Description

Communication means in the home automation installation
Technical field
The present invention relates between the element of home automation installation (installation) order or data that transmission is used to wake up self power supply component.Described element for example passes through radio frequency and interactive communication, and specifically, they can comprise exciter, transducer and control point.
Exciter is powered on commercial electrical network usually, and transducer and control point self power usually, are for example powered by dry cell or rechargeable battery.
Self power supply component goes wrong in such facility once having bi-directional type: how to avoid intercepting lastingly of radio-frequency transmitter, the result who intercepts lastingly of radio-frequency transmitter increases power consumption and therefore reduces autonomy.
In a lot of inventions, this problem has been proposed.
Background technology
In first group of invention, patent application WO00/28776 discloses the receiver that wakes up in the set time.Therefore, they need comprise by at least one clockwork of permanent supply.In application EP1 404 043, similar process has been described.
Router is used in second group of invention, for example because on commercial network router is powered, perhaps because by the macro-energy memory router is powered, so do not produce power issue for router.
Patent application EP1 545 076 discloses and has used the relaying of automobile as the portable set in the cellular network.In JP59092133 and JP11276343 application, found similar use.In relating to the field of home automation, patent US6,525,645 have also described the use of the transponder that is positioned at automobile and is powered by its storage battery.Suppose that identification code is effective, be forwarded device by the signal that portable set sent that the driver held and transmit in the same manner, but have stronger power.
Patent US7,027,416 has also described the home automation installation type: each self power supply unit makes it possible to reduce distance and power consumption by low power communication and router communication.Router with low level signaling in the different agreement of employed agreement, and carry out interactive communication with higher power and according to different frequency range.Communication between two elements need be used at least one router, uses several routers usually.Suppose that self power supply component periodically or is randomly forbidden according to the duty ratio of setting up in advance.Must be warned such mode of operation with the router that such element is communicated by letter, and it is considered with the definition transmission time.Do not suppose directly interactive communication of element, this is for example to make the such fact of judgement via telephone network owing to the characteristic of the classification of network and by this locality and/or remote controllers.Controller is also managed main routing table based on the knowledge of local routing table.
The use of the transponder of " mailbox " type has been described in the 3rd group of invention.
Patent US4,803,487 handle the situation of the beep-pager with long-range displaying device.For example, the main receiver or first receiver receive message and it are stored in the memory.Receiver is powered by high-capacity battery, rather than economizing type equipment, if beep-pager is not the message destination, then points out dormancy on the given time interval.Main receiver is communicated by letter with remote display by possible two-way device.Carry out linking between the display and first receiver with the agreement different with the communication protocol that is used to send a message to each beep-pager.When excited users was controlled, the transmitter of remote display was inquired first receiver, and first receiver sends to the information in the memory of being comprised in the receiver of remote display thereafter.
Therefore, prior art equipment is called out on the labyrinth of supporting some communicators or agreement, or provide single communicator, but described single communicator has the limited performance that is used for portable remote controller, so the viewpoint of the power consumption from reduce transmission rather than receive is handled problems.Specifically, the transducer (it is difficult to change battery) that is not easy to visit when portable remote controller is when substituting, and is that self powers or is actually when portable when intelligent relaying further, can go wrong.
In addition, application US2006/0025181 discloses a kind of facility that is included in the element of network communication.In addition, in the described element can communicate by letter with self power supply terminal of a part that does not form network.This self power supply terminal is operated according to waking up with the alternate cycles of dormant stage, thereby optimizes its autonomy.Therefore, want data are sent to terminal and terminal is under the situation of dormant stage at the element of network, before reality sent to this network element with data, it must be with storage in memory, and waited for that self power supply terminal wakes information up.In this facility, terminal is very limited with the probability that the element of network communicates: its send with receive in only can communicate by letter with discrete component.

Embodiment
In the represented home automation installation INST of Fig. 1, various element SRU, MMI, SBU, ACT1, ACT2, ACT3 communicate on by the same radio frequency network RFN that two-wire indicated.Come communication between the executive component by the bi-directional transceiver RX/TX that distinguishes with the address or the identifier of each element.Described facility comprises element ACT1, the ACT3 by electrical network EPN power supply, and other element SRU, MMI, ACT2 self power supply.Can pass through other device (for example, specifically infrared transmission device) and guarantee communication between the element of network.Each element uses same communication protocol.
