Abstract
An electrical system, comprising: at least one electrical terminal and switching means for said at least one electrical terminal, wherein the system comprises a wireless network comprising multiple distributed modules, each module at least comprising an electrical terminal, and a data management organ, wherein said distributed modules and said data management organ are arranged to entertain wireless communication with each other.
Description
An electrical system comprising an electrical terminal and switching means for said electrical terminal
The invention relates to an electrical system comprising at least one electrical terminal and switching means for said at least one electrical terminal. Such an electrical system is known from practice and is for instance used to light the interior of buildings. The electrical terminal can be a conventional outlet socket capable to receive and feed an electrical appliance.
It is known that such an electrical system may comprise features to make the system respond to the environment, for instance to switch on the electrical terminal depending on whether or not the room is occupied.
It is an object of the invention to propose an electrical system, the use of which is tailored to both the needs of an individual user, as well as the requirements of the exploiter of the building in which the electrical system is implemented .
The requirements of such an electrical system are properly met in a system according to the invention, which has the features of one or more of the appended claims.
In a first aspect of the invention, the electrical system is characterized by a wireless network comprising multiple distributed modules, each module at least comprising an electrical terminal, and a data management organ, wherein said distributed modules and said data management organ are arranged to entertain wireless communication with each other.
This provides the opportunity to centrally control the operation of the individual modules, and to monitor the consumption on an individual level of each module. This purpose is further promoted by arranging that said distributed modules are arranged to entertain wireless communication with each other for providing a communication path enabling communication between the data management organ and each of the distributed modules. Advantageously and in connection with enabling an effective communication between each of the distributed modules and the data management organ, the distributed modules each comprise a unique identification number to identify such mod- ule.
Preferably the distributed modules each comprise each comprise an intelligent organ (at least a CPU, preferably complemented with a memory) to receive and/or transmit or resend data and to recognize whether the concerning module is the intended recipient of the data; and to switch on or off the at least one electrical terminal of any such distributed module based on said data. Thus a virtual wireless network is provided offering the backbone that may be intelligently used to centrally switch at any desired moment the electrical terminals of the respective modules on or off in the various rooms of a building that are provided with such modules, enabling improved energy savings as compared to prior art electrical systems. In connection therewith it is beneficial that each of the modules comprises an electricity consumption meter.
In another aspect of the invention the distributed modules are arranged to communicate with immediately neighboring modules to check whether such modules are alive, and to automatically connect to another (more distant) alive module or modules if any one of the neighboring modules is defect, so as to maintain a communication path to the data management organ. In this way the modules of the electrical system are arranged to form a self-healing wireless network to ensure at all times the presence of a wireless communication path between the distributed modules and the database management organ.
The invention will hereinafter be further elucidated with reference to the drawing of an exemplary embodiment of an electrical system according to the invention that is not limiting as to the appended claims.
In the drawing: - figure 1 shows an electrical system according to the invention; -figure 2 shows a single module forming part of the electrical system of figure 1; -figure 3A shows a detail of the system of figure 1 with reference to its operation when all modules are operational; and -figure 3B shows a detail of the system of figure 1 with reference to its operation when one of the modules is not functional.
Whenever in the figures the same reference numerals are applied, these numerals refer to the same or similar parts.
Figure 1 shows the electrical system 1 of the invention comprising multiple electrical terminals 2 that are embodied in distributed modules 3. The system 1 also comprises switching means 4 that are comprised in a data management platform 5. The data management platform 5 and the distributed modules 3 are part of a wireless network 6, wherein said distributed modules 3 are arranged to entertain wireless communication with each other and with said data management organ 5. In this manner the switching means 4 of the data management organ 5 can wirelessly control the operation of each of the distributed modules 3. In connection therewith the distributed modules 3 each comprise a unique identification number 7 as shown in figure 2 to identify each individual module 3 so that the control actions of the data management organ 5 arrive at the intended recipient module 3.
Figure 2 further shows that each distributed module 3 comprises an intelligent organ 8 which is equipped to receive and/or transmit or resend data. The intelligent organ 8 normally comprises a CPU and a memory to temporarily store the data. In this way each of the modules 3 assists in maintaining a wireless network 6 with the required communication path between each of the respective modules 3 and the data management organ 5, as will be further explained hereinafter with reference to figure 3A and figure 3B. Said intelligent organ 8 is also equipped to switch on or off the electrical terminal 2 of the module 3 of which it forms part subject to the control of the data management organ 5. Each module 3 may also be equipped with an electricity consumption meter 9, the measurements of which can be relayed to the data management organ 5 so as to enable the latter to execute the proper control actions based on these measurements.
Figure 3a shows a part of the electrical system 1 as shown in figure 1, wherein a possible communication path 10 is shown between a module 3' and the data management organ 5 via an intermediate module 3''. In this case the cooperating modules 3', 3'' seek for instance for the shortest possible communication path 10 between the module 3' and the data management organ 5.
Figure 3b shows the same part of the electrical system 1 as shown in figure 3a with the exception of said module 3'' being defect, which causes module 3' to seek for a surrounding module 3''' to form a new communication path 11 between module 3' and the data management organ 5 so as to maintain the wireless network 6 for exchanging information between module 3' and the data management organ 5.
Although the invention has been discussed in the foregoing with reference to an exemplary embodiment of the electrical system of the invention, the invention is not restricted to this particular embodiment which can be varied in many ways without departing from the gist of the invention. The discussed exemplary embodiment shall therefore not be used to construe the appended claims strictly in accordance therewith. On the contrary the embodiment is merely intended to explain the wording of the appended claims without intent to limit the claims to this exemplary embodiment. The scope of protection of the invention shall therefore be construed in accordance with the appended claims only, wherein a possible ambiguity in the wording of the claims shall be resolved using this exemplary embodiment .
