Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a louver facing an indoor space, and more particularly to a louver suitable for automatically adjusting the amount of light supplied to an indoor space. [Prior Art] Sufficient indoor lighting is required in a comfortable working and leisure environment such as in a building, a car, or any other indoor application. Indoor lighting can be provided by light entering through a window, such as sunlight, or artificial lighting, such as any kind of light. In sunny days of the year, such as in the summer, blinds are often used on windows to block sunlight from interior spaces. A conventional louver allows for flexible adjustment of light entering through a window by tilting the slats or sheets of the louver. However, it is difficult to continuously provide sufficient lighting conditions in an indoor space using a conventional shutter. In addition, the light provided by a conventional blind may not be sufficient to achieve a sufficient and comfortable indoor illumination. Therefore, there is a need to provide new devices and systems that will overcome these problems. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION One object of the present invention is to fully or partially overcome the above disadvantages and obstacles of the prior art, and to provide a more effective alternative to the above techniques and prior art. More specifically, it is an object of the present invention to provide a blind that can be continuously and appropriately illuminated indoors. The present invention is based on the insight that a light detecting mechanism can be disposed on one of the slats of the louver 13I469.doc 200916642 window, the louver and the light detecting mechanism facing an indoor space for detecting light in the indoor space strength. Therefore, according to a first aspect of the present invention, a louver facing an indoor space is proposed. The one hundred leaf solid includes a support member and a plurality of slats connected to the support member by means of at least one of: a hanging system. The suspension system is adapted to suspend the slats while the louver system is in an unfolded state. At least one of the S Xuan slats is a hks, and the G includes at least one light 4 wood measuring mechanism for detecting a light intensity level in the indoor space, and the amount of light provided by the louver is responsive to The measured light intensity is adjusted. According to a second aspect of the invention, a method as defined by the appended claim 12 is presented. An advantage of the louver and method of the present invention is that the intensity of the light can be continuously detected in the interior space' thereby enabling continuous control of the light provided by the louver. Such a louver f can provide a sufficient level of illumination, which applies to, for example, a "special case" in the indoor space.

Specifically, the inclination angle formed between each of the slats and the support member is ❹. Change to 9G. , G. The time corresponds to the slats being parallel to the time-position of the branch, 9G. The time corresponds to the slats being perpendicular to a closed position of the support member. The louver may have a regulator for controlling the tilt of each of the slats in response to the intensity of the detected light and a predetermined light intensity. The predetermined light intensity may be set by the user, according to the activity in the space (four) space, like or More or less light intensity or illumination. The adjuster will rotate the slats 131469.doc 200916642, causing the 4 louvers to provide - the amount of light corresponding to the predetermined light intensity. In another embodiment, at least one of the slats may include at least one illuminating mechanism that is advantageous in a condition that the light provided by the louver is not filled with a blade, such as sunlight. This solution is also advantageous because it provides a device that both covers and illuminates an interior space without requiring any additional space. The control rainbow is responsive to the intensity of the detected light being supplied from the regulator to the illumination mechanism to control the amount of light supplied to the indoor space. /Certificate - In the embodiment, the illumination mechanism and the light detecting mechanism are incorporated in the early component because it reduces the total weight of the 宠 · Μ Μ # 。 。 。 