例如,第一装置可经无线路由器160与第二装置进行通信。装置可进一步地经至网络(如互联网162)的连接与远程装置进行通信。通过互联网162,装置可与中央服务器或云计算系统164进行通信。中央服务器或云计算系统164可与和装置相关联的制造商、支持实体或服务提供商相关联。对于一个实施方案而言,用户可能能够使用装置本身而不是需要使用其他通信方式(如电话或互联网连接的计算机)来联系客户支持。进一步地,可自动地将软件更新从中央服务器或云计算系统164发送至装置(例如:当可用时、当购买时或按常规时间间隔)。
凭借网络连接,即使用户不接近于装置,图1的智能家居装置中的一个或多个可进一步地允许用户与装置进行交互。例如,用户可使用计算机(例如:台式计算机、笔记本电脑或平板电脑)或其他便携电子装置(例如:智能手机)与装置进行通信。网页或应用可被配置成从用户接收通信并基于通信控制装置和/或向用户呈现关于装置的操作的信息。例如,用户可查看用于装置的当前设定点温度并使用计算机对其进行调整。在该远程通信中,用户可处于结构中或位于结构外部。
智能家居也可包括各种非通信性的传统设备140(如老式传统的洗衣机/干衣机、冰箱等),其可通过墙上插头接口110进行控制,尽管是按粗放的方式(开/关)进行控制。智能家居还可包括各种部分通信性传统设备142(如IR控制的壁挂空调或其他IR控制的装置),其可通过危害检测单元104或灯开关108提供的IR信号进行控制。
图2示出根据一些实施方案的可扩展装置和服务平台的网络级视图,且图1所示的智能家居可与该可扩展装置和服务平台相集成。图1所示的智能、网络连接的装置中的每一个可与一个或多个远程中央服务器或云计算系统164进行通信。可通过直接(例如,使用至无线运营商的3G/4G连接)、经集线网络(其可以是从简单的无线路由器(例如)变化至且包括智能、专用的整体家居控制节点的方案)或经其任意组合而建立起至互联网162的连接,从而启用通信。
中央服务器或云计算系统164可从智能家居装置采集操作数据202。例如,装置可例行地传输操作数据或可在具体实例中传输操作数据(例如:当请求客户支持时)。中央服务器或云计算架构164还可提供一个或多个服务204。服务204可包括(例如)软件更新、客户支持、传感器数据采集/记录、远程访问、远程或分布式控制或使用建议(例如,基于采集的操作数据204提高性能、降低使用成本等)。与服务204相关联的数据可被存储在中央服务器或云计算系统164中,且中央服务器或云计算系统164可在适当的时间检索和传输数据(例如:每隔一定时间、在接收到来自用户的请求时等)。
如图2所示的所述可扩展装置和服务平台的一个显著特性为处理引擎206,其可集中于单一服务器上或分布在没有限制的多个不同的计算实体之间)。处理引擎206可包括被配置成从一组装置接收数据(例如:经互联网或集线网络)、索引数据、分析数据和/或基于分析或分析的一部分而生成统计的引擎。经过分析的数据可被存储作为导出数据208。分析或统计的结果可随后被传输回提供用于导出结果的操作数据的装置、至其他装置、至将网页提供至装置用户的服务器或至其他非装置实体。例如,可传输使用统计、相对于使用其他装置的使用统计、使用模式和/或汇总传感器读数的统计。可经互联网162提供结果或统计。这样,处理引擎206可被配置和编程为根据从智能家居获得的操作数据导出各种有用的信息。单一的服务器可包括一个或多个引擎。
导出数据在用于各种有用的用途的各种不同粒度上均为高度有利的,且该用途的范围包括从以每个家、每个邻居或每个区域为基础对装置的显式编程控制(例如:用于电力设施的需求响应项目)至生成可按每个家为基础予以协助的推理抽象(例如:可做出房主已离开去度假的推论,且因此可将安全检测设备设置为高度敏感性)、至生成可用于政府或慈善用途的统计和相关联的推理抽象。例如,处理引擎206可生成关于一群装置的装置使用的统计并将统计发送至装置用户、服务提供商或其他实体(例如:已请求或可能已为统计提供了货币补偿)。依照具体的说明,统计可被传输至慈善机构222、政府机构224(例如:食品和药品管理局或环境保护署)、学术机构226(例如:大学的研究人员)、企业228(例如:为相关设备提供装置保修或服务)或公用事业公司230。这些实体可使用数据以形成程序,从而减少能源消耗、抢先服务于故障设备、为高服务需求做好准备、跟踪过去的服务性能等或执行当前已知的或下文开发的各种有利的功能或任务中的任意功能或任务。
