图2概述了该环境控制系统的运作流程的一个示例,包含以下步骤: 环境信息和(或)用户输入信息在步骤210被采集,这些信息数据经过步骤300A进行处理后在步骤220由处理模块110进行处理。步骤300A相关操作将在后文详细介绍。步骤230根据步骤220处理的结果判断是否需要控制模130块执行控制命令。若不需要控制模块130执行控制命令,或者虽然控制模块130需要执行命令,但部分或者全部数据仍需要存储,则经过步骤300B以及240来存储数据;若需要执行控制命令,则系统可以执行步骤250,经由步骤300B’和步骤260存储后,返回步骤210。步骤300B和步骤300B’相关操作将在后文详细介绍。被存储的数据可以进一步通过有线或无线的连接传输到外部设备(图中未体现),也可以由系统进一步用于模式分析和学习的功能(图中未体现)。此处的描述仅仅是一个具体实施例的主要过程,不应被视为是唯一的实施例,其中的各个步骤并不是必须的,整个流程及其具体步骤也并不局限于图中和上文的描述。例如,步骤210检测和(或)检测到当前室温,继而执行步骤300A从云服务器提取当时当地的天气信息,接着连接通信模块140推送通知给用户预报可能的天气预警等。接下来由步骤230根据用户对于室温的偏好或设定做出判断并由步骤250驱动空调和出风口来调节室温,而后由步骤300B’和260存储相关数据。通过反复执行步骤210、220、300A、230、250、300B’和260来使室温达到舒适的温度,最后执行步骤300B和步骤240存储相关的数据。需要说明的是,步骤210所述的采集信息包含了检测(单次或多次执行采集任务)和(或)监测(持续执行采集任务)的意思,该流程可以单次或多次运行,也可以在一定时间内,或始终持续运行。环境控制系统可以有自学习功能,通过环境控制系统收到的用户指令和(或)至少一部分存储的数据来学习用户的作息或活动习惯,生成模型对相关环境(比如温度,照明等)进行调节或控制。显然,类似的,对于本领域的专业人员来说,在了解本申请内容和原理后,都可能在不背离本技术原理、结构的情况下,对此流程进行形式和细节上的各种修正和改变,但是这些修正和改变仍在本申请的权利要求保护范围之内。
图3-A所体现的是步骤300A的一个实施例。步骤300A通过310、320、和330的三个判断流程来决定是否执行步骤350、360、和370。其中步骤 350通过连接存储设备进行数据或其它信息的读写,存储设备例如但不限于常见的各类存储设备如硬盘、闪存、磁带、光驱、云存储设备等等。该存储设备可以是环境控制系统内部的,也可以是环境控制系统的外接设备。该存储设备的连接方式可以是有线的,也可以是无线的。步骤360连接云端服务器进行数据或其它信息的读写。云端服务器可以是环境控制系统自带的,也可以是环境控制系统之外第三方的商用服务器。步骤370与通信模块140协作,除了读写数据的功能以外也可以执行环境控制系统对环境的控制,用户与用户,或用户与环境控制系统之间的通信。这里的通信泛指信号的单向或双向获取,信号可以包括但不局限于指令、编码、数字、文字、图片、声音和视频等内容。此处的描述仅仅是一个具体实施例的主要过程,不应被视为是唯一的实施例,其中的各个步骤并不是必须的,整个流程及其具体步骤也并不局限于图中和上文的描述。例如,步骤350、360的执行顺序可以是如图3-A所示,也可以在执行步骤350和360前先执行步骤370与通信模块140建立连接。步骤310、320及330可以分步进行,也可以同时进行。显然,对于本领域的专业人员来说,在了解本申请内容和原理后,都可能在不背离本技术原理、结构的情况下,对此流程进行形式和细节上的各种修正和改变,但是这些修正和改变仍在本发明的权利要求保护范围之内。图3-B所体现的是步骤300B和300B’的一个实施例。步骤300B和300B’在步骤300A的基础上增加了步骤380建立临时文件,即当不需要读写存储设备,不需要读写云端数据,也不需要建立通信的情况下,环境控制系统可以建立临时文件以备后用。

