Description

用于评估酒店内节能和宾客满意度的方法和系统
技术领域
本公开整体涉及酒店。更具体地,本发明涉及评估酒店内节能和/或宾客满意度。
背景技术
酒店可包括可由宾客租用的大量酒店房间。当各个酒店房间未被租用时,有机会实现节能,具体地讲是在为各个酒店房间提供调节空气的暖通空调(HVAC)系统中。例如,还能够在照明系统中实现节能。当各个酒店房间被租用但当前未被占用时,也存在节能的机会。然而,需要提供令人满意的宾客体验可限制可能的节能,因为例如宾客能够很快占用各个酒店房间的可能性意味着能够不允许房间中的温度设定点从舒适度温度设定点改变那么多。期望一种改进的方式来管理实现节能的机会,同时还保持令人满意的宾客体验。
发明内容
本公开整体涉及评估酒店内节能和/或宾客满意度。在一个示例中,用于确定具有多个客房的酒店的宾客房间的能量分数的方法包括识别与该宾客房间相关联的两种或更多种节能条件,在该两种或更多种节能条件下,当在不牺牲宾客舒适度的情况下控制该宾客房间时,存在节能的机会。当检测到该节能房间条件中的一种或多种节能房间条件时,以指定节能模式控制该宾客房间,并且当未检测到该节能房间条件的任一种节能房间条件时,以宾客舒适度模式控制该宾客房间。至少部分地基于检测该宾客房间的两种或更多种节能条件的可靠性的量度,并因此基于在控制该宾客房间时利用节能机会的能力来确定该宾客房间的能量分数。
又如,用于确定具有多个宾客房间的酒店的宾客房间的能量分数的系统包括酒店网络,多个宾客房间中的每个宾客房间能够操作地联接到该酒店网络。服务器远离多个宾客房间,并且被配置成经由包括酒店网络的一个或多个网络接收一个或多个房间连接性参数,该一个或多个房间连接性参数提供到宾客房间的网络连接性的指示。服务器被配置成经由一个或多个网络接收向酒店的物业管理系统(PMS)提供网络连接性指示的PMS连接性参数。远程服务器被配置成至少部分地基于一个或多个房间连接性参数和PMS连接性参数来确定能量分数,并且在显示器上显示该能量分数。
又如,提供了一种确定留在酒店设施的多个宾客房间的某个宾客房间中的宾客的宾客舒适度分数的方法。多个宾客房间中的每一个宾客房间包括连接的恒温器。服务器被配置成接收宾客房间被租用和被占用的指示。服务器还在宾客房间被租用和被占用的时间内从宾客房间内的一个或多个设备接收多个参数,并且被配置成至少部分地基于多个参数中的一个或多个参数来确定两个或更多个部分舒适度分数。服务器通过确定在确定宾客房间已被租用和被占用的时间内的部分舒适度分数中的两个或更多个部分舒适度分数的加权组合来计算宾客房间的宾客舒适度分数,并且在显示器上显示针对宾客房间计算的宾客舒适度分数。

图1是例示性酒店管理系统10的示意性框图。该例示性酒店管理系统10安装在酒店12中并且包括远离酒店12的远程服务器14。虽然该远程服务器14被示出为在酒店12的外部,但这不是在所有情况下都需要的。可以设想,如果需要,远程服务器14可设置在酒店12内。远程服务器14可以是单台计算机,或者远程服务器14可以表示包括一台或多台不同计算机的基于云的服务器。酒店12包括多个宾客房间16,该多个宾客房间分别被标记为16a、16b、16c。应当理解,这仅仅是例示性的,因为酒店12通常将包括更多数量的宾客房间16。每个宾客房间16包括一个或多个传感器18,但每个宾客房间16仅示出一个传感器18。传感器18分别被标记为18a、18b、18c。传感器18可例如为环境传感器,诸如温度传感器、湿度传感器、光传感器和/或任何其他合适的传感器。在一些情况下,传感器18中的一个或多个传感器可设置在宾客房间16中的至少一些宾客房间内的房间恒温器内。另选地或除此之外,传感器18可包括占用传感器,诸如例如PIR传感器、mmWave传感器、运动传感器和/或麦克风。传感器18中的一些传感器可以是酒店12的安全系统的一部分。
