Abstract

Included are embodiments for wireless control and management. Some embodiments include receiving a first signal regarding a device condition of a service device in an environment, determining a condition type of the device condition, and sending a first request for to correct the device condition, based on the condition type. Some embodiments also include receiving a second signal indicating whether the device condition was corrected.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for wireless control and management comprising:
 a memory component that stores logic that when executed by the system, causes the system to perform at least the following:
 receive a first signal regarding a device condition of a service device in an environment; 
 determine a condition type of the device condition; 
 send a first request for to correct the device condition, based on the condition type; and 
 receive a second signal indicating whether the device condition was corrected. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the logic further causes the system to provide an interface indicating whether the device condition is corrected. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the device condition includes at least one of the following: an odor in the environment, an absence of perfume ingredients in the environment, a lighting intensity in the environment, and a power usage in the environment. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the logic further causes the system to determine whether the service device requires a replacement part. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein, in response to a determination that the service device requires the replacement part, the logic further causes the system to facilitate ordering the replacement part. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein, in response to receiving a response from the service device indicating that the device condition is not corrected, the logic further causes the system to determine whether there is a malfunction with the service device. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein in response to receiving a response indicating that the device condition is not corrected, the logic further causes the system to determine whether the device condition was affected by the service device in response to the first request. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a gateway device for wirelessly communicating with the service device. 
     
     
         9 . A method for wireless control and management comprising:
 receiving a first signal regarding a device condition of a first service device in an environment;   determining a condition type of the device condition;   sending a first request for a second service device to correct the device condition, based on the condition type;   receiving a second signal from the second service device indicating that the device condition is corrected;   sending, by a computing device, a second request to the first service device to determine whether the device condition is corrected;   receiving a response from the first service device regarding whether the device condition is corrected; and
 providing an interface indicating whether the device condition is corrected. 
   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the device condition includes at least one of the following: an odor in the environment, an absence of perfume ingredients in the environment, a lighting intensity in the environment, and a power usage in the environment. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising determining whether the second service device requires a replacement part. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising, in response to a determination that the second service device requires the replacement part, facilitating ordering the replacement part. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising, in response to receiving a response from the first service device indicating that the device condition is not corrected, determining whether there is a malfunction with the second service device. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising, in response to receiving a response from the first service device indicating that the device condition is not corrected, determining whether the device condition was affected by the second service device. 
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium for wireless control and management that stores a program that causes a computing device to perform at least the following:
 receive a first signal from a first service device regarding a device condition of the first service device an environment;   determine a condition type of the device condition;   send a first request for a second service device to correct the device condition, based on the condition type;   receive a second signal from the second service device indicating that the device condition is corrected;   send a second request to the first service device to determine whether the device condition is corrected;   receive a response from the first service device regarding whether the device condition is corrected; and   provide an interface indicating whether the device condition is corrected.   
     
     
         16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the device condition includes at least one of the following: an odor in the environment, an absence of perfume ingredients in the environment, a lighting intensity in the environment, and a power usage in the environment. 
     
     
         17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the program further causes the computing device to determine whether the second service device requires a replacement part. 
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 17 , wherein the program further causes the computing device to facilitate ordering the replacement part, in response to a determination that the second service device requires the replacement part. 
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the program further causes the computing device to determine whether there is a malfunction with the second service device, in response to receiving a response from the first service device indicating that the device condition is not corrected. 
     
     
         20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the program further causes the computing device to determine whether the device condition was affected by the second service device, in response to receiving a response from the first service device indicating that the device condition is not corrected.