图6是处理模块110或处理功能的运行流程示意图,图中描述的流程仅仅为其中一个范例。通过步骤610,处理系统会从其它模块、存储设备520、或云服务器540里面获取信息,步骤620对获取的信息进行分析处理。步骤630会给出判断是否需要其它模块,或经由其它模块连接外部设备作出相应的动作。若需要作出应对,则会执行步骤680对比参数和690向相关模块发出指令,这里的参数泛指任何可以与采集得到的数据作对比的数据,例如但不限于,预设值,阈值,参考值,或预测值等。若不需要作出应对,则会执行步骤640统计所采集的数据,步骤650根据上述采集的数据、之前存储的数据以及其它参数建立一个模型,和步骤660存储数据。处理模块110的处理功能可以包括更多步骤,也可以省略图6所示的 任意一个或多个步骤。例如,在处理模块110对“开门”这一指令进行处理的时候,可以略过统计640和建立模型650这两个步骤。又例如,步骤680可以省略,如果步骤630给出判断需要作出应对,则执行步骤690向相关模块发出指令。
所有数据,例如但不限于用户指令,传感模块120所检测和(或)监测得到的数据,以及云服务器540中存储的数据等,在经由处理模块110收集和处理后,都会有选择的存入存储设备520和云服务器540,以便处理模块110读取和分析。这里提到的存储设备520泛指所有可以读取和(或)写入信息的媒介,例如但不局限于随机存储器(RAM)和只读存储器(ROM)。其中RAM有但不限于:十进计数管、选数管、延迟线存储器、威廉姆斯管、动态随机存储器(DRAM)、静态随机存储器(SRAM)、晶闸管随机存储器(T-RAM)、和零电容随机存储器(Z-RAM)等;ROM又有但不限于:磁泡存储器、磁钮线存储器、薄膜存储器、磁镀线存储器、磁芯内存、磁鼓存储器、光盘驱动器、硬盘、磁带、早期非易失存储器(NVRAM)、相变化内存、磁阻式随机存储式内存、铁电随机存储内存、非易失SRAM、闪存、电子抹除式可复写只读存储器、可擦除可编程只读存储器、可编程只读存储器、屏蔽式堆读内存、浮动连接门随机存取存储器、纳米随机存储器、赛道内存、可变电阻式内存、和可编程金属化单元等。以上提及的存储设备是列举了一些例子,该控制系统可以使用的存储设备并不局限于此。
除此以外,数据的读写还可以通过云存储的方式。云存储是云计算的一部分,主要通过互联网来连接一组或多组远端服务器,并实现数据的几种存储和处理。在环境控制系统中所使用的云计算模式可以是公共的,个人的,或二者并用的。例如,用户的个人信息、家庭或工作环境中获取的数据和相应参数都可以在个人云中存储和计算,这里所谓个人云在读写过程中都需要进行一定程度的身份识别,而一些例如天气信息等的数据可以来自于公共云。由处理模块110来选择读取个人云和公共云中的数据。
云计算除了运用在数据的存储以外,也可以用在数据处理分析上。当处理模块110接收到数据后,可以对数据进行步骤640的统计和步骤650 的建立模型两部处理。首先,其它模块所采集到的数据、存储设备上读取的数据、和云服务器540上存储的数据可以由处理模块110集中整理汇总。接下来,这些数据会作为统计样本已辅助建立一个数学模型,这个数学模型可以分析、判断、预测和模仿环境的变化和用户的行为特点。例如,人和动物在室内走动的模式,灯光开关的时间和数量,电器的使用习惯,用户的个人信息,用户对多媒体形式、内容的选择和观看时间等、温度和湿度的偏好,门窗开启的时间,用户的落锁习惯,水的用量、温度和时间,用户上厕所的频率和饮食习惯,用户的健康状况,用户的饮食习惯,用户的语言习惯(包括口音、惯用词、和情绪表达等),访客的个人信息,访客到访的频率等。以上所举例主要基于个人云和其它采集数据的分析建模,另外,还可以再次基础上结合公共云所提供的信息来建立更完善的模型。例如,结合天地和气候信息计算一年中和一天中适宜的温湿度、通风时间;通过社交网络分析用户与访客的社交关系;结合区域新闻调整家庭住所或工作场地的安全要求标准等。这些数学模型通过大量的数据统计和计算以及实证检验来预测和模拟用户和环境的变量,这类模型的用处有很多。例如,对用户的生活或工作习惯进行分析,让用户在发出较少或最少指令的情况下实现环境控制的自动化;通过这种学习该环境控制系统在发现异常情况(如天气突变、用户健康隐患、安全隐患、和非法入侵等)的时候可以做出相应的措施;还可以随时模拟用户对电器的使用情况,哪怕用户不在家或公司,以减少安全危害。对数据的统计分析和建模并不局限于上述这些方法和用途。例如,这种对数据的统计和分析还可以利用云服务器540和大数据等建立一个人工智能系统,该人工智能系统可以分析用户的动作以及和用户互动等。

灯光苏醒模式3531和睡眠模式3532算法的实现方式包括但不限于软件实现方式以及硬件实现方式。软件实现方式包括但不限于利用目前常用的C,C++,Python,Java,Javascript,Fortran,Visual C++,以及汇编语言,硬件实现方式包括但不限于单片机,集成电路(IC),芯片等。可利用的计算机设备包括但不限于个人电脑,服务器,和微电子设备等,例如:个人台式机,个人笔记本电脑,掌上电脑(PDA),平板电脑,以及其它在本申请说明书中披露的实例。以上描述的例子仅作为方便说明之用,可控的软硬件还可以包括其它方面,例如:智能防盗模式和车载电子模式等。