Yi @SRU represents that self powered sensor of its address or sensor unit SRU are digital quantity and/or the control command set up of threshold value based on the comparison with the value transform of weather or comfort parameters.
Yi @MMI represents that the man-machine interface MMI frame of its address makes it possible to user command is sent to element or show state message.These two elements provide electric energy by self.Man-machine interface is the portable remote controller that for example has keyboard or screen.
Yi @ACT1 represents that the first dirver ACT1 of its address activates controlling of roller blind window, door or gate.On electrical network EPN, this first dirver is powered.
Yi @ACT2 represents that the second exciter ACT2 of its address activates controlling of inner solar energy protection.This second exciter self power supply.
Yi @ACT3 represents that the 3rd exciter ACT3 of its address activates lighting device.It comprises for example dimmer and fluorescent lamp.EPN powers to it by electrical network.
The whole set of other element of the network that the address of each element of network or identifier may be communicated by letter with it for them is known.During the step that well known to a person skilled in the art configuration or pairing process, carry out the record of address or identifier.Therefore, exciter knows that they can receive the control unit of control command from it.
All elements of the automatic control network RFN of family (the especially element of self powering) use identical KI, are referred to as the house key, make it possible to discern the membership qualification of family's automatic control network like this.
By dry cell,,, described element of self powering is powered by being used for nonelectrical energy is converted to the possible device (for example photoelectric sensor) of electric energy alternatively by storage battery, electrochemical capacitance, fuel cell.
The particular element SBU of described facility is called as " replacement element ".Preferably, on the electrical network EPN that is illustrated by the broken lines, this element is powered.As distortion, described replacement element self power supply, it realizes the bigger autonomy of other self power supply component of communication means of the present invention but have comparison.Replace the address table Shi Wei @SBU of element.It comprises the memory MEM that allows stored information.Advantageously, replace element self and be comprised in the exciter by mains supply, but it can be only to have the discrete component that allows to realize according to the function of communication means of the present invention.
The advantage of this method is, allows to enter park mode as self power supply component of the destination of information with the duty ratio (ratio between the duration of awakening phase and the duration of dormant stage) of very little value.Otherwise the replacement element is intercepted enough duty ratios lastingly or is recently operated with enough duties at least, to guarantee the reception of any radio message.
Fig. 2 has schematically shown the operator scheme of this method, wherein, carries out described pattern by replacing element SBU.
At first step E21, to replace element and receive information from transmitting element, transmitting element is not to be addressed to the replacement element, but the destination is for replacing the known receiving element of self powering of element.Further describe and allow to replace appointment or the learning method that element is determined self power supply receiving element (some self power supply receiving element).
In second step e 22, replace element and determine that self power supply receiving element is in park mode.If be not this situation, then this method is recycled to initial radio and intercepts the stage.If situation is opposite, then replace element determine self the power supply receiving element be dormancy, thereafter, enter step e 23, in step e 23, replace element with information stores in its memory MEM, and confirm correctly to receive information by sending confirmation of receipt message, to wake transmitting element up.Replace element and replace himself address with the address that receives self power supply component in this confirmation of receipt message.Therefore, in this example,, information is sent to receiving element effectively for transmitting element.
Under the situation of the receiving element inquiry of powering by self,, replace element the information that is recorded in the memory is delivered to described element in the 4th step e 24.Described inquiry comprises the message by the concrete addressing of self power supply receiving element.Perhaps, described inquiry comprises the message of being broadcasted by the receiving element of self powering that does not have specific purpose ground when waking up.
Fig. 3 illustrates application according to the method for first example of the exchange between the element with timing diagram form, and the time carries out from top to bottom.
The vertical line on the left side is specified self power supply receiving element SAU, and it comprises in self power supply component of described facility one by example: transducer SRU, man-machine interface MMI or the second exciter ACT2.The vertical line on the right comprises replaces element SBU.Suppose that replacing element has determined self power supply receiving element, vice versa.
Under initial condition, for example before finished its activity by its internal clocking or by user's action or because of any other receiving element SAU that self powers former thereby that wake up.Thereafter, enter first step E31, in step e 31, the receiving element notice is replaced element, and it will enter park mode, and " SLP " represents it by message.When receiving this message, replace element and confirm to receive (confirming not to be illustrated), and in second step e 32, it is converted to high state with inner designator SLP, thereby write down the dormancy situation of the receiving element of self powering.
