图2示出根据一些实施方案的图1的智能家居可与之集成的可扩展装置和服务平台的网络级视图。来自图1的智能、网络连接装置中的每一者可与一个或多个远程中央服务器或云计算系统164通信。可通过直接(例如，使用到无线运营商的3G/4G连接性)、经由中枢网络(其可为范围从简单的无线路由器(例如)到且包括智能专用整体家居控制节点的方案)或经由其任何组合建立到因特网162的连接来实现通信。
中央服务器或云计算系统164可收集来自智能家居装置的操作数据202。举例来说，所述装置可例行发射操作数据，或可在特定情况下(例如，当请求客户支持时)发射操作数据。中央服务器或云计算系统164可进一步提供一种或多种服务204。服务204可包括例如软件更新、客户支持、传感器数据收集/记录、远程接入、远程或分布式控制或者使用建议(例如，基于收集到的操作数据204来改进性能、减少效用成本等)。与服务204相关联的数据可存储在中央服务器或云计算系统164处，且中央服务器或云计算系统164可在适当时间(例如，以规则间隔、在接收到来自用户的请求后等)检索并发射所述数据。
如图2中所示出，所描述的可扩展装置和服务平台的一个显著特征是处理引擎206，其可集中在单个服务器处或分布在若干不同计算实体当中而无限制。处理引擎206可包括经配置以从一组装置(例如，经由因特网或中枢网络)接收数据、为所述数据编索引、分析所述数据且/或基于所述分析或作为所述分析的部分产生统计资料的引擎。可将经分析的数据存储为导出数据208。其后可将分析或统计的结果发射回到提供用以得出所述结果的操作数据的装置、发射到其它装置、发射到向装置的用户提供网页的服务器，或发射到其它非装置实体。举例来说，可发射使用统计资料、相对于其它装置的使用的使用统计资料、使用模式和/或概述传感器读数的统计资料。可经由因特网162提供结果或统计资料。以此方式，处理引擎206可经配置和编程以从自智能家居获得的操作数据得出多种有用信息。单个服务器可包括一个或多个引擎。
导出数据可出于多种有用目的在多种不同粒度下高度有益，范围从在按家庭、按邻居或按地区基础上对装置的明确经编程控制(例如，用于电力设施的需求响应程序)，到可在按家庭基础上辅助的推理抽象的产生(例如，可得出屋主已离开去度假且因此可将安全性检测设备置于提高的敏感度的推论)，到可用于政府或慈善目的的统计资料和相关联推理抽象的产生。举例来说，处理引擎206可产生关于一群装置上的装置使用的统计资料，并将统计资料发送给装置用户、服务提供商或其它实体(例如，其已请求或可能已提供了对所述统计资料的货币补偿)。作为具体说明，可将统计资料发射到慈善机构222、政府部门224(例如，食品和药物管理局或环境保护署)、学术机构226(例如，高校科研人员)、工商企业228(例如，提供对相关设备的装置保修或服务)或公共事业公司230。这些实体可使用所述数据来形成程序以减少能量使用、抢先服务故障设备、为高服务需求做准备、跟踪过去的服务性能等，或执行现在已知或以后开发的多种有益功能或任务中的任一者。
图3特定参考处理引擎206以及智能家居的装置来示出图2的可扩展装置和服务平台的抽象功能图。尽管位于智能家居中的装置将具有各种各样的不同个别能力和限制，但其可全部被视为共享共同特性，因为它们中的每一者为数据消费者302(DC)、数据源304(DS)、服务消费者306(SC)和服务源308(SS)。有利的是，除了提供装置实现其本地和直接目标所需的基本控制信息之外，可扩展装置和服务平台还可经配置以利用从这些装置流出的大量数据。除了相对于装置的直接功能而增强或优化装置本身的实际操作之外，可扩展装置和服务平台还可针对以多种自动化、可扩展、灵活且/或可缩放方式来“再利用”所述数据以实现多种有用目的。可基于例如使用模式、装置效率和/或用户输入(例如，请求特定功能性)来预界定或自适应地识别这些目标。