图3示出图2的可扩展装置和服务平台的抽象的功能视图,其特别参照了处理引擎206以及智能家居的装置。尽管位于智能家居中的装置将具有无限各种的不同的个体能力和限制,但它们均可被看作共享的共同特征,这是因为它们中的每一个均为数据消费者302(DC)、数据源304(DS)、服务消费者306(SC)和服务源308(SS)。有利地,除了提供使装置实现其局部和即刻目标所需的必要控制信息外,可扩展装置和服务平台也可被配置成利用从这些装置流出的大量数据。除了加强或优化装置本身相对于其即刻功能的实际操作外,也可通过各种自动化的、可扩展的、灵活的和/或可扩充的方式指导可扩展装置和服务平台以“再利用”该数据,从而实现各种有用的目标。可基于(例如)使用模式、装置效率和/或用户输入(例如:请求具体的功能)而对这些目标进行预定义或适应性的识别。
例如,图3示出包括一些范式310的处理引擎206。处理引擎206可包括监控和管理主要或次要装置功能的受管理的服务范式310a。装置功能可包括根据给定的用户输入确保对装置进行了合适的操作、估计入侵者在住宅中或试图进入住宅(例如:和对该情况做出响应)、检测被耦合至装置的设备的故障(例如:被烧坏的灯泡)、实施或以其他方式响应于能量需求响应事件或提醒用户当前或预测的未来事件或特征。处理引擎206还可包括广告/通信范式310b,其基于装置使用来估计用户感兴趣的特征(例如:人口统计信息)、需要和/或产品。接着,可将服务、促销、产品或升级提供或自动提供给用户。处理引擎206还可包括社会范式310c,其使用源自社会网络的信息、将信息提供至社会网络(例如:基于装置使用)以及处理与用户和/或装置与社会网络平台的交互相关联的数据。例如,可基于灯检测、安全系统失效或装置使用检测器将报告给社会网络上用户可信任的联系人的用户状态进行升级以指示他们何时在家。作为另一个实例,用户可能能够与其他用户共享装置使用统计。处理引擎206可包括挑战/规则/遵从/奖励范式310d,其通知用户有关挑战、规则、遵从规章和/或奖励和/或使用操作数据以确定是否已满足了挑战、是否已遵从规则或规章和/或是否已赢得奖励。挑战、规则或规章可涉及为节能、安全地生活(例如:减少接触有毒物质或致癌物质)、省钱和/或维护设备寿命、改善健康等所作的努力。
处理引擎可集成或以其他方式利用源自外在来源的外在信息316以改善一个或多个处理范式的运行。外在信息316可用于解释从装置接收的操作数据、确定接近装置(例如:位于装有该装置的结构的外部)的环境的特征、确定用户可用的服务或产品、识别社会网络或社会网络信息、确定接近装置等的实体(例如:公共服务实体,如紧急响应小组、警察或医院)的联系信息、识别统计或环境条件、趋势或与家或邻居相关联的其他信息等。
特殊范围和各种好处可通过所述可扩展装置和服务平台带来且适合在所述可扩展装置和服务平台的范围中,范围从普通变化到深刻。因此,在一个“普通的”实例中,智能家居的每间卧室都可设有包括占用传感器的烟/火/CO报警器,其中占用传感器也能够推断(例如:依靠运动检测、面部识别、可听的声音模式等)占用者是睡着了还是醒着。如果感测到了严重的火灾事件,则告知远程安全/监控服务或消防部门在每个卧室中有多少占用者,以及那些占用者是否仍在睡觉(或不动的)或他们是否适当地撤离了卧室。当然,虽然这是通过所述的可扩展装置和服务平台提供的非常有利的能力,但是也可以有基本上更“深刻”的实例,其可真实地说明可提供的更大“智能性”的可能性。通过也许是更“深刻”的实例说明,在邻里儿童发展和教育的社会范式的背景下,也可通过处理引擎206对相同的数据(即正用于消防安全的卧室占用数据)进行“再利用”。因此,例如,可采集在“普通”实例中讨论的相同的卧室占用和运动数据并使其可用于处理(进行合适的匿名),其中可识别和跟踪在特定邮政编码中的学龄儿童的睡眠模式。可识别在学龄儿童的睡眠模式中的局部变化并使其与(例如)当地学校中的不同营养程序相关联。