传感器18中的一些传感器可被配置成提供指示宾客房间中的宾客活动的数据点。为了帮助识别宾客的睡眠质量分数,传感器18中的至少一些传感器可被配置成提供数据点,该数据点包括与在夜晚限定的恒温器交互检测时间段期间发生的与对应宾客房间16中的恒温器交互的次数相关的量度。数据点可包括与在夜晚限定的运动检测时间段期间发生的由对应宾客房间16中的运动传感器检测到的运动相关的量度。数据点可包括与在夜晚限定的环境光线水平检测时间段期间发生的由对应宾客房间16中的光传感器检测到的环境光线水平的变化相关的量度。在一些情况下,由传感器18提供的数据点可包括与在夜晚限定的噪声检测时间段期间发生的由对应宾客房间中的噪声检测器检测到的噪声相关的量度。在一些情况下,恒温器交互检测时间段、运动检测时间段、环境光线水平检测时间段和噪声检测时间段各自包括例如2AM至3AM的时间段。在一些情况下,数据点包括由宾客房间16的床内的一个或多个传感器提供的一个或多个睡眠参数。在这种情况下,宾客房间16内的传感器18或多个传感器18中的一个传感器可嵌入宾客的床中。
酒店12的宾客房间16中的每个宾客房间包括分别标记为20a、20b、20c的暖通空调(HVAC)系统20。每个宾客房间16中的HVAC系统20可以是多种不同类型的HVAC系统中的任一种系统,包括分体式系统。在许多情况下,每个宾客房间16中的HVAC系统20可被配置成根据需要提供暖风、冷风和环境温度空气循环,以便在宾客房间16内保持特定的温度设定值。该特定的温度设定值可例如包括针对酒店12内的所有宾客房间16确定的预定温度设定值,特别是在特定宾客房间16未被租用的时间内,或在特定宾客房间16被租用但未被占用的时间内确定的预定温度设定值。在特定宾客房间16被租用且被占用的时间,该特定宾客房间16的温度设定值可最终由宾客例如与房间恒温器交互来确定。
宾客房间16中的每个宾客房间可包括分别标记为22a、22b、22c的房间网络22。每个宾客房间16中的房间网络22可与该宾客房间16内的传感器18和HVAC系统20可操作地耦接。每个宾客房间16中的房间网络22可以是有线网络(诸如以太网网络),或者每个宾客房间中的房间网络22可以是无线网络。可认为房间网络22中的每个房间网络与酒店网络24可操作地耦接。因此,来自每个宾客房间16的数据可到达酒店网络24,并因此可传递到其他装置。类似地,来自各个宾客房间16外部的指令或其他命令可被传递到每个宾客房间16内的装置(诸如但不限于传感器18和HVAC系统20)。
在一些情况下,酒店网络24还可操作地耦接到宾客房间16外部的装置。例如,酒店12可包括前台终端26。该前台终端26可例如被配置成允许酒店员工办理宾客入住酒店12和退房。虽然示出了一个前台终端26,但应当理解,许多酒店12可具有不止一个前台终端26。例如,在一些酒店12中,宾客能够使用其房间中的电视机从其宾客房间16退房。在此类情况下,可认为电视机充当终端,并且可替代前台终端26的一些功能。因此,每个宾客房间16中的电视机也可以可操作地耦接到酒店网络24。
例示性酒店12包括物业管理系统(PMS)28。可认为PMS 28包括跟踪哪些宾客房间16被租用以及哪些宾客房间16未被租用的软件。PMS 28也可跟踪其他参数和特征。例如,PMS 28可跟踪宾客房间16中的每个宾客房间内的电影和游戏租赁,使得这些租赁可计入账单并正确地开账单给适当的房间租客。虽然PMS 28被示出为可操作地耦接到酒店网络24,但在一些情况下,PMS 28也可经由PMS 28与前台终端26之间的虚线与前台终端26耦接,如图1所示。
