To address such functional needs, home automation solutions have emerged. Such known solutions include a centralized device, often referred to as a "home automation box", which integrates the system management intelligence, as well as a set of sensors, actuators and HMI elements. realizing the sending of instructions and / or a return of information, managed by the box according to different criteria. Again, these can be commands directly given by a user, or preprogrammed sequences meeting different criteria.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In all the figures of this document, the elements and identical steps are designated by the same reference.

The general principle of the described technique consists in proposing a communicating joinery system, the system comprising at least one carpentry of the door, window or roller shutter box type in connection with a building opening, as well as an integrated management system for woodwork. The management system comprises a control device for controlling at least one actuator according to a setpoint received from an incoming interface device.

We now describe, in connection with Figures la, lb and a communicating joinery system according to various embodiments of the invention in which the carpentry system in question comprises a window and an associated rolling shutter box.

In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1a, a window carpentry 110 comprising a handle 109 is associated with a roller shutter box 111. The roller shutter box 111 comprises a rolling shutter box base 112 and an axle 101 of a shutter apron 102. In this embodiment, an actuator 103 of the axis 101 of the rolling shutter deck 102 takes the form of an electric motor. The actuator 103 is then connected to a power supply via a power supply cable 106.

The roller shutter box 111 also incorporates a control device 105 for controlling the actuator 103 of the axis 101 of the rolling shutter panel 102 via an electrical connection 104. The control of the actuator 103 by the control device 105 is based on a setpoint received from at least one incoming interface device 108, here a pair of mics connected to the control device 105 by electrical connecting cables 107.

The operation of the system of Figure la is as follows. A user pronounces a voice command that is inputted (as incoming information) by the microphones 108. The latter transmit it to the control device 105. The control device 105 then performs a voice recognition to determine the voice command pronounced by the user then generates a setpoint according to the detected voice command. This instruction is then transmitted to the actuator 103. The user can thus vocally control the rolling shutter deck 102.

In one variant, the voice recognition function is performed in a specific device, external to the control device. In this case, the specific device (a voice recognition device) transmits to the control device information indicating voice command pronounced by the user.

Moreover, all the elements of the system being integrated into the carpentry, the manufacturer can guarantee the perfect cooperation of the elements between them. The user can thus overcome the tedious stage of association of the different elements constituting the system. The quality of the complete product (the communicating carpentry system) is thus controlled by the manufacturer, both at the stage of manufacture and during its lifetime due to the restricted accessibility of the elements of the system by the user. The various elements being integrated into the joinery, their accessibility can indeed be conditioned by specific opening systems, especially designed for maintenance operations for example.

In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1b, the incoming interface device 108 'corresponds to a recognition camera.

Thus, in this embodiment, the user performs a motion that is captured (as incoming information) by the recognition camera 108 '. The latter transmits the captured motion to the control device 105 '. The control device 105 'then performs a gesture recognition to determine the gesture control performed by the user and generates a setpoint according to the gesture control detected. This instruction is then transmitted to the actuator 103. The user can thus control the rolling shutter apron 102.

In one variant, the gesture recognition function is performed in a specific device, external to the control device. In this case, the specific device (a gesture recognition device) transmits to the control device information indicating the gesture control performed by the user.

Several other variants can be envisaged for the incoming interface device: • a panic / emergency button. In this case, the incoming information corresponds to pressing the panic / urgency button, thus allowing the user to launch an alert, either locally or transmitted to a central monitoring station for example; • a touch screen. The incoming information then corresponds to a command entered by a user on the touch screen; A communication device with another communicating carpentry system, for example a device implementing a radio frequency link of the Bluetooth, WiFi, cellular (2G, 3G, 4G, etc.) type or any equivalent radio frequency link. The incoming information then corresponds to an action performed by the user via an incoming interface device of the second communicating carpentry system, thereby providing the user with a networked behavior of the communicating joinery systems installed in the building in question; A communication device with a remote control or a user terminal, for example a device implementing an infrared or radio frequency link of the Bluetooth, WiFi or cellular type (2G, 3G, 4G, etc.) or any equivalent link. The incoming information then corresponds to a command entered by the user via the remote control or the user terminal, thereby allowing the user to remotely control the communicating carpentry system; A communication device with a remote server, implementing an Internet protocol for example or any equivalent, or a means of backup, for example a USB key or a hard disk. The incoming information then corresponds to a command or a sequence of commands preprogrammed by the user and stored on the remote server or the means of backup, or a restoration of the communicating carpentry system.