图39是环境控制系统中安防模式的一种实施方案。用户通过环境控制系统的操作界面设定安防密钥以启动安防模式。触摸屏上可以显示提示,提醒用户当前页面是关于安防模式。触摸屏上还可以有提示3930,告诉用户需要先输入安防密钥以启动安防模式。如果用户选择不启动安防模式,用户可以点击差号(X)3920。用户可点击钩号(√)3910选择继续,进入密钥输入的界面。用户可通过触摸屏上的数字键盘输入密钥。假设环境控制系统允许包含其它符号(例如字母、特殊符合等)的密钥,触摸屏上的键盘则包含这些符号。用户点击数字时,数字可以发光以使用户看到输入的内容。数字的光亮可以在点击动作结束一段时间后结束,例如1s,2s,3s,或者更长。如图40所示触摸屏上可以显示安防模式提示图标4010、用户输入密钥的位数4020和数字键盘4030。用户可以点击钩号(√)4032确认输入完成。用户也可以点击后退箭头(←)4031撤销最新的输入。
其中该密钥的形式包括但不限于,物理钥匙、数字密码、文字密码、符号密码、声音密码、图像密码、指纹密码、虹膜密码和电磁波密码等,也可以是以上几种形式组合成的密钥。假如该安防密钥是符号与数字的组合,密钥中符号与数字各自的位数以及密钥的总长度可以根据具体场景而定。环境控制系统可以指定密钥的构成以提高安全性。比如环境控制系统可以指定密钥的最小长度,密钥组成(例如:至少有一个数字,一个大写字母,一个小写字母,一个特殊符号),等等。密钥可以用来证实用户对 房屋或房屋的某特定部分的特权。另外,密钥也可以用来明确用户对该环境控制系统的访问权限。一个环境控制系统可以有多个密钥,不同密钥可以指定不同的进入特权和(或)访问权限。例如,第一密钥提供全部的进入特权(例如,进入房屋任何部分的权利)和访问权限(例如,设置和更改环境控制系统装置的整体或部分(例如,空调模式、安防模式、智能照明模式等)的权利)。第一密钥可以提供给环境控制系统所安置之处该环境控制系统的管理人员(例如,房屋的拥有者)。第一密钥可以由环境控制系统提供作为主密钥。第一密钥可以由管理人员设置。环境控制系统可以要求管理人员在设置第一密钥之前提供主密钥。假设管理人员忘记第一密钥,环境控制系统可以提供给管理人员找回或重置第一密钥的机会。第二密钥可以提供部分进入特权,但无访问权限。第二密钥可以提供给其它人,例如该家庭的儿童,该儿童可以进入房屋的某些部分,但另一些儿童单独出现有危险的部分(例如,游泳池、浴室、有机器存在的车间等)除外。儿童在获得第二密钥的前提下,将不能更改系统设备。第三密钥提供部分进入特权(例如,进入房屋部分而非全部地方的权利)和部分访问权限(例如,设置和更改部分环境控制系统设备(除安防模式之外的,例如,空调模式、智能照明模式等)的权利。第三密钥可以提供给诸如清洁人员的人,他们可以进入需要清洁的房间,但不能进入房屋其它部分。清洁人员在提供第三密钥的前提下,可以更改环境控制系统的部分装置。安防密钥存储在环境控制系统中,供其它模块在实施安防时调用。
如图41所示,输入安防模式的密钥后,界面4100会显示是否启动安防模式的提示4130、叉号(X)4120表示取消和钩号(√)4110表示确定。安防模式有工作与不工作两种状态可供选择。假设安防模式被设置为工作状态,传感模块120开始检测信息,其采集的信息则会被判定是否有嫌疑目标(如陌生人、强盗以及其它所有不知晓安防密钥的目标)出现。传感模块120包括若干个传感器,如在其它披露处所描述。为了便于说明,此处假设传感模块120检测的信息是为了分析是否出现移动物体,其检测方法包括但不限于用视频采集装置获取包含图像和声音信息的视频。需要注意的是,本处传感模块检测移动物体的示例,只是为了方便理解,对于 其它能够辨别是否有嫌疑目标出现的数据信息,比如声音、光线、重量、温度、压强、速度和加速度、瞳孔、人脸等信息或这些信息的组合,也可以被传感模块120进行检测。例如传感模块120可以对人脸信息进行检测,以供分析。
