No. 62/059,602 which was filed on Oct. 3, 2014 and which is titled “Method And System For Locating Resources And Communicating Within An Enterprise”, each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
Not application applicable.
The field of the invention is resource tracking and more specifically systems and methods for identifying available resources including, among other things, space, people and equipment associated with an enterprise and obtaining access to those resources.
Years ago, most companies were regional or, where they were national, had one or more offices in each region of the country to service relatively local clients. Employees lived near the facilities they worked in and often had dedicated offices adjacent other employees they routinely worked with and had access to local resources such as conference spaces, video communication systems, printers, etc. One advantage in these cases was that employees became familiar with all available resources within a facility through routine use. Each employee knew office layouts, locations of and affordances in conference spaces, and in many cases even knew general schedules of fellow employees in their facilities (e.g., that staffing meetings were held every Monday morning from 8 AM to 9 AM in conference room AAA).
Another advantage was that the employees could quickly determine availability of resources including conference spaces and other employees. An employee could see if a light or a computer was on in another employee'"'"'s office and determine if the other employee was in a facility that day. An employee could visually determine if a conference space was available.
One other advantage was that teams of people that worked on specific projects were often located in the same facility. Co-location meant that team members were able to see each other routinely and to find other team members in between team conferences to move team tasks along. To this end, with employees co-located, short impromptu meetings when two employees had open space in their schedules could happen naturally. For instance, two employees could bump into each other in a hallway and have a short conference regarding a pressing issue. As another instance, one employee could pop her head into another employee'"'"'s office and, if the other employee was available, could have a short discussion about some topic or could identify a time when the short discussion could occur.
Yet another advantage was that employee'"'"'s could sense availability of other employees based on non-verbal tell tale signs. For instance, if a first employee had her door shut during morning hours, other employees could sense that the first employee was busy during that time even though the first employee'"'"'s schedule may have indicated availability. As another instance, based on personal conversations, employees in one facility may have known well in advance when a first employee from that facility was going to be traveling to a different facility in a different time zone and therefore that the first employee would likely be out of pocket during certain periods of the day due to the time change.
Times have changed and so have the staffing models at many large companies so that now many employees routinely travel among many different facilities nationally and internationally to attend meetings and conferences. Many employees are routinely located in unfamiliar facilities without knowledge about facility layout and affordances, locations of other employees within facilities, or any tools for assessing real time schedules of enterprise resources (e.g., conference or personal spaces, affordances within spaces, other employees, etc.). For example, an employee visiting a large Tokyo facility for the first time would be unfamiliar with locations of conference spaces within the facility as well as options for space that could be used for personal focused work as well as affordances (e.g., video capabilities, printers, etc.) within the spaces. Here, the employee also generally would not be aware of locations of personal offices of other employees within the space or of spaces temporarily (e.g., for a day) used by other specific employees within the space. Even if the employee had a map of different spaces within the facility, the employee would have no way to determine availability of the spaces for personal or group use or the locations of other employees in the facility located outside their assigned personal spaces.
Problems associated with lack of insight into resources and schedules are exacerbated by un-scheduled on the fly changes to resource schedules that are unknown to employees. For instance, a conference space may be claimed for an impromptu 25 minute meeting between two colleagues that unexpectedly bump into each other in a hall way. In this case, the conference space as well as each of the conferencing colleagues are out of pocket during the 25 minute meeting. As another instance, a conference scheduled for 60 minutes including 7 employees may be completed early after 25 minutes so that the space used for the conference as well as the 7 employees are freed up earlier than expected. Here, even if a first employee had access to an electronically maintained schedule of another employee in a conference, the unexpected schedule change would not be detected and an opportunity to communicate or inability to communicate as a function of a schedule change would not be perceived by the first employee.
To support a fluid set of employees within enterprise facilities, enterprises are routinely seeking to provide space optimized for specific uses. For instance, where employees within a facility or a section of a facility routinely engage in focused individual activities, space should be optimized for individual activities and in another section of a facility where employees routinely work in large groups (e.g., 5 or more employees), the space should be optimized to facilitate large group activities. Current systems for identifying optimized employee supporting resources are not very good.
