20210112285 · 2021-04-15 ·

A geolocationing system and method for providing awareness in a multi-space environment, such as a hospitality environment or educational environment, are presented. In one embodiment of the geolocationing system, a vertical and horizontal array of gateway devices is provided. Each gateway device includes a gateway device identification providing an accurately-known fixed location within the multi-space environment. Each gateway device includes a wireless transceiver that receives a beacon signal from a proximate wireless-enabled personal locator device. The gateway devices, in turn, send gateway signals to a server, which determines estimated location of the wireless-enabled personal locator device.

Measuring effective utilization of a service practitioner for ticket resolution via a wearable device

Methods, systems, and computer program products for measuring effective utilization of a service practitioner for ticket resolution via a wearable device are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes determining one or more keywords related to multiple information technology action item categories; matching the determined keywords to a set of keystroke data, wherein the keystroke data are captured (i) by a remote device associated with an information technology action item practitioner (ii) over a fixed duration of time; computing, based on said matching the amount of the fixed duration of time spent by the information technology action item practitioner attempting to resolve an information technology action item from among the multiple categories; and outputting the computed amount of time to at least one user.
