Abstract

The light switch (2) can be manually actuated by the control key (3) or the extension station key (4) and each actuation is stored in the non-volatile memory element (1) to provide record of switching times over the space of a week, for example, along with the operating mode. A microprocessor (5) coordinates the working of the switch, communication with the memory element, the brightness sensor (7) and the operating mode display (5).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft die Anwendung eines nicht­ flüchtigen Speicherelementes zur Speicherung eines Schaltzustandes und einer Betriebsart für einen Lichtschalter zur Anwesenheitssimulation.The invention does not relate to the application of one volatile memory element for storage a switching state and an operating mode for a light switch for presence simulation.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Lichtschalter zur Anwesenheitssimulation zu ent­ wickeln, der in einer Betriebsart "Schalten" wie ein herkömmlicher Lichtschalter zu bedienen ist und in einer Betriebsart "Zufall" oder einer Be­ triebsart "Wiedergabe" automatisch Schaltungen ausführt, um die Anwesenheit eines Anwenders zu simulieren. Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale im Anspruch 1 gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Merkmalen der Unteransprüche angegeben.The invention has for its object a Light switch to simulate presence wrap like in a "switching" mode a conventional light switch can be operated and in an operating mode "random" or a loading "Playback" mode automatically switches executes to the presence of a user simulate. According to the invention, this task by the characterizing features in claim 1 solved. Further advantageous embodiments of the Invention are in the features of the subclaims specified.

Zum Grundprinzip der Erfindung gehört, daß die eingestellte Betriebsart und der Schaltzustand in einem nichtflüchtigen Speicherelement gespeichert werden und diese Informationen nach Ausfall der Netzspannung wieder aus dem nichtflüchtigen Speicher­ element ausgelesen werden, um den vorherigen Schalt­ zustand und die vorherige Betriebsart des Licht­ schalters wieder herzustellen. Weiterhin wird das nichtflüchtige Speicherelement genutzt, um die vom Anwender in der Betriebsart "Schalten" ausgeführten manuellen Schaltungen über einen bestimmten Zeit­ raum von beispielsweise einer Woche zu speichern, um diese in der Betriebsart "Wiedergabe" später wiederholen zu können. Durch das Wiederholen der vom Anwender in der Betriebsart "Schalten" aus­ geführten Schaltungen wird in der Betriebsart "Wiedergabe" der gewohnte Schaltrhythmus des Anwenders erzeugt und somit die Anwesenheit des Anwenders für einen Außenstehenden besonders gut simuliert. Das Speichern der Schaltungen in einem nichtflüchtigen Speicherelement hat den Vorteil, daß auch die Informationen über die automatisch auszuführenden Schaltungen bei einem Ausfall der Netzspannung nicht verloren gehen.The basic principle of the invention is that the set operating mode and the switching state stored in a non-volatile memory element and this information after the failure of the Mains voltage again from the non-volatile memory element can be read to the previous switching  state and the previous operating mode of the light to restore the switch. Furthermore, that will non-volatile memory element used by the Users in "Switching" mode manual circuits over a period of time to save space of, for example, a week, to this later in the "Playback" mode to be able to repeat. By repeating the by the user in "Switching" mode guided circuits is in the mode "Playback" the usual switching rhythm of the User and thus the presence of the Particularly good for an outsider simulated. Saving the circuits in one non-volatile memory element has the advantage that also information about the automatically circuits to be executed in the event of a failure of the Mains voltage is not lost.

Außerdem sieht die Erfindung vor, einer zweiten Betriebsart "Zufall" Zufallsschaltungen durch den Lichtschalter ausführen zu lassen. Zur Erhöhung des Bedienkomforts sieht die Erfindung die Mög­ lichkeit einer manuellen Bedienung während der Betriebsarten "Wiedergabe" und/oder "Zufall" sowie eine Nebenstellenbedienung vor. Die Bedienung über eine Nebenstelle ist aus dem Bereich der Tastschalter und Tastdimmer bekannt.The invention also provides a second "Random" operating mode to have the light switch executed. To increase the invention sees the ease of use manual operation during the "Playback" and / or "Random" operating modes as well an extension control. Operation via an extension is from the area of the push button and touch dimmer known.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung dargestellt. Diese gibt in einem Blockschaltbild einen Lichtschalter 2 zur An­ wesenheitssimulation wieder. Dabei wird der Licht­ schalter 2 über den Bedientaster 3 oder den Neben­ stellentaster 4 manuell betätigt. Jede manuelle Bedienung durch den Anwender wird in dem nicht­ flüchtigen Speicherelement 1 für den Zeitraum z. B. einer Woche aufgenommen. In diesem werden ebenfalls der aktuelle Schaltzustand und die aktuelle Betriebsart gespeichert. Ein Mikroprozessor 5 koordiniert die manuelle Bedienung durch den Anwender, die Kommunikation mit dem Speicherelement 1, sowie die Funktion anderer peripherer Bauelemente wie z. B. Helligkeitsfühler 7 und einer Betriebs­ artenanzeige 6.In the drawing, an embodiment of the invention is shown. This shows a light switch 2 for presence simulation in a block diagram. The light switch 2 is operated manually using the control button 3 or the auxiliary button 4 . Each manual operation by the user is in the non-volatile memory element 1 for the period z. B. added a week. The current switching status and the current operating mode are also stored in this. A microprocessor 5 coordinates the manual operation by the user, the communication with the memory element 1 , and the function of other peripheral components such as. B. brightness sensor 7 and an operating mode display 6 .