Thus, there is a need for tools that enable employees of an enterprise to identify resources within one or more enterprise facilities as well as affordances associated with those resources and current and future availability of those resources. There is also a need for employees to be able to set notifications for themselves or for other employees to indicate status changes (e.g., a change from available to busy or vice versa) for specific enterprise resources. There is further a need for a system that enables tracking of resource use in a simple and cost effective manner using hardware that already exists for other purposes, especially in facility areas where wireless access points or the like are not provided.
These and other objects, advantages and aspects of the invention will become apparent from the following description. In the description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which there is shown a preferred embodiment of the invention. Such embodiment does not necessarily represent the full scope of the invention and reference is made therefore, to the claims herein for interpreting the scope of the invention.
The various aspects of the subject disclosure are now described with reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals correspond to similar elements throughout the several views. It should be understood, however, that the drawings and detailed description hereafter relating thereto are not intended to limit the claimed subject matter to the particular form disclosed. Rather, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the claimed subject matter.
As used herein, the terms “component,” “system” and the like are intended to refer to a computer-related entity, either hardware, a combination of hardware and software, software, or software in execution. For example, a component may be, but is not limited to being, a process running on a processor, a processor, an object, an executable, a thread of execution, a program, and/or a computer. By way of illustration, both an application running on a computer and the computer can be a component. One or more components may reside within a process and/or thread of execution and a component may be localized on one computer and/or distributed between two or more computers or processors.
The word “exemplary” is used herein to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any aspect or design described herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other aspects or designs.
In the description that follows, various system components and features are described in the context of different embodiments. It should be appreciated that different systems may have different complexities and therefore that some systems may only have a subset of the described components and may only provide a subset of the described features. In addition, while one or another feature may be described in the context of a specific embodiment, any of the features may be used in any of the embodiments.
Furthermore, the disclosed subject matter may be implemented as a system, method, apparatus, or article of manufacture using standard programming and/or engineering techniques to produce software, firmware, hardware, or any combination thereof to control a computer or processor based device to implement aspects detailed herein. The term “article of manufacture” (or alternatively, “computer program product”) as used herein is intended to encompass a computer program accessible from any computer-readable device, carrier, or media. For example, computer readable media can include but are not limited to magnetic storage devices (e.g., hard disk, floppy disk, magnetic strips . . . ), optical disks (e.g., compact disk (CD), digital versatile disk (DVD) . . . ), smart cards, and flash memory devices (e.g., card, stick). Additionally it should be appreciated that a carrier wave can be employed to carry computer-readable electronic data such as those used in transmitting and receiving electronic mail or in accessing a network such as the Internet or a local area network (LAN). Of course, those skilled in the art will recognize many modifications may be made to this configuration without departing from the scope or spirit of the claimed subject matter.
Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference numerals correspond to similar elements throughout the several views and, more specifically, referring to
Herein, an “enterprise” is a business or entity that includes resources including, among other things, conference tables, desks, credenza'"'"'s, stationary or moveable wall structures, doors, video conferencing subassemblies, projectors, printers, computers, etc. In addition, resources may also include employees that work for an enterprise and/or employee time.
In still other cases resources may include non-employee personnel located in or on an enterprise property such as, for instance, third party contractors, customers, clients, service providers, etc. Herein, unless indicated otherwise the term “employee” will be used generally to refer to an actual employee of an enterprise or some other non-employee person that is at least temporarily located on an enterprise property. In at least some embodiments different resource information may be made available to employees and non-employees. For instance, while employees may be able to view locations of all employees and non-employees in an enterprise facility, non-employees may not and may be restricted to identify a subset of available personal and conference spaces reserved for use by visiting non-employees. In other cases non-employees may have the ability to access all resource information that is accessible to employees.
