tracking a location of a first mobile device, identifying the first mobile device being within a threshold distance of a second mobile device or a place, and allowing the first mobile device or a user of the first mobile device to receive information associated with the second mobile device or the physical place, or to provide information to be associated with the second mobile device or the physical place upon identifying the first mobile device to be within the threshold distance of the second mobile device or the place.
