Abstract

Luminous Shielding. Operational device that allows the call to trigger as a self-activated light response from the small noises and / or sounds that should not be seen on the indoor or outdoor action radio of a property unoccupied by its usual residents. If this happens, each pre-arranged device will react by turning on the light in its area of influence, and the effect may be the full illumination of the property if glass breakage or noise of a strange magnitude occurs. This preventive rationality aims to defend property in the absence of its owner, using the surprise factor as a deterrent.

Description

Luminous Shielding

Descriptive Report of Luminous Shield Utility Model Patent.

BACKGROUND:

It is curious how, over time, the only evolution that light switches have undergone has been merely aesthetic.

Countless designs, shapes, sizes and colors coexist in the market, but they all retain the same traditional function; to activate or deactivate the light source to which they access, through the user's deliberate and manual operation each time the brightness of the area of his activity is required.

Undoubtedly, this is the direct result of the unchanging functional design of such devices, linked to the sole purpose of enabling or inhibiting the action of artificial light, to improve the user's vision on the premises of their installation.

In short, for the sole sake of comfort, switches have been designed for the sole purpose of selling obscurity.

The technical innovation to which this patent application is subject, however, starts from a new concept, which considers light sources already installed in any scope or area (homes, offices, etc.) as a new security system, of course. dissuasive, which replaces or complements other traditional ones (metal structures, defenses, alarms, etc.).

Its objective is to implement in the chain of preventive elements a functional independence that allows a light switch to self-activate from a stand by. In the light of this conception, the concept of light shielding assumes that the Lighting of the property should behave intelligently in case of anomalies or unforeseen events, through automatic and permanent connection whenever noises occur within the range of its action.

The result is a new shaping of traditional light switch switches, which adds to the classic on / off positions in a new functional arrangement; the stand by position.

As will be shown, this new operating device allows the connection to trigger as a self-activated light response from the small noises and / or sounds that should not be seen on the indoor or outdoor action radio of a property unoccupied by its residents. usual. If this happens, each pre-arranged device will react by turning on the light in its area of influence, and the effect may be the full illumination of the property if glass breakage or noise of a strange magnitude occurs.

This preventive rationality aims to defend property in the absence of its owners, using the surprise factor as a deterrent.

DESCRIPTION:

According to the diagram (figure 1 in the actual circuit diagram) a conventionally installed microphone picks up the signal that unlocks the step responsible for determining the trigger threshold, followed by a preamplification whose output activates the HT 761 XB integrated circuit, responsible for process the signal and command the power step. Regarding Vcc (same as the rest of the circuit) it has the peculiarity of operating on one pole of the electric current (220 - 110 V) which facilitates its installation, whatever the environment (and regardless of how the network is configured electric).

INSTALLATION

Installation can be performed directly over the "off" of any existing light switch, whatever its technology.

However, in order not to get lost or change operations, as the "off" would become the "stand by", it is enough to add a new light switch, which allows to generate the third position that is missing (on - off- stand by).

Possibility A: Implement it directly on the "off" of the existing light switch.

Possibility B: Add another light switch (with the existing one) in order to generate functional independence (on-off-stand by).

Possibility C: Directly replace the existing light switch with one with three positions.

Whatever the chosen mode does not require changes or modifications to the power grid.

Hence, if you choose Possibility C simply remove the existing switch (in each environment) and install the new one instead of the previous one, using the same tools, the same terminals, the same wires and arrangement of the pre-existing switches.

OPERATION:

The user must activate the stand by position of the key (s) that have pre-arranged defensive action whenever they consider it useful: when to leave their home, when to retire to their room, or others.

Operated in this way, the switch does not cause the light to be cut immediately, but during a programmed lapse is kept equally accessible, so that the user has the opportunity to perform the last proper actions to leave the room in full convenience and safety.

Once the door is closed and the dwelling is unoccupied (if this is the case), the device flashes the light three times as if it were a warning and then turns it off completely. This is the last communication with the user to indicate that the light shielding system is operating in its normal operation.

The entire shielding system thus arranged keeps the light sources in the off position, and if there are no risky sound situations, it is certainly the house resident who activates the system, when in turn when placing the key in the lock , or turn the door access knob.