The illumination mechanism may preferably be an organic hairpin, a lean anode (OLED), which is advantageous because the OLED is a very efficient light source. In a further embodiment, at least one of the slats may comprise a semiconductor material, as the light detecting mechanism and the illuminating mechanism can be directly fabricated and incorporated into the slat, which is advantageous. In this case, the illumination device and the semiconductor material in which the light detecting mechanism is fabricated are the same as the material of the slat. Earthboard, etc. In a first alternative, a predetermined intensity of light can be placed on the regulator, the regulator controlling the amount of light provided to the interior in response to the intensity of the detected light. Typically, a user thereafter limps to 1, with a value corresponding to a light intensity. However, this value can be expressed, for example, as a percentage. The amount of light provided in the continuation of its inner space is indicated by the adjustment of the modulo, which saves the user from changing the predetermined value. In another alternative, the regulator can be operated by a remote control 131469.doc 200916642, because one person in the indoor space can be in charge

In the present application, a slat is defined as a thin rectangular panel. The short side of the rectangular panel corresponds to its width, and the long side of the rectangular panel corresponds to its length, the slat The thickness is typically shorter than the length and width of the slats and the slats may be planar or curved. [Embodiment] Referring to Figure 1, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described below. Figure 1 shows a cross-sectional view of one of the louvers including a support member 15 and a plurality of plates attached to the support member 15 by means of a suspension system 12: or sheets 11a-lld. The louver can be configured to face the interior of a window. For example, the window can separate an outdoor space from an indoor space such as an office, or can separate two indoor spaces, such as two adjacent offices. At least one of the slats na_Ud, the slats 11 C ' includes a light detecting mechanism 14 for detecting the level of light intensity in the indoor space. Although each of the slats of the louver i shown in Fig. 1 includes a light detecting mechanism, it is sufficient if at least one of the slats of the louver includes a light detecting mechanism. It is therefore not necessary for each slat to include a first detection mechanism. The money provided by the blind 1 can be adjusted in response to the 131469.doc 200916642 detection light intensity. If more than one light detecting mechanism is used, the light supplied by the louver _ 1 is adjusted in response to the calculation of the light intensity detected by the light detecting means. < The louver shown in Fig. 1 is in its unfolded state, i.e., the slats 11a-lld are suspended from the suspension system 12. In the unfolded state, if the slats 11a-lld are in the -open position, that is, 〇. The angle of inclination is parallel to the position of the support member 15, and the distance between two adjacent slats along the support line of the suspension system 12 approximates the width of a slat. However, the state of the louver 1 can be changed from a fully deployed state to a collapsed state. In the fully deployed state, the louver will normally, but not necessarily, cover the entire window, and the slats of the louver are all in the collapsed state. Compressed in, thereby allowing light to freely enter the interior space and form a single piece at the top, bottom or side of the window. The sinus light detecting mechanism 1 4 can transmit a Ιϋ _ ^ 固 悲 device, preferably a photodiode ‘or preferably a photodiode comprising an inorganic material. Figure 2 is a view showing the position of the slats 11a to Ud in the cross-section of the louver 2 according to another embodiment of the present invention - the angle of the slats 11a Ud is formed by the inclined angle 于 inclination angle system in the support member and the like The angle between the slats. The slats shown in Figure 2a! 〖a_丨1 (1 is not fully activated. H. The slats shown in Figure 2b are located at - open more positions, the position will correspond to - the inclination angle is equal to 0 °, and - the closed position will be庳 __ ν ' The tilt angle is equal to 90. or approximately 90.

The change in the angle from the inner edge is sufficient to control the light provided by the louver 131469.doc 200916642 through the amount of light in the louver, since it depends on the tilt angle for a given time of day.

