Abstract
A method and apparatus for a computer-implemented adaptive automation module comprising an event recorder to store one or more events for a predetermined period, and a timeline pattern generator logic to create a timeline for the predetermined period. The module further comprising marker creator logic to generate a marker to abstract the timeline data from the event data for controlling a device.
Claims20
A method for automation of a controller comprising:
- receiving an event from a sensor, the event indicating a presence or absence of a person;
- recording a timeline pattern based on a record of events;
- establishing a marker on the timeline pattern based on the record of events;
- adjusting the marker to approximate location consistency of the events in the timeline;
- computing a weight for the marker that reflects time consistency of the events;
- and
- triggering output based on the marker.

A computer-implemented adaptive automation module comprising:
- an event recorder to store one or more events for a predetermined period, the event based on data from a sensor indicating a presence or absence of a person;
- a timeline pattern generator logic to create a timeline for the predetermined period;
- a marker creator logic to generate a marker to abstract the timeline data from the event data for controlling a device, the device used to adapt an environment for the person.
A adaptive automation module comprising:
- a receiver to receive data from one or more sensors, the data indicating a presence or an absence of a person;
- a storage medium to store the data;
- a processor associated with the storage medium and configured to:
- create a timeline pattern based on a record of events, the record of events derived from the data;
- abstract the timeline data from the record of events by generating an intermediate layer of markers that are adjusted for consistency, thereby reducing effects of variations.
