SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION ABOUT BUILDING RESOURCES

BACKGROUND

Buildings often have many resources. For example, spaces could be considered a resource. An office building, for example, might have a variety of spaces, such as offices, conference rooms, common spaces, restrooms, pantries, and other types of spaces. In a large building, these spaces might be spread across a large floor, or across multiple floors. To find a particular space, an employee might wander around the building looking at room numbers, or might look at a map of the building to identify where the particular space might be located. An employee might also walk to a particular space, only to find that the employee cannot use the space because it is already occupied. Once arriving at a particular space, a person might have to spend time configuring the space to an employee's liking.

A tool in a building might also be considered a resource. An office building, for example, might have a variety of tools, such as printers, projectors, computers, telephones, conference phones, fax machines, or other type of equipment used in the workplace. In a large building, these tools might be dispersed in particular locations across a large floor, or across multiple floors. To find a particular tool, an employee might ask another employee or support person, or wander around the building looking for the particular tool.

An amenity in a building might also be considered a resource. An office building, for example, might have a variety of amenities, such as coffee makers, microwaves, refrigerators, and vending machines. In a large building, these amenities might be spread across a large floor, or across multiple floors. To find a particular amenity, an employee might ask another employee or support person, or wander around the building looking for the particular amenity.

A person in a building might also be considered a resource. An office building, for example, might have a number of employees. In a large building, it might be difficult to determine where an employee is at any one time, and might be difficult to coordinate a meeting with a particular person. To find a particular person, an employee might ask another employee or support person, or wander around the building looking for the particular person.

An issue might sometimes arise with a building resource. For example, a tool or amenity might break, or a particular space might be dirty. An employee might report such an issue to a support person in order to get the issue resolved. Alternatively, a support person might periodically check for issues, and the issue might not get resolved until it is noticed by the support person.

For some buildings, such as office buildings, there are times when a person that is not an employee of a tenant in the building might need to visit the building, but may not have access to the building. In these situations, the person visiting the building might have to check in with security staff, or might need to wait in a lobby for an employee to let the person into the building.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXAMPLE EMBODIMENTS

In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth regarding the systems and methods of the disclosed subject matter and the environment in which such systems and methods may operate in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed subject matter. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art, however, that the disclosed subject matter may be practiced without such specific details, and that certain features, which are well known in the art, are not described in detail in order to avoid unnecessary complication of the disclosed subject matter. In addition, it will be understood that the embodiments provided below are exemplary, and that it is contemplated that there are other systems and methods that are within the scope of the disclosed subject matter.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for providing information about building resources. In addition, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to solutions that provide information about building resources to optimize utilization of the building resources.

Buildings often have many resources. For example, spaces could be considered a resource. An office building, for example, might have a variety of spaces, such as offices, conference rooms, common spaces, restrooms, pantries, and other types of spaces. In a large building, these spaces might be spread across a large floor, or across multiple floors. To find a particular space, an employee might wander around the building looking at room numbers or might look at a map of the building to identify where the particular space might be located. An employee might also walk to a particular space, only to find that the employee cannot use the space because it is already occupied. Once arriving at a particular space, a person might have to spend time configuring the space to an employee's liking.

A tool in a building might also be considered a resource. An office building, for example, might have a variety of tools, such as printers, projectors, computers, telephones, conference phones, fax machines, or other types of equipment used in the workplace. In a large building, these tools might be dispersed in particular locations across a large floor, or across multiple floors. To find a particular tool, an employee might ask another employee or support person, or wander around the building looking for the particular tool.

A person in a building might also be considered a resource. An office building, for example, might have a number of employees. In a large building, it might be difficult to determine where an employee is at any one time and might be difficult to coordinate a meeting with a particular person. To find a particular person, an employee might ask another employee or support person, or wander around the building looking for the particular person.

An issue might sometimes arise with building resource. For example, a tool or amenity might break, or a particular space might be dirty. An employee might report such an issue to a support person in order to get the issue resolved. Alternatively, a support person might periodically check for issues, and the issue might not get resolved until it is noticed by the support person.

For some buildings, such as office buildings, there are times when a person that is not an employee of a tenant in the building might need to visit the building but may not have access to the building. In these situations, the person visiting the building might have to check in with security staff or might need to wait in a lobby for an employee to let the person into the building.

Embodiments of the present disclosure can address the challenges associated with finding a particular resource in a building. For example, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods that can provide information about building resources. The information may include, for example, a location of a space, tool, amenity, or person in a building. The information may also include, for example, directions from a person's current location to the location of a particular building resource.

