Method and system for the dynamic selection, allocation and arbitration of control between devices within a region. |
摘要 |
The present invention comprises a method and a system by which mobile, remote, adaptable controllers can dynamically control a multitude of resources within a given region (e.g. a room) such that policies determined for the region, controllers, and resources can be arbitrated in a manner that creates a meaningful work environment for users in the region. Furthermore, the present invention allows a controller to dynamically choose one of various modes of operation, either singly or in combination, allowing the user of the controller a maximum of flexibility in interacting with the resources in the region. These modes of operation comprise, but are not limited, to: a manual mode whereby a user may select a list of available resources that meet region-level policy and two automatic modes whereby controllers and resources may, without direct user input, make requests and allocation based on region-level policy and other constraints. The present invention maximizes the control of the resources of a region such that the control of the most suitable resources is dynamically situated in the hands of the user on an adaptable mobile controller. <IMAGE> |