Part hereto, self power supply receiving element enter park mode, are represented the state of park mode by two vertical lines.
At third step E33, message MSG is addressed to self power supply receiving element, described message rises from another element (be called as transmitting element and be expressed as XXX) of described facility.This transmitting element XXX is arbitrarily.As example, want to pass the signal to self power supply receiving element (portable remote controller that comprises man-machine interface MMI) and in fact carried out and control order.Perhaps, transmitting element XXX wants the value of the threshold of reaction that it is new to indicate portable remote controller to transducer SRU.
Be in this message of not perception of receiving element of self powering of park mode, but pick up this message by replacing element.
In the 4th step e 34, replace the state of element SBU testing inner designator SLP.Be in the latter under the situation of high state, message MSG be recorded in replace in the element, and trigger confirmation of receipt in the 5th step e 35.During this step, replace the identity that element is obtained receiving element, that is to say that it indicates the identifier or the address of the receiving element of self powering in confirmation of receipt message, rather than the address of himself.Thereafter, transmitting element notices and has suitable reception, and therefore finishes current transmission session, sends and do not attempt taking to make network to produce unnecessary congested multichannel.
After receiving element SAU wakes up (ends of two vertical lines), enter the 6th step e 36, in step e 36, the receiving element notice is replaced element, and it is in activation once more, and " AWK " represents it by message.In the 7th step e 37, this has the effect that internal identifier SLP is changed into low state, thereafter, enters the 8th step e 38, in step e 38, sends and is stored in the message MSG that replaces in the element, to wake receiving element up.In this step e 38, replace element and can replace the identifier of himself with the identifier of transmitting element.Therefore, described communication means is transparent for receiving element, that is to say, with regard to the receiving element of being considered, it directly receives message MSG from transmitting element seemingly in the everything generation.
In first example, therefore, carry out second step e 22 of described communication means according to the test of the characteristic of the resting state of self being transmitted by receiving element.
Fig. 4 comprises second example, wherein, differentially carries out the step e 22 of described communication means.Described second embodiment is based on the detection that lacks to the response of the message that is addressed to self power supply receiving element.The lacking of this response, be assumed that relevant with the park mode of self power supply receiving element.
At first step E41, message MSG is addressed to the destination is self power supply receiving element SAU, it rises from another element that is called as transmitting element and is represented as the described facility of XXX.In the case, described receiving element is in park mode, represents with two vertical lines.This message of not perception of receiving element is picked up it and replace element, thereafter, replaces element and triggers overtime initialization in second step e 42.At this time-out period, replace element and for example test any response that whether exists from self power supply receiving element with the form of the affirmation that receives.In more common mode, replace element test and on the part of receiving element of self powering, whether have the transmission activity.This test forms the theme of third step E43, if on the part of receiving element of self powering, do not detect radio activity as yet at overtime duration, and conclusion is that it is in the park mode state, and then third step E43 is to come recording messages MSG by the replacement element and to finish.In the case, enter confirmation of receipt the 4th step e 44.During this step, replace the identity that element is obtained receiving element, that is to say that it indicates identifier or the address rather than the address of himself of the receiving element of self powering in confirmation of receipt.
Thereafter, transmitting element notices and has suitable reception, and therefore finishes current transmission session, sends and do not attempt taking to make network to produce unnecessary congested multichannel.
Receiving element SAU wake up or more generally return operation (ends of two vertical lines) enter the 5th step e 45 afterwards, in this step, receiving element notice is replaced element, and it is in activation once more, " AWK " represents this situation by message.This has the feasible effect that enters the 6th step e 46, in the 6th step e 46, sends and is stored in the message MSG that replaces in the element, to wake receiving element up.In this step e 46, replace element and can replace the identifier of himself with the identifier of transmitting element.Therefore, described communication means is transparent for receiving element, that is to say, with regard to the receiving element of being considered, it just takes place seemingly the everything feelings, and directly to receive message MSG from transmitting element the same.
In alternate embodiment, according to the transmit leg of Indication message but do not specify the broadcast mode of any specific destination, send the dormancy that comprises receiving element or the message of wake-up states by receiving element.Thereafter, the replacement element of only being paid close attention to uses it.