图4为根据一些实施方案的HVAC系统的示意图。HVAC系统103为围圈(如图1所描绘的结构150)提供加热、冷却、通风和/或空气处理。尽管系统103描绘了强制空气式加热和冷却系统,但根据其他的实施方案也可使用其他类型的HVAC系统,如基于辐射热的系统、基于热泵的系统等。
为了实现加热功能,空气处理器440中的加热盘管或元件442经管线436使用电或气体来提供热源。使用风扇438经回气管道446通过过滤器470从围圈吸取冷空气,并通过加热盘管或元件442加热冷空气。加热后的空气经供气管道系统452和供气出风口(register)(如出风口450)从一个或多个位置流回围圈中。在冷却时,外部压缩机430使气体(如氟利昂)通过一组热交换器盘管并随后通过膨胀阀。然后,气体通过管线432到达空气处理器440中的冷却盘管或蒸发器盘管434,其中它膨胀、冷却并使经风扇438循环的空气冷却。可选地,加湿器454可被包括在各种实施方案中,其在空气通过管道系统452之前将水分返回至空气中。尽管未在图4中示出,HVAC系统103的可替代实施方案可具有其他功能(如将空气通至外部和从外部通入空气)、用于控制管道系统452中的空气流的一个或多个气阀和紧急加热单元。HVAC系统103的整体操作是选择性地由与恒温器102通过控制线448进行通信的控制电子装置412致动。
图5A-5D示出根据一些实施方案的具有赏心悦目、平滑、圆滑和圆润的外观且同时包括用于检测占用情况和/或用户的一个或多个传感器的恒温器。图5A为前视图,图5B为底部立视图,图5C为右侧立视图且图5D为恒温器102的立体视图。与现有技术中的许多恒温器不同,恒温器102具有不有损于家居装饰的光滑、简约、整齐和优雅的设计且确实可充当用于安装恒温器的即刻位置的赏心悦目的中心装饰品。此外,与已知的常规恒温器相比,可通过恒温器102的设计促进并大大加强用户与恒温器102的交互。恒温器102包括控制电路并被电连接至HVAC系统103,如图1-图4所示。恒温器102可安装在墙壁上、形状为圆形并具有用于接收用户输入的外部可旋转环512。恒温器102的形状是圆形的,这是因为当其被安装在墙壁上时,其通常显示为大致圆盘状的圆形物体。恒温器102具有平放在外环512内的大的凸圆形前面。根据一些实施方案,恒温器102的直径大致为80mm且当其被安装在墙壁上时,其从墙壁突出32mm。外部可旋转环512允许用户进行调整,如选择新的设置点温度。例如,通过顺时针地旋转外环512,可提高实时的(即:当前有效的)设置点温度,且通过逆时针地旋转外环512,可降低实时的设置点温度。恒温器102的前面包括透明盖514(根据一些实施方案,其为聚碳酸酯)以及菲涅耳透镜510,其具有与恒温器102的弯曲的外部前面的轮廓相匹配的外形。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的内表面上,从而在观看恒温器102的外部时无法明显地看到菲涅耳透镜元件。用于检测占用情况的被动式红外传感器550位于菲涅耳透镜的后面,且菲涅耳透镜件510由具有适当的对人体敏感的红外传输范围的高密度聚乙烯(HDPE)制成。如图5A-图5D所示,旋转环512的前边缘、前面514和菲涅耳透镜510被成形使得它们一起形成具有共同的向外的弧形或向外轻轻地拱起的球形的集成凸圆形前面。
