Abstract:
A technique is described herein for facilitating the programming and control of a collection of devices. In one manner of operation, the technique involves: receiving signals from the collection of devices that describe a sequence of events that have occurred in operation of the collection of devices; storing the signals; determining a rule associated with the sequence of events using a machine-trained sequence-detection component (SDC), the rule identifying a next event in the sequence of events; determining whether the rule is viable; and, if the rule is determined to be viable, sending control information to at least one device in the collection of devices. The control information instructs the identified device(s) to perform the next event that has been identified.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer-implemented control system for controlling a collection of devices in a local control environment, comprising:\n hardware logic circuitry, the hardware logic circuitry corresponding to: (a) one or more hardware processors that perform operations by executing machine-readable instructions stored in a memory, and/or (b) one or more other hardware logic components that perform operations using a task-specific collection of logic gates, the operations including: receiving signals produced by the collection of devices that describe a sequence of events that have occurred in operation of the collection of devices; storing the signals; determining a rule associated with the sequence of events using a machine-trained sequence-detection component (SDC), the rule identifying a next event in the sequence of events; determining whether the rule is viable; and if the rule is determined to be viable, sending control information to at least one device in the collection of devices based on the next event that has been identified, the control information governing behavior of said at least one device.