An identical replacement element can that is to say self to replace some receiving elements of self powering, and receives and write down the message of destination for some receiving elements of self powering at least, supposes that it has the knowledge of these receiving elements of self powering respectively.
Fig. 5 describes the method for replacing element of specifying.At first step E51, the order that the action by the equipment on the selected replacement element SBU will enter mode of learning sends to selected replacement element SBU.For example, described action can be such fact: will replace element SBU insertion it is linked to the electrical socket of electric power network.Be included among in the exciter one if replace element, then described action can be from sending the certain programmed signal with the remote controller of exciter pairing.
In second step e 52, there is action, thereby the radio signal of the address that comprises receiving element is sent out about self power supply receiving element SAU (SRU, MMI, ACT2).This action is for example to press the key that activates contact in self powers receiving element.
At third step E53,, replace element and will represent that the message of himself Di Zhi @SBU sends to the receiving element of self powering by the Di Zhi @SAU that replaces element record self power supply receiving element.When finishing third step, replace the receiving element of self powering that element has been determined its replacement, vice versa.Yet the receiving element of self powering need not to know the replacement element.
Fig. 6 describes the method that element is replaced in configuration.At first step E61, have action, thereby the feasible radio signal that comprises the address of the receiving element of self powering is sent out about self power supply receiving element.This action for example is to press the key that activates contact in self powers receiving element.
This specific radio signal for example comprises the particular command that is used to enter training mode.Preferably, send described specific radio signal with the power that reduces.
In second step e 62, all elements by the facility of intercepting receive described signal, and sort to also having element necessary device, that have high-capacity power supply or the non-receiving element of self powering that become the replacement element according to the power of the signal that is received.Can carry out described ordering in the following manner: under the situation of the duration at random after received signal, in the element one comprises the value of its level that receives and the message of identifier at radio IRC and broadcasting.After this first broadcasting, only authorize the element receive greater than the level of described value during second broadcasting of the value of the level that is received, to talk.Very apace, according to the complexity of facility, only the element of received signal still keeps under optimum condition.According to this method, this element becomes the replacement element thereafter.
At third step E63, the message that will comprise the address of replacing element thereafter sends to receiving element, replaces the address of its receiving element of replacing of element record simultaneously.Perhaps, the receiving element that enters park mode after the transmission of first step E61 is waken up after overtime predetermined, and with signal broadcasting to the signal that has waken up.Only (determining during second step e 62) element of received signal responds by transmitting its address under optimum condition.
From described embodiment as seen, replace the identifier that element definitely must be determined its receiving element of replacing.On the other hand, need not inverse operation: specifically, can advantageously replace sending signal to the step e 36 of the Fig. 3 that replaces element and the E45 of Fig. 4 with the broadcasting step of carrying out by receiving element, and need not mention the element that this signal will reach by receiving element.In the case, the final stage of deletion third step E53 and E63.In addition, visible such in the description of step e 38 and E46 before, receiving element can receive message from replacing element, described message is regarded as come from transmitting element simultaneously.
In present patent application, statement " transmitting element " is understood that to represent to send the element of the information (affirmation of control command, data item, reception etc.) of any type.Even also as the destination of the control command that affirmation rose that receives, also (for example, the affirmation of reception) is called " transmitting element " with this element to this element stoutly about information.
In present patent application, statement " receiving element " is understood that to represent the receiving element of the information (affirmation of control command, data item, reception etc.) of any type.Even this element also in response in the transmit leg of the affirmation of the reception of described control command, also is called " receiving element " with this element about information (for example control command) stoutly.
Comprise that at described facility the present invention is especially favourable under the situation of some self powered sensor, and if in fact drive whole facility by self power supply component, then more favourable.
Preferably, during being fabricated to any equipment that is being powered on the electrical network, be associated with the program of the operation that allows described communication means.Perhaps, in case finished the particular element of described facility, just such program is downloaded to one or more particular element of described facility.
In the present invention, each element (transmitting element, receiving element and replacement element) belongs to same network, and therefore can use identical agreement and means to communicate with one another.Therefore, when receiving element when activating, it can with each other element direct communication of network, thereby the flow on the limiting network.In addition, receiving element can be used for not comprising in the simple network of any replacement element.In the case, can receive the message that sends by receiving element by other element of lasting activation.On the other hand, must repeat to send to the message of receiving element, be waken up up to receiving element.Comprise that the such fact of simple network can support resulting traffic growth.