举例来说，图3将处理引擎206展示为包括若干范例310。处理引擎206可包括受管理服务范例310a，其监视并管理主要或次要装置功能。装置功能可包括：确保被给予用户输入的装置的恰当操作；估计(例如，且响应于)侵入者正在住宅中或正试图进入住宅中；检测耦合到所述装置的设备的故障(例如，灯泡已烧坏)；实施或以其它方式响应于能量需求响应事件；或警告用户当前或所预测未来事件或特性。处理引擎206可进一步包括广告/通信范例310b，其基于装置使用来估计用户的特性(例如，人口统计信息)、需求和/或感兴趣的产品。接着可向用户供应或自动提供服务、促销、产品或升级。处理引擎206可进一步包括社交范例310c，其使用来自社交网络的信息、将信息提供给社交网络(例如，基于装置使用)、处理与用户和/或装置与社交网络平台的交互相关联的数据。举例来说，可更新报告给社交网络上的用户信任的联系人的用户状态，以基于灯检测、安全性系统失活或装置使用检测器来指示他们何时在家。作为另一实施例，用户可能够与其他用户共享装置使用统计资料。处理引擎206可包括挑战/规则/遵从性/奖励范例310d，其告知用户挑战、规则、遵从规章和/或奖励，且/或使用操作数据来确定是否已满足挑战、是否已遵从规则或规章和/或是否已获得奖励。所述挑战、规则或规章可与节约能量、安全地生活(例如，减少向毒素或致癌物质的暴露)、省钱和/或节约设备寿命、改善健康等的努力有关。
处理引擎可整合或以其它方式利用来自外部来源的外部信息316来改进一个或多个处理范例的作用。可使用外部信息316来解译从装置接收到的操作数据，确定装置附近(例如，装置被包围在其中的结构外部)的环境的特性，确定用户可用的服务或产品，识别社交网络或社交网络信息，确定装置附近的实体(例如，公共服务实体，例如紧急响应团队、警察或医院)的联系信息等，识别与家庭或邻居相关联的统计或环境条件、趋势或其它信息，等等。
惊人范围和种类的益处可由所描述的可扩展装置和服务平台(范围从普通到深奥)带来，且属于所描述的可扩展装置和服务平台的范围内。因此，在一个“普通”实施例中，智能家居的每个卧室可具备烟/火/CO警报，其包括占用传感器，其中所述占用传感器还能够推断(例如，借助于运动检测、脸部辨别、可听声音模式等)居住者是睡着还是醒着。如果感测到严重的火情，那么通知远程安全性/监视服务或消防部门每个卧室中有多少居住者，以及那些居住者是否仍睡着(或不移动)或其是否已恰当地撤离所述卧室。当然，虽然这是所描述的可扩展装置和服务平台所提供的非常有利的能力，但可存在显著更“深奥”的实施例，其可真实地说明可使之可用的较大“智能”的可能性。借助于可能更“深奥”的实施例，在邻居儿童发展和教育的社交范例的情境中，处理引擎206还可“再利用”正用于防火安全的相同数据——卧室占用数据。因此，例如，可收集“普通”实施例中所论述的相同卧室占用和运动数据，并使其可用于其中可识别和跟踪特定邮区中的学龄儿童的睡眠模式的处理(适当匿名化)。可识别学龄儿童的睡眠模式的局部变化，并使其例如与本地学校中的不同营养计划相关。
图4是根据一些实施方案的HVAC系统的示意图。HVAC系统103提供包围体(例如图1中所描绘的结构150)的加热、冷却、通风和/或空气处理。系统103描绘强风型加热和冷却系统，但根据其它实施方案，可使用其它类型的HVAC系统，例如基于辐射热的系统、基于热泵的系统以及其它系统。
为了进行加热功能，空气处理器440内的加热线圈或元件442经由线路436使用电或气体提供热源。使用风扇438，经由穿过过滤器470的回气管道446从包围体汲取冷空气，且通过加热线圈或元件442来加热所述冷空气。经加热的空气经由供应空气管道系统452和例如调节器450等供应空气调节器在一个或多个位置处流回到包围体中。在冷却时，外部压缩机430使制冷剂气体穿过一组热量交换器线圈，且接着穿过膨胀阀。气体接着经过线路432到达空气处理器440中的冷却线圈或蒸发器线圈434，在此处，所述气体膨胀、冷却，并使正经由风扇438循环的空气冷却。各种实施方案中可任选地包括加湿器454，其在空气穿过管道系统452之前，使水分返回到空气中。尽管图4中未展示，但HVAC系统103的替代实施方案可具有其它功能性，例如将空气排放到外部以及从外部排放空气、用以控制管道系统452内的气流的一个或多个阻尼器，以及紧急加热单元。HVAC系统103的总体操作由经由控制线448与恒温器102通信的控制电子元件412选择性地致动。