For this purpose, the adjustment cry 16 of the predetermined space in the indoor space is arranged on the blind. In the preferred embodiment, the adjuster is disposed on the support member 15. The adjuster is adapted to receive the detected light intensity level from the light detecting mechanism 14 and is adapted to control the tilt angle of the slats 回应 in response to the detected light intensity level and the predetermined light intensity level. As a result, the slats Ua_Ud are inclined such that the amount of light corresponding to the predetermined level of the light intensity is supplied to the indoor space by the louver. If the tilt (four) is adjusted by the slats 11a-lld2, the amount of light provided by the louver is still insufficient. The adjuster 16 can control the slats Ua-Ud to cause the louver to be in a collapsed state, thereby allowing all light to be freely Enter through the window that may be configured with the blind. According to an embodiment, the regulator 16 may be adapted to output a control signal to modulate the tilt angle of the strips 11a-1 Id. The (four) signal can be supplied to the slats 11a_lid by means of a suspension wire of the suspension system 12, the suspension wires comprising a connecting wire or an f-wire. Another - selection system... wireless connection can be established in the 4 tuner 1 6 with these slats 丨丨 a_ 丨! The control signal is provided between d to the slats 1 . 13I469.doc 200916642 In an embodiment, a - remote control (4) can be used to operate the regulator 16. =: Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 The illumination mechanism 13 can be disposed on the slats 11a-11d of the louver 1, B π * ^ $ and can be controlled in response to the intensity of the detected light. This is particularly advantageous when the optimum tilt angle of one of the four slats is the maximum or the louver system provided by the louver 1, and the maximum amount of light supplied through the window when the slat is insufficient. The illumination mechanism U can also be controlled by the regulator 16. The lighting mechanism (4) Control: is executed in three different ways. In the first-alternative example, the illumination mechanisms disposed on the /etc slats 1 la-1 Id can be individually controlled so as to be in the louver! Any geometry or pattern is displayed on it. In the "second alternative" example, the illumination mechanisms of the particular slats may all be controlled together and are not necessarily controlled in the same manner as the illumination mechanism of the other slat. In a third alternative, all illumination mechanisms are controlled in the same manner to provide a homogeneous monochrome display. In the only example, the energy required to control the tilt angle of the illumination mechanism 13 or the slats on the slats is provided by the suspension system as a support line. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that any type of illumination mechanism can be used. However, in the preferred embodiment, solid state devices, particularly light emitting diodes, are used. These types of light sources are advantageous because they are small and thus easily incorporated into the slats of the louver. In particular, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) can be used. Since the immersion can be made to be very thin, having a thickness of, for example, 10 μΐ, the size of the louver does not increase much. In addition, 〇LEDs are very efficient light sources with one (four) efficiency compared to 131469.doc 200916642 for fluorescent lamps. In another further embodiment, the illumination mechanism 13 can be a combination of red, green and blue diodes for emitting white light from the louver. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the illumination mechanisms located on the slats of the louver can have any geometric configuration to achieve any desired lighting configuration or mode. The density of the light-emitting diode (the number of one pole per unit area) may vary depending on the application. In another further embodiment, the adjuster 16 can be used to control the amount of light provided by the illumination mechanism 13 disposed on the slats Ua_lld. Specifically, the adjuster 16 can be used to effect a smooth transition from daylight to illumination provided by only the illumination mechanism 13 of the louver 1. In particular, the adjuster 16 can control the illumination mechanism 13 to compensate for light that becomes dark when daylight becomes insufficient. The use of the light-emitting diode as the junction of the illumination mechanism 13 and the adjuster 成为 enables seamless conversion from daylight to artificial illumination because the light-emitting diode system is dimmable. + For example, the constant light level will be used in the working environment, and the smooth transition between the transformed daylight conditions may be difficult to achieve. Use in accordance with embodiments of this month's month—the blinds, for example, the office building, provide comfortable indoor lighting conditions for people working in the building. When the daylight fades, people can turn on the illumination at the louver. The illuminating mechanism is integrated into the louver: the middle eye, and the sunlight also enters the eight buildings through the louver to compensate for the change of the outdoor light h state. The smooth transition can be obtained by means of the dimming properties of the light-emitting diodes controlled by the regulator 16. In a progressive embodiment, at least one of the slats can include a semiconductor material in which the 131469.doc 200916642 light detecting mechanism 14 and the illuminating mechanism 13 can be fabricated. In this embodiment, the semiconductor material or substrate in which the illumination mechanism 13 and the light detecting mechanism 14 are fabricated corresponds to the material of the slats 11a-iid. Preferably, the substrate is reflective to ensure that the slats Haqld can be used to block an outdoor source, such as the sun, from the interior space. The substrate can be selected such that it reflects infrared light, thereby limiting the amount of infrared light entering the indoor space. Further, the substrate can be selected such that it maintains a high level of light intensity in the interior space. Although the louver 1 shown in Fig. 1 operates vertically, the louver according to the present invention can be operated horizontally or in any other direction. The invention is applicable to any lighting application such as office buildings, individual homes, warmth, peripheral lighting for special indoor effects, automotive lighting such as in cars, buses, train windows, and/or for compensating for daylight degradation. The present invention has been described in terms of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that, without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the following claims Several modifications are understandable.