虽然由单一透镜状的材料件(如聚碳酸酯)形成,但是盖514却具有包括外部部分514o和中央部分514i的两个不同区域或部分。根据一些实施方案,盖514在外部部分514o的周围进行涂漆或烟熏,但却留出中央部分514i使其清晰可见,从而便于看到安置于其下方的电子显示器516。根据一些实施方案,弯曲的盖514充当透镜,其趋于放大在电子显示器516中显示给用户的信息。根据一些实施方案,中央电子显示器516为点阵布局(即:单独可寻址的)而不是分段布局,从而可生成任意的形状。根据一些实施方案,采用了点阵布局和分段布局的组合。根据一些实施方案,中央显示器516为背光彩色液晶显示器(LCD)。图5A中示出了显示在电子显示器516上的信息的实例,且该实例包括代表当前设置点温度的中央数字520。优选地,对恒温器102进行构造,从而使电子显示器516位于固定的方向上且无法通过外环512进行旋转,因此用户仍可容易地读取电子显示器516。对于一些实施方案来说,盖514和菲涅耳透镜510也仍保持在固定的方向上且无法通过外环512进行旋转。根据一个实施方案,其中恒温器102的直径大约为80mm,且电子显示器516的直径大约为45mm。根据一些实施方案,恒温器102中由盖514、菲涅耳透镜510和环512的面向前方的部分构成的前表面的轻轻地向外弯曲的形状为球形,且该形状与半径为100mm和150mm之间的球面相匹配。根据一些实施方案,恒温器前部球形的半径为约136mm。
使用PIR传感器550以及其他技术的运动感测可用于检测和/或预测占用情况,如以引用方式并入本文的共同转让的序列号为12/881,430的美国申请中进一步所描述的。根据一些实施方案,占用信息用于生成有效且高效的调度程序。提供第二向下倾斜的PIR传感器552以检测接近用户。接近传感器552可用于检测在大约一米范围内的接近,从而当用户正在接近恒温器时并在用户触摸恒温器之前恒温器102可启动“唤醒”。这种使用接近感测对于通过在用户准备与恒温器进行交互之后立即或非常快地“准备”进行交互来加强用户体验是有用的。此外,在接近时唤醒的功能也允许通过当无用户交互正在发生或即将要发生时进行“睡眠”而在恒温器中节能。
根据一些实施方案,为了实现激发用户信心和进一步地促进视觉和功能优雅性的组合目的,恒温器102仅由两种类型的用户输入所控制,第一种为外环512的旋转,如图5A所示(以下称之为“旋转环”或“环旋转”输入),且第二种为在头部单元540上向内推动直至发生可听的和/或可触知的“点击”(以下称之为“向内点击”或简单的“点击”输入)。对于此类实施方案而言,头部单元540为包括外环512、盖514、电子显示器516和菲涅耳透镜510中所有的总成。当用户向内按压时,头部单元540向内移动很小的量(如0.5mm)倚靠内部金属圆顶开关(未示出),且随后当释放向内的压力时,其可弹出向外移回相同的量,从而为用户的手提供令人满意的可触知的“点击”触感以及提供相应的温柔可听的点击声。因此,对于图5A-图5D所示的实施方案来说,可通过直接按压外环512本身或通过依靠在盖514、透镜510上提供向内的压力而间接按压外环或通过其各种组合而实现向内的点击。对于其他实施方案而言,可机械性地配置恒温器102,从而仅使外环512向内移动以进行向内的点击输入,且同时盖514和透镜510保持不动。要理解的是,将向内移动以实现“向内点击”输入的特定机械元件的各种不同的选择和组合均在本教义的范围之中,而不论其是外环512本身、盖514的某个部分或其某些组合。然而,已发现为用户提供使用单手并用涉及的最小量的时间和努力在记录“环旋转”和“向内点击”之间快速来回变换的能力是特别有利的,且已发现通过按压外环512而直接进行向内点击的能力因此也是特别有利的,这是因为用户的手指无需抬起来以不与装置接触或沿其表面滑动以在环旋转和向内点击之间变换。此外,借助于位于可旋转环512内中央的电子显示器516进行的战略布置,提供了进一步的优点,这是因为用户可自然地在整个输入过程中将其注意力集中在电子显示器上,其正好位于用户的手在履行其职责的地方的中间。直观的外环旋转(特别是适于(但不限于)改变恒温器的设置点温度、可方便地与满足物理感觉的向内点击折叠在一起)与其手指活动中央中间的电子显示器上的随和自然聚集一起的组合显著地增加了直观、无缝和十分有趣的用户体验。根据一些实施方案所采用的有利的机械用户接口和相关设计的进一步的描述可在序列号为13/033,573、序列号为29/386,021和序列号为13/199,108的美国申请中找到,所有的申请都以引用方式并入本文。