图5A到5D示出根据一些实施方案的具有赏心悦目的、光滑、圆滑且圆化外观并且同时包括一个或多个用于检测占用和/或用户的传感器的恒温器。图5A是恒温器102的正视图，图5B是底部视图，图5C是右侧视图，且图5D是透视图。不同于许多现有技术恒温器，恒温器102具有不使家庭装修逊色的圆滑、简单、整齐且优雅的设计，且事实上可充当其所安装于的直接位置的视觉上令人愉悦的中心摆饰。此外，通过恒温器102的设计来促进用户与恒温器102的交互，且所述交互比已知的常规恒温器大大增强。恒温器102包括控制电路，且电连接到HVAC系统103，例如图1到4中所示。恒温器102为挂壁式的，形状为圆形，且具有用于接收用户输入的外部可旋转环512。恒温器102的形状为圆形，因为在安装在墙壁上时，恒温器102看起来为大体上圆盘形状的圆形物体。恒温器102具有位于外部环512内部的较大凸出圆化前面。根据一些实施方案，恒温器102的直径大约为80mm，且在安装到墙壁时，从墙壁突出32mm。外部可旋转环512允许用户作出调整，例如选择新的设定点温度。举例来说，通过顺时针旋转外部环512，可增加实时(即，当前为活动的)设定点温度，且通过逆时针旋转外部环512，可降低实时设定点温度。恒温器102的前面包括：透明盖514，其根据一些实施方案为聚碳酸酯；以及菲涅耳透镜510，其具有与恒温器102的弯曲外部前面的轮廓匹配的外部形状。根据一些实施方案，菲涅耳透镜元件形成于菲涅耳透镜件510的内部表面上，使得通过观看恒温器102的外部，无法明显地看到菲涅耳透镜元件。在菲涅耳透镜后面是用于检测占用的无源红外传感器550，且菲涅耳透镜件510由高密度聚乙烯(HDPE)制成，所述高密度聚乙烯具有适合对人体的敏感性的红外发射范围。如图5A到5D中所示，旋转环512、前面514和菲涅耳透镜510的前边缘成形为使得其一起形成一体式凸出圆化前面，所述圆化前面具有常见的向外弧或缓慢向外成弧的球形形状。
尽管由单片透镜状材料(例如聚碳酸酯)形成，但盖514具有两个不同区或部分，包括外部部分514o和中心部分514i。根据一些实施方案，盖514在外部部分514o周围被上漆或熏制，但留下中心部分514i在视觉上透明，以便促进安置在其下面的电子显示器516的观看。根据一些实施方案，弯曲盖514充当趋向于放大在电子显示器516中正向用户显示的信息的透镜。根据一些实施方案，中心电子显示器516为点阵布局(即，可个别地寻址)，使得可产生任意形状，而不是分段式布局。根据一些实施方案，使用点阵布局与分段式布局的组合。根据一些实施方案，中心显示器516为背光色彩液晶显示器(LCD)。图5A中示出电子显示器516上所显示的信息的实施例，且所述实施例包括代表当前设定点温度的中心数值520。恒温器102优选经构造以使得电子显示器516位于固定定向，且不随外部环512旋转，使得电子显示器516保持容易被用户读取。对于一些实施方案，盖514和菲涅耳透镜510也保持位于固定定向，且不随外部环512旋转。根据其中恒温器102的直径约为80mm的一个实施方案，电子显示器516的直径约为45mm。根据一些实施方案，由盖514、菲涅耳透镜510和环512的面向前的部分组成的恒温器102的前表面的缓慢向外弯曲的形状为球形，且与具有介于100mm与150mm之间的半径的球形匹配。根据一些实施方案，恒温器前部的球形形状的半径约为136mm。
在占用的检测和/或预测中可使用采用PIR传感器550以及其它技术进行的运动感测，如在以引用的方式并入本文中的共同转让的美国申请第12/881,430号中进一步描述。根据一些实施方案，在产生有效和高效安排的计划时使用占用信息。提供第二向下倾斜的PIR传感器552，以检测正在接近的用户。可使用接近性传感器552来检测约一米的范围内的接近性，使得当用户正接近恒温器时且在用户触摸恒温器之前，恒温器102可起始“唤醒”。接近性感测的此使用通过用户一准备好与恒温器交互就“准备”好交互，或在用户准备好与恒温器交互后不久就“准备”好交互，而对增强用户体验有用。另外，基于接近性唤醒的功能性还通过在无用户交互正发生或将要发生时“休眠”来允许恒温器内的能量节省。
