Definitions
- the house of the future can't lack this invention of furnishingss, lighting, particularly evocative visual communication and thermal adjustment of rooms.
- This invention can also be modified at will and/or afterwards without structural intervention requirement, and without the need of workers or manpower intervention.
- This invention can be used to decor furnishings, both of the inner and the exterior surface of buildings, whether residential or of other gender and use.
- This invention is a product or a system consisting of one or more parallelepipeds, from now on generically called “tile” (or “tiles”), that, alone or in combination with similar elements, creates the coloring and/or the lighting of an area and/or a surface.
- This invention consists of an innovative kind of tile or combination of tiles having the characteristics described in this text.
- the control (also in real time) of the single tiles allows and create the mix of the colours and/or of the movements and/or of the brightness of the surface composed by combinations of tiles, which follow the orders given by the controller component.
- Every single tile can be uniquely identified and/or can be identified (also later) according to the assembly or gluing position and/or the programming.
- This invention can be compared and used (eg attached) as a standard ceramic tile, thanks to both its size and for its physical and mechanical features. Therefore, it can be easy handled by a mason and/or a tiler with no particular difficulty, since it does not require any wiring. Hence, it does not require the intervention of an electrician, which will be useful in more advanced stages of the implementation, to connect at least one tile to the supply. As a consequence, the tools and the ways of working do not change, thus making easier the use and the diffusion of this invention.
- the combination of the elements of this invention transforms the covered areas in fixed bright screens and/or in colorable and/or colored walls. It is possible to program the variation of the colour and/or of the brightness and/or of the reflection, and even to visually reproduce movements (eg moving pictures).
- the coloring can imitate both the painting that is normally present on the walls, and the standard ceramic tiles, with or without any decorations which can be inserted even in the intermediate layers of the tile.
- Decorations may not be visible until a suitable level of light intensity is reached.
- this invention can be applied to any surface, it is possible to transform the surface into a complex scene, for example it is possible to insert thes elements in the forniture in order to communicate and visualize everything the final user desires. It is possible to design the colouring and/or the brightness of a bathroom or a kitchen, and to change the colours and the ornaments at will, even using pictures in motion, and even as a function of changing external factors: the coulour and/ or brightness can change at sunset.
- a particular application is to hide a building by imitating the landscape behind it.
- a skyscraper with this invention applied to its surface, and a camera that record the landscape behind it (eg hills). If later these images are reproduced on the skyscraper surface by means of this invention, the result will be the visual vanishing of the skyscraper.
- the tile can reproduce more elements of decoration, even the permanent ones, in order to create more ornaments which are visible for example only when the light sources of the tile are turned ON.
- this innovation there are several ways to implement this innovation (the find), such as for example by the applying one or more light sources, controlled and spread within and/or on the sides of the tile, or integrated inside it. Thanks to different suggested technologies, such as those which use the transflective areas, electroluminescent sources, OLED, LED, LCD, TFT and so on, it is possible to change the colours and/or the brightness. It is almost always required an homogenization strategy of the colours and/or of the light distribution, as explained in this text.
- every single tile can be assimilated to at least one pixel of that screen.
- the single tile if made in the best way, forms a set of four independent pixels, called in this article "small tiles", which compose the tile.
- the pixel created in this way can also have a considerable size, equal to 1 A (a quarter) of the tile measures.
- the low resolution of a large pixel seen from close up is enough to produce a suitable effect of colour, shining and motion.
- the size of the pixel is determined by the desired resolution and/or by the desired number of pixels per tile.
- the size of the tile, or of the small tiles which compose it, can be made suitably small. Also the tile made with a single pixel can be brilliantly used as part of the furniture and/or as a screen.
- this invention solves other problems, such as: 1) easy applicability to a wall as the ceramic tiles that is going to replace;
- this invention can be easy and quickly attached to the surfaces;
- tiles can be cut as the standard tiles, allowing to cover the desired areas of application;
- tiles can be drilled as the standard tiles, in order to allow the introduction of other furnishings, such as an hook and a towel rail of a bathroom, a mirror and so on;
- this invention can be easily replaced in case of break or malfunctions. This characteristic is particularly useful when this invention is applied to screens or advertising signs. If necessary, the replacement of the burn pixels is allowed. Indeed, this invention can be used to create screens of arbitrary size and shape, even very big ones, and by simply attaching the tiles to any kind of surface.
- This invention also have the following features, resulting from the solving of some problems or which can solve some problems. It can change colour, simulate reference colours (eventually shown), illuminate with lights of different colours, reproduce images in motion or not, and make adapting advertising signs. It has an own system of planning and control, even remotely, a connection system that allows every tile to share the information and the power supplies with the adjacent tiles.