Embodiments of the present disclosure can also address the challenges associated with configuring a space prior to its use. For example, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods that can configure a space, such as a conference room, in accordance with a particular person's preferences prior to that person using the space. The preferences might include environmental preferences for the space, such as preferences as to the lighting or temperature of the room. The preferences could also include, for example, preferences for a food or beverage to be served in the room. The preferences might also include preferences regarding whether tools are available in a space, such as whiteboards, projectors, or telephones for making a conference call.

Embodiments of the present disclosure can further address the challenges associated with identifying issues with building resources. For example, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods that can receive notice of an issue with a building resource, along with information about the issue that needs to be resolved, such as the location of the issue.

Embodiments of the present disclosure can still further address the challenges associated with managing access to building resources by building visitors. For example, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods that can provide information about building resources to a building visitor prior to the visitor entering a restricted part of a building.

FIG. 1 illustrates an example view 100 of an environment for providing information about building resources, consistent with embodiments of the present disclosure. View 100 illustrates a floorplan of a building. The building could be, for example, a private commercial building, a public building, a government owned building, or any other type of building. The floorplan illustrates a layout of a floor of a building. The floor could be rented or owned by a particular business that operates on the floor.

The floorplan illustrated in view 100 includes a variety of different spaces. For example, space 135 may correspond to a conference room, space 140 may correspond to a space next to the elevators, space 145 may correspond to a focus room, space 150 may correspond to a break room, space 155 may correspond to a particular employee's office, space 160 may correspond to a hallway, space 165 may correspond to a lounge space, and space 170 may correspond to a restroom.

In some embodiments, people on a floor, such as employees of the business that rents or owns at least a portion of the floor, might have client devices 110 on them while they are on the floor. One such client device 110 is illustrated in view 100 as a circle with cross-hatching inside of it. A client device 110 may be a mobile device, for example, a mobile phone, smart phone, tablet, netbook, electronic reader, personal digital assistant (PDA), personal computer, laptop computer, smart watch, gaming device, personal organizer, navigation device, and/or other type of mobile computing devices. In some embodiments, a client device 110 may be implemented with one or more hardware devices and/or software applications running thereon. For example, a client device 110 might run a software application for providing a user with information about building resources. A client device 110 may communicate by transmitting data to and/or receiving data from one or more beacons 120 and/or one or more servers 190. In some embodiments, one or more of client device(s) 110 may be implemented using a computer system, such as computer system 3500 of FIG. 35.

The environment might also include one or more beacons 120, which are represented as circles in view 100. In some embodiments, beacon(s) 120 may be configured to transmit and/or receive Bluetooth signals, such as Bluetooth low energy (BLE) signals. In other embodiments, beacon(s) 120 may be configured to transmit and/or receive Wi-Fi signals. Beacon(s) could also be configured to transmit and/or receive ultra-wideband (UWB) signals. In some embodiments, a beacon may be configured to transmit and/or receive a combination of BLE signals, Wi-Fi signals, UWB signals, and/or other types of short range wireless signals. In other embodiments, some beacons in an environment might transmit and/or receive one type of signal, while other beacons in the environment might transmit and/or receive another type of signal. In some embodiments, a beacon 120 might store certain information for uniquely identifying the beacon. A beacon 120 might transmit this information periodically, or upon receiving a signal from a client device 110 and/or a server 190. In some embodiments, a beacon 120 may be implemented with hardware devices and/or software applications running thereon. A beacon 120 may communicate by transmitting data to and/or receiving data from client device(s) 110 or server(s) 190. In some embodiments, one or more of beacon(s) 120 may be implemented using a computer system, such as computer system 3500 of FIG. 35.

The environment might also include one or more sensors 130, which are represented as squares in view 100. A sensor 130 might include a motion sensor. A motion sensor might be, for example, a passive infrared (PIR) sensor, a microwave sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, or a video camera. A motion sensor might be configured to, for example, detect motion of a human in its vicinity. A sensor 130 could also be a light sensor, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, or any other type of sensor. In some embodiments, a sensor 130 might include a combination of different types of sensors. In some embodiments, a sensor 130 may be implemented with hardware devices and/or software applications running thereon. A sensor 130 may communicate by transmitting data to and/or receiving data from server(s) 190 or client device(s) 110. In some embodiments, one or more sensor(s) 130 may be implemented using a computer system, such as computer system 3500 of FIG. 35.