根据一些实施方案，出于激励用户置信度且进一步促进视觉和功能高雅性的组合目的，仅通过两种类型的用户输入来控制恒温器102，第一种用户输入为外部环512的旋转，如图5A中所示(此后称为“旋转环”或“环旋转”输入)，且第二种用户输入为头部单元540上的向内推动，直到出现可听和/或触觉“点击”为止(此后称为“向内点击”或简称“点击”输入)。对于此类实施方案，头部单元540为包括所有外部环512、盖514、电子显示器516和菲涅耳透镜510的组合件。当由用户向内按压时，头部单元540抵靠内部金属拱形开关(未图示)向内行进较小的量，例如0.5mm，且接着当释放向内压力时，弹性地向外返回行进所述相同量，从而向用户的手部提供令人满意的触觉“点击”感觉，以及提供对应的柔和可听点击声音。因此，对于图5A到5D的实施方案，可通过在外部环512本身上直接按压，或通过借助于在盖514、透镜510上提供向内压力对外部环的间接按压，或通过其各种组合，来实现向内点击。对于其它实施方案，恒温器102可经机械配置以使得仅外部环512因为向内点击输入而向内行进，而盖514和透镜510保持静止。应了解，将向内行进以实现“向内点击”输入的特定机械元件的多种不同选择和组合在本发明教示的范围内，而不管其是外部环512本身、盖514的某一部分还是其某一组合。然而，已发现向用户提供用单只手且用所涉及的最小量的时间和力在调节“环旋转”与“向内点击”之间快速切换的能力是特别有利的，且因此已发现直接通过按压外部环512来提供向内点击的能力是特别有利的，因为用户的手指无需从与装置的接触抬起，或沿其表面滑动，以便在环旋转与向内点击之间来回。此外，借助于电子显示器516在可旋转环512内部中心的策略放置，提供另一优点，因为用户在整个输入过程中可自然地将其注意力集中在电子显示器上，就在他们的手正执行其功能的地方的中部。直观外环旋转(尤其如应用于(但不限于)恒温器的设定点温度的改变，便利地与向内点击的令人满意的物理感觉叠在一起)与将自然关注容纳在电子显示器上在其手指活动的中心一起的组合大大增加了直观、无缝且非常有趣的用户体验。根据一些实施方案使用的有利机械用户接口和相关设计的进一步描述可在全部以引用的方式并入本文中的美国申请第13/033,573号、美国申请第29/386,021号和美国申请第13/199,108号中找到。
图5B和5C是恒温器102的底部正视图和右侧正视图，已发现当对照多种不同家居环境和家居设定中的多种不同墙壁色彩和墙壁纹理来看时，恒温器102提供特别令人愉悦且适宜的视觉外观。恒温器本身在功能上将适合用户的安排，如本文和上述共同转让的所并入申请中的一者或多者中所描述，同时外部形状经特殊配置以传达“变色龙”质量或特性，使得整个装置在视觉和装饰感上看起来与家居和商业环境中找到的许多最常见墙壁色彩和墙壁纹理自然地融入，至少部分是因为其在从许多不同角度观看时将看起来呈现周围色彩以及甚至纹理。
根据一些实施方案，恒温器102包括处理系统560、显示器驱动器564和无线通信系统566。处理系统560适于致使显示器驱动器564和显示器516向用户显示信息，且经由可旋转环512接收用户输入。根据一些实施方案，处理系统560能够进行包括对各种用户接口特征的恒温器102的操作的管理。处理系统560进一步经编程且配置以进行如下文进一步描述且/或共同转让的所并入申请中的其它申请中描述的其它操作。举例来说，处理系统560进一步经编程和配置以维持且更新HVAC系统安装于其中的包围体的热力学模型，例如美国申请第12/881,463号中以及国际专利申请第PCT/US11/51579号中所描述，上述两者均以引用的方式并入本文中。根据一些实施方案，使用无线通信系统566来与例如个人计算机和/或其它恒温器或HVAC系统组件等装置通信，其可为对等通信、通过位于专用网络上的一个或多个服务器的通信，和/或通过基于云的服务的通信。