In a variant, the window joiner 110 also incorporates an outgoing interface device 113, here in the form of wall-mounted speakers connected to the control device 105 'by electrical connecting cables 107'. Thus, in this variant, the control device 105 'is able to return outgoing information to the user, for example a confirmation of the gesture command entered, or a confirmation that the command entered has been correctly executed.

In variants, the outgoing interface device is: • a touch screen or an image projector or a printer. The outgoing information then corresponds to visual restitution information, for example a text, a photo, a drawing or an emoticon; • a fragrance diffuser. The outgoing information corresponding to an olfactory restitution information; A communication device with another communicating carpentry system, for example a device implementing a radio frequency link of the Bluetooth, WiFi, cellular (2G, 3G, 4G, etc.) type or any equivalent radio frequency link. The outgoing information then corresponds to a restitution information of an outgoing interface device of the other communicating joinery system, again offering the user a networked behavior of the connected joinery systems installed in the building in question. ; A communication device with a remote control or a user terminal, for example a device implementing an infrared or radio frequency link of the Bluetooth, WiFi or cellular type (2G, 3G, 4G, etc.) or any equivalent link. The outgoing information then corresponds to rendering information interpretable by the remote control or the user terminal, for example sound or visual information; A communication device with a remote server, implementing an Internet protocol for example or any equivalent, or a means of backup, for example a USB key or a hard disk. The outgoing information then corresponds to information saved on the remote server or the means of backup, thus allowing the user a subsequent restoration of the communicating carpentry system or a control scenario of the communicating carpentry system; A communication device with a remote home automation element, for example a device implementing a radio frequency link of the Bluetooth, WiFi, cellular (2G, 3G, 4G, etc.) type or any equivalent radio frequency link. The outgoing information then corresponds to an incoming command of the remote home automation element. This may be for example the control of the lighting of a lighting.

Thus, the control device is capable of controlling different types of actuators, integrated into the communicating carpentry system described above, to another communicating carpentry system, or to remote home automation elements. Different actuators can be controlled, for example: • a rolling shutter apron motor; • a sash motor; • a door cremone motor; • a door bellhop motor; • a light switch; • a controlled mechanical ventilation switch (VMC); • a heater switch; • an alarm system switch; • a pilot light switch; • a music speaker speaker switch; • a fragrance diffuser switch; • a printer switch; • etc.

In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1c, the rolling shutter is guided by slides 115 fixed to the opening part of the joinery 110 ', and in which luminosity sensors 116 are arranged. Thus, the control device 105, 105 'also takes into account environmental information, here a brightness information delivered by the brightness sensors 116, to control the actuator 103, here an electric motor.

Thus, in this embodiment, the control device can control the roller shutter according to criteria related to the ambient brightness and preprogrammed by the user. For example, the control device can close the shutter when night falls and open it when the day comes up.

In one variant, the brightness sensors 116 integrated into the carpentry 110 'make it possible to measure the external light intensity and to display it on the screen integrated into the carpentry.

In another variant, the brightness sensors 116 are integrated in a sufficient number, externally, on each slide of the shutter (left and right), and placed vertically from top to bottom in order to measure the differences in light intensity. Thus, the roller shutter rises or falls depending on the exposure of the sun and shade on the carpentry, to automate the positioning of the shutter apron.

In other variants, the sensor of an environmental quantity delivering environmental information taken into account by the management system is: • a temperature sensor. The environmental information then corresponds to a measurement of temperature; • a humidity sensor. The environmental information then corresponds to a measurement of humidity of the ambient air; • a volatile organic compound sensor. The environmental information then corresponds to a rate of this volatile organic compound; • an atmospheric pressure sensor. The environmental information then corresponds to a measurement of atmospheric pressure; • a storm sensor. The environmental information then corresponds to a proximity measurement of lightning; • a smoke sensor. Environmental information then corresponds to a measure of opacity of the air; • a brightness sensor. The environmental information then corresponds to a measurement of luminosity; A presence detector, for example of the infrared type. Environmental information then corresponds to a measurement of heat; • an opening sensor. The environmental information corresponds then to an information of opening of the carpentry; • a camera. Environmental information then corresponds to an image of the environment.

Thus, on the basis of the knowledge of such an environmental magnitude, the control device can perform various actions, for example open or close the joinery according to the value of the environmental magnitude in question. In a variant, the control device transmits an alert to a user terminal when such an environmental quantity, or a characteristic of this quantity, exceeds a threshold, for example via an outgoing interface device adapted to the user terminal. Alternatively, the alert may be an audible alert when the communicating carpentry system includes an outgoing device speaker type.

For example, the environmental information provided by a storm sensor allows the control device to control the automatic closing of the shutter (s) and the closing of one or the joinery, or also to transmit the information of the presence of a storm to a user, via a dedicated mobile application.