网关30可提供酒店网络24(以及因此可操作地耦接到酒店网络24的各种装置)与远程服务器14之间的连接。在一些情况下,网关30可简单地为调制解调器/路由器,该调制解调器/路由器允许酒店网络24和酒店网络24上的装置访问广域网(WAN)(诸如但不限于互联网)。网关30可被配置成允许将软件从远程服务器14下载到网关30。在一些情况下,下载到网关30的软件可以向网关30提供附加功能。下载到网关30的软件可以例如协助网关30与各个房间网络22和/或各个部件(诸如宾客房间16中的每个宾客房间内的传感器18和/或HVAC系统20)通信。如果需要,下载到网关30的软件可以允许网关30向各个部件(诸如传感器18和/或HVAC系统20)提供/传递命令。
例示性系统10包括可操作地耦接到远程服务器14的计算装置32。虽然被示出为位于酒店12外部,但在一些情况下,计算装置32可相反设置在酒店12内。计算装置32允许个人访问酒店网络24上可用的信息。在所示的示例中,计算装置32包括可用于显示信息的显示器34。虽然未示出,但应当理解,计算装置32还可包括数据输入选项(诸如键盘、鼠标、轨迹球等)。计算装置32可以是膝上型计算机、台式计算机、移动电话、平板电脑和/或任何其他合适的计算装置。在一些情况下,远程服务器14和计算装置32可为一体并相同的。
在一些情况下,远程服务器14可被配置成接收和/或计算一个或多个房间连接性参数,该一个或多个房间连接性参数提供到宾客房间16中的一个宾客房间的网络连接性的指示。这可提供例如特定宾客房间16内的房间网络22是否可操作的指示。在一些情况下,一个或多个房间连接性参数可包括房间正常运行时间参数,该房间正常运行时间参数提供特定宾客房间16相对于给定时间段已经联机多长时间的指示。一个或多个房间连接性参数可包括路由器正常运行时间参数,该路由器正常运行时间参数提供酒店网络24相对于给定时间段已经联机多长时间的指示。
远程服务器14可被配置成接收和/或计算PMS连接性参数,该PMS连接性参数向酒店12的物业管理系统(PMS)28提供网络连接性的指示。PMS连接性参数可包括PMS正常运行时间参数,该PMS正常运行时间参数提供PMS 28相对于给定时间段已经联机多长时间的指示。
在一些情况下,远程服务器14被配置成至少部分地基于一个或多个房间连接性参数和PMS连接性参数来确定能量分数,并且在显示器诸如计算装置32的显示器34上显示该能量分数。能量分数可至少部分地基于与多个宾客房间16中的每个宾客房间相关联的一个或多个房间连接性参数。在一些情况下,远程服务器14可被配置成结合比较酒店的总能量分数来显示酒店12中所有房间的总能量分数。在一些情况下,远程服务器14可被配置成结合酒店12的总能量分数来显示每个宾客房间16的能量分数,以示出特定宾客房间16相对于酒店12的其余宾客房间如何工作。
在一些情况下,系统10可被配置成评估酒店宾客对酒店12的满意度。远程服务器14可被配置成经由到酒店网络24的连接来接收来自传感器18的数据点。远程服务器14可使用数据点来计算宾客房间16的宾客满意度分数并显示宾客满意度分数。宾客满意度分数可例如包括宾客睡眠质量分数。在一些情况下,远程服务器14仅在确定宾客房间16被占用时计算宾客满意度分数。远程服务器14可被配置成结合酒店内的一个或多个其他宾客房间中的每个其他宾客房间的宾客满意度分数来显示总宾客满意度分数。
图2是示出用于确定酒店(诸如酒店12)的宾客房间(诸如宾客房间16)的能量分数的例示性方法40的流程图。识别与宾客房间相关联的两种或更多种节能条件,在该两种或更多种节能条件下,当在不牺牲宾客舒适度的情况下控制宾客房间时,存在节能的机会,如在框42处所示。在一些情况下,两种或更多种节能条件中的一种节能条件包括未租用的宾客房间租用状态。两种或更多种节能条件中的一种节能条件可包括被租用但未占用的宾客房间占用状态。在一些情况下,酒店的物业管理系统(PMS)识别宾客房间租用状态,并且其中表示与PMS连接的可靠性的PMS连接性参数至少部分地确定检测宾客房间的两种或更多种节能条件的可靠性的量度。当房间的占用传感器发生故障或以其他方式不提供可靠数据时,检测房间占用状态的可靠性量度可能受到影响。这些只是示例。
