Automatic allocation of physical facilities
Physical space is allocated to members of a group to maximize collaborative efforts. Each member of the group is determined based on presence or detection of a wireless device. As the members of the group are wirelessly detected, physical space may be assigned based on historical usage, calendar entries, physical needs, and infrastructure traits. Desks, office space, conference rooms, and other facilities may thus be dynamically reserved to maximize collaboration and yet efficiently utilize existing physical spaces.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a server, a notification specifying a wireless device requesting an access to a wireless network;
determining, by the server, an identifier specifying the wireless network;
determining, by the server, a physical space that is associated with the identifier specifying the wireless network; and
assigning, by the server, the physical space to the wireless device requesting the access to the wireless network specified by the identifier.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the wireless device is associated with a group of wireless devices.
3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising assigning the physical space to the group of wireless devices.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a cellular identifier specified by the wireless device requesting the access to the wireless network.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a cellular identifier specified by the notification.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating a reservation associated with the physical space.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating a reservation associated with the wireless device.
8. A system, comprising:
a hardware processor; and
a memory device, the memory device storing instructions, the instructions when executed causing the hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving a notification specifying a wireless device requesting an access to a wireless network;
determining an identifier associated with the wireless network;
determining a physical space that is associated with the identifier; and
assigning the physical space to the wireless device requesting the access to the wireless network.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise determining the wireless device is associated with a group of wireless devices.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise assigning the physical space to the group of wireless devices.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise determining a cellular identifier associated with the wireless device requesting the access to the wireless network.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise determining a cellular identifier specified by the notification.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise generating a reservation associated with the physical space.
14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise generating a reservation associated with the wireless device.
15. A memory device storing instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving a notification specifying a wireless device requesting an access to a wireless network;
determining an identifier associated with the wireless network;
determining a physical space that is associated with the identifier; and
assigning the physical space to the wireless device requesting the access to the wireless network.
16. The memory device of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise determining the wireless device is associated with a group of wireless devices.
17. The memory device of claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise assigning the physical space to the group of wireless devices.
18. The memory device of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise determining a cellular identifier associated with the wireless device requesting the access to the wireless network.
19. The memory device of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise determining a cellular identifier specified by the notification.
20. The memory device of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise generating a reservation associated with the physical space.