图5B和图5C为恒温器102的底部立视图和右侧立视图,在以各种不同的家居环境和家居设置中的各种不同的墙壁颜色和墙壁纹理为背景进行观看时,恒温器102已被发现可提供特别令人愉悦和可适应的视觉外观。虽然恒温器本身将在功能上适应于用户的时间表,如本文和在共同转让的并入的申请中的一个或多个中所述的,但是外形被特别配置成传达“变色龙”的质量或特征,从而使整个装置在视觉和装饰感上看来像是与可在家居和商业环境中找到的许多最常见墙壁颜色和墙壁纹理自然地融合,这至少部分地是因为当从许多不同的角度进行观看时,其看来像是将呈现周围的颜色甚至是纹理。
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适于使显示器驱动器564和显示器516向用户显示信息并经可旋转环512接收用户输入。根据一些实施方案,处理系统560能够对包括各种用户接口特性的恒温器102的操作进行管理。处理系统560还进一步被编程和配置成进行其他操作,如下文和/或共同转让的并入的申请中的其他申请中进一步所描述的。例如,处理系统560还被编程和配置成维护和更新用于安装有HVAC系统的围圈的热力学模型,如均以引用方式并入本文的序列号为12/881,463的美国申请和序列号为PCT/US11/51579的国际专利申请中所描述的。根据一些实施方案,无线通信系统566被用于与装置(如个人计算机和/或其他恒温器或HVAC系统组件)进行通信,其可以是对等式(peer-to-peer)通信、通过位于专用网络上的一个或多个服务器进行的通信和/或通过基于云的服务而进行的通信。
根据一些实施方案,为了易于安装、配置和/或升级,特别针对非专家型安装者(如用户),恒温器102包括头部单元540和背板(或壁坞(dock))542。如本文上面所述的,恒温器102被安装在墙壁上且形状为圆形并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被可滑动地安装至背板542上并可滑动地从其拆卸下来。根据一些实施方案,头部单元540至背板542的连接可通过使用磁铁、卡口、插销和挂钩、具有匹配缺口的键形物或肋或简单地通过在头部单元540和背板542的相配部分上的摩擦而实现。图5A中也示出了可再充电电池522,其可使用再充电电路524进行再充电,且再充电电路524使用源自背板的电力,其经从HVAC系统控制电路或从共同电线(如果有的话)的电力收获(也被称为电力偷窃和/或电力共享)而获得,如以引用方式并入本文的序列号为13/034,674和13/034,678的共同未决的美国专利申请中进一步详细描述的。根据一些实施方案,可再充电电池522为单一锂离子电池或锂聚合物电池。
图6A-图6B分别示出恒温器102关于其两个主组件(即头部单元540和背板542)的分解的前和后立体视图。下文所述的电气和机械组件中的各种组件的进一步的技术和/或功能描述均可在共同转让的申请中的一个或多个(如以引用方式并入本文的序列号为13/199,108的美国申请)中发现。在本文所示的附图中,“z”方向为从墙壁向外的方向,“y”方向为相对于走进来的用户的从脚趾到头部的方向且“x”方向为用户的从左至右的方向。
图6C-图6D分别示出头部单元540关于其主要组件的分解的前和后立体视图。头部单元540包括后盖636、底部框架634、电池总成632、外环512(其被操纵进行环旋转)、头部单元的前总成630、前透镜514和菲涅耳透镜510。在头部单元的前总成630上的电气组件可借助后盖636上的带状电缆和/或其他插头式电气接头而连接至背板542上的电气组件。头部单元的前总成630经四个凸台被固定至头部单元的后盖636和底部框架634。因此,在头部单元的顶部框架652(如下面图6E和图6F所示)的支承面和底部框架634的支承面之间持有外环512。特别地,环512在z方向上的运动受顶部框架652和底部框架634上的平坦支承面所限制,而环在x和y方向上的运动则受底部框架634上的圆形圆润表面所限制。根据一些实施方案,对底部框架634和/或顶部框架652的支承面进行涂脂和/或以其他方式进行润滑以平滑和抑制环512的旋转移动。头部单元的印刷电路板(PCB)654被附至顶部框架652,且在PCB654上安装有包括关于图5A所示和所述的处理系统560、显示器驱动器564、无线通信系统566和电池再充电电路524以及一个或多个额外的存储器存储组件中的一些或所有的头部单元电路中的大部分。根据一些实施方案,在PCB 654的两侧上安装有电路和组件。屏蔽罩656(可在图6D中看到)围绕PCB 654上的头部单元电路和组件中的大部分或所有并屏蔽电路和组件以免受电磁干扰。虽然是看不到的,但根据一些实施方案,屏蔽罩656围绕PCB 654两侧上的电路和组件。