当检测到节能房间条件中的一种或多种节能房间条件时,以指定节能模式控制宾客房间,并且当未检测到节能房间条件中的任一种节能房间条件时,以宾客舒适度模式控制宾客房间,如在框44处所示。至少部分地基于检测宾客房间的两种或更多种节能条件的可靠性的量度,并因此基于在控制宾客房间时利用节能机会的能力来确定宾客房间的能量分数,如在框46处所示。
在一些情况下,宾客房间的一个或多个传感器可用于识别宾客房间占用状态,并且其中表示与宾客房间连接的可靠性的房间连接性参数至少部分地确定检测宾客房间的两种或更多种节能条件的可靠性的量度。宾客房间内的一个或多个传感器可用于识别宾客房间占用状态,并且其中表示宾客房间中占用检测的可靠性的占用检测参数至少部分地确定检测宾客房间的两种或更多种节能条件的可靠性的量度。
在一些情况下,两种或更多种节能条件中的一种节能条件包括未租用的宾客房间租用状态,并且两种或更多种节能条件中的另一种节能条件包括未占用的宾客房间占用状态。当检测到被租用的宾客房间租用状态并且检测到未占用的宾客房间占用状态时,使用第一指定节能模式,该第一指定节能模式与宾客舒适度模式偏差第一设定量。该第一设定量可由酒店设定,并且可以是与宾客舒适度设定值的预设偏差量、固定温度值或适于节能的任何其他值。在一些情况下,第一设定量可随时间而增加,使得当宾客离开较长的一段时间时允许宾客房间温度偏差更大。
当检测到未租用的宾客房间租用状态时,使用第二指定节能模式,该第二指定节能模式与宾客舒适度模式偏差第二设定量,其中第二设定量大于第一设定量。在一些情况下,宾客房间的能量分数可至少部分地基于第一设定量,如任选地在框48处所示。宾客房间的能量分数可至少部分地基于第二设定量,如任选地在框50处所示。
例如,当系统10最初被配置时,可以定义第一设定量和第二设定量。在一些情况下,酒店管理能够调整第一设定量和第二设定量,以便考虑季节变化、本地偏好等。例如,第一设定量可指示从温度设定值±2度的温度波动。第二设定量可指示从温度设定值±3度或甚至±4度的温度波动。这些只是示例。
图3是示出确定留在酒店设施(诸如酒店12)的多个宾客房间中的宾客房间(诸如宾客房间16)中的宾客的宾客舒适度分数的例示性方法60的流程图,其中宾客房间中的每个宾客房间均包括所连接的恒温器。服务器(诸如远程服务器14)接收宾客房间被租用和占用的指示,如在框62处所示。服务器在宾客房间被租用和占用的时间内接收来自宾客房间内的一个或多个装置的多个参数,如在框64处所示。确定两个或更多个部分舒适度分数,该两个或更多个部分舒适度分数至少部分地基于多个参数中的一个或多个参数,如在框66处所示。服务器通过确定在确定宾客房间已被租用和占用的时间内的部分舒适度分数中的两个或更多个部分舒适度分数的加权组合来计算宾客房间的宾客舒适度分数,如在框68处所示。服务器在显示器上显示针对宾客房间计算的宾客舒适度分数,如在框70处所示。
在一些情况下,两个或更多个部分舒适度分数可包括这样的部分分数:其提供宾客房间的HVAC系统在预定义的时间段内多久无法实现一次宾客选择的设定值的量度。两个或更多个部分分数可包括这样的部分分数:其提供宾客与宾客房间的恒温器多久交互一次的量度。在一些情况下,两个或更多个部分舒适度分数包括睡眠质量分数,其中该睡眠质量分数提供在夜晚预定义时间段期间宾客活动的量度。夜晚预定义时间段可以是任何期望的时间段。在一些情况下,例如,夜晚预定义时间段可包括2:00AM-3:00AM。
图4是示出确定酒店设施(诸如酒店12)的多个宾客房间中的宾客房间(诸如宾客房间16)的宾客睡眠质量分数的例示性方法80的流程图,其中多个宾客房间中的每个宾客房间均包括所连接的恒温器。服务器接收宾客房间被占用的指示,如在框82处所示。服务器接收来自宾客房间内的一个或多个传感器的多个参数,如在框84处所示。服务器至少部分地基于对应于夜晚预定义时间段的多个参数中的一个或多个参数来确定两个或更多个部分宾客睡眠质量分数,如在框86处所示。服务器通过确定在确定宾客房间被租用和占用的时间内的部分宾客睡眠质量分数中的两个或更多个部分宾客睡眠质量分数的加权组合来计算宾客房间的宾客睡眠质量分数,如在框88处所示。服务器在显示器上显示针对宾客房间计算的宾客睡眠质量分数,如在框90处所示。宾客睡眠质量分数可提供宾客在宾客房间内睡眠质量多好的指示。
