Abstract

The system provides remote control of appliances without need for extra controls or wiring. The system for controlling electrical appliances (L1, L2) uses a switch which also controls an existing electrical appliance (A). This may, for example, be the bulb providing normal lighting in a room. At least one logic analyzer is designed to analyze directly or indirectly the levels of an electrical characteristic generated by the switch. When the switch is triggered a predetermined number of times at short intervals, this information is detected and used to activate a device an activation/de-activation module (MAD) which is connected between the secondary controlled appliances (L1, L2) and their respective power supplies (P1, P2).

Description

The field of the invention is that of home automation.

More specifically, the invention relates to remote control systems for electrical appliances (lamps, televisions, computers, electric shutters, etc.).

The current technique reports systems for controlling most electrical appliances through a simple standard switch or a specific one-button switch. Normally spaced pressures allow the usual control of lighting while very close multiple pressures switch these systems into an advanced mode for controlling any electrical device.

One of the embodiments of these systems provides a local control module or a retransmission module fixed on lighting socket or at any level of an electrical circuit controlled by a switch. This module receives status signals in the form of a voltage associated with each (220V or then emits a single or several separate signals during each change of electrical state using the technique of carrier currents, the technique These status change signals are then received and analyzed by several activation / deactivation modules each controlling an electrical apparatus or by a single remote control module which analyzes the received signals and transforms them. as control signals to activation / deactivation modules.

In the first case, the disadvantage of such applications is the need to use several activation / deactivation modules capable of receiving the signals transmitted by the local control module. However, existing home automation applications can already use activation / deactivation modules having their own communication protocol, which poses serious compatibility problems.

In the second case, the disadvantage results from the use of a remote control module capable of receiving one or more state change signals in order to analyze them. However, during two very close supports on the switch (necessary step for the passage to a particular control stage), the two signals of changes of state are inevitably very close, which can pose certain problems of reliability at the level of transmission (local control module or retransmission) as the reception (remote control module). The invention particularly aims to overcome these various disadvantages of the state of the art.

More specifically, the objective of the present invention is to provide a control system having generally the same characteristics as the aforementioned systems, by adding some technical specificities, allowing including better compatibility with other home automation applications as well as reliability and reliability. extended functionality. This invention makes it possible, for example, to facilitate control of pre-existing home automation applications using a particular communication protocol.

The invention also relates to each of the modules included in the aforementioned remote control system, namely the transmission module and the remote control module. Other features and advantages will appear on reading the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, given by way of indicative and nonlimiting example, and the appended drawings, in which - FIG. simplified diagram of a first embodiment of a remote control system according to the present invention; FIG. 2 presents a simplified diagram of a particular embodiment of the local control module and the remote control module appearing in FIG. 1.

FIG. 7 is a simplified diagram of a second embodiment of a remote control system according to the present invention; FIG. 8 is a simplified diagram of a particular embodiment of the local control module and the remote control module appearing in FIG. 7.

A first embodiment of a control system according to the present invention is now presented with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Referring to these diagrams, the system includes a local control module MCL for transmitting SASRF and SAPRF analysis signals as a function of the duration and the frequency of the supports at the switch I.

The remote control module MCD is placed between an electrical outlet P and a lamp L to be controlled (activation / deactivation, adjustment of the luminous intensity). More generally, it can be placed between any power source and one or more electrical device (s) to control. is capable of transmitting control signals to other home automation applications to be controlled (other electrical appliances to be controlled).

The local control module MCL is adapted to a lighting socket D controlled by a switch I. It receives the bulb A intended initially to be fixed on the socket D. It can also be adapted to a socket or more generally on any electrical connection element controlled by switch I.

In the exemplary application illustrated in FIG. 1, the system according to the invention has a basic mode and an advanced mode with an associated transition.

The basic mode is automatically engaged as soon as the user makes a single press on the switch I (that is to say without specific manipulations). It allows to control bulb A (activation / deactivation).

The advanced mode is engaged when the user makes a double press (two very close presses) on the switch 1. It makes it possible to control the lamp L or other electrical devices via the signals SCCPI emitted by the module of remote control MCD.