传感模块120将检测到的信息传递给处理模块110进行分析判断,其判定方法包含并不限于,将采集到的信息与一定的参数(例如一个参照值、参照区间、阈值、预设值或预测值)进行对比。该参数可以由用户设定,也可以由环境控制系统根据自学习功能习得。通过处理模块110分析后,假设采集的信息满足某项参数要求(例如符合某个参照值,进入某个参照区间,超过某个阈值/预设值/预测值等),则该信息即为嫌疑信息,环境控制系统会对该嫌疑信息作出相应的反应。该反应是为了进一步判定该嫌疑信息是否安全。其判定方法包含但并不限于,需要用户在一定时间间隔内,向环境控制系统输入正确的安防密钥来解除该嫌疑信息。该时间间隔的长短(例如20s、40s、60s等)可以由用户事先设定,或环境控制系统根据自学习功能习得。若通过传感模块120进入处理模块110的信息不满足某项参数要求(例如不符合某个参照值,未进入某个参照区间,未超过某个阈值/预设值/预测值等),则该信息视为安全,可以被删除,也可以被存储起来以供他用。
嫌疑信息若在一定时间内未被解除,处理模块110开始向传感模块120、控制模块130、通信模块140等模块中的一个模块或者多个模块发送指令。其中,对传感模块130发送的指令包含对传感模块的动作指令,假设传感模块120中具有摄像头,那么该动作指令内容包含但不限于控制摄像头的角度、焦距、分辨率、拍摄模式、拍摄时长等。对控制模块130传输的指令包含对控制模块130所控制内容的开关或调节。控制模块130可以控制的内容包含但不限于控制电流、电动机、计算机设备等。其中的电流控制包括但不限于控制外部设备的通电和断电电流等;其中电动机的控制包括但不限于,控制电动机的开关与否、位移大小、速度、加速度、旋转角度、角速度、角加速度等;计算机设备包括但不限于,个人电脑,服务器,和微电子设备等。假设控制模块130中具有报警设备,那么指令包 含但不限于开启或关闭报警设备等。对通信模块140传输的指令可以是检测网络坏境、确认接收终端、连接或中止通信、传输目的信息等。需要注意的是,处理模块110向其它模块发送的指令并不限于以上所举之例,该技术领域的普通技术人员完全可以在无创新的情况下,根据实际需要进行调整。例如若在夜晚,传感模块120中视频采集传感器则要选用红外技术,以便在不惊扰嫌疑目标的情况下进行拍摄。另外,假设处理模块110向多个模块发送指令,其顺序先后、控制强度、动作频率可以根据实际情况由用户设定或环境控制系统(或安防模式)自身机器训练习得。例如,处理模块110可以首先向传感模块120发送指令,使其摄像头跟踪并记录嫌疑信息,然后向控制模块130发送指令,打开报警装置和灯光闪烁,最后向通信模块140发送指令,建立通信连接,将嫌疑信息传输给用户读取终端,其中模块间接收指令的时间间隔根据实际情况设定。处理模块110也可以同时向传感模块120、控制模块130和通信模块140发送以上指令。
进一步的,如图42所示,智能开关4210会将采集的信息,例如但不限于声音、视频、动作和物体的其它各种信息等,经由云服务器4220发送给用户的移动设备4230,而移动设备4230上会显示相应的信息4231。安防模式除了对人居环境室内的检测报警以外,也可以用于对周边环境检测报警。进一步的,一个安防模式的设备可以安装在住宅玄关以检测玄关和前院和(或)后院的安全状况。例如,检测玄关是否有人经过,在检测到物体移动并且该移动物体的大小和移动规则满足参照值(例如阈值、预设值和预测值等)的情况下,自动记录下这些变化的相应信息等。这些相应的信息包括但不限于声音、图像、视频、物体的动作和身份等。这些信息可以通过如图42所示的方式发送给用户,而用户则可以在移动设备或个人电脑等的设备上作出进一步动作。这项功能可以防止例如快递员放置在玄关的包裹被盗取;或有人非法进入前院和(或)后院等。以上举例只为了说明方便,安防模式的应用还可以有其它类型,例如安防模式可以对目标场所进行分时和(或)分区控制。可以将家庭的不同房间按照所放物品贵重程度赋予权重,例如对于书房、收藏室或具有较易入侵窗口等房间的安防级别可以定义为最高,客厅、厨房、卧室等房间的安防级别定义为 中等,洗手间或浴室等房间的安防级别定义为最低,针对不同级别,其安防强度(例如是否全天候,是否需要输入密钥等)有所不同。另外还可以将不同房间按照相对位置分区,例如楼上房间与楼下房间,在白天家庭人员不在家时,楼上与楼下均开启安防模式;夜晚家庭成员在楼上活动,可以暂时关闭楼上安防,只开启楼下安防。安防模式的分时和(或)分区域可以达到节能及其它目的。该领域的普通技术人员,还可以进行其它扩展或修改,诸如此类的变动,均在本申请的保护范围之内。
