Abstract
The disclosed automatic fan is a typical domestic fan with a mechanism implemented
through Sensors based Internet of Things [IOT] system recognizing human existence under
the said automatic fan. The said IOT system contains Infrared Array Sensor Grid-EYE that
identifies the presence of human to automatically control On or Off. The said IOT system
with Sensors is found like a small box that is packed along with any domestic fan to make it
automatic fan. The system is supported by Machine Learning algorithm that is intelligent
enough to work with IOT system to frequently monitor for appearance of human being. It
detects the appearance of human being through series of conditional checks 1. Appearance
of an Object 2. Validating Human and 3. Monitoring Human. The system as said is
automatic interms of Switching ON or OFF depends on Object Recognition. The said
system is capable of recognizing human presence within its benefit range say for 150cm
around. The said system has improved performance in identifying object, recognizing it,
validating human, monitoring for unconditional time as implemented as IOT with Machine
Learning.

Automatic Electric Cooling Fan System; a device and thereof
The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me:
Automatic Electric Cooling Fan System; a device and thereof
[0001] For many years the Electric Cooling Fans are is use for purposes serving people at Home, Meeting Halls & Industry where there are One or More Fans are being used as per the requirement to serve the capacity. The typical cooling fans are manually controlled using typical Switch through familiar On & Off operations or through remote control. This invention has been specially devised in order to provide an improved Electric Cooling Fan system to serve the need to allow self-control and automation of simple, cheap, effective and easy to install system where the manual controlling either through typical Switch or Remote of any kind is avoided.
[0002] The device in accordance with this invention comprises a set of sensors that forms an Internet of Things [IoT] system controls the functionality of Fan[s] based on the availability of the Human in close proximity to it. This system implements Infrared Array Sensor Grid EYE with control circuit to recognize human appearance under the said Fan.
[0003] The system uses Object Recognition to relentlessly monitor for human appearance and enables switching on or off based on the human recognition data.
[0004] The system uses Computer Program to control the IoT to allow sensing multiple human appearances and prevents malfunction due to dense human presence in case of meeting space or conference settings.
[0005] Normally the sensor system that is capable of recognising human presence of any number irrespective of the capacity of the room or hall or setting is still controlled by IoT during decision making in Switching the Fan ON or OFF as assisted by the Computer Program implemented which keeps track of the number of human presence to manage the function of the said Fan.
This device is installed as an independent component on any said Fan in any circumstances allow it work ruthlessly irrespective of the place or number of people in the place or the manufacturer of the Electric Cooling Fan.
[0006] A small clamp like holding means attached with the device makes connection with the Fan. The device gets attached with the Fan through the holding means allow said Fan autonomous and self-controlled in terms of automatically switching On or Off.
The invention may be better understood with reference to the illustrations of embodiments of the invention which:
[0007] Figure 1 is a structure diagram of an improved electrical cooling fan with automation loaded
[0008] Figure 2 is a block diagram of the improved electrical cooling fan with detailed IOT based system implemented
[0009] Figure 3 is a flow diagram of control structure of the system
[0010] The improved automatic electric cooling fan structure [1] as shown in Fig.1 which is a typical fan apparatus that has automation and control ability implemented. To prevent unintentional removal of the holding means [2] there is provided in the side of the fan positioned outward. If desired the cover may have a gripping hold formed thereon to provide secure grip when fixed on fan.
[0011] The improved automatic electric cooling fan as shown in Fig.2 is further supported by Internet of Things based Sensor arrangement [3] or composition whereas the sensor mechanism is further supplied with program control [4] to monitor for object appearance. The sensor mechanism as shown in Fig.2 has Infrared Array Sensor [3] that is capable of sensing or identifying the object or validating human presence. The Sensor mechanism associated with IoT comprises of Image Sensing Algorithm [4] that does further validation with 3D image analysis similar to ideal human through comparison. The sensor is able to identify human appearance or presence still to improve and ensure the efficiency of the entire system the image analysis is completed.
[0012] The improved automatic electric cooling fan as shown in Fig.3 is loaded with control mechanism to self-decide and self-control operations. Typically, a Fan mechanism works as simple as between two states ON and OFF. This implementation consists of set of operations or tasks to be completed by the IoT mechanism in maintaining or invoking Fan. The system has the following operation to be done in sequence
i. Identification of Appearance of Objects ii. Recognizing Human Presence [2] iii. Validating Human Presence [3] iv. Invoke or Direct Fan Operation [3,4] v. Keep the Counter updated [5] vi. Repeat Step 1 to Step 5 vii. Invoke Fan to Switch Off if the Counter is set to 0.
[0013] The Fan operation actually happens in two ways, 1. Switched Off : Initially the Fan system is in Off State where the system referred to as Automatic Fan disclosed in this invention looks for appearance of objects. Objects once identified through the sensor mechanism [3] are further validated using the 3D image analysis [4] for ensuring human appearance to invoke Fan to Switch On automatically without any external control. 2. Switched On : Once the Fan is Switched On, It has started operating thus consistently looking for objects to appear. If objects appear, the sensor mechanism further increases the Counter Value [5]. The 3D Image Analysis used in this invention for validating human does keep track of disappearance of objects also with consistently deducting Counter value. This process is on and on till the last human disappears from the sensing area within reach to turn the Fan to Off state.
