A method for generating an operational rule associated with a building management system includes identifying, with a processing device, a first pattern associated with a series of operational observations corresponding to a property of the building management system, correlating a first contextual attribute with the first pattern, and deriving the operational rule at least in part based on the first pattern and the first contextual attribute.
Please help me write a proper abstract based on the patent claims. CLAIM: 1. A system configured to generate an operational rule associated with a building management system, the system comprising: a hardware computer processor that controls at least one of a mechanical component and electrical component of a building, the processor configured to identify patterns among data points provided by one or more building sensors, annotating the patterns using contextual attributes that affect building operational parameters, and automatically extracting the rule based on a real-time building context, wherein the hardware computer processor operates the at least one mechanical component and electrical component based on the extracted rule. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the hardware computer processor comprises: a pattern extractor configured to identify a first pattern associated with a series of operational observations corresponding to a property of the building management system; a context correlator configured to correlate a first contextual attribute with the first pattern; and a rule deriver configured to derive the operational rule at least in part based on the first pattern and the first contextual attribute. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the series includes a plurality of operational observations taken over a period of time. 4. The system of claim 2, wherein the property is a temperature setpoint. 5. The system of claim 2, further comprising a knowledge base including a plurality of predetermined contextual attributes, wherein the context correlator is further configured to select the first contextual attribute from among the predetermined contextual attributes. 6. The system of claim 2, further comprising a data point labeler configured to associate a contextual classification with the property, wherein the contextual classification comprises the first contextual attribute. 7. The system of claim 2, wherein the context correlator is further configured to associate a contextual classification with the property and correlate the contextual classification with the first pattern, wherein the first contextual attribute comprises a contextual factor, and the operational rule further is derived at least in part based on the contextual classification. 8. The system of claim 2, wherein the pattern extractor is further configured to identify a second pattern associated with the series of operational observations, the context correlator is further configured to correlate a second contextual attribute with the second pattern, the first pattern is based on a first resolution, the second pattern is based on a second resolution, and deriving the operational rule is at least in part further based on the second pattern and the second contextual attribute. 9. The system of claim 2, wherein deriving the operational rule further comprises applying a constraint to the first pattern or to the first contextual attribute. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one mechanical component and at least one electrical component includes at least one of a heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system, a cooling device, a lighting device, a shading system, and a security device.