Similarly, a presence detector, for example of the infrared type, allows the detection of presence, for example for the purpose of monitoring a room, coupled or not with an alarm system. It also allows the control device to execute a setpoint only when it is confirmed by the presence of the user nearby (for example a voice command is executed only if a person is present in the room where it is located the joinery to be controlled), thus making it possible to minimize the false detections of instructions by the control device.

An opening sensor allows the steering device to know if the carpentry is open or closed. Coupled with an alarm system, it allows to put the joinery in surveillance mode. The user can also have access at any time to the state of the opening (open / closed), by querying the system with a smartphone or tablet via a dedicated mobile application.

In other variants, setpoints can be determined based on one or more environmental quantities based on a user-defined scenario and an algorithmic comparison (for example, the indoor humidity level relative to the external humidity, or the algorithmic comparison between a temperature sensor and a sensor of the humidity level of a room and the luminous intensity). Different actions of the control device 105, 105 'are then possible:

Cutting or reducing heating for energy saving;

Lower or raise the roller shutter to save energy and regulate the indoor temperature;

Twilight function.

In another variant, the control device transmits the collected information to a server for continuous recording, for example via an outgoing interface device adapted to the server.

In other embodiments, the incoming information may also correspond not to a control of the actuator, but to a query of the user on an environmental variable accessible via a sensor as discussed above. In this case, the control device 105, 105 'transmits to the outgoing interface device an outgoing information corresponding to the value of the corresponding environmental quantity.

In other embodiments, the environmental sensors are deported from the carpentry. In variants, these remote sensors are incorporated or not into a second communicating joinery system. The environmental quantities measured by these sensors are then accessible by the communicating joinery system via an outgoing interface device capable of communicating with either the second communicating joinery system or directly with the remote home automation element, as described above. in relation to Figure lb.

With reference to FIGS. 6a, 6b and 6c, external surfaces of supports for interchangeable functional modules, sensors and interface devices, according to one embodiment of the invention, and a corresponding face are described. such a module to be removably attached to such media.

According to this embodiment, the incoming interface devices and / or the outgoing interface devices and / or the sensors of an environmental magnitude as described above in relation to FIGS. 1a, 1b and 1c are realized under the form of interchangeable functional modules adapted to be removably attached to a support 610 of the integrated management system to a window composed of a joinery 110 'and a glazing 600.

The primary function of the support 610 is to ensure the mechanical maintenance of the interchangeable module to be removably attached thereto. More particularly, in some embodiments the interchangeable module can be autonomous in energy (for example battery-powered or with the aid of a solar sensor) and communicate with the control device 105 'by implementing a radio frequency link of the Bluetooth type. , WiFi, cellular (2G, 3G, 4G, etc.) or any equivalent radio frequency link.

In other variants, the outer face of the support 610, i.e. the outward facing face of the joinery and therefore intended to accommodate the interchangeable module, comprises a connector 611 for connecting with the interchangeable module. It may be for example to bring a power supply to the interchangeable module. It may also be a connector for the transmission of signals for wired communication between the interchangeable module and the control device 105 '. In these variants, the external face 620 of the interchangeable module intended to be removably attached to such a support has a connector 621 capable of cooperating with the connector 611 of the outer face of the support 610, so as to allow the power supply of the module and / or the wired communication between the latter and the control device 105 '. For example, in the embodiment shown in Figures la, lb and le, it is a six-pin connector that can snap into the corresponding connectors on the outer face of the support 610.

We will now describe, in relation to FIGS. 2a and 2b, a communicating joinery system according to various embodiments of the invention in which the carpentry in question is a door.

In this embodiment, the sensor 116 'corresponds to a camera disposed on the outer face of the opening portion of the joinery 110 ", the environmental information received by the control device 105" then corresponds, for example, to the image of a visitor coming to the door. The control device 105 "then returns this image to an outgoing interface device for display on a screen intended for the user.In this embodiment, the outgoing interface device is in the form of an interchangeable module capable of being removably attached to a support 201 of the management system integrated into the door The attachment of the interchangeable module can then be done according to one of the different variants described above in relation with FIGS. , 6b and 6c.

In other embodiments, the control device 105 "is disposed on the inner face of the support 201. Thus, the manufacture of the carpentry system is simplified, a single piece being integrated into the carpentry instead of two Furthermore, the maintenance is also simplified because of the accessibility to the control device which is facilitated by the dismantling of the support 201. Finally, the robustness of the complete system is also improved, a direct connection between the support and the control device. 105 "control being possible in this configuration, thereby avoiding the problems of holding in time a communication system with a remote device.

