HOSPITALITY PROPERTY MANAGEMENT TOOL AND SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USE OF SAME
A hospitality property management tool and system and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the system, the system includes a thermostat located in a room at a hospitality establishment having multiple rooms. The thermostat stores various types of thermostat data and transmits the thermostat data to a server, which may be remote. The server receives and stores the thermostat data. The server may render a map view of the hospitality establishment based on obtained map data. The map view may include a graphical representation of the room and other rooms at the hospitality establishment. The server may annotate the graphical representation of the room with at least a portion of the thermostat data.
1 . A system for property management, the system comprising:
room data including physical quality assurance data, program quality assurance data, interactive data, and environmental data, the room data being associated with a thermostat in a room at an establishment having a plurality of rooms;

the program quality assurance data being, relative to the thermostat, software state data of current operations of system software and application software;
the interactive data being, relative to the thermostat, information about guest-display-based interactions with the thermostat;
the environmental data being, relative to the thermostat, information about guest- n on-display-based interactions with the thermostat; and
a server located remote to the room, the server configured to receive the room data.
2 . The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the establishment is selected from the group consisting of furnished multi-family residences, dormitories, lodging establishments, hotels, hospitals, and multi-unit environments.
3 . The system as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:
the server rendering a map view of the establishment based on obtained map data, the map view including a graphical representation of the room and the plurality of rooms at the establishment; and
the server annotating the graphical representation of the room with at least a portion of the room data.
4 . The system as recited in claim 3 , wherein the server renders a 3-D perspective view of the establishment.
5 . The system as recited in claim 3 , wherein the server renders a multi-floor view of the establishment.
6 . The system as recited in claim 3 , wherein the server renders a 2-D top plan view of at least a portion the establishment.
7 . The system as recited in claim 3 , wherein the server renders the map view of a floor of the establishment.
8 . The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the room data further comprises identification data, the identification data including a location of the thermostat.
9 . The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the room data further comprises self-diagnostic data, the self-diagnostic data being information relative to faults in the physical quality assurance data, the program quality assurance data, the interactive data, and the environmental data.
10 . The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the thermostat further comprises thermostat circuitry.
11 . The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the thermostat further comprises thermostat circuitry, the thermostat circuitry monitoring and controlling heating and cooling.
12 . The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the physical quality assurance data is selected from the group consisting of online/offline status, power state, display control status, display connection status, HDMI interface status, control interface status, memory usage, unit up-time, and hardware installation progress.
13 . The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the program quality assurance data is selected from the group consisting of program guide status, debug console log, software usage, and software installation progress.
14 . The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the interactive data is selected from the group consisting of guest configuration data, television channel viewing, program viewing, Internet history, and program guide interaction.
15 . The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the environmental data is selected from the group consisting of amenity interaction, lighting status, thermostat status, window shades status, and door status.
16 . A system for property management, the system comprising:
room data including physical quality assurance data, program quality assurance data, and interactive data, the room data being associated with a thermostat in a room at an establishment having a plurality of rooms;
the physical quality assurance data being, relative to the thermostat, physical state data of a current condition of hardware and cable connections;
the program quality assurance data being, relative to the thermostat, software state data of current operations of system software and application software;
the interactive data being, relative to the thermostat, information about guest-display-based interactions with the thermostat; and
a server located remote to the room, the server rendering a map view of the establishment based on obtained map data, the map view including a graphical representation of the room and the plurality of rooms at the establishment, and
the server annotating the graphical representation of the room with at least a portion of the room data.
17 . The system as recited in claim 16 , wherein the thermostat further comprises thermostat circuitry.
