Abstract
Techniques for autonomously managing an intelligent space are provided. In one example, a method is provided that can comprise detecting, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, a number of occupants located in a space for a period of time. The number of occupants can be an integer greater than zero. The method can also comprise associating, by the system, the number of occupants with an entity. Further, the method can comprise billing, by the system, the entity a cost based on the number of occupants.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- detecting, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, a number of occupants located in a space for a period of time, wherein the number of occupants is an integer greater than zero;
- associating, by the system, the number of occupants with an entity;
- and
- billing, by the system, the entity a cost based on the number of occupants.
A system, comprising:
- a memory that stores computer executable components;
- a processor, operably coupled to the memory, and that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components comprise:
- a detection component that detects a plurality of occupants located in a space for a period of time;
- and
- an association component that associates a first occupant of the plurality of occupants with a first group and associates a second occupant of the plurality of occupants with a second group.
A computer program product for managing an intelligent space, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
- detect an occupant located in a space for a period of time, wherein the space is selected from a group consisting of a building structure, a room and a defined geographical boundary;
- associate the occupant with an entity;
- and
- adjust a parameter of the space based on the entity.