电池总成632包括可再充电的锂离子电池522,对于一个优选实施方案而言,其具有3.7伏的标称电压和560毫安时的标称容量。然而,为了延长电池的寿命,通常不会通过恒温器的电池充电电路将电池522充电至超过450毫安。此外,尽管电池522被额定为能被充电至4.2伏,但是恒温器的电池充电电路通常不会将其充电至超过3.95伏。电池总成632也包括连接电线666和电池安装膜664,电池安装膜664使用强粘合剂附接至电池522并使用相对较弱的粘合剂而附接至头部单元PCB 654的后屏蔽罩656。通过使用较弱的粘合剂将电池总成632的膜664安装至PCB 654的屏蔽罩656上,可便于电池总成632(包括电池522)的后续更换。根据一些实施方案,电池总成632为用户可更换的。
图6E-图6F分别示出头部单元的前总成630关于其主要组件的分解的前和后立体视图。头部单元的前总成630包括头部单元的顶部框架652、头部单元的PCB 654以及LCD模块662。子板660连接至头部单元PCB 654并包括光学手指导航(OFN)模块,其被配置和定位以感测外环512的旋转。OFN模块沿径向指向外面(即,垂直于z轴线并远离恒温器的中心)。OFN模块使用与光学计算机鼠标的操作相类似的方法感测外环512内面上纹理化表面的移动。值得注意的是,OFN模块为由相对电力密集型的头部单元微处理器而非相对低电力的背板微处理器来控制的很少的传感器之一。这是可以实现的,且不会造成过度的电力消耗的影响,这是因为当用户手动转动转盘时头部单元的微处理器将必定为已经清醒,因此无论如何不会导致过度的唤醒电力消耗。有利地,也可通过头部单元的微处理器提供非常快的响应。在图6E和图6F中也可以看到菲涅耳透镜510,其与被安装在PIR板650上的两个PIR运动传感器一起协同运行。两个或多个温度传感器也位于头部单元540中并进行协作以获得可靠和准确的室温数据。温度传感器之一位于子板660上,且另一个则被安装在头部单元的PCB 654上。
图6G-图6H分别示出根据一些实施方案的背板单元542关于其主要组件的分解的前和后立体视图。背板单元542包括背板后板682、背板电路板680和背板盖670。在图6G中可以看到HVAC电线接头684,其包括集成的机械电线插入传感电路;以及由被安装在背板电路板680上的电力偷窃电路的一部分所使用的相对较大的电容器686。根据一些实施方案,背板542包括外壳中的电子产品和温度/湿度传感器。设置电线接头684以允许连接至HVAC系统电线,其通过可在背板主要组件的每一个中看到的大的中央圆形开口690。在背板主要组件的每一个中也可以看到两个安装孔692和694,其用于将背板固定至墙壁上。已发现背板上单一的顶部墙壁安装孔692允许在安装中进行自调平,从而进一步加强非专家型安装恒温器102的容易性。图6G和图6H中也可以看到用于进一步便于实现恒温器102的用户可安装性的气泡水平仪672和支架674。
图7A-图7B分别示出根据一些实施方案的PIR板650的前和后立体视图。较大的PIR传感器550被平行地安装至墙壁上(即,传感器平面垂直至z-轴线),且被用于检测与占用情况相关联的运动。较小的PIR传感器552位于较大的PIR传感器550的上方且略微向下倾斜,以便提高对接近用户的检测。图7C和图7D分别示出根据一些实施方案的菲涅耳透镜510的前和后立体视图。如从图7C可以看到的,菲涅耳透镜510的前外部表面720为平滑和弯曲的,以便与恒温器102外表面的其余部分(即盖514的外表面和外环512的前边缘,如上面图5A-图5D所示)的形状相集成。除了使透镜510的前表面720的轮廓与恒温器102的前表面的其余部分相匹配外,使透镜510的表面720和盖514的外部部分514o之间具有颜色匹配也被发现可创建赏心悦目的装置以及通过减少任何使用户分心的事物而加强用户接口。根据一些实施方案,盖514的外部部分514o被烟熏或漆成黑色,且透镜510由具有适当的对人体敏感的红外传输范围的黑色HDPE材料制成。
