Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving a model view specified by a user via a user device, wherein the model view includes a floor plan of a premise corresponding to the user, and the model view further includes location information of one or more sensors or one or more actuators that have been identified by the user as being within the floor plan of the premises corresponding to the user; generating, via a processor, a template model view based on the received model view by removing, via the processor, identifying information associated with the user storing the template model view in a memory for access by another user, wherein the template model view is used by the other user to identify location information of one or more sensors or one or more actuators within the floor plan that corresponds to a premises of the other user; comparing the template model view with stored template model views; and classifying the template model view based on the comparison, wherein removing identifying information associated with the user includes removing the location information of the one or more sensors or one or the more actuators that have been identified by the user as being within the floor plan of the premises corresponding to the user.