In addition, when the system reverts from the advanced mode to the basic mode or vice versa, the devices or functions are locked in their operating state (off or on and the luminous intensity level for the lamps). In other words, the manipulations of the switch in one mode of operation do not act on the devices controlled in the other mode of operation. It can be expected that the system will automatically return to basic mode after predetermined time in advanced mode. One can also provide a manual return, after a particular multiple support (two close supports or more), said locking. two variants of return in basic mode can be proposed simultaneously or alternatively.

It may be conceivable to provide several advanced modes each activated following a particular multiple support.

In the particular embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the local control module MCL comprises: means 1 for measuring and analyzing the electrical characteristics of the socket D; means 2 for activating / deactivating bulb A according to the activated operating mode (bulb A normally activated in basic mode and deactivated in advanced mode); means 3 for transmitting analysis signals as a function of the electrical characteristics measured and analyzed.

The normally spaced pressures on the switch I cause the emission of a particular signal called primary signal. Another particular signal called secondary signal is emitted when two very close supports on the switch I are detected by the means 1 for measurement and analysis. In the illustrated example, this emission uses the technique of airwaves: the analysis signals emitted SAPRF and SASRF are radio signals. It is clear that other types of emission can be envisaged without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, the emission can use the technique of infrared signals or the technique of carrier currents by superposition of the analysis signals to the electric current.

In the particular embodiment presented in FIG. 2, the remote control module MCD comprises means 4 for receiving the analysis signals SAPRF and SASRF transmitted by the local control module MCL; control means 5 (activation / deactivation and adjustment of the luminous intensity) of the lamp L. By means of this device, the remote control module MCD placed between an electrical socket P and a lamp L, is cabable directly controlling the lamp L according to said received SAPRF and SASPRF analysis signals; control signal transmission management means 6 SCCPI, SCCP 2, SCCP 3, SCCP 4 SCCP 5, SCCP 6 as a function of the received SAPRF and SASRF analysis signals.

In the illustrated example, this emission uses the technique of the carrier currents the analysis signals emitted SAPRF and SASRF are signals superimposed on the usual current, through the electrical network. It is clear that other types of emission can be envisaged without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, the emission may use the technique of infrared signals or the technique of radio signals.

We now discuss in detail relation with the simplified diagram of Figure 3, a particular embodiment MCL local control module. It contains the means 2 for activating / deactivating the bulb A, the means 3 for transmitting analysis signals and the means 1 for measuring and analyzing the electrical characteristics of the socket D comprising means 11 measuring the voltage level, means 12 for detecting electrical state changes and means 13 for analyzing pulses.

The means 11 for measuring the voltage level detect the low states and the successive high states of the bushing D (see figl), ie the presence of an electrical voltage or not across the bushing D in function presses on switch I (see figl). A high state signal SEH is emitted when the bushing D is energized and a low state signal SEB is detected when it is not energized.

The means 12 for detecting the electrical state changes detect the potential variations measured at the socket A via the received state signals SEH and SEB. A change of state corresponds to the transition from a zero voltage (0V) to a normal voltage (220V) or vice versa. The transition from a low state signal SEB to a high state signal SEH causes the transmission of a so-called connection pulse and the transition from a high state signal SEH to a low state signal, a so-called disconnection pulse.

The analyzer 13 receives the connection and disconnection pulses emitted by the means 12 for detecting the electrical state changes. If a disconnect pulse and a connection pulse are received within a short predetermined time interval, a signal S2 is sent to the transmitter 3 and a so-called deactivation signal is generated. This last signal is maintained for a period corresponding to the duration of the advanced mode. The activation / deactivation means 2 allow the usual activation / deactivation of the bulb A according to the successive presses on the switch (see figl) when the system is in basic mode. On the other hand, if a deactivation pulse is received, the activation / deactivation means 2 automatically deactivate the bulb A.

The transmitter 3 transmits a primary analysis signal SAPRF when a high state signal SEH is received and a secondary signal SASRF upon receipt of a signal S2.

In connection with the plurality of timing diagrams of FIG. 4, an example of pulse management within the local control module MCL presented above and illustrated in FIG. 3 is now explained. In FIG. 4, CO and DE signify connection. and disconnection respectively and the timing diagram 78 represents a reference signal.

The first timing diagram 71 represents the voltage at the bushing terminals D (low or high state, 0 or 220V), depending on whether or not it is connected to the mains power supply, as a function of the successive presses on the switch.