根据一些实施方案，为了便于尤其是例如用户等非专业安装人员的安装、配置和/或升级，恒温器102包括头部单元540和背板(或壁坞)542。如上文所述，恒温器102经壁式安装且具有圆形形状，并且具有用于接收用户输入的外部可旋转环512。恒温器102的头部单元540可以可滑动地安装到背板542上，且可以可滑动地从背板542拆卸。根据一些实施方案，可使用磁体、卡销、闩锁和搭扣、具有匹配凹痕的短小突出部或肋状物、或仅头部单元540与背板542的配合部分上的摩擦来实现头部单元540到背板542的连接。图5A中还展示可再充电电池522，其使用再充电电路524来再充电，再充电电路524使用来自背板的电力，所述电力是经由电力采集(也称为电力窃取和/或电力共享)从HVAC系统控制电路或从常见电线(如果可用)获得的，如在美国共同待决专利申请第13/034,674号和第13/034,678号中进一步详细描述，所述申请以引用的方式并入本文中。根据一些实施方案，可再充电电池522为单节锂离子电池，或锂聚合物电池。
图6A到6B分别相对于恒温器102的两个主组件(其为头部单元540和背板542)说明恒温器102的分解前透视图和后透视图。下文所说明的电组件和机械组件中的各者的进一步技术和/或功能描述可在以引用的方式并入本文中的共同转让申请中的一者或多者(例如，美国申请第13/199,108号)中找到。在本文所示的图式中，“z”方向是从墙壁向外，“y”方向是相对于走上前的用户的从脚到头方向，且“x”方向是用户的从左到右方向。
图6C到6D分别相对于头部单元540的主要组件说明头部单元540的分解前透视图和后透视图。头部单元540包括背盖636、底部框架634、电池组合件632、外环512(其为环旋转而操纵)、头部单元前组合件630、前透镜514和菲涅耳透镜510。头部单元前组合件630上的电组件可借助于背盖636上的带状电缆和/或其它插座式电连接件连接到背板542上的电组件。经由四个凸起部将头部单元前组合件630紧固到头部单元背盖636和底部框架634。进而将外环512固持在头部单元顶部框架652(下文在图6E和6F中所示)上的支承表面与底部框架634上的支承表面之间。明确地说，环512在z方向上的运动受顶部框架652和底部框架634上的平坦支承表面约束，而环在x和y方向上的运动受底部框架634上的圆形圆化表面约束。根据一些实施方案，底部框架634和/或顶部框架652的支承表面涂有油脂且/或以其它方式润滑，以使环512的旋转运动顺滑且隔音。附接到顶部框架652的是头部单元印刷电路板(PCB)654，大部分头部单元电路安装在头部单元PCB654上，包括如相对于图5A所展示和描述的处理系统560、显示器驱动器564、无线通信系统566和电池再充电电路524中的一些或全部，以及一个或多个额外存储器存储组件。根据一些实施方案，电路和组件安装在PCB654的两侧上。屏蔽罩656(图6D中可见)环绕PCB654上的头部单元电路和组件中的大多数或全部，且用来屏蔽电路和组件以免于电磁干扰。尽管不可见，但根据一些实施方案，屏蔽罩656环绕PCB654的两侧上的电路和组件。
电池组合件632包括可再充电锂离子电池522，其对于一个优选实施方案具有标称电压3.7伏和标称容量560mAh。然而，为了延长电池寿命，恒温器电池充电电路通常不将电池522充电超过450mAh。此外，尽管额定电池522能够被充电到4.2伏，但恒温器电池充电电路通常不将其充电超过3.95伏。电池组合件632还包括连接线666以及电池安装膜664，电池安装膜664使用强粘合剂附接到电池522且使用相对较弱的粘合剂附接到头部单元PCB654的后屏蔽罩656。通过使用较弱粘合剂将电池组合件632的膜664安装到PCB654的屏蔽罩656，促进电池组合件632(包括电池522)的后续更换。根据一些实施方案，电池组合件632是用户可更换的。