用户接收到嫌疑信息后,可以作出最后的判定。假设确实为嫌疑信息,并将指令通过指令传输给环境控制系统后,系统自身可以采取一定的防御措施,例如自动拨打报警电话、发送报警信息、判断卧室房门是否紧锁以保证用户人身安全等。
需要注意的是,以上所述安防模式的流程与模块,只是为了便于理解。在实际实施场景中,该领域的普通技术人员可以在毫无创新的前提下,对流程或模块的内容作出扩充或精简。例如,传感模块120也可以越过处理模块110,直接与控制模块130、通信模块140进行数据交换。相应地在流程上,传感模块110采集的信息也可不经过处理模块110处理,直接影响控制模块130或直接经通信模块140传输。这些都包含在此申请的保护范围内。
图43是环境控制系统控制外部设备的一种实施方案。
如图43,外部电源4310通过环境控制系统的电源模块4320与处理模块110连接。其中,外部电源4310是能够为环境控制系统供电的电源,包括但不限于外接电源、蓄电池和发电机等,详如文中其它披露之处所述。电源模块4320可以直接给处理模块110供电,也可以通过电池充电设备4330间接给处理模块110供电。其中,电池充电设备4330可以采用可充电电池,具体如文中其它披露之处所述。在环境控制系统中,还可以采取一定的方式便于电源管理。例如但不限于设置低电量报警功能4340,可以在用户操作界面上设置特定图标来显示供电类型(例如外接电源、蓄电池或发电机等)、剩余电量(例如用方格或百分比来显示)或充电状态(充电或不充电)等参数。其中,系统会对剩余电量设置一个最低阈值或安全 阈值,当电量低于该阈值后,系统会采取一定的措施通知用户,例如但不限于自动报警,以确保系统正常运行。为了便于理解,假设该系统处于一种蓄电池供电、剩余电量低于最低阈值、且没有被充电的情况下,那么自动报警功能被启用,直到用户对以上情况进行改善,改善方法包含但不限于更换电池、对电池充电、改用交流电等。处理模块110可以发送一系列动作指令,接收指令的对象包含但不限于电流、电动机和计算机设备等,如文中其它披露之处所述。假设控制对象为电动机4360,其控制内容包含但不限于控制电动机的开关与否、位移大小、速度、加速度、旋转角度、角速度、角加速度等。处理模块110可以将特定动作指令通过一定方式传输给电动机4360,电动机4360带动外部设备产生相应的动作。其中的外部设备1443可以包括但不限于电源、网络通信设备、通信模块、多媒体设备和家用电器等。进一步的,家用电器可以包括但不限于排风扇、冰箱、洗衣机、电视机、空调、厨房电器、卫浴电器等。例如,外部设备1443为智能风扇的出风口,其中风扇的类型包含但不限于家用电风扇和工业用排风扇,其中家用电风扇包含但不限于吊扇、台扇、落地扇、壁扇、顶扇、换气扇、转页扇、空调扇等。智能风扇从处理模块110接收的指令包含但不限于控制风扇的出风口的大小、方向、扇叶旋转速度和加速度、送风量等,以达到控制室内温度的目的。这样每个房间的温度就可以根据需要实时地进行调节,以达到节省能耗的目的。另一方面,处理模块110发送的动作指令可以通过通信模块140来控制其它通信设备4350。其中通信模块140的通信方式可以是有线的也可以是无线的,其中无线通信方式包含但不限于无线电通信、自由空间光通信、声通信、和电磁感应等,具体如文中其它披露之处所述。通信设备4350包括无线通信设备和有线通信设备,例如但不限于无线设备(笔记本、无线电视、移动电话等)、蓝牙设备、ZigBee网络设备、近场通信设备等。
需要注意的是,以上所举智能风扇之例,只是为了理解环境控制系统如何控制外部设备,并不包含对所有外部设备的控制范式。例如,该外部设备是智能供暖系统时,处理模块110的指令可以包含但不限于:是否开启壁炉、是否添加燃料、燃料添加量、炉火大小、炉门大小、是否开启排 风扇等。对于智能风扇本身,本领域的普通技术人员,也可以做出拓展。例如控制对象为空调,其出风口控制模块的电源供给形式如图44,电源可以是外接电源、蓄电池和发电机等。假设其电源为蓄电池4440,那么蓄电池又分为一次性电池和可充电电池。假设为可充电电池,那么可充电电池的充电方式可以是外接电源、或者发动机4310。假设可充电电池是由发动机发电,那么其实现方式包含但不限于利用位于房间通风管道4420的风能发电机4430进行发电。利用风力发电得到的电量存入可充电电池4440,带动驱动电机4450供控制出风口4470使用。对于可充电电池4440的电量,也可以增加电量提示功能,例如指示灯4460,当剩余电量低于一定阈值时产生报警。再例如,通风模式中的处理模块110还可以有气体成分传感器4370,用以检测和(或)检测特定场所内特定场所的气体成分和(或)含量,这些气体可以来自环境也可以来自人体。环境中的气体包含但不限于一氧化碳、二氧化碳、氧气、臭氧、氨气、甲烷、甲醛、苯及苯系物、烟雾、以及其他有机或无机气体。人的气体包含但不限于信息素以及人体所散发的其他气味。这些气体的成分或含量数据传输到处理模块110后,可以控制智能风扇(如排风扇)的出风口4470的大小、方向、扇叶旋转速度和加速度、送风量等,达到控制房间气体清新的目的。该智能通风模式的设备可以安装在墙体4410上,与通风管道4420相连。