In order to effectively use resources, employees need to know the resources that they have available for use, locations of the resources and, in many cases, whether or not those resources have been prescheduled or are currently occupied and therefore cannot be used during various time periods. The present disclosure describes exemplary systems and processes that may be used to track and report resource locations and use and to enable enterprise employees to access resources efficiently.
Referring still to
Database 14 includes one or more computer readable medium and stores programs run by server 12 as well as data and other information used by server 12 to facilitate programs and methods and data that is generated through use of the programs run by server 12. Types of data stored in database 14 depend on which of several different applications are performed by server 12. For instance, some applications may only be useful for identifying locations of non-human resources (e.g., spaces, video conferencing equipment, etc.), other applications may only be useful for identifying locations of enterprise employees or non-employees, and still other applications may be used to manage all (e.g., human and non-human) resources. Where non-human resource locations are to be reported, in some cases simple descriptions of the resources suitable to distinguish one from others may suffice. In other cases where views of resources are to be provided, 2D or 3D CAD or other resource representations may be stored for generating views of spaces. Where employee locations are tracked, records for each employee may be stored including name, title, an image, etc. In addition, in some cases employee tracking or privacy preferences may be stored such as, for instance, limitations related to which other employees can track an employee'"'"'s location, spaces in which location can and cannot be tracked, time periods during which locations can and cannot be tracked, activities during which locations can and cannot be tracked, etc.
In still other cases, applications may allow employees to view and modify schedules of all or a subset of enterprise resources. Here, for each resource that can be scheduled, either database 14 will store scheduling software and schedule information or server 12 will have access to scheduling applications maintained by another linked server for obtaining schedule information and manipulating resource schedules.
In still other applications it is contemplated that alarms or notifications related to various resource activities, statuses, circumstances, etc., may be rendered by server 12 to enterprise employees. For instance, an employee may want to know when another employee has entered a specific enterprise facility. As another instance, an employee may want to know when a specific conference room becomes available for use. In these and other cases, database 14 may store notification specifications for each resource indicating circumstances to track and other employees to notify. In some cases all of the above applications may be integrated into a single system package in which case relatively complex records for each resource may be stored in database 14. Other types of data required to support applications described hereafter are contemplated.
Workstation 16 is linked to server 12 for accessing output of various of the programs run by server 12 and to allow input for controlling various aspects of the programs. While workstation 16 may be stationary, in some embodiments the work station 16 may be portable and include a laptop, a table type computing device, a smart phone, etc. Server 12 is also linked to various other system components as described in greater detail hereafter.

In at least some embodiments it is contemplated that portable personal computing devices like smart phones, tablet type devices 60 and even laptop computers may be used as the primary interface tools by system administrators and enterprise employees generally for accessing many different types of information related to enterprise resources. Hereinafter, the phrase “portable computing device” will be used to refer to portable computing devices generally.
It is contemplated that a “corporate maps” application may be stored on a device that is accessible via a corporate maps icon. To this end, see
Hereinafter, unless indicated otherwise, an employee using a portable computing device will be referred to as a device 60 user. When icon 162 is selected by a device 60 user, any of several different initial default screen shots of a subset of enterprise resources may be presented. For instance, in at least some embodiments, when icon 162 is selected, a screen shot 164 as shown in
Initially the compass icon 182 is highlighted to indicate that a compass functionality is an initial default function. Compass functionality will, it is believed, be the most routinely used functionality associated with the corporate maps application and therefore the default is to that functionality. An image of a facility map (e.g., a resource representation) is presented in field 159 which shows the location of device 60 at 166 on a graphical top plan view map of at least a portion of a facility in which the employee using device 60 is located along with the current locations of other employees within the facility subspace associated with the map to help a device 60 user locate other employees and spaces. Here, the locations of other persons within the space corresponding to the map are each indicated via a phantom circle 168a, 168b, 168c, etc.