As shown in view 100, the environment might also include one or more servers 190. By way of example, server(s) 190 may include any combination of one or more of backend servers, web servers, databases, mainframe computers, general-purpose computers, personal computers, or other types of computing devices. In some embodiments, one or more of server(s) 190 may be configured to receive and provide information about building resources, implement searches, index information, store information, and/or retrieve information. In some embodiments, a server 190 may be a standalone computing system or apparatus, or it may be part of a larger system. For example, server(s) 190 may represent distributed servers that are remotely located and communicate over a communications network, or over a dedicated network, such as a local area network (LAN). Server(s) 190 may include one or more back-end servers for carrying out one or more aspects of the present disclosure.

Server(s) 190 may be implemented as a server system comprising a plurality of servers, or a server farm comprising a load balancing system and a plurality of servers. In some embodiments, a server 190 may be implemented with hardware devices and/or software applications running thereon. A server 190 may communicate with client device(s) 110, beacon(s) 120, and/or one or more sensors 130 over network(s) 180. For example, a server 190 may communicate by transmitting data to and/or receiving data from client device(s) 110, beacon(s) 120, and/or sensor(s) 130. In some embodiments, one or more of server(s) 190 may be implemented using a computer system, such as computer system 3500 of FIG. 35.

As shown in view 100, the environment might also include one or more networks 180. Network(s) 180 may connect server(s) 190 with client device(s) 110, beacon(s) 120, and/or sensor(s) 130. Network(s) 180 may provide for the exchange of information, such as queries for information and results, between client device(s) 110 and server(s) 190, between beacon(s) 120 and server(s) 190, or between sensor(s) 130 and server(s) 190. Network(s) may include one or more types of networks interconnecting client device(s) 110, server(s) 190, beacon(s) 120, and/or sensor(s) 130. For example, one client device 110 may communicate with server(s) 190 using a different type of network 180 than a second client device 110 may use to communicate with server(s) 190. As another example, a beacon 120 or sensor 130 may use a different type of network 180 than a client device 110 may use to communicate with server(s) 190.

Network(s) 180 may include one or more wide area networks (WANs), metropolitan area networks (MANs), local area networks (LANs), personal area networks (PANs), or any combination of these networks. Network(s) 180 may include combination of one or more of a variety of different network types, including Internet, intranet, Wi-Fi, IEEE 802.11, cellular, Bluetooth, UWB, infrared, satellite, wireless universal serial bus (wireless USB), Ethernet, twisted-pair, coaxial cable, fiber optic, and/or other types of wired or wireless networks.

Server(s) 190 may store a variety of information about one or more building floors, such as the floor illustrated in view 100. For example, server(s) 190 may store a representation of the floorplan of the floor. Server(s) 190 may also store information about spaces on the floor. For example, server(s) 190 may store information identifying that space 135 corresponds to a conference room, that space 140 corresponds to a space next to the elevators, that space 145 corresponds to a focus room, that space 150 corresponds to a break room, that space 155 corresponds to a particular employee's office, that space 160 corresponds to a hallway, that space 165 corresponds to a lounge space, and that space 170 corresponds to a restroom. Server(s) 190 may also store information about tools and/or amenities that are available in a particular space.

Server(s) 190 may also store a variety of additional information. For example, server(s) 190 may store information about employees, employee contact information, or employee availability. In some embodiments, server(s) 190 may integrate with office software, such as scheduling software, email software, or personnel management software, to provide this information to server(s) 190.

Server(s) 190 may also store information about beacon(s) 120 located on one or more building floors. For example, server(s) 190 may store unique identifying information for each of beacon(s) 120 and/or information about a location where each of beacon(s) 120 is installed. Server(s) 190 may also store information about sensor(s) 130 located on one or more building floors. For example, server(s) 190 may store unique identifying information for each of sensor(s) 130 and/or information about a location where each of sensor(s) 130 is installed.

In some embodiments, the information stored in server(s) 190 can be stored as a result of a person having entered the information. For example, a system administrator might authenticate with server(s) 190 with a username and password, and might then be able to enter information about a building's floorplan, resources, beacons, and/or sensors. An administrator might also be able to modify or reconfigure this information. For example, an administrator might change information about tools available in a room to add an additional tool when that tool has been added to the room. The administrator may enter and/or change the information stored in server(s) 190 through a user interface, which might enable the information to be entered or changed through entry of text and/or selection of buttons.