- It can also comprise a system of heat differentiation, capable of heating and cooling.
- the invention is made and/or divisible into different identifiable parts , which are linked and integrated in a single monobloc product called tile.
- the single tile works better when it is inserted into a set of identical tiles including at least a control and/or a supply tile (Fig. 1 dis. 5).
- the invention can be identified both in a single tile and in a system of several tiles, thanks to the fact that a tile can be made and sold individually, because it is independent, still achieving its functions in combination with other tiles. In this latter case another additional tile which controls all the others and/or supplies the entire system is required.
- Construction of the tile Construction of the tile. Construction of the tile.
- a single tile consists of different parts attached together, as will be described in this paragraph.
- the tile is composed of: an element called from now on "support” (Fig. 1 dis. 4 ), for example made of ceramic, that can be stuck to the wall.
- This part is the generic interface between the invention and the application surface. The most important characteristic of this element is its mechanical control of the retention efforts, but it is also important to dissipate the thermal energy generated by the electronic circuits and/or the visualizer.
- Electronics There are one or more electronic circuits identified from now on as a part called “electronics” (Fig. 2 dis. 4), which may be placed into different internal positions (eg in appropriate grooves) or on the sides of the tile, or joined to the support, forming one of the layers of the invention, or inserted in appropriate pockets (Fig. C dis. 4).
- the electronic devices receive and handle the supply and control signals, which are generally shared by all the tiles, and communicate the working parameters to every single tile and its parts (identification, colour, brightness, reflection, filtering, aperture, temperature). These electronic devices are connected to the part called “visualizer " (such as sources of light fig. DE dis. 4) which recreates the colouring and/or the lighting and/or the reflections.
- this part can be implemented in different technologies which use LEDs (emitter luminescent diodes) the OLEDs (organic LEDs), the LCDs (liquid crystal display), transflective surfaces, and so on. Any product that can change its state and/or colour and/or light thanks to an electrical or an electronic control can be used.
- the visualizer can also be integrated in the electronic part.
- a tile-side lighting system consisting in a LED of suitable power is suggested (fig. B, C, D dis. 3).
- RGB Red Green Blue
- a tile having one or more independent light areas (Fig. A dis. 1) is made.
- a tile can be for example subdivided into four independent parts (Fig. A dis. 2).
- a LED for example a white one
- the tile can be illuminated from a side (eg Fig. A, B, C dis. T). In this case the light is parallel to the tile's side. It is possible to use only a single side.
- a tile made with the led inside the tile (Fig. D, E dis. 4) and/or inside the subdivisions (eg the cross division which ideally separates a single tile in four parts), or inside a sandwich system or inside a pocket made inside the support and protection materials and/or inside the diffusor materials.
- a light homogenizer system consisting in an appropriate diffuser (eg additional layer), which distributes to all the concerned pixel the colour and/or the light source, can also be used.
- This diffuser can be made of a system of prisms and/or reflections and/or light guide and/or lens (eg Fresnel lens).
- the diffuser can work also as a protection layer, but it is also possible to provide a further outer layer, obscure or transparent, with the specific fuction of protection from mechanical scratches (eg further additional layer).
- the mechanical protection can easily be achieved by using transparent and/or semitransparent ceramic and/or glass and/or paint (eg Fig 3. A dis. 4).
- tile system (example of use in a bathroom - dis. 5 and 6), consists of a set of identical tiles, which are interconnected and very close together, and at least “a control system", (1 dis. 5) eventually integrated in one or more tiles made for this purpose.
- the visualizer in maintaining the division of the support, the electronics and the display elements as superimposed parts. Thanks to the LCD it is possible to obtain same areas of colour convenient for the display.
- the visualizer is made of at least two layers. The first one is the surface divided in areas of different colours, for example small repetitive RGB-coloured rectangles as the screen of a computer.
- the second one is made of an LCD that enables or disables (also thanks to a hole) the display of some areas of the coloured part. In this way, the colour is reproduced, and can be changed and combined at will.
- the minimum size of the pixels is due to the below colouring layer (divided into differently coloured squares) and to the size of the area controlled by the LCD. It is possible to obtain different coloured shapes by polarizing differently and appropriately areas of the LCD.
- a backlighting of the LCD and/or a lighting from above(also reflective) can be required. It is also possible to use coloured LCD (layered or not).
- the same way to obtain and/or made a visualizer can be used even with an OLED (organic led) technology.
- the surface of the visualizer is created by using an OLED.
- An additional layer is provided to protect the surface from the treatment of liquid cleaning substances and to prevent the delicate surfaces from scratches.
- the electronics element controls the OLED circuits, which in their turn can be helped by further light sources from above or below.