In addition to showing employees within the mapped space near the device user 166, the view 159 also shows other resources including tables, chairs, sofas, printers, video conferencing system, etc. Here, in at least some cases, the virtual view 159 indicates real time locations of other (e.g., non-personnel) resources within the facility spaces. Thus, for instance, if a portable videoconferencing system has been moved from space 20b into second space 20e (see again

In many cases there are spaces within facilities that are poorly served by access points or that are positioned such that signals received at access points are unable to be used to identify device 40 location accurately enough for at least some useful applications contemplated in the present disclosure. For instance, metal and other structures that form facility walls or other affordances may interfere with device 40 signals so that any signal received by an access point from a device 40 would be highly inaccurate.
Where access points are unable to receive particularly accurate signals from devices 40 but where resource locations are desirable, some other system must be used to detect resource locations. Two other data collecting systems are contemplated in this disclosure. A first system includes semi-stationary Ethernet linked data collector subassemblies and a second system includes portable computing devices 60 programmed to collect and report information from devices 40 to server 12.
Regarding the first system,
Referring to
Prior to use, satellites 50a, 50b, etc., are positioned or mounted within a facility space at locations selected to optimally obtain information transmitted by devices 40 within the space via transceivers 88. To this end, in many spaces Ethernet receptacles 54, while present, are often located at relatively low positions (e.g., at the locations of traditional power receptacles) within a space and therefore are often not well positioned for obtaining information transmitted via low energy signals from devices 40 as furniture, wall structures, or the like within a space often blocks a direct transmission path. Satellites 50a and 50b may be mounted at relatively optimal locations within a space for collecting data from devices 40. For instance, first satellite 50a may be mounted to a wall at a relatively high location within a space to have a substantially direct transmission path from many of the devices 40 located within a space and to also have a substantially direct transmission path to a base unit 52 connected at an Ethernet receptacle at a low location. Second satellite 50b may be similarly mounted, albeit at a different position within the space so that different transmission paths from devices 40 are covered within the space. To better enable communications with the base 52, the satellites 50a, 50b, etc., will, in at least some embodiments, transmit signals using higher power than tracking devices 40 so that even if furniture or the like is located within the path between a satellite and a base 52, the signal should be strong enough to be received by the base 52.
To mount a satellite 50a, in at least some embodiments each satellite will include a mounting sub-configuration. For instance, in
Referring again to
In at least some cases it is contemplated that one or the other of the base 52 and a satellite 50a may generate some signal to indicate when a rechargeable battery 84 needs to be recharged. In this regard, for instance, see again
Although not shown, in at least some embodiments the subassembly 49 may include a third or more satellites like 50a and one of the satellites may always be mounted to the base 52 for charging. The satellite mounted to the base 52 may receive transmissions from devices 40 for use by the system while charging. Here, if a remote satellite needs to be charged, the satellite mounted to the base can be swapped with the satellite that needs charging so that all satellites can remain functional at all times. In addition to providing consistent space coverage, having a system where all satellites remain functional all the time means the sensing algorithms for a subassembly 49 can be set once and be generally valid thereafter.
In some cases the subassembly 49 may cooperate to help an installer place the satellites 50a and 50b in locations where signals therefrom are receivable by the base 52. To this end, for instance, during an installation process, with base 52 connected to an Ethernet receptacle for power and with a satellite 50a fully charged, device 50a may transmit a periodic heartbeat signal to base 52. Satellite 50a can be mounted in a desired location within a space. Here, if satellite 50a is mounted in a location at which sufficiently strong signals from the satellite 50a cannot reach the base 52, the base will miss heartbeat signals from satellite 50a and can generate a chirp (or the satellite 50a can generate a chirp) sound to indicate that the mounting location is not suitable. If the chirp sound is generated, the installer can change the mounting position of the satellite until the chirping sound ceases. Thus, an installer can apply personal knowledge about a facility space to optimally position satellites for receiving device 40 signals while being guided by the base to select only locations that will work well given the mounting location of the base 52.