图45是环境控制系统中视频语音通话的一种实施方案。界面4500中显示视频语音通话图标4510、按住标志通话文字说明4511、和操作提示4520,以及通话区域选择图标4530。
为了方便说明,此处举例介绍视频语音通话的一种实施方案:视频语音通话系统具有处理模块110、传感模块120、控制模块130和通信模块140组成。使用时,用户打开视频语音通话输入操作指令,处理模块110将用户的操作转化为对传感模块120的控制指令,传感模块120将采集的对讲信息传输给处理模块110,处理模块110发送指令开启通信模块140,通信模块140将对讲信息传输到特定接收设备。
用户打开视频语音通话的方式,可以直接通过环境系统本身的操作界面,也可以通过用户终端。用户终端包含所有能够安装环境系统应用程序 的设备,例如并不限于台式机、笔记本电脑、掌上电脑(PDA)、平板电脑、移动终端(手机等)等设备。用户可以通过界面选择要进行通话的房间,这些房间包括并不限于客厅、起居室、卧室、婴儿房、书房、厨房、卫生间、浴室等,也可以是用户自定义的其它房间,这些房间可以相距很近,也可以相距很远。用户可以在某一个房间之中,也可以距离这些房间很远。用户可以选择单独与某一个房间对讲,也可以同时与几个房间对讲。
处理模块110将用户的这些操作转化为一系列指令,处理模块110可以向传感模块120、控制模块130、通信模块140等模块中的一个模块或多个模块发送所述指令。对传感模块120发送的指令内容包含但并不限于开启特定的信息采集传感器等,其中信息采集的内容可以是视频、音频或文字消息等,信息采集传感器可以是摄像头、麦克风、文字输入设备等。对控制模块130发送的指令内容包含但不限于开启目标房间里的听筒、视频播放窗口等,其中听筒和视频播放窗口可以在环境控制系统本身的操作界面上,也可以在用户终端上。假设用户使用终端,对通信模块140发送的指令包含但不限于开启通信模块、接收用户通过终端传递的信息(比如语音、视频或文字消息)等。其中的通信模块140与外界或环境控制系统内其它通信模块的连接可以是有线连接或无线连接。其中有线连接包括但不限于使用金属电缆、光学电缆或者金属和光学的混合电缆,无线连接包括但不限于无线电通信、自由空间光通信、声通信、和电磁感应等。
从传感模块120采集到的信息,或者通信模块140从用户接收的信息,传递到处理模块110,处理模块110发送指令到通信模块140,通信模块140选择适当的通信方式将用户信息传递给目标房间。其中适当的通信方式,是根据是否有终端设备、网络环境如何、信息文件大小等诸多条件综合分析后作出的最优传输策略。例如,假设用户使用环境控制系统界面录制消息,目标房间的用户用移动设备(如手机)进行接收,那么环境系统会优先选择适用手机的通信方式,例如无线网络(蓝牙、WLAN、Wi-Fi等)、移动网络(2G、3G或4G信号)、或其它连接方式(VPN、共享网络、NFC等)传递消息,而不需要间接通过目标房间的环境系统操作界面再传递给手机,增加传递效率。
目标房间的用户收到的消息,可以自动打开,也可以经目标房间的用户点击后再打开。目标房间的用户可以选择以下操作不对信息做任何处理,可以选择回复消息(其操作方式如上述流程),可以选择屏蔽消息,可以选择储存或删除消息,可以选择转发消息等。
图46所示的是视频语音通话模式的一个用户界面实施例。该实施例列举了智能开关4610与智能开关4620、4630和(或)4640之间的通话。其中每个智能开关都具备扬声装置4680和声音采集装置4690等。智能开关显示界面中有区域指示4650,和选择指示4670。其中可以进行视频语音通话的区域包括但不限于一个或多个浴室4661、一个或多个卧室4662、一个或多个客厅4663和一个或多个厨房4664。
