MONITORING OCCUPANCY OF A DESKTOP WITH A DESKTOP APPARATUS

摘要

An apparatus, methods and systems for a desktop occupancy sensing device are disclosed. One desktop apparatus includes an occupancy sensor (220), a charging interface (222), a controller (210), and a structure. The occupancy sensor (220) operates to sense occupancy proximate to the desktop apparatus (120). The controller (210) operates to determine occupancy of a desktop (140) based on the sensed occupation, and the controller (210) operates to communicate the determined occupancy to an upstream network. The occupancy sensor (220), the charging interface (222), and an interface (250) to the upstream network are disposed within the structure as a single unit, and the structure is adapted to be placed on or affixed to the desktop (140).