In cases where collector subassemblies 49 are employed, locations of the satellites 50a, 50b, etc., within a facility need to be added to the maps stored in database 16 either manually or in some automatic fashion. Manual indication may be facilitated by accessing a facility map via workstation 16 and indicating the locations of satellites 50a, 50b, etc., on the map and entering satellite unique identifiers for each indicated location. An automatic determination of satellite locations is described hereafter.
Once locations of satellites 50a, 50b are known, in at least some cases, triangulation methods may be used to determine locations of tracking devices 40 within a space. In other cases signal strength from devices 40 may be so low that only satellites 50 within a space associated with one of the devices 40 will be able to receive a signal there from. Here, locations of devices 40 will be identifiable at at least a room or separate space level.
While the system described with respect to
Regarding the second system type that includes portable computing devices 60 programmed to collect and report information from devices 40, it has been recognized that many enterprise employees use devices 60 for work and even for personal communication that have the capability to collect, retransmit and even analyze information obtained or generated by devices 40. To this end, many people now routinely use electronic devices like smart phones, tablet type devices and even laptops that are essentially always on and that include transceivers that can obtain information transmitted by devices 40 when in the general vicinity of those devices 40.
In at least some embodiments it is contemplated that portable computing devices 60 may be used to automatically obtain information from devices 40 when in an area associated with the devices 40. For instance, when device 60 is proximate device 40a in space 20b in
In at least some other cases, when information is obtained by device 60 from devices 40, the obtained information may be wirelessly passed on to server 12 either immediately if device 60 is capable of broadcasting to an access point 38 or at some subsequent time when device 60 is within a receiving range of one of the access points or a satellite 50a, 50b, etc. Where information is transmitted to an access point or satellite subsequent to collection, device 60 may store the information received from devices 40 until subsequent transmission occurs. Thus, movement of resources associated with devices 40 that are remotely located from wireless access points can be detected, stored and used to drive applications run by server 12. This type of sporadic data collection from devices 40 is particularly useful in applications that do not require a complete or immediate history of resource use or states.
In cases where collector subassemblies 49 are employed, locations of satellites 50a, 50b may be automatically determined in several ways. For instance, where a base 52 associated with a satellite 50a is linked to a specific Ethernet receptacle and the location of the receptacle is known to be within a specific facility space, it may be assumed that the satellite 50a associated with the base is in the same facility space (e.g., the same conference room). In other cases, where locations of Ethernet receptacles 54 are known and signals generated by a satellite 50a are received by more than one Ethernet linked base 52, signal strengths of the signals received by several bases 52 may be used to determine the location of the satellite 50a via triangulation or some type of statistical analysis of the signals received and the locations of the receptacles 54.
In still other cases where employees use portable electronic devices 60 within a facility, devices 60 may be programmed to collect information from satellites 50a, 50b, etc., within their vicinity and to perform a location determining program to identify locations of the satellites. Here, each device 60 would have to be able to determine its own location based on communication with access points or other signal generators (e.g., base 52 that can transmit signals from known locations of receptacles 54) or with other satellites 50a that have known locations. Then, each device 60 may run a program to assess the locations of other satellites based on signal strengths of signals received from the satellites and its own location.
The location determining process may be repeated each time a device 60 is near a satellite 50a and satellite location may routinely be rendered more precise over time. For instance, where a device 60 is initially within a space including a satellite 50a but is not near the satellite (e.g., is on the other side of a conference room), the system may only be able to accurately determine that the satellite 50a is located within one half of the space but no more. A next time a device 60 is in the space, the device may be located relatively closer to the satellite and the signals from the satellite 50a may be relatively strong. Here, the stronger signal may be useable to more precisely identify the location of the satellite. The strengths of multiple sequential signals received by one or more devices 60 may be used to triangulate and further refine the location of a satellite 50a. Here, for instance, where eight devices 60 are located within a space and their positions are known, signal strength of signals from a satellite 50a received by the eight devices 60 may be used in a triangulation process. In a similar fashion where a single device 60 is moved within a space to eight different locations over time, signal strengths associated with the eight different locations may be used to triangulate the location of the satellite.

