Abstract
An electronic building automation system, comprising one or more electronic building automation devices, comprising a beacon receiver arranged to receive localizing beacon signals transmitted from multiple beacons, a processor circuit configured to generate a service request comprising the beacon identifiers stored in the beacon identifier memory, the control computer arranged to generate a servicing message comprising data localizing the building automation device, said data being obtained from the beacon identifiers in the received service request.
Claims14
An electronic building automation system, comprising
- one or more electronic building automation devices, comprising
- a communication interface arranged to communicate with an external control computer over a digital network,
- a beacon receiver arranged to receive localizing beacon signals transmitted from multiple beacons installed in the vicinity of the one or more building automation devices, a localizing beacon signal comprising a beacon identifier identifying the beacon from which the localizing beacon signal originated,
- a beacon identifier memory for storing beacon identifiers received by the beacon receiver, and
- a processor circuit configured to
- monitor the building automation device,
- determine a need for servicing of the building automation device, and if so,
- generate a service request comprising the beacon identifiers stored in the beacon identifier memory,
- transmit the service request to the external control computer over the digital network, and
- the control computer comprising
- a communication interface arranged to communicate with the one or more electronic building automation devices over a digital network, and receive a service request comprising beacon identifiers from a building automation device, and
- a processor circuit configured to
- generate a servicing message comprising data localizing the building automation device, said data being obtained from the beacon identifiers in the received service request.
10 more elements
A mobile servicing device comprising
- a communication interface arranged to communicate with a control computer over a digital network, and arranged to receive a servicing message comprising data localizing a building automation device,
- a beacon receiver arranged to receive localizing beacon signals transmitted from multiple beacons installed in the vicinity of the one or more building automation devices, a localizing beacon signal comprising a beacon identifier identifying the beacon from which the localizing beacon signal originated,
- a processor circuit configured to
- obtain a localization of the building automation device from the data localizing the building automation device relative to a current position of the servicing device using the beacon receiver of the servicing device.
1 more element
A control computer comprising
- a communication interface arranged to communicate with one or more electronic building automation devices over a digital network, and receive a service request comprising beacon identifiers from a building automation device, and
- a processor circuit configured to
- generate a servicing message comprising data localizing the building automation device, said data being obtained from the beacon identifiers in the received service request, and
- transmit the servicing message to a mobile servicing device.
1 more element
A mobile servicing method comprising
- communicating with a control computer over a digital network, and receiving a servicing message comprising data localizing a building automation device,
- receiving localizing beacon signals transmitted from multiple beacons installed in the vicinity of the one or more building automation devices, a localizing beacon signal comprising a beacon identifier identifying the beacon from which the localizing beacon signal originated,
- obtaining a localization of the building automation device from the data localizing the building automation device relative to a current position of the servicing device using the beacon receiver of the servicing device.
A control method comprising
- communicating with one or more electronic building automation devices over a digital network, and receiving a service request comprising beacon identifiers from a building automation device, and
- generating a servicing message comprising data localizing the building automation device, said data being obtained from the beacon identifiers in the received service request, and
- transmitting the servicing message to a mobile servicing device.
