Appl. No.:

17/223838

Matthew Evan Vogel - Seattle WA, US

International Classification:

G06T 17/05
G06K 9/00
G06T 11/20
H04L 12/24

Abstract:

A map file includes two-dimensional or three-dimensional geometric data items collectively representing layout of a building. The map file and parsed and the geometric data items analyzed to identify building elements including rooms, floors, and objects of the building, and to identify containment relationships between the elements. A space model having a space graph is constructed. The space graph includes nodes that correspond to the respective building elements and links forming relationships between nodes that correspond to the identified containment relationships. Each node may include node metadata, rules or code that operate on the metadata, and a node type that corresponds to a type of physical space. Some nodes may include user representations or device representations that represent physical sensors associated therewith. The representations may receive data from the respectively represented sensors, and the sensor data becomes available via the space model.

Abstract:

A method is disclosed for generating a digital twin of a physical environment. Depth data for the physical environment is received from a depth sensing device. A three-dimensional map of the physical environment is then generated based at least on the received depth data, and a digital twin of the physical environment is then generated based on the generated three-dimensional map. Information is received regarding the location of one or more networked devices within the generated three-dimensional map. Each of the one or more networked devices is associated with a digital twin of the networked device. Coordinate locations are established in the generated three-dimensional map for each networked device. Each established coordinate location is associated with a device identity.

H04W 4/38

Abstract:

Generating a map based on nodes of a hierarchical graph that defines a topology of a physical space and is configured to provide access to sensor data from devices within the physical space includes accessing the hierarchical graph. The hierarchical graph comprises a plurality of nodes, including a top node for the physical space and a plurality of other nodes coupled to the top node. One of the plurality of nodes comprises an area node that represents an area within the physical space. One of the plurality of nodes also comprises a device node representing a device located within the physical space and a user node. Map data corresponding to a particular node is generated. The generated map data is associated with generating at least a portion of a map corresponding to the particular node. The generated map data corresponding to the particular node is stored within the hierarchical graph.

International Classification:

H04L 12/24

H04L 29/08

Abstract:

A network-connected service coupled to a network-connected device such as an IoT device implements a communication agent for a communication service that is separate from the network-connected service and that is implemented on the network-connected service to allow the network-connected device to establish communication sessions with other devices, not connected to the network-connected service. The communication agent may a component of a software development kit (SDK). The network-connected service receives an offer from the network-connected device and uses the communication agent to translate the offer into an compatible with the communication service. The communication agent sends the translated offer to the communication service with connection information sufficient to set up the session. The communication agent receives an offer answer from the second device and sends the offer answer to the network-connected device by posting the offer answer to a web address assigned to the network-connected device.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/06
G06F 17/30

Abstract:

Dynamically scheduling spaces for one or more users may include accessing one or more sensors and/or services configured to monitor a plurality of physical spaces to obtain sensor data corresponding to each of the physical spaces of the plurality of physical spaces. User data associated with one or more users may also be accessed. Accessing the user data associated with the one or more users may include identifying one or more characteristics of the one or more users and/or a context of a meeting. Based on the sensor data and the user data, a physical space of the plurality of physical spaces may be correlated to the one or more users. A notification may also be sent to at least one of the one or more users that identifies the correlation between the physical space and the one or more users.
