1. A computer implemented method, comprising: a processor collecting input data from a plurality of sensors in a space, the input data including a plurality of sequential data points corresponding to the individual sensors, wherein each data point represents a sensor event; a processor analyzing the input data received from the plurality of sensors to determine a sequence pattern of data points from the input data, an instance of the sequence pattern of data points being at least partially discontinuous; and a processor controlling a control element in the space based on the determined sequence pattern of data points.