如从图7D可以看到的,在菲涅耳透镜510的内表面或后表面上形成有菲涅耳透镜元件710,其包括六个单独的小透镜712。六个小透镜712中的每一个为单独的菲涅耳透镜。应根据在系统中相对于PIR传感器的位置和方向并根据期望被PIR传感器看到的监控区域来设计每个小透镜。在小透镜数量的选择中,在光采集和每个区域的大小之间进行权衡。已发现6个元件的透镜适于广泛的应用,然而也可使用其他数量和大小的小透镜。在图7D中也可以看到被雕刻出的部分714,其用于定位被安装在子板660上的温度传感器,如图6E和图6F所示。
图7E和图7F为分别示出根据一些实施方案的PIR传感器和菲涅耳透镜的相对定位的侧视图和横截面视图。较大的PIR传感器550的接近视场由虚线箭头示出,且较小的PIR传感器552的接近视场由点划线箭头示出。如可以看到的,用于占用情况的较大的PIR传感器550具有主要面向前方的视场,而用于预测用户希望直接与恒温器进行交互的较小的PIR传感器552具有主要面向下方的视场。要注意的是在所示的实施方案中,顶部框架652的内表面部分遮掩PIR传感器552的视场,以便进一步限制传感器的相对靠近恒温器的敏感性运动。要注意的是在所示的实施方案中,PIR传感器552被指向穿过与面向前方的PIR传感器550相同的菲涅耳透镜510。根据一些替代的实施方案,单独的小透镜可用于较小的PIR传感器552或可使用完全不同的透镜件。
图8A-图8B为示出根据一些实施方案的在向前看和向下看的PIR传感器的视场的设计过程中相关考虑的图。如图所示,恒温器102被安装在墙壁810上。恒温器510中的PIR传感器552具有指向下方的视场,如点划线箭头所示。接近用户800可能迫切地希望与恒温器102进行交互。为了节约可再充电电池中的电力,恒温器102关闭某些组件(如其头部单元的微处理器、LCD显示器等)或使其睡眠。已发现,预测接近用户大大提高用户与恒温器的交互体验,这是因为在用户实际触摸恒温器之前,睡眠组件可被唤醒。通常,唤醒组件花费的时间越长,所设计的距离d则应越远。然而,这里要进行权衡,这是因为具有更大的距离d会导致当用户简单地路过恒温器时使恒温器醒来的更多“假警报”。在第二PIR传感器552的向下视场的设计中,应考虑就在安装在墙壁上的恒温器前面的地板上的圆锥体或区域。如图7E所示,已发现,给定内部结构以及通过菲涅耳透镜510进行观看,传感器552的面向下倾斜15度是合适的。倾斜传感器552已被发现可减少由于反射而造成的损失(允许更多的能量到达传感器552),并增加可通过透镜510上的菲涅耳透镜模式710“看到”的传感器区域的数量。还发现,距离d应为1米-2米,其通常允许头部单元的微处理器和LCD显示器具有足够的时间以在用户触摸单元之前打开(其花费小于1秒)。1米-2米之间的距离被发现可对唤醒头部单元提供适当的提前告警,而不会导致太多的假警报(例如:当有人仅路过时唤醒头部单元)。特别地,根据一些实施方案,对于1.5米的平均墙壁安装高度,传感器552的最大为45度的视角已被发现适合于为1.5米的距离d。图8A中也示出了较大的PIR传感器550的垂直视场。已发现,对于占用传感的目的来说,从水平线之上3度至水平线之下13度(大约总共为16度)的垂直视场是合适的。传感器550的视场被示为区域A,且传感器552的视场被示为区域B。
在图8B中,示出了根据一些实施方案的PIR传感器的水平视场。已发现,大约为170度的水平视场是可以实现的且适于这些应用。根据一些实施方案,占用传感PIR 550的合适范围为约10米,如图8B所示。