In many cases a set of enterprise employees will not use portable computing devices 60 or may not have their portable devices turned on at some times. In these cases, other devices may be required to track employee locations. For instance, referring again to
In at least some embodiments of the present disclosure it is also contemplated that each or at least a subset of tracking devices 40 may be programmed to sense other information that may be useful for driving different system applications. For instance, in cases where at least some employees do not use trackable devices (e.g., portable electronic devices or trackable badges) or where an enterprise does not include systems for tracking employee locations, it may still be useful to know if and when spaces within a facility are utilized. For example, a facility manager may want to know how often and for how long specific spaces are utilized, how many employees utilize the spaces, etc. As another example, an employee searching for an unoccupied space for use may want to access a list of available and unoccupied conference spaces.
According to at least one aspect of some embodiments of the present disclosure, each device 40 may also include one or more sensors that can be used to sense state for status changes associated with resources or the environments in which those resources are deployed. For instance, referring again to
Temperature sensor 64 may measure temperature within a space (e.g., 20b) or may be positioned to detect temperature change on the surface of a chair seat or backrest member. When a person enters a space the temperature of the space will often change as the person'"'"'s body heat dissipates within the space. When a person sits on a chair and contacts a chair surface, the temperature of the surface typically changes and can be sensed by a temperature sensor mounted to the chair.
Sound sensor 66 may include a microphone for detecting sound within a space proximate the device 40. The sound sensor may be tunes to the pitch and tone range of typical human voices so as to be able to distinguish human voices from other sounds.
Other sensor types are contemplated and sensor N may include, for instance, a carbon dioxide sensor to detect the level of carbon dioxide within a space, one or more pressure sensors, position sensors, etc. Here, when people enter a space, the amount of carbon dioxide typically increases and therefore a change in carbon dioxide level within a space may, in at least some cases, be used to sense use of a space by one or more people. A pressure sensor may be used to sense when a person sits within a specific seat. Each sensor is linked to processor 59 and provides information to processor 59 related to the sensed parameter.
Processor 59 is programmed to either report the sensed parameter values to server 12 or, in some cases, to analyze the sensed parameter values and report some result associated with the analyzed values. For instance, in some cases processor 59 may simply recognize when a chair (e.g., a resource) moves via a motion sensor and may report the period since the most recently detected motion to server 12. In this case, server 12 would be programmed to use the received data to determine if a space associated with the resource is occupied. For instance, one simple rule may be that if a chair moved in the last 20 seconds within a conference room, that the conference room is presumed to be occupied. In this case, if any of ten chairs within a conference space moved in the last 20 seconds, occupancy may be presumed. Where duration since last movement is provided to server 12, a single received signal may be used to identify occupancy without requiring any historical data about previous locations of resources, previous movements, etc.
Another rule may be that at least one chair must move within a space and at least one sound that is consistent with the range of a human voice needs to be detected and reported to server 12 within some threshold period for the server 12 to determine that the related space is occupied. Many other more complex rules are contemplated.
In another case processor 59 may maintain several separate rolling state change event time buckets or counters where state changes that occur in a specific time period associated with a bucket are counted. For instance, in one case a processor 59 may maintain short, intermediate and long term counts corresponding to one minute, one hour, and six hour periods. When a state change occurs, the device processor may add a count to each of the counts to maintain rolling one minute, one hour and six hour counts. The three counts may be transmitted periodically to server 12. Where the counts reflect substantially the same rate of state changes over all periods tracked, server 12 may be programmed to determine that the sensed state changes are associated with ambient noise in an associated space. However, where the counts reflect an increase in state rate changes in the short and/or intermediate duration buckets, server 12 may be programmed to determine that the sensed state change(s) is associated with true movement or some other parameter associated with occupancy of a space.