在一些情况下,方法80还可包括在显示器上显示针对宾客房间计算的宾客睡眠质量分数以及另外针对其他宾客房间计算的宾客舒适度分数,如任选地在框92处所示。例如,其他宾客房间可包括酒店设施的多个宾客房间中的其他宾客房间。方法80还可包括确定多个宾客房间中哪一个宾客房间具有低于宾客舒适度分数阈值的宾客舒适度分数,如在框94处所示,以及显示具有低于宾客舒适度分数阈值的宾客舒适度分数的多个宾客房间的列表,如在框96处所示。在一些情况下,方法80还可包括确定多个宾客房间中的至少一个宾客房间为什么具有低于宾客舒适度分数阈值的宾客舒适度分数的一种或多种可能的根本原因,如在框98处所示,以及显示所确定的一种或多种可能的根本原因,如在框100处所示。
图5是示出用于评估酒店(诸如酒店12)内的多个宾客房间(诸如宾客房间16)的宾客睡眠质量分数的例示性方法110的流程图。从位于酒店的多个宾客房间中的每个宾客房间中的一个或多个传感器接收一种或多种所感测到的条件,如在框112处所示。针对酒店的多个宾客房间中的两个或更多个宾客房间中的每个宾客房间确定宾客睡眠质量分数,其中多个宾客房间中的两个或更多个宾客房间中的每个宾客房间的宾客睡眠质量分数至少部分地基于从由对应宾客房间中的一个或多个传感器感测到的一种或多种所感测到的条件确定的一个或多个宾客活动,如在框114处所示。
酒店的多个宾客房间中的每个宾客房间的宾客睡眠质量分数可至少部分地基于一个或多个宾客房间状态参数,其中该一个或多个宾客房间状态参数包括宾客房间租用参数和宾客房间占用参数中的一者或多者。在一些情况下,多个宾客房间中的每个宾客房间包括对应HVAC系统(如HVAC系统20),并且一个或多个宾客房间状态参数可包括对应HVAC系统的警报状态、对应HVAC系统的冷却阀状态和对应HVAC系统的加热阀状态中的一者或多者。
一个或多个所确定的宾客活动可包括与在夜晚限定的恒温器交互检测时间段期间发生的与对应宾客房间中的恒温器的交互次数相关的量度。一个或多个所确定的宾客活动可包括与在夜晚限定的运动检测时间段期间发生的由对应宾客房间中的运动传感器检测到的运动相关的量度。一个或多个所确定的宾客活动可包括与在夜晚限定的环境光线水平检测时间段期间发生的由对应宾客房间中的光传感器检测到的环境光线水平的变化相关的量度。一个或多个所确定的宾客活动可包括与在夜晚限定的噪声检测时间段期间发生的由对应宾客房间中的噪声检测器检测到的噪声相关的量度。在一些情况下,恒温器交互检测时间段、运动检测时间段、环境光线水平检测时间段和噪声检测时间段可各自包括2AM至3AM的时间段。在显示器上显示酒店的多个宾客房间中的两个或更多个宾客房间中的至少一些宾客房间的宾客睡眠质量分数,如在框116处所示。

在一些情况下,远程服务器14和/或计算装置32可被配置成显示仪表板,该仪表板允许用户快速且容易地查看特定宾客房间16可相对于酒店12内的其他宾客房间16表现如何,或者甚至与其他酒店中类似宾客房间相比表现如何。图6A至图6F提供了可以显示的有关能量的仪表板的示例,包括用于计算能量分数的许多参数的图形表示。图7A至图7D提供了可以显示的有关宾客舒适度的仪表板的示例。
在一些情况下,可认为能量分数指示实际利用节省能量的潜在机会有多大。检测宾客房间16何时为空(未租用或者被租用但当前未占用)并允许温度设定值波动更大是在不会不利地影响宾客的同时利用节省能量的机会的示例。让空房间(未租用或者被租用但当前未占用)保持在舒适度温度设定值是无法利用节省能量的机会的示例。