图9A-图9C示出根据一些实施方案的用于菲涅耳透镜的设计考虑的进一步的细节。图9A示出包括由六个单独的小透镜910、912、914、916、918和920所组成的透镜部分710的菲涅耳透镜510的后视图。应评估用于如图8A-图8B所示的两个PIR传感器550和552的每一个的每个小透镜910、912、914、916、918和920的水平和垂直角度覆盖。此外,在设计合适的菲涅耳透镜时也应评估相对的小透镜的效率。图9B示出根据一些实施方案的六个小透镜910、912、914、916、918和920中每一个的尺寸。在所示的设计中,菲涅耳透镜510是弯曲的以匹配恒温器的外部弯曲的表面,其为半径大约为135.7mm的球面。每个小透镜910、912、914、916、918和920可被模制作为对应于球面上单独的离轴分段而倾斜的矩形。应设计每个小透镜的有效焦距和每个小透镜的焦点中心点的放置,以便补偿位于球面上的小透镜以使菲涅耳透镜510能与整体恒温器的前外部的轮廓相匹配。在所示的设计中,已发现对于两个外部小透镜910和920而言,有效焦距为9mm,且对于四个中央的小透镜912、914、916和918而言,有效焦距为7.7mm。此外,垂直和水平地布置小透镜的中心以维持用于区域A(对于PIR传感器550)的覆盖所需垂直角度。图9C示出了简单的光线跟踪图的实例,该图显示了穿过每个小透镜至传感器550的红外能量的路径。要注意的是,对于运动检测来说,应在两个略微水平分开的传感器区域上考虑传感器表面550,其中每一个传感器区域均具有用于六个小透镜中每一个的视场。类似地,对于传感器552来说,可使用关于传感器552的通过垂直距离分开的两个区域检测接近用户。
图10A-图10B为分别示出根据一些实施方案的被安装在子板上并被热耦合至菲涅耳透镜的温度传感器的立体和横截面视图。就在菲涅耳透镜510后安装有温度传感器1010,且该温度传感器1010被热耦合至菲涅耳透镜510。温度传感器1010被安装在子板660上,其也用于安装OFN模块1012以感测外环512的旋转运动。对温度传感器1010进行定位,以使其非常接近于菲涅耳透镜件510的被雕刻出的部分714。根据一些实施方案,在温度传感器1010和透镜510的HDPE材料之间使用热脂以加强恒温器外的环境空气之间的热传递。图10B为示出温度传感器1010和菲涅耳透镜510的相对位置的横截面。
根据一些实施方案,第二温度传感器也用于检测环境温度。第二温度传感器被安装在头部单元PCB 654(如图6C、图6D、图6E和图6F所示)上。通过在更接近恒温器102中的各种热源处安装第二温度传感器,两个传感器读数之间的差可用于减少热源对环境温度读数的影响。如此使用两个分开的温度传感器可显著地提高环境温度计算的准确性,且无需使用将有损整体上赏心悦目的外观和用户接口体验的显著的通风,其中一个传感器相比另一个传感器处于大得多的内部热源的影响下。对于基于两个分开的温度传感器的关于环境温度计算的进一步地细节,请见共同未决的序列号为13/199,108的美国专利申请,其以引用方式并入本文。
虽然到目前为止已关于恒温器描述了集成的且成型的菲涅耳透镜,但根据一些实施方案,集成的且成型的菲涅耳透镜可用于使用PIR以进行占用检测和/或用户交互预测的一些其他装置中,特别是在将赏心悦目的外部设计视为重要的装置中。实例包括:家居报警系统、危害检测单元、入口接口装置、壁灯开关、墙上插头接口、设备(如烤箱、冰箱、壁挂空调、电视、洗衣机和干衣机、灯、立体声系统、对讲系统、车库门开启器、落地扇和水池加热系统),其中的一些在图1中示出。
在不脱离本发明的精神和范围的情况下,可进行各种修改。应进一步理解的是,术语恒温器(如上文和下文所使用的)可包括具有至HVAC系统的直接控制电线的恒温器,且可进一步地包括不直接与HVAC系统相连但感测围圈中一个位置上的环境温度且通过有线或无线数据连接与位于围圈中别处的单独的恒温器单元进行协作通信的恒温器,其中单独的恒温器单元不具有至HVAC系统的直接控制电线。相应地,本发明不限于上述的实施方案,反而是通过所附权利要求根据其等同物的全范围而进行限定。