Server(s) 190 may receive signals from sensor(s) 130. For example, a sensor 130 in a space may include a motion sensor and may send information about whether motion has been detected to server(s) 190. Sensor(s) 130 may send this information to server(s) 190 periodically, or upon being polled by server(s) 190. In this way, at any one time, server(s) 190 may determine whether motion has been detected in a particular space. If motion has been detected within some period of time (e.g., within the past 5 minutes), server(s) 190 may consider the space to be occupied. If motion has not been detected for some period of time (e.g., within the past 5 minutes), server(s) 190 may consider the space to be unoccupied. Server(s) 190 may receive signals from multiple sensor(s) 130, and may track which spaces are occupied or unoccupied at any one time. Server(s) 190 may also receive signals from light sensors, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, or other types of sensors. Server(s) 190 may use this information to track the climate or lighting of particular spaces.

Within an environment, such as the environment shown in view 100, a software application may be opened on a client device 110. The software application may, for example, provide information about building resources. The software application may configure client device 110 to periodically receive information from one or more of the beacons 120 distributed through the floor of the building. For example, client device 110 may periodically transmit a signal to beacons 120 within proximity of client device 110 over a short range wireless network, such as a Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or UWB network. The proximity could be, for example, a range of up to 30 feet. In doing so, a client device 110 may continuously scan for beacons 120 within its vicinity. A beacon 120 receiving the signal from client device 110 may respond over the short range wireless network with a transmission that includes information that uniquely identifies beacon 120. Alternatively, rather than have a client device 110 periodically transmit to scan for beacons 120, a beacon 120 may be configured to periodically transmit its unique identifying information. A client device 110 may receive the information for beacons 120 within its vicinity. A client device 110 may receive information from multiple beacons 120 at any particular location on the floor. For example, in the example shown in view 100, client device 110 may receive transmissions from the three or four beacons that are closest to client device 110. In addition to receiving information identifying beacons 120 within its vicinity, a client device 110 may also measure a signal strength of the signals it receives from those beacons 120.

Once a client device 110 has received information about one or more beacons 120 within its vicinity, it may send this information over one or more networks 180 to server(s) 190. In some embodiments, a client device 110 may also send signal strengths associated with the signals it received from beacons 120 within its vicinity to server(s) 190. Server(s) 190 may use the information received from a client device 110 to triangulate a location of client device 110 on the floor. For example, server(s) 190 may determine that, based on the three beacons from which client device 110 received signals, a client device 110 is in a particular location. Server(s) 190 may also utilize information about signal strengths of each of the signals client device 110 received from beacons to further triangulate a location of client device 110. Once a location of client device 110 has been determined, server(s) 190 may use this information to provide information to client device 110. For example, server(s) 190 may provide client device 110 with information about its location, about building resources near its location, and/or with directions from its location to a particular building resource.

FIG. 2 illustrates an example diagram 200 illustrating various features that may be made available on a software application 210 on a client device 110, consistent with embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, a software application 210 may provide one or more features 220 that allow for finding a particular building resource. Software application 210 may also provide one or more features 225 that allow for navigating to a particular building resource. Software application 210 may further provide one or more features 230 that allow for finding information about a building resource. Software application 210 may further provide one or more features 235 that allow for scheduling a meeting with one or more persons, or that allow for editing a scheduled event and its associated room, tools, or amenities. Software application 210 may also provide one or more features 240 that allow for finding a room's booking status and/or for finding a room's occupancy status. Software application 210 may further provide one or more features 245 that allow for sharing a user's location. Software application 210 may also provide one or more features 250 that allow for requesting assistance with an issue with a building resource. Software application 210 may also provide one or more features 255 that allow for visitor management. Software application 210 may further provide one or more features 260 for access to resources of a building. Software application 210 may also provide one or more features 265 that allow for posting information about building events and/or for sending notifications to employees. Software application 210 may further provide one or more features 270 that allow for providing concierge services.

FIG. 3 illustrates a flowchart of an example method 300, consistent with embodiments of the present disclosure. Example method 300 may be implemented in an environment (see, e.g., FIG. 1) using one or more computer systems (see, e.g., FIG. 35). In some embodiments, method 300 may be performed by one or more servers 190.

In step 301, an indication of whether a space is occupied may be received. For example, server(s) 190 may receive information from a motion sensor 130 located in proximity to a space indicating whether the space is occupied. The space could be, for example, a room, and motion sensor 130 may be located within the room. Server(s) 190 may update stored information about the occupancy of the space based on the received indication.

In step 302, a location of a client device 110 may be determined. For example, a client device 110 may receive signals with information uniquely identifying one or more beacons 120 in proximity to client device 110. Client device 110 may also identify signal strengths associated with the signals it receives from beacon(s) 120. Server(s) 190 may receive the information uniquely identifying the one or more beacons from the client device. Server(s) 190 may also receive information about the signal strengths of the signals from the client device. Server(s) 190 may then use the information uniquely identifying beacon(s) 120 to determine a location of client device 110. Server(s) 190 may also use signal strength information to determine the location of client device 110. Server(s) 190 may determine the location of client device 110 using, for example, triangulation.

