Abstract
Devices, methods, and systems for translating building automation events into mobile notifications are described herein. One device includes a memory, and a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to receive a notification of an event from a building automation system, translate the event into a mobile notification of the event, and transmit the mobile notification of the event to a mobile device.
Claims18
A computing device for translating a building automation event into a mobile notification, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to:
- receive a notification of an event from a building automation system;
- translate the event into a mobile notification of the event by:
- retrieving a message template for that event type from a database that stores different message templates for different event types;
- mapping the event to the message template for that event type retrieved from the database;
- and
- adding information about the event to the message template for that event type, such that the mobile notification of the event comprises the message template for that event type with the information about the event added in, wherein the information about the event added to the message template is included in and taken from the notification of the event, and includes data or details about the event to be provided to each respective user of a plurality of mobile devices;
- and
- concurrently transmit the mobile notification of the event to each of the plurality of mobile devices.
A method for translating a building automation event into a mobile notification, comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, notifications of a number of events from a building automation system;
- storing each of the number of events in a database that also stores different message templates for different event types;
- translating, by the computing device, each respective one of the number of events into a mobile notification of that respective event by:
- retrieving a message template for that event type from the database;
- mapping that event to the message template for that event type retrieved from the database;
- and
- adding information about that event to the message template for that event type, such that the mobile notification of that event comprises the message template for that event type with the information about that event added in, wherein the information about that event added to the message template is included in and taken from the notification of that event, and includes data or details about that event to be provided to each respective user of a plurality of mobile devices;
- and
- concurrently transmitting, by the computing device, the mobile notifications of each of the number of events to each of the plurality of mobile devices.
A system for translating a building automation event into a mobile notification, comprising:
- a building automation system;
- and
- a network-based platform remote to the building automation system;
- wherein the building automation system is configured to:
- detect an event occurring in the building automation system;
- and
- transmit a notification of the event to the network-based platform;
- and
- wherein the network-based platform is configured to:
- translate the event into a mobile notification of the event by:
- retrieving a message template for that event type from a database that stores different message templates for different event types;
- mapping the event to the message template for that event type retrieved from the database;
- and
- adding information about the event to the message template for that event type, such that the mobile notification of the event comprises the message template for that event type with the information about the event added in, wherein the information about the event added to the message template is included in and taken from the notification of the event, and includes data or details about the event to be provided to each respective user of a plurality of mobile devices;
- and
- concurrently transmit the mobile notification of the event to each of the plurality of mobile devices.
