An electrical panel or an electrical meter may provide improved functionality by interacting with a smart plug. A smart plug may provide a smart-plug power monitoring signal that includes information about power consumption of devices connected to the smart plug. The smart-plug power monitoring signal may be used in conjunction with power monitoring signals from the electrical mains of the building for providing information about the operation of devices in the building. For example, the power monitoring signals may be used to (i) determine the main of the house that provides power to the smart plug, (ii) identify devices receiving power from the smart plug, (iii) improve the accuracy of identifying device state changes, and (iv) train mathematical models for identifying devices and device state changes.

A system for monitoring a plurality of machines of a facility is disclosed. The system comprises a plurality of data network devices configured to communicate with one another via at least one network. The data network devices are configured to collect machine data from the plurality of machines and distribute the machine data via the at least one network. The system further comprises data display devices configured to provide a graphical user interface that enables a user to view and analyze the machine data that is collected and distributed by the data network devices.

Methods and apparatus for grid connectivity control are provided herein. For example, a method can include receiving status information of a microgrid configured to connect to a grid, transmitting a live status update screen of the microgrid to a user, the live status update screen comprising a grid connectivity button configured to receive a user input and based on a received user input, transmitting a control signal to a microgrid interconnect device connected between the microgrid and the grid for coordinating one of connection or disconnection microgrid connected to the grid.

In one aspect, an example method to be performed by a vehicle-based media system includes (a) receiving audio content; (b) causing one or more speakers to output the received audio content; (c) using a microphone of the vehicle-based media system to capture the output audio content; (d) identifying reference audio content that has at least a threshold extent of similarity with the captured audio content; (e) identifying visual content based at least on the identified reference audio content; and (f) outputting, via a user interface of the vehicle-based media system, the identified visual content.

There are provided a communication system in which a piece of equipment in a facility and a device working in the facility cooperate easily with each other, an equipment server and a device server in the communication system, and a data structure which is to be communicated in the communication system. In a communication system, a message is used for control of a control target by being communicated in a common format between each of equipment servers and each of object servers. The control target is a piece of building equipment as a piece of equipment or an object working in a building as a facility.

A method of controlling an autonomous vehicle and an electronic device are provided, which relate to a field of artificial intelligence technology, and in particular to a field of autonomous driving technology. The method includes: acquiring a vehicle state configuration information from a cloud; enabling a task receiving function of the vehicle, in response to the vehicle state configuration information indicating that the vehicle is in an automatic operation state; acquiring a task information from the cloud in response to the task receiving function being enabled; and controlling the vehicle according to the task information.

A server and a control method are provided. The server includes a communication interface for performing communication with a plurality of electronic devices and a plurality of sensing devices, and at least one processor configured to identify a sensing device corresponding to a user's location from among the plurality of sensing devices based on information received from at least one of the plurality of electronic devices and the plurality of sensing devices through the communication interface, and control the communication interface to transmit a signal for controlling a target electronic device among the plurality of electronic devices to the target electronic device based on sensing data received from the identified sensing device.

A cooling mechanism apparatus, system, and method for adaptively controlling heat of a vehicle processor, includes a processor configured to control deactivation or activation of an application driving the in-vehicle controller depending on grades of a predetermined functional safety level of the application and to determine an order of the deactivation or the activation of the application when heat is generated in the controller.