The second timing diagram 72 represents all of the unsized connection and disconnection pulses.

The third timing diagram 73 represents the calibrated connection pulses. As soon as the voltage across the bushing changes from low to high, a calibrated connection pulse is generated.

The fourth time chart 74 represents the calibrated disconnection pulses. As soon as the voltage on the bushing goes from a high state to a low state, an unconnected disconnection pulse is generated.

The fifth timing diagram 75 represents the primary analysis signals SAPRF emitted as soon as the bushing D is energized. Note that these signals are emitted after a period corresponding to a specific time in order to avoid the untimely emission of a primary signal when two very close changes of state are detected. It should be noted that the duration of this delay is less than the temporal sum of the connection and disconnection pulses, contrary to what is shown in FIG. 7 for the sake of clarity.

The sixth timing diagram 76 represents the SASRF secondary analysis signals transmitted as soon as the calibrated connection and disconnection pulses are superimposed (hatched area on the time diagram). This situation is caused by two very close supports on the switch I.

The seventh timing diagram 77 represents the bulb A deactivation pulses generated when an advanced mode is activated.

In connection with the two time diagrams and the data series of FIG. 5, an example of pulse management within the remote control module MCD shown in FIG. 2 is now explained. In FIG. 5, CO and DE signify connection and disconnection respectively.

The first timing diagram 81 represents the received primary SAPRF analysis signals.

The second timing diagram 82 represents the secondary SASRF analysis signals received.

The data series 83 summarizes all the control signals transmitted. As long as the remote control module MCD is in basic mode, the primary signal reception SAPRF causes the transmission of a particular control signal SCCPl and the non-reception of the same primary signal SAPRF causes the transmission of another signal particular SCCP2. These two control signals may correspond to activation and deactivation signals respectively.

As soon as the remote control module MCD receives a secondary signal, switches to advanced mode and sends a particular control signal SCCP3 intended for example to activate any lamp. From this moment, the first reception of a primary analysis signal SAPRF will result in the transmission of a particular control signal SCCP4 intended for the negative (or positive) light variation of a light source (fall or fall). increased light intensity level) and the second reception of the same primary analysis signal SAPRF will result in the issuance of a particular control signal SCCP5 for the positive (or negative) light variation of a light source. This alternative transmission process of the SCCP4 and SCCP5 variation control signals as a function of the successive reception of the SAPRF primary analysis signals can be repeated indefinitely as long as the advanced mode is activated. It should be noted that the control signals SCCP5 and SCCP6 can also be transmitted via an inverse logical process, ie whenever a primary analysis signal SAPRF is not received. This reverse process is triggered when two close presses are recorded and the D socket is initially at a high level (ie energized). Note also that the management of the control signals in advanced mode can be identical to that of the basic mode with the particular command signal transmission as soon as the SAPRF analysis signal and another particular command signal are received from the moment -receiving the same SAPRF analysis signal. It is also possible that the level consecutive to the transition to advanced mode (reception or non-reception of the primary signal SAPRF) is automatically transformed variation control signal (or other), the next detection of the same level allowing the transmission of the Reverse order command. For example, the latter possibility can be considered for adjusting the light intensity of a lamp already lit when switching to advanced mode.

A particular control signal SCCP6 (not shown in the figure for example for the deactivation of the lamp activated via the signal SCCP3) can be transmitted after reception of a second secondary signal SASRF.This same control signal SCCP6 can also be sent after receiving an SAPRF primary signal when the system has automatically returned to basic mode.

