[6] Electric curtain system (Commercial name: PROPEN-EC100)

The public also closes the curtain when sleeping and sets a desk clock, smart phone or cell phone alarm to wake up at any time. However, even if the alarm sounds, you can not hear it or wake up and sleep for a while. This is especially true for hearing-impaired people with weak hearing. At this time, if the curtain gets the alarm sound and opens automatically, you can easily break your sleep with the help of light from outside. The present invention implements the above situation.

Means for solving the above problems are as follows. In the conventional electric curtains [3,4], in order to allow the curtain to recognize the alarm sound of the user's watch or the mobile phone, a microphone unit 110 for converting the first user's clock or cellular phone alarm sound into an electric signal must be provided.

And a sound storage means 230 for storing a second user's clock or a cellular phone alarm sound.

Third, the sound stored in the sound storage means 230 is used as a reference sound, and a comparison judgment control unit 210 for judging whether a new sound is compared with a reference sound is determined.

Fourth, a switching unit 240 is required to recognize the newly input sound as a self-sound when the comparison determination unit 210 determines that the sound is a self-sound.

Finally, the motor driving unit 300 and the power transmitting unit 400, which can open the curtain according to the recognition of the switching unit 240, are required.

In addition, if you memorize the first reference sound (option 1) and the other alarm sound as the new reference sound (option 2), and you hear another alarm sound (option 2), you also need the dysfunction of closing the open gait.

When I sleep, I hit the curtain and set the alarm on my desk or cell phone. However, even if the alarm sounds, you can not hear it or wake up for a while to turn off the alarm and sleep again. The present invention has a function of recognizing an alarm sound on a curtain, so that the curtain can selectively hear the alarm of the mobile phone and automatically open the alarm so that the user can easily awaken from the outside.

(1) the hearing-impaired person, (2) the elderly person (elderly person living alone, the elderly person who is uncomfortable to move, etc.) because the curtain reacts to the specific alarm sound of the user (e.g., a desk clock or a mobile phone alarm sound) (3) It can be very useful in the bedroom of the general public.

The first alarm sound (option 1) and the other alarm sound (option 2) are stored as reference sound 1 and reference sound 2 in the sound storage means 230 through the reference sound setting section 250, If you hear a sound (option 1), the curtain is fully opened, and you hear another alarm (option 2). FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram of applying the present invention to a conventional Roman shade curtain 600.

The roman shade opening and closing strap 620 provided on the side of the curtain cloth 610 is wound around the roman shade rod 630. When the roman shade rod 630 is rotated by pulling the chain 430 by hand, In the shade curtain 600, the present invention can be simply implemented by connecting the motor gear 410, which is one component of the present invention, to the handle chain 430 of the conventional roman shade curtain 600.

Embodiment 2 can be applied to the case where the construction of the present invention is applied to an ordinary integral type curtain (left and right sliding type cloth curtain or roman shade or the like) so that n open / close states of a normal curtain The control unit 250 sets n different reference sounds for each opening / closing state so that the curtains can be controlled by the number of revolutions of the motor. ). For example, by using the reference sound setting unit 250, the reference sound 1 is set to be partially opened, the reference sound 2 to completely open, the reference sound 3 to partially close, and the reference sound 4 to completely close, If the same alarm sound as any one of the reference sounds is heard, the open / close state of the corresponding curtain is realized.

Embodiment 3 is a case in which the construction of the present invention is applied to a curtain 700 [1] with a small door 710 (FIG. 7). Figures 7a and 7b are respectively a front view and a side view of an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a cloth curtain with a small door [1].