另外,视频语音通话模式还支持电话接听功能,其实现方式可以是作为一个独立的通话设备,例如但不限于固定电话、移动电话等,具有特定号码,具有拨打或接听功能。例如但不限于在智能开关中设置SIM卡卡槽,可以实现手机拨号与接听功能。视频语音通话模式的接听功能还可以通过与固定电话或移动电话相连来实现,其连接方式可以是有线的,也可以是无线的,详细可参看文中的通信模块描述。当固定电话或移动电话被呼叫时,若用户不方便马上找到电话,可以就近开启该系统上的通话键进行通话。例如某用户在浴室或卫生间时,客厅电话被呼叫或手机不在身旁,那么用户可以在浴室直接接听电话而不必选择拒接或跑到客厅去接听。
在另一个视频语音通话模式的实施例中,一个环境控制系统中的设备可以通过例如互联网或运营商网络等媒介,和另外一个或多个环境控制系统中的设备进行视频语音通话。例如,用户可以通过家中的智能开关1410给在另一个街道,城市或国家的另一个用户家中的智能开关1410拨打视频语音通话;可以通过智能开关1410与邻居进行语音视频通话等。以上举例只是为了方便说明,这个事实例的应用还可以是在其它情景下的,例如,用户A用环境控制系统A中的电视1448-1,1448-2或1448-3等(例如带有摄像设备和音频采集设备的电视等)连接到智能开关1410,并接通与用户B的视频语音通话,而用户B利用环境控制系统B中的移动设备1430完成与用户A的语音视频通话。
视频语音信号可以由一个智能开关上的摄像设备获取,用户可以选择视频通话和(或)语音通话。用户可以从一个智能开关、移动设备、电视等其它设备上发起视频语音通话,也可以在一个智能开关、移动设备、电视等其它设备上接听视频语音通话,这种接听方式可以是自动接通的(例如,环境控制系统接收到视频语音通话邀请时自动开启相应设备,开始视频语音通话等),也可以是手动的接听(例如,环境控制系统接收到视频语音通话邀请时会发出如鸣响或闪烁等提示,用户继而在界面上选择是否接听等)。另外,用户还可以设置勿扰时段,例如,在晚上10点到早上6点期间拒绝接听视频语音电话等。用户也可以设置好友通信录以及黑名单,记录下例如位置、电话号码、IP地址或对方用户个人信息等。
需要注意的是,以上所述视频语音通话的流程与模块,只是为了便于理解。在实际实施场景中,该领域的普通技术人员可以在毫无创新的前提下,对流程或模块的内容作出扩充或精简。例如,传感模块120也可以越过处理模块110,直接与控制模块130、通信模块140进行数据交换。例如在流程上,传感模块110采集的信息也可不经过处理模块110处理,直接影响控制模块130或直接经通信模块140传输。这些都包含在此申请的保护范围内。

环境控制系统具有自学习功能,下面举例说明其自学习过程的一种实施方案:环境控制系统根据运行过程中获得的数据,分析其中规律,不断优化算法,最后达到对未知情形作出判断的程度。其中的数据包含但不限于环境控制系统通过传感模块140得到的数据、用户的日常使用习惯、环境控制系统被动输入的数据等类型的一种或多种组合。

需要注意的是,以上所举之例只是为了方便理解,自学习的范式并不限于以上所述情况。该领域的普通技术人员,可以根据以上所述的自学习原理,对技术作出改变。
人工智能实施例一:电器智能管家
本处为环境控制系统作为电器智能管家的一种实施例。环境控制系统可以将所有或部分的家用电器按一定方法接入环境控制系统内,对它们做分布式或集中式管理。例如,可以通过图30所示的设置界面进入添加新家电的模式。用户可以在此模式下将一个或多个设备或电器与环境控制系统配对,使环境控制系统与其具备通信能力并获取该个或多个设备或电器的信息和控制该个或多个设备或电器。这些家用电器包括但不限于:多媒体电子设备、办公电器、厨房电器、卫浴电器和其它家用电器等。其中,多媒体电子设备包括但不限于电视、个人电脑、音响、家用游戏终端(如Microsoft Xbox系列和Sony PlayStation系列等)、电视机机顶盒、影音播放设备和网络电视终端等;办公电器包括但不限于服务器、打印设备、扫描设备、电话、碎纸机之类的电器等;厨房电器包括但不限于抽油烟机、电炉、电磁炉、微波炉、烤箱、电冰箱、洗碗机和例如烤面包机、榨汁机、搅拌机之类的小型厨房电器等;卫浴电器包括但不限于热水器、洗衣机、烘干机和例如吹风机、美容仪之类的小型卫浴电器等;其它家用电器包括但不限于供暖设备、空调、照明设备、中央热水设备、门铃、路由器、数据存储塔、移动设备的充电器和智能设备的网关终端等。以上举例只是为了方便说明,家用电器还可以是其它类型,例如,家庭影院、汽车和其它家用电器。