Various examples of interchangeable functional modules, also called "SmartBlocks", are now described with reference to FIGS. 3a to 3j. Each interchangeable functional module then integrates the connectors and the logic enabling it to implement a communication protocol with the control device 105, 105 ', 105 "via the connection of the integrated support to the carpentry, which may for example be communication based on the implementation of a radio frequency link of the Bluetooth, WiFi, cellular (2G, 3G, 4G, etc.) or any equivalent radio frequency link, or else based on a wired link, for example of the Ethernet or equivalent type .

More particularly, FIG. 3a illustrates an interchangeable module 300a (forming a sensor) for measuring an environmental quantity of the type: temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, volatile organic compound, or any equivalent. Such a module has orifices 301 allowing the surrounding air to access one or more environmental sensors.

For example, when the interchangeable module 300a forms a temperature sensor and is integrated with the joinery, it makes it possible to measure the inside and / or outside temperature (integration of a second sensor in the case of a second measurement) .

According to a scenario established by the user, an algorithmic comparison (internal temperature compared to the outside temperature), different actions of the control device are possible: • Opening and / or closing of a motorized carpentry (by example a ventilation); • audible warning (for example via a voice synthesis device); • Display of the temperature on a small touch screen integrated in the carpentry; • Transmission of an alert, a temperature threshold (up or down), tablet, smartphone, mobile application; • Continuous recording (24h / 7days) of temperature variations with permanent consultation of the history; • Interaction on a controlled mechanical ventilation (VMC), or on a convector located in the same room; •

The same scenarios can be envisaged with humidity measurements when the interchangeable module 300a forms a humidity sensor, or with rate measurements of a volatile organic compound when the interchangeable module 300a forms a sensor of this volatile organic compound.

FIG. 3b illustrates an interchangeable module 300b for entering a gesture control. It includes a camera 312 and a status indicator 311 allowing the user to know the operating status of the module.

Figure 3g illustrates an interchangeable 300g smoke detection module. It comprises a passage grid 361 allowing the surrounding air to access the optical smoke sensors.

Integrated in the carpentry, such a smoke detection module can detect quickly and locally, all standard lights. A powerful sound alert for example alerts the occupants of a house from the beginning of a fire. In variants, the alert is also transmitted on Smartphone or tablet, via the dedicated mobile application. Such a detector can be CE EN14604 and NF DAAF certified.

FIG. 3j illustrates an interchangeable module 300j for radiofrequency communication. It includes a radiofrequency communication module implementing, for example, a link of the Bluetooth, WiFi, cellular (2G, 3G, 4G, etc.) or equivalent link, and has a power indicator 391 and a communication light 392 allowing the user to be informed of its operating status.

We will now describe, in connection with FIG. 4, a method of manufacturing a communicating joinery system according to the invention. Such a communicating joinery comprises at least one carpentry type door, window or roller shutter box in connection with a building door, and a management system which comprises for its part a control device for driving at least one actuator based on a setpoint received from an incoming interface device.

In a step 400, the incoming interface device is integrated into the carpentry.

During a step 401, the steering device is also integrated in the carpentry.

Thus, these two manufacturing steps make it possible to guarantee the perfect cooperation of the elements between them and to free the user from the tedious stage of association of the different modules constituting the management system. The quality of the complete product is thus controlled by the manufacturer at the stage of its manufacture as well as during its lifetime due to the restricted accessibility of the modules of the management system by the user. The various modules being integrated into the joinery, their accessibility can indeed be conditioned by specific opening systems, especially designed for maintenance operations for example.

In a step 402, a sensor is also integrated into the carpentry.

In a step 403, an outgoing interface device is also integrated.

These last two steps make it possible to complete the functionalities proposed by the carpentry system while maintaining the guarantee of a good functioning of the whole system and simplifying the implementation by the end user.

An example of a control device structure 500 according to one embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to FIG. The control device 500 may be one of the control devices referenced 105, 105 ', 105 "in FIGS. 1a, 1b, 1a, 2a and 6a.

At initialization, the code instructions of the computer program are for example loaded into the RAM 503 before being executed by the processor of the processing unit 502.

FIG. 5 illustrates only one particular way, among several possible, of implementing the control device 105. In fact, the technique of the invention is carried out indifferently on a reprogrammable calculation machine (a PC computer, a DSP processor or a microcontroller) executing a program comprising a sequence of instructions, or on a dedicated computing machine (for example a set of logic gates such as an FPGA or an ASIC, or any other hardware module).

In the case where the invention is implemented on a reprogrammable calculation machine, the corresponding program (that is to say the sequence of instructions) can be stored in a removable storage medium (such as for example a diskette, a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM) or not, this storage medium being readable partially or totally by a computer or a processor.