图6E到6F分别相对于头部单元前组合件630的主要组件说明头部单元前组合件630的分解前透视图和后透视图。头部单元前组合件630包括头部单元顶部框架652、头部单元PCB654和LCD模块662。子板660连接到头部单元PCB654，且包括光学手指导航(OFN)模块，其被配置且定位来感测外环512的旋转。OFN模块径向向外(即，垂直于z轴且远离恒温器的中心)定向。OFN模块使用类似于光学计算机鼠标的操作的方法来感测外环512的内面上的带纹理表面的运动。显而易见，OFN模块是由耗电量相对较大的头部单元微处理器而不是相对较低电力的背板微处理器控制的非常少的传感器中的一者。这可在无过量电力消耗影响的情况下实现，因为当用户手动转动刻度盘时，头部单元微处理器将总是已经醒来，因此不存在任何方式的过量唤醒电力消耗。有利地，头部单元微处理器还可提供非常快的响应。图6E和6F中还可看到菲涅耳透镜510，其结合安装在PIR板650上的两个PIR运动传感器而操作。两个或更多个温度传感器也位于头部单元540中，且合作以获取可靠且准确的室温数据。所述温度传感器中的一者位于子板660上，且另一者安装在头部单元PCB654上。
图6G到6H根据一些实施方案分别相对于背板单元542的主要组件示出背板单元542的分解前透视图和后透视图。背板单元542包括背板后板682、背板电路板680以及背板盖670。图6G中可看到HVAC线连接件684，其包括集成机械线插入感测电路，以及相对较大的电容器686，其由安装在背板电路板680上的电力窃取电路的部分使用。根据一些实施方案，背板542包括位于外壳中的电子元件和温度/湿度传感器。提供线连接件684，以允许到HVAC系统线的连接，所述HVAC系统线穿过较大的中心圆形开口690，中心圆形开口690在背板主要组件的每一者中可见。背板主要组件的每一者中还可看到用于将背板固定到墙壁的两个安装孔692和694。已发现背板上的单个顶部墙壁安装孔692允许安装期间的自调平，从而进一步增强恒温器102的非专业安装的容易性。图6G和6H中还可看到用于进一步促进恒温器102的用户可安装性的气泡水平仪672和夹具674。
图7A到7B是用于以光学方式感测恒温器的旋转环的旋转运动的两种不同设计的横截面图。图7A表示恒温器780的设计，其利用在恒温器780被壁式安装时朝向墙壁定向的光学传感器774。对于此设计的实施例的进一步细节，参见以引用的方式并入本文中的2012年5月7日提交的美国专利申请第13/466,026号。旋转环772在底部框架784上可旋转地滑动。光学传感器774安装在电路板782上，且在环772的带纹理表面770上朝向墙壁(在负z方向上)定向。基于带纹理表面770或环772的由光学传感器774所检测到的运动，可确定环772的旋转运动。注意，在图7A中所表示的设计中，光学传感器轴向(即，在平行于旋转环的中心轴的方向上)且朝向平行于墙壁的环上的带纹理表面定向。展示从电路板782到底部框架787测得的所得距离h’。
图7B是展示根据一些实施方案的用于感测环旋转运动的径向向外定向的光学传感器的横截面。在图7B中，旋转环在底部框架634上可滑动地旋转。光学传感器712安装在子板660上且具有到头部单元PCB654的电连接，例如导体724和726。PCB654上的处理器经编程以解译来自光学传感器712的电信号，且从中确定环512的旋转运动。
光学传感器712朝向环512的弯曲内表面上的带纹理表面720径向向外定向(即，在从恒温器102和环512的中心轴向外的径向方向上，当恒温器102安装到墙壁时，所述方向平行于墙壁)。根据一些实施方案，光学传感器712为光学手指导航(OFN)模块，例如已知用于一些智能电话上的导航中，所述模块已被发现提供检测环512的内表面上的带纹理表面720的运动的合适准确性。根据其它实施方案，可使用其它类型的合适光学传感器，例如已知用于光学鼠标指点器中。通过将光学传感器712安装成使得其直接径向向外以检测环512的内表面720上的环运动，可实现头部单元PCB654与底部框架634之间的尺寸h，其显著小于图7A中所表示的设计中所示的尺寸h’。