Methods and systems for autonomous vehicle recharging or refueling are disclosed. Autonomous vehicles may be automatically refueled by routing the vehicles to available fueling stations when not in operation, according to methods described herein. A fuel level within a tank of an autonomous vehicle may be monitored until it reaches a refueling threshold, at which point an on-board computer may generate a predicted use profile for the vehicle. Based upon the predicted use profile, a time and location for the vehicle to refuel the vehicle may be determined. In some embodiments, the vehicle may be controlled to automatically travel to a fueling station, refill a fuel tank, and return to its starting location in order to refuel when not in use.

To achieve a balance between convenience in managing/handling real estate properties and privacy protection of tenants while reducing the facility cost and operating cost. A real estate management system is equipped with: a camera robot 61 for capturing an interior image of a real estate property 3; a tenant side device 41 for controlling communications with the camera robot 61; an operation regulation unit 402c for regulating operation of the tenant side device 41 on the basis of an operation performed by a tenant of the real estate property 3; a communication service provider side device 7 connected to the camera robot 61 over a communication network and controlling a communication service using the camera robot 61; and a real estate manager side device 8 connected to the camera robot 61 over the communication network and executing a real estate management service using the camera robot 61. The communication service provider side device 7 and the real estate manager side device 8 are permitted to connect to the camera robot 61 on the basis of an authentication result of a device side authentication unit 402b and an approval operation performed by the tenant.

A system and approach for observing how smart an enterprise is performing comparatively across a relevant industry. It may be model based, using dynamic data to observe the performance of the enterprise, such as one or more buildings. The system and approach may use a smart building score in view of metrics based off of comprehensive pillars or categories, including, for example, those of people, process, assets, environment and connectivity. An overall smart building score may be developed from the smart building scores of the categories. The scores may be observed on a dashboard. Changes in the scores may reveal variations of the enterprise in a real time manner.

Methods and systems for homeowner-directed risk mitigation for damage to a property associated with insurance-related events are provided. A smart home controller may analyze data received from a plurality of smart devices disposed on, or proximate to, a property as well as data received from an insurance provider. If it is determined that an actual or potential risk of property damage exists, the smart home controller may transmit an alert to a homeowner detailing the risk. The homeowner may respond to the alert by transmitting an instruction to mitigate or prevent damage associated with the risk back to the smart home controller. Subsequently, the smart home controller may transmit information about the actual or potential risks and any homeowner-directed mitigative actions to an insurance provider. The insurance provider may interpret the transmitted data and perform insurance activities, such as providing discounts and adjusting an insurance policy associated with the property.

A process for generating a real estate valuation, the process including providing a server integrated with a multiple listing service database, a real estate transaction standard, and an internet data exchange, providing adjustment values for a property by input of a user, selecting a geographical location, preparing and executing a query of properties in the geographical location with similar adjustment values, weighting results of the query according to pre-determined metrics selected by the user, converting results into a linear algebra problem, using a weighted linear regression to determine adjustment values, determining if the adjustment values are reasonable, and generating a graphical user interface displaying the results.

A power management system for managing a predetermined facility including a power generator includes a receiver for receiving a message including a first information element for identifying a right holder for a moving body and a second information element for identifying a right holder for the power generator when charging of a power storage device provided in the moving body is performed by power generated by the power generator, and a controller for identifying an attribution subject of an environmental value generated by the charging of the power storage device based on the first information element and the second information element.

Systems and methods are described for monitoring, maintaining and upgrading a property. A property fitness index tracks a maintenance of at least one property using at least one fitness metric. A property value for the property is determined and a property value boost for the property is determined using the property fitness index for the property. A property log auto-populates a property log for the property with recorded actions related to the property and associated dates for the recorded actions. The recorded actions may be categorized by improvements, maintenance or home issues.

A method for management of a land base includes interfacing a machine or equipment to a computer running a geographical information system (GIS) application such that the computer is configured to monitor the operations performed by the equipment or machine on the land base and store the operations as map points, lines, or polygons on at least one data layer within the GIS application. The method further includes displaying the GIS application to the operator at the point and time of performing the operations.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for identifying issues in a building. In one aspect, a method includes receiving information describing an issue with a building, accessing data that identifies (i) a plurality of components that are included in the building and (ii) features of the plurality of components, identifying one or more candidate components that have at least a threshold likelihood of being a cause of the issue, and performing some action in response to remedy the issue. For example, the method can include selecting a candidate service provider from among a plurality of service providers based on a comparison of (i) the one or more candidate components and (ii) information identifying technical qualifications for the plurality of service providers, transmitting a service request for the issue to the candidate service provider, receiving a response from the candidate service provider, and scheduling, based on the response, a service appointment.

An apparatus for managing access to one or more elevators of a building is configured to: receive, for a plurality occupants of the building, a respective occupant registration request including at least occupant characteristics recorded for the respective occupant; assign each occupant into one of a plurality of occupant groups based on the occupant characteristics recorded for the respective occupant, wherein each occupant group has respective access rights with respect to said one or more elevators that are different from access rights of other occupant groups in terms of a time schedule of accessing said one or more elevators; and selectively allow or disallow an occupant of the building to access said one or more elevators in accordance with the access rights of the occupant group into which said occupant is assigned.