In step 303, a route between client device 110 and the space may be determined. For example, a client device 110 may display an indication that a space is unoccupied based on information received from server(s) 190. A user of client device 110 may then request a route between client device 110 and the space by sending a request to server(s) 190. Server(s) 190 may use the determined location of client device 110 and a stored location of the space to determine the shortest route to take in the building to get from the location of client device 110 to the space.

In step 304, once the route has been determined, server(s) 190 may provide information that allows at least a portion of the route to be displayed on a map of at least a portion of a floor of a facility that houses the space. The information may be, for example, graphics primitives or other display information. The information may also include information that enables visual and/or audio turn-by-turn directions to be output on device 110. The information may cause the at least a portion of the route to be displayed as an overlay on the map on a screen of client device 110. In some embodiments, the route may be displayed on client device 110 as a line between the location of client device 110 on the map and the space on the map. If a route is relatively short, the information may cause the entire route to be displayed on client device 110. If the route is relatively long, the information may cause only a first part to be traversed of the route to be displayed. If the building has multiple tenants on the floor, the map may display only a portion of the floor. For example, if the user of client device 110 is an employee of a company renting only a portion of a floor, client device 110 may only display a map of that portion of the floor on client device 110. In some embodiments, the map displayed on client device 110 may also include information about spaces, tools, and/or amenities on the floor, such as room names or points of interest (e.g., restrooms, pantries, coffee makers).

Once the route on the map is displayed on client device 110, a displayed location of client device 110 on the map may be updated as client device 110 moves. For example, server(s) 190 may receive from client device 110 information about beacon(s) in its proximity and/or signal strength of beacons in its proximity at a time later than a time at which the previous location of client device 110 was determined. Server(s) 190 may use this information to determine a second location of client device 110. Server(s) 190 may then provide information to client device 110 that allows client device 110 to display an updated position of client device 110 on the route on the map.

In some embodiments, server(s) 190 may provide a client device 110 with information for overlays on portions of the map corresponding to spaces, indicating whether each of the spaces is available or unavailable. For example, server(s) 190 may receive information from multiple sensors 130 indicating an occupancy status of multiple spaces. Server(s) 190 may use this status information to provide client device 110 with information for displaying overlays on the portions of the map corresponding to spaces, indicating whether each of the spaces is available or unavailable based on its occupancy status. In some embodiments, the overlays can be color overlays, where different colors are used to indicate whether each of the spaces is available or unavailable. For example, green overlays may be displayed over spaces that are unoccupied, red overlays may be displayed over spaces that are occupied, and grey overlays may be displayed over spaces with unknown occupancy.

In some embodiments, a user of a client device 110 may request to filter the displayed overlays regarding occupancy status. For example, a user may request to filter the displayed overlays to display only overlays for spaces meeting certain criteria. The criteria could be, for example, a time frame during which the user wants to use a space, whether a space is reservable, a type of work the user intends to perform, a tool the user requires, or an amenity of a space. Server(s) 190 may receive the request from client device 110, determine which of the available or unavailable spaces meets the user specified criteria, and send to client device 110 updated information for displaying overlays only on spaces of the floor that meet the user specified criteria.

In some embodiments, a user of a client device 110 may request an unoccupied space for performing a particular task, such as making a call, meeting with a small group, meeting with a large group, or working in a quiet space. Server(s) 190 may receive an indication that the user of client device 110 has requested an unoccupied space for performing the particular task. Server(s) 190 may then determine the closest space to the user that is unoccupied and that is suitable for the particular task. Server(s) 190 may store information about tasks for which different spaces in a building are suitable, and may use this information in determining which spaces are suitable for the task identified by the user. Server(s) 190 may then determine a route between the location of client device 110 and the space, and may provide information so that the route is displayed as an overlay on a map of the floor on client device 110.

FIG. 4 illustrates a flowchart of an example method 400, consistent with embodiments of the present disclosure. Example method 400 may be implemented in an environment (see, e.g., FIG. 1) using a computer system (see, e.g., FIG. 35). In some embodiments, method 400 may be performed by a client device 110.

In step 401, information about a beacon may be received by client device 110. For example, a client device 110 may receive signals with information uniquely identifying one or more beacons 120 in proximity to client device 110. Client device 110 may also identify signal strengths associated with the signals it receives from beacon(s) 120.

