  Processus pour décrire, influencer, et contrôler l'environement domotique d'un bâtiment. 



  Pour fixer les idées et plus particulièrement dans le cadre de la maison familiale, nous voyons dans l'environement domotique quatre pôles principaux qui sont (1) la gestion technique de la maison (contrôle des appareils domestiques, gestion de l'énergie, gestion de   la sécurité,...)   (2) gestion de la vie familiale (commerce électronique, télétravail, santé,...) (3) la culture (accès aux bases de données,...) (4) la communication dans la maison (TV, satellite, téléphone, Internet,). 



  Domaine auquel se rapporte l'invention. 



  L'invention concerne un processus pour décrire en détails un bâtiment avec tout son environement domotique, pour influencer cet environement, et le contrôler en local ou à distance via un réseau télématique Ainsi, l'invention concerne en un outil pour décrire l'environement domotique d'un bâtiment Elle comprend un processus pour décrire en trois dimensions et en temps les différents appareils, leurs emplacements, les protocoles domotiques, la maintenance de ces appareils Elle donne aussi une description immédiate du bâtiment Elle donne aussi la possibilité de consulter toutes ces informations à distance. 



  Etat de la technique. 



  Il n'y a aujourd'hui aucun processus répondant aux critères ci-dessus. L'absence d'un tel processus rend impossible la programmation à distance, par les spécialistes domoticiens et par les particuliers, d'une installation domotique complète en local ou à distance. Seuls existent des processus très spécifiques qui parfois permettent le contrôle à distance-souvent exclusivement par simple appel téléphonique-d'éléments domotiques. 



  Résumé de l'invention. 



  L'invention consiste en une grammaire"domotique"décrivant toute l'installation dans son contexte-le bâtiment-ainsi que des filtres transformant cette grammaire en d'autres grammaires succeptibles d'être visionnées via des résaux télématiques tant en local   (TV,.)   qu'à distance (satellite,   Internet,..)   Les avantages de l'invention sont qu'il est possible à distance ou en local d'obtenir une vue globale du bâtiment et d'influencer le comportement domotique.

   Et ceci à plusiers niveaux ; par exemple, au niveau de l'installateur, au niveau de l'utilisateur De plus, l'invention comporte un processus permettant de vérifier qu'une description particulière est conforme à la   grammaire"domotique"Ce   processus vérificateur peur lors de la vérification elle-même déclencher des actions diverses, comme par exemple des demandes de régulation d'appareils

 Description d'un mode de réalisation. 



  Il existe sur le marché des langages généraux permettant, après définition d'une grammaire, de décrire une situation Cette situation est ensuite vérifiée comme compatible avec la grammaire. Durant cette vérification différents processus peuvent être activés Un tel exemple est le langage SGML.

   L'invention contient la spécification d'une grammaireune DTD particulière-qui permet la description globale du bâtiment Par exemple, nous introduisons une classe de locateurs permettant d'indiquer précisément la position dans l'espace, la position dans le temps, des quantités physiques (pour la régulation), toutes autres quantités abstraites ne correspondant pas à des quantités physiques (barcodes, normes domotiques,..) Le"parser"SGML vérifie qu'une description spécifique du bâtiment est conforme à la grammaire, et donc en particulier aux normes domotiques (tous les standards actuels ou futurs peuvent être pris en compte) Le"parser"peut simultanément créer des descriptions (aussi lisibles et utilisables via l'Internet ou tout autre réseau) par exemple via des pages HTML et/ou VRML Ces descriptions peuvent être multiples :

   description en plusieurs dimensions (3D), description de l'évolution dans le temps, combinaisons de ces descriptions   Le"parser"   peut aussi déclencher des processus divers par exemple, initialisation de matériel domotique, modification de celui-ci, interrogation de l'utilisateur sur ses desiderata (réglages,   arrêts,..)   Ceci correspond bien à ce que l'on entend par système SGML,   c'est-à-dire. "A system   that includes an SGML parser, an entity manager, and both or either of a) an implementation of one of more SGML applications ; and/or b) facilities for a user to implement SGML applications, with access to the SGML parser and entity manager" (Charles F. Goldfarb : The SGML Handbook Clarendon Press Oxford, 1990, ISBN 0-19-853737-9 Pages 128-129). 