- light sources can be chosen among those already on the market, like the TFT with active or passive matrix, or those not yet on sale.
- the invention can be made up by assembling together distinct and unfinished parts, consisting of: a transparent part combined with a semitransparent or opaque ceramic part, with some holes to insert the light sources where necessary.
- the light is inserted as an additional layer, together with the electronic control and / or and external controls.
- the light source can be placed on one side that lights up the lens used as a homogenized light guide in the tile. Suitable binders glue the system layers.
- the part es ceramic part which contacts the wall (intended to support the invention) is joined to the previous described parts.
- This part may in turn have the system of connections, even on more sides, such as springs to contact the adjacent tiles and / or the connector / spacer.
- the invention can be subdivided into parts. If for example 2 independent light sources are placed on each one of the 4 sides, a tile is made with four bright pixels, namely the tile has four points of independent brightness and/or intensity and 4 points of independent colour and/or reflectivity.
- every quarter of a tile has two sides lighting.
- the same effect can be achieved by splitting the inner layer into differently colored parts and / or into parts having different brightness.
- the degree of subdivision may be increase to improve performance. This way it is possible to implement a screen having variable resolution depending on a) the number of tiles b) the number of internal subdivisions of the tile. Indeed, the number of subdivisions can be from one (1) to a very high number, even greater than the four part subdivision mentioned above. Subdivision can be avoided by using a high definition screen while maintaining the functionality and control network connection (interconnection) without wiring.
- connection between 2 tiles is achieved through appropriate contacts, for example, placed on two points per side, inside or protruding the tile itself, in the case of redundant power supplies and shared controls. For example, at least 3 contacts are required to connect a control bus and the two power supplies.
- the connection can be used to form lines and / or columns of power and / or control over different pixels. This ensures the necessary power and voltage signals for both the power of light sources and electronic circuits for programming and control of every single bright point system through connections to intelligent networks (including for example a single bus data) and / or rows and / or columns.
- Lack of wiring This redundant system of distribution of signals and power supplies replace the entire wiring system of the tiles.
- the guided Connection The electrical connection between 2 tiles is accomplished for example through contacts and / or the connectors placed on the sides of the tile.
- Spacers such as. Cross spacers (Fig. H dis. 2), can be used during the installation process to help and to implement the electrical connection between 4 adjacent tiles by means of connectors and / or contacts integrated into the spacer.
- the spacer (Fig. d, e, f, g dis. 2) can also help to better position the tile and to improve the realization of the clefts between the tiles (Fig. 1 A dis).
- This spacer becomes a cross-connector, which can also bring positive and / or negative and / or alternate power supplies and one or more signals that carry the control of individual tile and / or individual pixels within the tile.
- This spacer / connector can be used to create inter-tile cleft from 0 mm to several millimeters wide between tile and tile.
- special electrically conductive driving tracks can be provided, in addition to the spacer or substituting it, carrying signals (eg bus communication) and power supplies, supported or attached to surfaces on which tiles will be applied. Even joints can be provided.
- the cross connection can be replaced by a connection to the rows and columns, even maintaining the interconnection network of tiles.
- the interconnection of rows and columns can be achieved through the spacers / cross connectors, which carry a directional electrical connection consisting of two orthogonal axes x and y.
- the control system requires the use of one or more tiles dedicated to the control and monitoring of functionalities of individual tiles and the set of tiles.
- the control tile can have specific tools to visualize the parameters and functionalities.
- This control system is programmable via keyboard, radio, infrared, smart card, USB memory stick, wi-fi, bluetooth, and so on.
- the degrees of freedom comprise the choice of decoration, of the timing and the color or colors of the bathroom, or reproducing also the images caught by a camera. The color and / or lighting can be maintained for years.
- the control tile can make the controlled tiles to reproduce the functionalities of a screen. It can also incorporate a radio receiver and / or a television and / or a connection to the Internet.
- an appropriate loudspeaker for istance a piezoelectric one
- a piezoelectric one can be integrated into the tile system, in order to disseminate sound and audible signals.
- Additional sensors integrated into the tile or the system can ensure interaction between the tile and the outside world, eg. Microphones, temperature sensors, cameras, etc..
- control system it will be easy to achieve simple changes in color, brightness, temperature, for istance in a bathroom or portions of it, realizing sequential change of nuances or through the creation of drawings on the walls and floors on which tiles are applied. It is possible to implement a system which identifies a person who enters into the room and adapts the parameters (color, light, images, etc.) according to personal tastes.
- the control tile any element which can be connected to the tile system and exchange signals with it can used.
- One or more tiles of the system can be specialized to add functionality to the entire system, by inserting a heating or cooling system controlled by a remote tile.