In step 402, client device 110 may provide the information uniquely identifying beacon(s) 120 to server(s) 190. Client device 110 may also provide to server(s) 190 information about signal strengths associated with the signals client device 110 received from beacon(s) 120. Server(s) 190 may utilize this information to determine a location of client device 110.

In step 403, client device 110 may provide a request to navigate to a space to server(s) 190. For example, a user of client device 110 may select a particular space to which the user wishes to navigate, and in response, client device 110 may send the request to server(s) 190.

In step 404, client device 110 may receive from server(s) 190 information for displaying at least a portion of a route between a location of client device 110 and a location of the space on a map of at least a portion of a floor of a facility housing the space. The information received from server(s) 190 may be, for example, graphics primitives or other display information. The information may also include information that enables visual and/or audio turn-by-turn directions to be output on device 110.

In step 405, at least a portion of the route may be displayed as an overlay on the map on a screen of client device 110, based on the information received from server(s) 190. In some embodiments, the route may be displayed on client device 110 as a line between the location of client device 110 on the map and the space on the map. If a route is relatively short, the entire route may be displayed on client device 110. If the route is relatively long, only a first part to be traversed of the route may be displayed. If the building has multiple tenants on the floor, the map may display only a portion of the floor. For example, if a user of client device 110 is an employee of a company renting only a portion of a floor, client device 110 may only display a map of that portion of the floor on client device 110. In some embodiments, the map displayed on client device 110 may also include information about spaces, tools, and/or amenities on the floor, such as room names or points of interest (e.g., restrooms, pantries, coffee makers).

Once the route on the map is displayed on client device 110, a displayed location of client device 110 on the map may be updated as client device 110 moves. For example, client device 110 may receive information about beacon(s) 120 in its proximity and/or signal strength of beacons in its proximity at a time later than a time at which the previous location of client device 110 was determined. Client device 110 may provide this provide this information to server(s) 190, and then receive from server(s) 190 information regarding the current location of client device 110. Client device 110 may then display an updated position of client device 110 on the route on the map.

In some embodiments, client device 110 may display overlays on portions of the map corresponding to spaces, indicating whether each of the spaces is available or unavailable. For example, server(s) 190 may provide client device 110 with information for displaying these overlays. The overlays may indicate whether each of the spaces is available or unavailable based on its occupancy status. In some embodiments, the overlays can be color overlays, where different colors are used to indicate whether each of the spaces is available or unavailable. For example, green overlays may be displayed over spaces that are unoccupied, red overlays may be displayed over spaces that are occupied, and grey overlays may be displayed over spaces with unknown occupancy.

In some embodiments, a user of client device 110 may request to filter the displayed overlays regarding occupancy status. For example, a user may request to filter the displayed overlays to display only overlays for spaces meeting certain criteria. The criteria could be, for example, a time frame during which the user wants to use a space, whether a space is reservable, a type of work the user intends to perform, a tool the user requires, or an amenity of a space. An indication of the user request can be sent to server(s) 190. Client device 110 may then receive updated information for displaying overlays only on spaces of the floor that meet the user specified criteria.

In some embodiments, a user of a client device 110 may request an unoccupied space for performing a particular task, such as making a call, meeting with a small group, meeting with a large group, or working in a quiet space. Client device 110 may send this request to server(s) 190. In response, client device 110 may receive from server(s) 190 an indication of the closest space to client device 110 that is unoccupied and that is suitable for the particular task. Client device 110 may also receive from server(s) 190 information for displaying at least a portion of the route between the location of client device 110 and the location of the space on the map displayed on client device 110.

FIG. 5 illustrates a flowchart of an example method 500, consistent with embodiments of the present disclosure. Example method 500 may be implemented in an environment (see, e.g., FIG. 1) using one or more computer systems (see, e.g., FIG. 35). In some embodiments, method 500 may be performed by one or more servers 190.

In step 501, a location of a client device 110 may be determined. For example, a client device 110 may receive signals with information uniquely identifying one or more beacons 120 in proximity to client device 110. Client device 110 may also identify signal strengths associated with the signals it receives from beacon(s) 120. Server(s) 190 may receive the information uniquely identifying the one or more beacons from the client device. Server(s) 190 may also receive information about the signal strengths of the signals from the client device. Server(s) 190 may then use the information uniquely identifying beacon(s) 120 to determine a location of client device 110. Server(s) 190 may also use signal strength information to determine the location of client device 110. Server(s) 190 may determine the location of client device 110 using, for example, triangulation.

