MULTI-USER GEOFENCING FOR BUILDING AUTOMATION

摘要

A building automation server includes a memory, a communication interface and a controller that is coupled to the memory and the communication interface. The memory is for storing a database comprising a plurality of user accounts, wherein each user account includes an associated building location of a building, an associated geofence defined relative to the building location, and one or more group member ID's, wherein each of the one or more group member ID's is associated with a corresponding mobile device with location services, and each user account identifies a geofence status for each of the one or more group member ID's, where the geofence status indicates whether the corresponding mobile device for each of the one or more group member ID is within the geofence associated with the user account or outside of the geofence.