In still other cases server 12 may be programmed to use sensed state changes from multiple sensor devices 40 within a space to discern whether or not some condition (e.g., occupancy) occurs within a space. For instance, where substantially similar movements are sensed by each of ten sensor devices 40 on ten chairs within a space, server 12 may be programmed to determine that the similar movements are attributable to noise as opposed to individual movements of chairs and therefore to determine that an associated space is unoccupied. Many other occupancy determining protocols are contemplated. In addition, many other protocols for detecting other activities or conditions (e.g., other than occupancy) using data from sensor devices 40 are contemplated.
In at least some embodiments each device 40 cobbles together device identifying information as well as state conditions into data packets that are transmitted to server 12 via data collectors. Thus, for instance, a low energy Bluetooth data packet including device identifying information and state conditions may be transmitted periodically by each device 40. In other cases data packets may only be transmitted when a change in a sensed state is detected by a device 40. For instance, in a case where occupancy is assumed when a chair is moved within a space, device 40 may only transmit a packet once movement is detected so that satellite battery power can be conserved.
To generate dynamic virtual views of resources within facility spaces as those resources are moved within the spaces, in at least some embodiments, server 12 may have access to 2D and 3D CAD renderings of each resource used within facility spaces. For instance, in at least some cases, a 3D view of a space may be generated for use by an enterprise employee that wants to obtain a general understanding of resources within and the layout of a space prior to use. Referring to
In some cases detail within a virtual space view will be relatively granular in the sense that resources within a space may be represented generally without showing exact real life orientations and juxtapositions of the resources within the space. For instance, where a conference table and ten chairs of a specific type are located within a space to be shown in a view, the chairs may simply be virtually represented in an equispaced and aligned pattern about a conference table without showing actual locations of the chairs, orientations of the chairs, etc. Thus, a chair that is spaced from a conference table by eight feet in reality may be shown adjacent the table edge. These general virtual images may be required where only general resource location information (e.g., which space a chair is located in) can be obtained due to sensing and processing limitations.
In other cases it is contemplated that resource state information that is sensed and collected may be much more detailed including not just which space a resource is located in but also precise location within a space, precise orientation (e.g., facing the edge of a table, facing a wall, etc.). Where more detailed information is available, that information may be used by server 12 to generate a more accurate virtual view of a space by, for instance, showing precise locations of resources within a space as well as relative juxtapositions of resources. To this end, see the exemplary image 134 in
Referring to
At block 106 tracking devices 40 are associated with each resource to be tracked within an enterprise facility. Here, association includes both physical association (e.g., attachment to a chair) and virtual by correlation of a resource identity to a unique resource identifier in database 14.
At block 108, resource characteristics are sensed by devices 40. Here, it is assumed that the virtual views to be generated will include precise location and orientation of resources. Because the application is simply for generating virtual space views, the data required to drive the application is only presence, location and orientation information indicating specific locations of resources in spaces as well as orientations (e.g., no occupancy data or data that can be used to determine occupancy state) is required in this application). At block 110, devices 40 transmits data packets including resource ID, location and orientation data. At block 112 one or more data collectors 38, 49, 60 in the vicinity of a transmitting device 40 receives the transmitted data packets and provides the received packets to server 12.
At block 114, the received packets are analyzed by server 12 to identify each resource (e.g., via the device 40 identifier), resource location and orientation. At block 116, server 12 accesses the 2D and 3D resource renderings 132 and 130, respectively, in database 14 and at block 118, server 12 uses the renderings to generate 2D and 3D views. At block 120 the views are stored for subsequent use.
Although not illustrated in detail, other data for supporting other applications may be generating using a process similar to that shown in
Other circumstances in addition to occupancy maybe detected using information sensed via devices 40. For instance, the number of employees using a space may be determined by sensing movement of a subset of chairs within the space. For example, where five out of twelve chairs move routinely during a one hour meeting in a conference room, server 12 may be programmed to determine that five employees attended the meeting. Discerning other circumstances based on sensed data is contemplated.