In step 502, information regarding a user request to share a location in a building may be received from the client device. For example, a user of a client device 110 might wish to share the client device's current location, or a meeting location, with one or more persons. The location could be the location of a bookable space, or a non-bookable space, such as a common space. The user request may specify one or more persons with whom to share the location, a location to be shared, and/or a message to the one or more persons. In some embodiments, the user request may include a request to select a location on a map of at least a portion of a floor of a facility. In response to such a request, server(s) 190 may provide to client device 110 information for display of the map of the at least a portion of the facility, and the client device may display the map. A user may then select a location on the map, and server(s) 190 may receive the selection of the location from the client device. Server(s) 190 may then include the selected location as the location to be shared as part of the notification.

In step 503, a notification may be provided to one or more devices associated with the one or more persons. The notification may identify the user making the user request, the location, and the message. The notification may be provided to the one or more devices based on contact information input by the user. Alternatively, server(s) 190 may look up contact information for the specified one or more persons and use that contact information to deliver the notification.

FIG. 6 illustrates a flowchart of an example method 600, consistent with embodiments of the present disclosure. Example method 600 may be implemented in an environment (see, e.g., FIG. 1) using a computer system (see, e.g., FIG. 35). In some embodiments, method 600 may be performed by a client device 110.

In step 601, a user request to share a location in a building may be received. For example, a user of a client device 110 might wish to share the client device's current location, or a meeting location, with one or more persons. The location could be the location of a bookable space, or a non-bookable space, such as a common space. The user request may include, for example, a selection of one or more persons with whom to share the location, a location to be shared, and/or a message to the one or more persons. In some embodiments, the user request may include a request to select a location on a map of at least a portion of a floor of a facility. Such a request may be provided to server(s) 190, and client device 110 may receive in response from server(s) 190 information for displaying a map of at least a portion of the floor of the facility. Client device 110 may display the map using this information. A user may then select a location on the map, and provide the selected location to server(s) 190. Server(s) 190 may then include the selected location as the location to be shared as part of the notification.

In step 602, information regarding the user request to share the location may be sent to server(s) 190. The information may include information about the one or more persons with whom to share the location, the location to be shared, and/or a message to the one or more persons. Server(s) 190 may then use this information to send a notification to the one or more persons. Once the notification has been sent, server(s) 190 may generate information for causing client device 110 to display a confirmation indicating that a notification including the location and the message has been sent to the one or more persons.

In step 603, the information for causing display of the confirmation may be received by client device 110. Once this information has been received, client device 110 may display the confirmation.

FIG. 7 illustrates a flowchart of an example method 700, consistent with embodiments of the present disclosure. Example method 700 may be implemented in an environment (see, e.g., FIG. 1) using one or more computer systems (see, e.g., FIG. 35). In some embodiments, method 700 may be performed by one or more server(s) 190.

In step 701, server(s) 190 may receive information regarding a user request to reserve a space. For example, server(s) may maintain information about which spaces in a building are reservable, which spaces have already been reserved at particular dates and times, and which spaces are available at particular dates and times. A user wishing to reserve a space can request information about the availability of the spaces from server(s) 190, and may then request to reserve a particular space. The user request may include a date and time for reserving the space, a duration for reserving the space, a location of the space, and/or one or more persons to invite to the space.

In step 702, server(s) 190 may identify one or more preferences. The one or more preferences may be associated with the user making the user request, with a person invited to the space, or with the space itself. For example, server(s) 190 may store preferences associated with users or with spaces. These preferences may include, for example, a preference as to environmental conditions in the space, technology tools within the space, or food or beverage for consumption in the space. For example, a user may have preferences as to environmental conditions of a space, such as a temperature level, humidity level, or lighting level of a space. A user might also have preferences as to technology tools of a space, such as always wanting a projector to be set up before the user's reserved time for using the space. A user might also have preferences as to a food or beverage for consumption in the space. For example, a user might prefer to have coffee served during his meetings or might prefer that sandwiches be served from a particular food vendor at lunch meetings. Server(s) 190 may store user preferences for spaces.

In step 703, server(s) 190 sends one or more messages in advance of the date and time for which the space is reserved to configure the space in accordance with the one or more preferences. For example, server(s) 190 may send messages to appropriate control systems, food vendors, and/or support staff to configure the space to the user's liking.

In some embodiments, the one or more messages could be notifications to one or more persons invited to the space at the reserved time. For example, the notifications could notify the one or more persons that the user has invited them to a particular space at a particular date and time, and could include a message asking the one or more persons whether they have any preferences for the space, such as preferences as to environmental conditions, preferences as to a technology tool to use in the space, or preferences as to a food or beverage to be served in the space. In some embodiments, the notification may indicate that the user has selected a particular caterer for a meeting in the space, and could request that the one or more persons select particular food or beverage items from that caterer's menu for delivery to the space at the reserved date and time.