- the tile/tiles control the specialized tiles parameters in order to obtain the desired environmental parameters.
- the easiest way to realize the heating is to use electro-resistive elements which heat the exposed surface of the tiles.
- a different cooling or heating system is implemented by means of Peltier cells controlled by the same monitoring system which is used to control the lighting and color.
- Peltier cells exchange heat with the environment through the exposed surfaces, implementing a positive or negative temperature, also using the wall as a sink of thermal energy: if you want to cool the air you have to cool the surface of the tile, warming up (yielding heat) the wall below the tile.
- the special tile described above always has a control systems that monitor the external temperature in order to suitably control the remaining power required to reach the desired parameters. It produces a thermal gradient adequate to rapid exchange heat and rapidly achieve the desired comfort. It still maintains the concept of invention keeping the concept of "tile network"
- the best way to realize the mechanical parts is the following: Four tiles made of ceramic or a suitable material are attached to a bigger white ceramic tile (base). The four tiles have at least 2 opaque or reflective sides which contact the other tiles. The 4 tile also have a diffuser system to homogenize the colours generated by point light sources.
- special light guide geometries eg holography
- a single multi-color LED or several single-colour LEDs can be used to achieve the desired color and intensity by appropriate mixing.
- the special tile which control the temperature (heating or cooling) can only have that functionality.
- each tile is made up 4 independent points of color, brightness and temperature.
- Each one of the 4 small tiles has at least one active side.
- the number of active sides is two so as to better homogenize the small tile color. It is feasible to insert the led between the layer of white ceramic and that of semi-transparent ceramic (sandwiches approach or pocket approach).
- This electronics realizes the Identification: each small tile is uniquely identified, both initially with a identification code, and secondarily with a sub code allocated for programming or for mounting position programming. There is an initial identification of tile and a secondary identification of 4 points.
- the set of tiles may be the local network controlled by one or more digital communication bus or analog bus or combined bus.
- the control string will contain checks, such as the following parameters: number of tiles, number one of the four small tiles, color, intensity, temperature.
- the best way to implement the tile control is as follows: at least one of the bright tile is used for monitoring.
- This tile can be radio controlled (eg bluetooth or wi-fi, zigB or UWB), or controlled by infrared digital transmission network, etc., in order to receive commands or to remotely or locally program the system.
- a slot out with appropriate connector can be provided to insert a flash memory card (eg secure digital or multi media card) or even a USB connection.
- Some tools can be added: a power-ON button, the supply for all the tiles, a keyboard programming, a display to dialogue with the user for the setup of the system.
- the control tile may be the only one that distributes supply to all the other tiles.
- the main control tile may contain some basic settings such as a timer to plan power-ON, brightness also as a function of environmental brightness or presence of a person, geometric figures in motion, setting and maintaining of the desired colors. You can program tiles installed in succession. The tile will also have the colors and traditional decorations which are mostly used in each room and set those parameters when the system is installed.
- the system of tiles can be provided together with an external computers software, for the design of the space in which the tile system is installed considering brightness, color, heating, cooling.
- This software will allow to implement the settings chosen by users or architects or customers. It could also implement for istance static figures and / or in motion, wall clocks, scenic backgrounds with sunset, progressive shades for pyrotechnic effects with musical accompaniment. For this purpose a tile of proper thickness with a loudspeaker (eg a piezoelectric one) is provided.
- a loudspeaker eg a piezoelectric one
- the project will be saved and transferred to the tile / tiles control.
- a real time computer tool can be provided to remotely and continuously control the environment.
- the control tile will reproduce the programmed parameters comprising space, time, color, and / or temperature and / or noise and / or brightness.
- support eg. Ceramic (1 eg Fig. A dis. 4) shows appropriate engravings (eg holes or cuts, fig. H dis. 2) on every corner, to allow the placement of electrical contacts (eg. Compression springs); a suitable electrical circuit and / or a printed circuit is attached to the support and connected to each corner of the tile and support, as well as to connect the circuit contacts.
- Another layer eg. In laser improved methacrylate to maximize the LEDs light diffusion.
- is added to act as light-guide eg 2 fig. A dis. 4).
- LEDs may be connected to a circuit inserted between the support and the methacrylate, or be connected to an external tile.
- Another layer is placed above the methacrylate, (eg Fig 3. A dis. 4) such as an additional surface opaque translucent ceramic, which can increase the homogeneity of the spread of methacrylate and add adequate protection to scratches.
- the circuit connected to the control bus by means of the tile corners or the LEDs circuit can be inserted between the support and the methacrylate, and / or integrated inside the circuit on the side of the methacrylate, or placed in adequate housing.
- the various layers of the tile can be attached by means of suitable binders such as. stickers.
