Resource manager, system, and method for communicating resource management information for smart energy and media resources
According to an aspect of the disclosure, a resource management platform, system and method of communicating resource management information for smart energy and media resources is provided. A resource management platform can include an interface configured to communicate media management information and energy management information. The resource management platform also includes a processor configured to detect an incoming communication to alter an operating condition in response to receiving the media management information or the energy management information. The processor can further be configured to initiate an output of media content in response to detecting media management information, and initiate altering an operating status of a device in response to detecting the energy management information. The processor can also initiate storing at least a portion of the media content and the energy management information within a memory.
1. A resource management platform comprising:
at least one interface, to enable access to a cloud service operable to communicate media management information based on a location of a mobile device relative to a site, the at least one interface being associated with the resource management platform at the site and to communicate with the mobile device;
a plurality of resources configured to provide media, the plurality of resources being controllable using the at least one interface;
at least one memory configured to store instructions;
at least one processor configured to execute the instructions stored in the at least one memory to:
determine one or more resources that are available among the plurality of resources that are controllable at the site using the at least one interface according to the location of the mobile device,
detect an incoming communication through the at least one interface as a request to alter the one or more resources that are determined as available in response to the media management information communicated through the cloud service according to the location of the mobile device relative to the site, the request to alter including at least one resource selected among the one or more resources that are determined as available,
initiate altering of an output of the at least one resource selected among the one or more resources that are determined as available in response to the incoming communication to thereby control the output of the at least one resource selected through the at least one interface, and
store information of the altered output of the at least one resource selected in association with the media management information communicated through the cloud service within the at least one memory, wherein the information stored is used to control a subsequent output of the at least one resource provided the at least one resource is selected by another request.
2. The resource management platform according to claim 1 , wherein, prior to the detecting of the incoming communication, the at least one processor further executes the instructions to:
determine a travel speed of the mobile device, and
determine the media and the one or more resources that are determined as available to be controlled at the site based on the determined travel speed of the mobile device and the location of the mobile device relative to the site.
3. The resource management platform according to claim 1 , wherein, prior to the detecting of the incoming communication, the at least one processor further executes the instructions to:
determine a travel time of the mobile device, and
determine the media and the one or more resources that are determined as available to be controlled to alter at the site based on the determined travel time of the mobile device and the location of the mobile device relative to the site.
4. A resource management platform comprising:
at least one interface, to enable access to a cloud service operable to communicate media management information based on a location of a mobile device relative to a site, the at least one interface being associated with the resource management platform at the site and to communicate with the mobile device;
at least one memory configured to store instructions and a plurality of media corresponding each of a plurality of sites including the site, the plurality of media being controllable to be output using the at least one interface;
at least one processor configured to execute the instructions stored in the at least one memory to:
determine a media corresponding to the site from among the plurality of media corresponding to the plurality of sites including the site,
detect an incoming communication through the at least one interface as a request to alter the determined media corresponding to the site in response to the media management information communicated through the cloud service according to the location of the mobile device relative to the site, the request to alter including at least one media selected among the plurality of media corresponding to the plurality of sites including the site,
initiate altering of an output of the at least one media selected among the plurality of media corresponding to the plurality of sites including the site in response to the incoming communication to thereby control the output of the at least one media selected through the at least one interface, and
store information of the altered output of the at least one media selected in association with the media management information communicated through the cloud service within the at least one memory, wherein the information stored is used to control a subsequent output of the at least one media provided the at least one media is selected by another request.