In some embodiments, machine learning or artificial intelligence algorithms may be implemented in server(s) 190 to automatically determine a user's likely preferences for certain spaces, and to update those preferences as they change over time by tracking the user's preferences for different types of spaces.

When a user has reserved a space for a particular date and time, server(s) 190 may update a status of the space in a database to track that it is reserved at the particular date and time. In some embodiments, server(s) 190 may receive an indication from a motion sensor located in proximity to the space at a defined period of time after the date and time. For example, the motion sensor could send indications of occupancy status to server(s) 190 periodically or in response to polling by server(s) 190. In some embodiments, a motion sensor may send an indication of occupancy of the space to server(s) 190 some time period into a reservation, such as 10 minutes into a reservation. If the space is unoccupied, server(s) 190 may update the status of the space in the database to indicate that the space is no longer reserved and is now available during the previously reserved time. In doing so, spaces can be made available even when they are reserved if the space is not being utilized.

FIG. 8 illustrates a flowchart of an example method 800, consistent with embodiments of the present disclosure. Example method 800 may be implemented in an environment (see, e.g., FIG. 1) using one or more computer systems (see, e.g., FIG. 35). In some embodiments, method 800 may be performed by one or more servers 190.

In step 801, a location of a client device 110 may be determined. For example, a client device 110 may receive signals with information uniquely identifying one or more beacons 120 in proximity to client device 110. Client device 110 may also identify signal strengths associated with the signals it receives from beacon(s) 120. Server(s) 190 may receive the information uniquely identifying the one or more beacons from the client device. Server(s) 190 may also receive information about the signal strengths of the signals from the client device. Server(s) 190 may then use the information uniquely identifying beacon(s) 120 to determine a location of client device 110. Server(s) 190 may also use the signal strength information to determine the location of client device 110. Server(s) 190 may determine the location of client device 110 using, for example, triangulation.

In step 802, server(s) 190 may receive a user notification from the client device regarding an issue in the building space. The user notification may include information about the issue, an identity of a user that generated the user notification, and/or the location of the client device. For example, a user in a building may identify a particular issue with a building resource, such as a printer that is broken, a bathroom that is dirty, a conference room with a broken projector, or some other issue. The user may select to report the issue. The user may enter information describing the issue. The user may also select a location of the issue. For example, the user could select the current location of client device 110 as the location of the issue or could select a location on a displayed map on client device 110. The information describing the issue, the location of the issue, and information identifying a user of the client device may then be sent as a user notification to server(s) 190. In some embodiments, the user may also enter a priority of the issue or a category of the issue for inclusion in the user notification. In some embodiments, the user may also take a picture of the issue and include the picture in the user notification. Server(s) 190 may receive the notification and determine the type of issue. Based on the type of issue, server(s) 190 may provide one or more messages to one or more devices associated with one or more appropriate support staff persons for the type of issue, so that they can address the issue.

FIG. 9 illustrates a flowchart of an example method 900, consistent with embodiments of the present disclosure. Example method 900 may be implemented in an environment (see, e.g., FIG. 1) using one or more computer systems (see, e.g., FIG. 35). In some embodiments, method 900 may be performed by one or more servers 190.

In step 901, server(s) 190 may receive from a client device 110 a user request to provide information to a building visitor. The user request may include contact information for the visitor, an identity of the visitor, and/or a time and date that the visitor will be visiting the building. For example, a user may schedule a meeting in a conference room in the building for a particular date and time, invite the visitor to the meeting, and generate the user request based on the scheduled meeting.

In step 802, based on the information in the user request, server(s) 190 may generate a code, such as a bar code, a quick response (QR) code, or a mobile key.

In step 803, server(s) 190 may then send a notification to the visitor using the contact information, and the notification may include the code. The code may be displayed on a device of the visitor, such that the visitor can display the code and scan it on a terminal to check in with a security desk upon arriving at the building. In some embodiments, the notification may also include a message to a printer that causes the printer to print a label with information about the visitor for the visitor to wear while visiting the building. In some embodiments, the notification may include Wi-Fi settings for configuring the device of the visitor so that it is capable of using Wi-Fi when in the building. In some embodiments, the bar code, QR code, or mobile key included in the notification may scanned at doorways, such that the visitor can access certain areas of the building that are normally restricted to only employees working in the building.