A second embodiment of a remote control system according to the present invention is now presented in connection with FIGS. 6, 7 and 8. The various functional parts of this other control system can be identified with the various functional elements of the first embodiment illustrated in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. This differs from the first embodiment shown. above only with regard to the management of the various signals and pulses and particularly in that each analysis signal transmitted corresponds to a control signal. As a result, the remote control module MCD 1 simply transforms the analysis signals SARF1, SARF2, SARF3, SARF4, SARF5 and SARF6 (signal represented in FIG. 5) received into control signals SCCPI, SCCP2, SCCP3 SCCP4. , SCCP5 and SCCP6 (signal not shown in FIG. 5) compatible with home automation applications to be controlled. It is clear that the analysis signals can be directly used as control signals for home automation applications capable of receiving them. In the example illustrated, the analysis signals are radio signals and the control signals, signals superimposed on the electric current according to the technique known as carrier currents. It is clear that other transmission techniques such as the use of infrared signals can be envisaged without departing from the scope of the present invention. In the particular embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the local control module MCL2 comprises: means 1B for measuring and analyzing the electrical characteristics of the socket D; means 2B for activating / deactivating the bulb A in the activated operating mode mode (bulb A normally activated in basic mode and deactivated in advanced mode); means 3B for transmitting analysis signals as a function of the electrical characteristics measured and analyzed; In the particular embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the remote control module MCD2 comprises: means 4B for receiving the analysis signals SARF1, SARF2, SARF3, SARF4, SARF5 and SARF6 transmitted by the local control module MCL2; - 5B control means (activation / deactivation and adjustment of the light intensity) of the lamp L.

means 6B for managing and transmitting control signals SCCP1, SCCP2, SCCP3, SCCP4, SCCP5, SCCP6 as a function of the received analysis signals.

relationship with the timing diagram and the data series of FIG. 6, an example of pulse management is now explained in the aforementioned second embodiment and illustrated in FIG. 7. In FIG. 6, CO and DE signify connection and disconnection respectively.

time diagram 84 represents the voltage at the terminals of the socket D (low or high state, 0 or 220V), according to whether or not it is connected to the mains power supply as a function of the successive presses on the switch 1.

The data series 85 summarizes all the analysis signals transmitted by the local control module MCL2. In this application example, a particular analysis signal SARF1 is emitted at each connection and another analysis signal SARF2 transmitted at each disconnection. A double press on the switch 1 causing close connection and disconnection, causes the activation of the advanced mode and the emission of a particular analysis signal SARF3. From this moment, the first detection of a high state signal SEH (detection of a voltage across the bushing D) will result in the transmission of a particular analysis signal SARF4 intended for the negative light variation. (or positive) of a light source (decrease or increase of the luminous intensity level) and the second detection of the same high state signal SEH will cause the emission of a particular control signal SARF5 intended for light variation positive (or negative) of a lighting source. This alternative transmission process of the SARF4 and SARF5 analysis signals as a function of the successive detections of the high state signals SEH can reproduce indefinitely as the advanced mode is activated. It should be noted that the SARF4 and SARF5 analysis samples can also be transmitted via an inverse logic process, ie each time a low state signal SEB is detected. This reverse process is triggered when two close presses are recorded and the D socket was initially high (ie energized). Note also that the management of the control signals in advanced mode can be identical to that of the basic mode with the transmission of a particular analysis signal upon detection of a high state signal SEH and another particular analysis signal upon receipt of a low state signal It is also possible that the state signal SEH or SEB consecutive to the transition to the advanced mode is automatically transformed into a variation control signal other), the next detection of this same signal allowing the emission of the reverse command order. For example, the latter possibility can be considered for adjusting the light intensity of a lamp already lit when switching to advanced mode.

A particular analysis signal SARF6 (not shown in FIG. 6) can be emitted after detecting two new very close supports on the interrupter 1. This same analysis signal SARF6 can also be emitted after detecting a change of status (connect or disconnect) when the system is automatically returned to basic mode.

The data series 86 summarizes all the control signals emitted by the remote control module MCD2 which merely transforms the analysis signals SARF1, SARF2, SARF3, SARF4, SARF5 and SARF6 (not shown in FIG. 6). received control signals SCCP1, SCCP2, SCCP3, SCCP4, SCCP5 and SCCP6 (not shown in Figure 6) compatible with home automation applications to control. As an indication, the control signals SCCP1 and SCCP2 can be used respectively as activation and deactivation signals to a first lamp; the control signals SCCP3 and SCCP6 can be used respectively as activation and deactivation signals to a second lamp; and the control signals SCCP4 and SCCP5 can be respectively used as negative variation control signals of positive variation in the destination of the second lamp mentioned above.

Note again that the remote control module MCD2 can be replaced by any module capable of transforming received signals (RF signals in the example presented) into signals compatible with other home automation applications (signals superimposed on the electric current according to the technique carrier currents in the example presented).

The remote control system according to the present invention is particularly intended to increase the stability and compatibility of remote control systems using means for detecting the state changes of an electrical connection element controlled by a switch.