On the contrary, and just as effectively, the light shield will self-activate if the intention of intruders entering the property is verified by automatically switching on the pre-arranged lights or "stand by" when checking for noises and strange sounds in the your influence radio.

The light shield initially seeks to deter the activity of intruders by the unanticipated and anticipated effect of the interior self-illumination of the dwelling, which certainly weighs on who knows of its infringing action. However, if in spite of the warning light the intruder chooses By continuing his invasion activity, the light will accompany you evenly as long as your attempts last. Such an effect is achieved by a self-resetting of the key switch timer device, set to operate as many times as necessary to keep the light on, while the intruder (s) make minimal noise inside and / or outside (periphery). ) of the property.

Whether periodic or random, small or very small, the noise caused by the timer will automatically inhibit and return to zero the system.

In the event that the timer has been set to a 5-minute activity, and the noise or sound that triggered its operation is not repeated at any time and shape, in the programmed time the light turns off. But if during this lapse they repeat (also of any time and form) the count for the time fulfilled cannot advance, because it will always be going backwards.

And with a zero-inhibited counter, lighting will depend more on noise than on its own management.

The immediate result of such a mode of action is a uniformly accessible lighting system, as far as minimal sound activity so justifies (and without the possibility that it will turn off).

DEVICE AESTHETICS AND ITS MARKET RELATIONS: If you want to incorporate automation from existing light switches, simply add (to each) a new switch module of the same brand and color.

And since the simple view cannot decipher the reason for this new key (as it could be to activate another area) the operation is hidden for those people who are not owners or users.

If you choose to exchange (using a three position key) the impact of automation would also be nil, since the simple view cannot be differentiated from the common ones (whether it is 2 or 3 positions).

Hence even though it is by either way, the aesthetics of the property remains in all its features, preserving the line of the known, to satisfy those markets with classic or conservative trends.

PRODUCT INTEGRATION TO OTHER ALARM SYSTEMS:

Technically and functionally, the described light switches are independent of any other pre-existing alarm system in the home or property in general. However, the user can harmonically reconcile the light shield system with those, pre-disposing to both in the best way.

The security light system also provides the advantage of anticipating the action of intruders, by their activity in the preparatory tasks for the invasion of the house (footsteps, forces, manipulation of tools and others) The timely action of its operation when the intruders have not yet invaded housing discourages the pursuit of their actions, with a significant sense of opportunism.

Without prejudice to the main purpose described, the light shielding system resulting from the new configuration of these switches does not disturb the lighting = comfort concept; on the contrary, it reinforces it by enhancing the services that any light network can provide.

The effect on the psyche of dark people is known, and how much lightens their mood the effect of light. Therefore, the system allows, for example, that when residents return to their home, the traffic area will automatically light up only with the noise of their footsteps near the access door (or turning the key in the lock) and The system can also behave in each of the rooms where the user chooses to transit.

Likewise, the use of this new system can be incorporated into the daily routine of residents even when they stay at home, facilitating a more peaceful environment. Such is the case of single dwellers or multi-room dwellings, where the arrangement of the system in its "stand by" function allows them to move about their inner life with complete tranquility, knowing that any anomalous sound will be alerted to each other through the effects lights described as a warning quality to the user (and as a deterrent to the intruder).

There is one more detail to consider.

Throughout this process, the alarm, if it exists, is not known (and probably never will be known.) A deterrent light at the right time focuses more on the mood of an intruder than the operation of an alarm that does not know (of definition) the risk you run a property until it's late.

It should not be forgotten that the alarms, are presential and direct witnesses of the facts.

I mean.

They do not recognize the damage except when it has already been caused.

Of course, this is not our case or our proposal.

We operate (always) preemptively, preying on the intent of intruders, when they are still in the preparatory phase of invasion by the external release of footsteps, manipulation of tools, forcing, etc.

In other words, we activate from the outside (even though the light switch is inside), while the alarm (inside) only acts when the intruder is inside. This is the purpose of light shielding that turns idle light artifacts into virtual property guardians.
