20120163136 | ALARM CLOCK AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A WAKE-UP ALARM - An alarm clock comprises at least one sensor for detecting a body activity level of a human being and is provided to produce a sequence of alarm signals. Each alarm signal within said sequence is suppressible on the detection of a predetermined body activity level. The body activity level required to suppress an alarm signal increases with each subsequent alarm signal within said sequence. A corresponding method for controlling a wake-up alarm comprises the production of a sequence of alarm signals, each alarm signal within said sequence being suppressible on the detection of a predetermined body activity level of a human being, wherein the predetermined body activity level required to suppress an alarm signal increases with each subsequent alarm signal within said sequence. The body activity level of a human being is detected during said sequence, and a present alarm signal is suppressed when the body activity level presently detected is greater than the predetermined body activity level required to suppress the present alarm signal. | 06-28-2012 |

20140089024 | Control device for resource allocation - The present invention relates to a control device for providing a recommendation for at least one physical environment for an activity and for providing a recommendation for at least one activity in a physical environment. Such a control device is suitable for users working in flexible office environments and can thus be used for easily locating spaces that suit the users' needs for the current work task. Using historical data mined from embedded sensors in the offices in conjunction with a user's preferences as to how he likes a location to be, a suitability rating can be generated in real time. This enables users to find locations that can suit not only their tangible needs (i.e. luminaires, furniture, equipment, windows etc.) but also their intangible and personal needs (i.e. temperature, light level, busyness, noise levels, humidity, activity etc.). | 03-27-2014 |