较低的尺寸h是重要的，因为其允许增强的总体设计圆滑度以及较低的型面和较低的总体高度。当壁式安装时，具有较低型面的恒温器将从墙壁突出较少，且因此较优雅、现代且赏心悦目，并且较不可能被不小心撞到并因此可能损坏。根据一些实施方案，当壁式安装时，使用例如图7B中所示的径向向外定向的光学传感器的恒温器从墙壁突出少于35mm。根据一些实施方案，恒温器从墙壁突出总共32mm。图7B所示的设计优于图7A中所表示的设计的额外优点在于与具有平行于墙壁的实质表面的环(例如环772)相比，环512的形状和结构较容易制造且结构上较稳健。所述质量可降低制造成本，并且改进最终产品的总体坚固度和外观。
图7C到7D是展示根据一些实施方案的旋转环的内部带纹理表面的透视图。在图7C中，相对于整个恒温器102展示环512。在图7C的前透视图和图7D的后透视图的弯曲内表面上展示带纹理表面720。
图7E展示根据一些实施方案的光学传感器712、旋转环512的带纹理表面720以及恒温器102的中心轴730之间的关系。如可看到，带纹理表面720和光学传感器712安装成非常靠近恒温器102的最外外围732。换句话说，从中心轴730到带纹理表面720的径向距离r接近于从中心轴到环512的外部外围732的径向距离r’。在所示的设计中，例如，比率r/r’大于百分之90。根据一些实施方案，比率r/r’优选大于百分之75。通过将光学传感器712定位成感测旋转环512的外边缘附近的环运动比较靠中心的位置有利，例如其中传感器相对较靠近中心旋转轴直接向内朝向旋转表面的设计，因为检测运动的敏感性增加。对于旋转环的给定量的旋转移位，向外定位的传感器将比定位在较中心的传感器观看到较大的移动材料长度。此外，本文所示的设计还提供优于具有中心旋转柱的设计的额外优点，因为当用户抓住环512时，感测表面(即，环512上的表面720)距墙壁(在z方向上)的高度与距用户手部的高度几乎相同。另外，本文所示的设计完全消除了对任何中心柱或其它中心旋转部件的需要。更确切地说，在本文所示的设计中，恒温器102的中心区域不受中心旋转件阻挡，且因此允许各种恒温器组件的相对较紧凑的放置和定位。
尽管到此为止已相对于恒温器描述了用于控制环移动的径向向外定向的光学传感器，但根据一些实施方案，本文所述的概念和技术可用于若干其它装置中，对于所述装置来说，准确的用户输入检测与圆滑的低型面赏心悦目外部设计的组合是重要的。实施例包括结合相对于图1展示且/或描述的装置和器具中的许多装置和器具使用的旋转刻度盘和/或旋转控制器，包括：用于器具(烤箱、微波炉、排气风扇、洗衣机、烘干机、洗碗机、搅拌机、咖啡机、壁式空调)上的旋转刻度盘和/或旋转控制器；其它家用/住宅设备上的旋转刻度盘和/或旋转控制器(泳池加热器控件、灌溉控件、内部通信系统上的音量控件)；灯开关上的旋转刻度盘和/或旋转控制器(调光器或选择器)；以及家用娱乐装置上的旋转刻度盘和/或旋转控制器(例如，立体声装置、电视机的音量)。举例来说，图8展示使用旋转环812来控制HVAC系统103和房间照明810两者的多功能控制器802。根据一些实施方案，控制器802可为可翻新的以代替现有的灯开关，且控制环812在一种模式下充当HVAC系统103的恒温器控制器，且在另一模式下充当房间照明810的灯调光器开关。将了解，如本文所述的旋转环控制器可用于装置的其它组合，例如相对于图1所展示和描述的那些组合。
可在不脱离本发明的精神和范围的情况下进行各种修改。应进一步了解，如上文和下文所使用，术语“恒温器”可包括具有到HVAC系统的直接控制线的恒温器，且可进一步包括并不与HVAC系统直接连接而是感测包围体中的一个位置处的周围温度且通过有线或无线数据连接与位于包围体中其它地方的单独恒温器单元以合作方式通信的恒温器，其中所述单独恒温器单元确实具有到HVAC系统的直接控制线。因此，本发明不限于上文所述的实施方案，而是由所附权利要求书依据其等效形式的完整范围来界定。