Referring to
At block 142, a portable computing device 60 is used to generate a request that is received by server 12. At block 144, server 12 identifies the request criteria including, for instance, location (e.g., selected by an employee or automatically determined as a function of location of a device 60) of the space for which the request has been generated, query content (e.g., 3D view, 2D view, current occupancy, etc.) etc. At block 146, server 12 uses the request criteria to identify information to present and generates a view that is most consistent with the request criteria. The generated view is transmitted at 148 to the requesting computing device 60 and at block 150, the requesting device 60 displays the generated view on the device display.

Thus, the access points 38, collector subassemblies 49, portable devices 60 and tracking devices 40 together may form a web for collecting signals useable by server 12 to determine locations and other characteristics of enterprise resources using one or a plurality of different algorithms.

When employees use a resource, often times the employee develops an impression of the resource that she would like to share with others such as, for instance, a facility administrator, other employees, etc. For instance, an employee may have determined that a specific space with specific affordances was particularly attractive or useful and may want to issue a review of the space including an image(s) and comments. To this end, referring to

In still other cases a combination of appointments entered into an electronic scheduling program and real time sensing of employee activities may be used to determine if an employee is available or busy or has some other status. For instance, where Jill has a scheduled meeting in 45 minutes (e.g., a meeting on an electronic schedule) and is travelling toward a conference room that is 30 minutes away (sensed real time conditions), server 12 may be programmed to detect that Jill is busy and should not be disturbed. Many other rules for automatically determining current employee status are contemplated. Other statuses and related indicators are also contemplated such as “Sleep”, ‘Vacation”, etc.
Referring yet again to
Other initial or default corporate map screens are contemplated. For example, in many cases an employee may routinely work or socialize with a subset of enterprise employees on a team and the employee may desire to receive information related to each team member when the corporate maps application is first accessed. Hereinafter, the list of employees on a team will be referred to generally as a “favorites list” and the employees on the list will be referred to as “favorites”.
Referring to
Locations of remote employees are determined by systems in occupied facilities as described above and are provided to server 12. In some cases employee locations outside enterprise facilities may also be tracked using GPS or some other type of system and those locations may be used by server 12 to drive one or more applications along with facility location information for other employees.
Even inside a facility space, in some cases, a GPS system may be able to provide somewhat accurate position information for a portable user computing device. In this case, information from an external GPS system may be combined with signals from a transmitting device within a facility to more accurately determine location of the transmitting device. Many different algorithms for combining GPS and facility sensed information from stationary sensors as well as portable computing devices that obtain information from transmitting devices are contemplated.
In still other cases other systems that can indicate locations of persons outside facilities with sensing devices may be used to determine employee and other locations. For instance, where an employee is scheduled to be on a flight from Europe to the United States, a plane tracking system that identifies the location of the flight over the Ocean may be used to determine the location of the employee on the flight.
As shown, in at least some embodiments the remote view will be at least somewhat transparent so that the device 60 user can see therethrough to perceive underlying aspects of the graphical local facility map view. For instance, space defining walls, chairs, tables, etc., as well as phantom circles showing other employees may be observable under the remote view frame. Where remote favorites are represented in the remote view space 360, they may be located at locations where minimal or relatively unimportant information is represented in the underlying facility map view. For instance, remote favorites representations may, where possible, be placed in space 360 at locations where they do not overlap phantom circle representations of other employees. Remote employee representations may be presented at locations in space 360 that show employee locations relative to the graphical map view presented. Thus, in
In at least some cases the portion of the facility map view represented in

For remote employees identified in the frame 360, in addition to name and status indications, location and time indicators are presented to help the device 60 user have some context in which to consider the favorite'"'"'s current status. For instance, for Jill, the location and time indicators at 334 and 336 indicate that she is in Paris and that the local time is 5 PM while for Ralph the indicators at 344 and 346 indicate that he is in Grand Rapids and that the current time is 1 PM. Although not shown, other information about employees may be presented such as, for instance, additional information about their environments. For example, the current weather in Paris may be indicated and spatially associated with Jill or Jill'"'"'s general availability or lack thereof during the next eight hours may be indicated (e.g., “Available next from 10 AM to 11 AM your time”).
