Abstract
A domain management resource monitors a behavior of a user controlling multiple resources disposed in a domain of a network environment. Based on the monitored behavior, the domain management resource identifies a repeated pattern of control in which the user controls a particular resource in the domain. The domain management resource derives a proposed control rule based on the repeated pattern of control. The proposed control specifies how to control the particular resource. The domain management resource presents the control rule for review and possible editing prior to programming the domain management resource to execute the control rule.
Claims31
A method comprising:
- monitoring a behavior of a user controlling multiple resources disposed in a domain of a network environment, the multiple resources communicatively coupled to a domain management resource associated with the domain;
- based on the monitored behavior, identifying a repeated pattern of control in which the user controls a particular resource in the domain;
- producing a proposed control rule based on the repeated pattern of control, the proposed control rule specifying how to control the particular resource;
- and
- presenting the proposed control rule for review prior to programming the domain management resource with the proposed control rule.
A method comprising:
- receiving feedback generated by a user, the feedback indicating that the user likes current environmental conditions in a domain of a network environment in which the user resides;
- producing a profile for the user, the profile recording the current environmental conditions to which the feedback pertains;
- and
- deriving a control setting to control future environmental settings in the domain based on the feedback and corresponding recorded environmental conditions in the profile.
A computer system comprising:
- computer processor hardware;
- and
- a hardware storage resource coupled to the computer processor hardware, the hardware storage resource storing instructions that, when executed by the computer processor hardware, causes the computer processor hardware to perform operations of:
- receiving feedback generated by a user, the feedback indicating that the user likes current environmental conditions in a domain of a network environment in which the user resides;
- producing a profile for the user, the profile recording the current environmental conditions to which the feedback pertains;
- and
- deriving a control setting to control future environmental settings in the domain based on the feedback and corresponding recorded environmental conditions in the profile.
Computer-readable hardware storage having instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when carried out by computer processor hardware, causes the computer processor hardware to perform operations of:
- monitoring a behavior of a user controlling multiple resources disposed in a domain of a network environment, the multiple resources communicatively coupled to a domain management resource associated with the domain;
- based on the monitored behavior, identifying a repeated pattern of control in which the user controls a particular resource in the domain;
- producing a proposed control rule based on the repeated pattern of control, the proposed control rule specifying how to control the particular resource;
- and
- presenting the proposed control rule for review prior to programming the domain management resource with the proposed control rule.