需要注意的是,在用户使用过程中,会产生一系列的动作,环境系统具有自学习功能,将会适应其它的不同情形,并不局限于以上所举之例。另外,环境控制系统对电器的控制也不是特定的模式,系统可以根据用户的实时动作,智能化与流畅化地协调各个电器。例如环境控制系统每次接收或发送某种指令前,会根据传感模块来判断用户的情况。例如7:15盥洗室照明灯当开启,但是若传感模块未检测到用户出现,便会延迟开启,以达到节能作用。
人工智能实施例二:智能聊天服务
环境控制系统具有智能聊天功能,此处举出其中的一种实施方案。当用户出现在环境控制系统检测范围内,环境控制系统开始搜集用户信息, 根据信息识别用户身份。识别出用户后,环境控制系统查询储存的该用户的数据库,根据该用户的特点、习惯或倾向,输出聊天内容。得到用户的回答后,环境控制系统会判断该回答的语义,以确定下一步聊天内容,或完成用户的指令。环境控制系统采集用户信息时,可以使用智能开关内在或外部传感器,所搜集的信息包含但不限于用户和环境的信息或参数,用户的信息包含并不限于用户的面部、体型、动作、速度和加速度、声音、表情、温度、气味、信息素等,环境信息包含但不限于图像、声音、温度、湿度、压力、气体、电磁波等,环境控制系统搜集的信息可以是以上信息中的一种,也可以多种信息的组合。所采用的传感器包含但不限于视频传感器、运动传感器、速度和加速度传感器、声音传感器、温度传感器、信息素传感器、湿度传感器、压力传感器、气体成分传感器、电磁波传感器(例如但不限于可见光、红外、或紫外传感器)等传感器中的一种或多种组合。环境控制系统将采集到的信息进行综合判断,识别出用户身份。
为了说明方便,此处举例说明主要用到图像识别的实施方案。假设该用户为女主人A,在早上进入某个房间,例如视频传感器会采集女主人A的图像和声音等信息,并将这些信息传输到处理模块进行识别。其识别方法包含但不限于:面部特征、身体特征、声音特征、动作特征中的一种或多种组合。其中,面部特征包含但不限于年龄、瞳孔、表情、发型、以及五官相对位置等特征中的一种或多种。身体特征包含但不限于身高、体积、身体比例等特征中的一种或多种。声音特征包含但不限用户声音或行走声音的音高、音色、频率、流畅性、关键词汇等特征中的一种或多种组合。动作特征包含但不限于肢体动作(头部、臂部、腿部等)、速度或加速度等特征中的一种或多种。环境控制系统将搜集到的信息传输到处理模块,对这些进行综合分析,识别出女主人A的身份。综合分析时所采用的方法包含但不限于使用特定算法与已存数据库进行对比,验证用户身份。假设环境控制系统根据用户的年龄、瞳孔、身高、走路速度等信息综合判断出女主人A的身份,环境控制系统根据女主人身份后,进一步查询环境控制系统中关于女主人A的数据,再结合具体环境,具体环境是指时间、场所、天气等因素,输出聊天内容。根据刚才的假设,环境控制系统判断出女主 人A在早上进入厨房,那么环境控制系统可以输出的聊天内容包含但不限于:“早上好,亲爱的A!请问您是要做早餐了吗?”聊天界面上,可以在智能开关或其它设备的显示器上自定义所出现的聊天对象,对象类别可以系统自定义,也可以根据用户的喜好或习惯设定。这些对象可以人物、动物或植物等,例如但不限于影视明星、歌手、历史人物、卡通人物、各类拟人化动物或植物等,这些对象呈现的方式可以是二维的,也可以是三维的,其语言种类和声音特色可以是保留对象自有的风格,也可以由用户自己设定。女主人A在接收到环境控制系统的聊天信息后,会给出回应,该回应可以包括但不限于:“是的。我想先看看冰箱里还有什么。”环境控制系统收到该回应信息后,会再次分析判断。例如,环境控制系统根据“是的”,判断出女主人A将要做早餐,根据“冰箱”“看”等关键词,判断女主人A需要查看冰箱,环境控制系统将这些信息处理后,会产生将冰箱门打开的动作,并输出语音:“好的。还有其它需要帮忙的地方吗?”
需要注意的是,以上仅为理解之用,具体的使用场景并不局限于以上所举之例。该技术领域的普通技术人员,完全可以在了解该智能聊天的原理下,进行其它变形。例如,将该女主人A的情形,应用到其它家庭成员或宠物上,例如家中需要陪伴的老人或孩子,或者。老人B一个人在卧室,系统通过对信息的一系列采集和判断后,会与老人自动聊天。例如:“亲爱的B,您一个人在卧室静坐2小时了,要不要下楼去逛逛呢?”老人回复可以是:“不了,我想知道孙子C昨晚休息的好吗?”环境控制系统查询家庭成员C昨晚睡的情况可以作出回复“C昨晚9点睡觉,睡眠时长11小时,深度睡眠7小时,睡眠质量不错。”当然,此处也仅做举例之用,诸如此类不改变原理情况下的拓展或变形,均在本申请的保护范围之内。