  Par exemple, les pages VRML seront générées d'après la description géométrique du bâtiment Elles contiendront éventuellement des boutons permettant de visualiser le comportement domotique (par exemple, au moyen d'apples JAVA) ou d'influencer sur ce comportement (régulation) Remarquons que tous les outils existent pour réaliser cette manière d'exécuter l'invention différents systèmes SGML, des langages de filtrage (PERL, PYTHON,...), des browsers de visualisation éventuellement via un réseau On peut en particulier regarder partie de cette invention comme la définition d'un souslangage de SGML propre aux processus domotiques Tout comme HyTime ou XML sont des sous-langages de SGML ayant d'autres particularités propres.

   Remarquons que nous entendons processus domotiques au sens large des procédures industrielles sprécifiques (par exemple, des constuctions mécaniques) sont des processus domotiques du bâtiment industriel Néanmoins, l'objectif majeur de l'invention est la gestion domotique de la maison familiale (gestion de l'énergie, des appareils domotiques, de la sécurité,..)

  Process for describing, influencing, and controlling the home automation environment of a building.



  To fix ideas and more particularly in the context of the family home, we see in the home automation environment four main poles which are (1) the technical management of the house (control of household appliances, energy management, management of security, ...) (2) management of family life (electronic commerce, telework, health, ...) (3) culture (access to databases, ...) (4) communication in house (TV, satellite, telephone, Internet,).



  Field to which the invention relates.



  The invention relates to a process for describing in detail a building with all its home automation environment, for influencing this environment, and controlling it locally or remotely via a telematic network. Thus, the invention relates to a tool for describing the home automation environment of a building It includes a process to describe in three dimensions and in time the different devices, their locations, home automation protocols, the maintenance of these devices It also gives an immediate description of the building It also gives the possibility of consulting all this information remotely.



  State of the art.



  There is currently no process that meets the above criteria. The absence of such a process makes it impossible to remotely program, by home automation specialists and individuals, a complete home automation installation locally or remotely. Only very specific processes exist which sometimes allow remote control - often exclusively by simple telephone call - of home automation elements.



  Summary of the invention.



  The invention consists of a "home automation" grammar describing the entire installation in its context - the building - as well as filters transforming this grammar into other grammars that can be viewed via telematic networks both locally (TV ,. ) only remotely (satellite, Internet, etc.). The advantages of the invention are that it is possible, remotely or locally, to obtain a global view of the building and to influence home automation behavior.

   And this on several levels; for example, at the level of the installer, at the level of the user. In addition, the invention includes a process making it possible to verify that a particular description conforms to the "home automation" grammar. - even trigger various actions, such as requests for device regulation

 <Desc / Clms Page number 2>

 Description of an embodiment.



  There are general languages on the market allowing, after definition of a grammar, to describe a situation This situation is then verified as compatible with grammar. During this verification different processes can be activated. One such example is the SGML language.

   The invention contains the specification of a particular DTD grammar which allows the global description of the building For example, we introduce a class of landlords allowing to indicate precisely the position in space, the position in time, physical quantities (for regulation), all other abstract quantities which do not correspond to physical quantities (barcodes, home automation standards, etc.) The SGML "parser" verifies that a specific description of the building conforms to the grammar, and therefore in particular to home automation standards (all current or future standards can be taken into account) The "parser" can simultaneously create descriptions (also readable and usable via the Internet or any other network) for example via HTML and / or VRML pages These descriptions can be multiple:

   description in several dimensions (3D), description of the evolution over time, combinations of these descriptions The "parser" can also trigger various processes for example, initialization of home automation equipment, modification of it, interrogation of the user on his wishes (adjustments, stops, ..) This corresponds to what is meant by SGML system, that is to say. "A system that includes an SGML parser, an entity manager, and both or either of a) an implementation of one of more SGML applications; and / or b) facilities for a user to implement SGML applications, with access to the SGML parser and entity manager "(Charles F. Goldfarb: The SGML Handbook Clarendon Press Oxford, 1990, ISBN 0-19-853737-9 Pages 128-129).



  For example, the VRML pages will be generated according to the geometric description of the building. They will possibly contain buttons allowing to visualize the home automation behavior (for example, by means of JAVA calls) or to influence on this behavior (regulation) Note that all the tools exist to realize this way of executing the invention different SGML systems, filtering languages (PERL, PYTHON, ...), browsers of visualization possibly via a network We can in particular look at part of this invention as the definition of an SGML sub-language specific to home automation processes Just like HyTime or XML are SGML sub-languages with other specific features.

   Note that we mean home automation processes in the broad sense of the specific industrial procedures (for example, mechanical constructions) are home automation processes of the industrial building Nevertheless, the main objective of the invention is the home automation management of the family home (management of the energy, home automation devices, security, etc.)
