Abstract
The present application relates to an environment control system. The environment control system is capable of detecting variations of natural environment and artificial environment, and control the use of electronic devices automatically or semi-automatically. Based on collected information stored in a built-in storage module, the environment control system may calculate and learn the user's habit of use with respect to the electronic devices using network connection.
Claims20
A system comprising,
- a first panel comprising a first sensing module configured to collect a parameter and a first processing module configured to control a device according to the collected parameter, and
- a second panel comprising a physical controller operably connected to the device, the first panel and the second panel being operably and detachably connected to each other,
- wherein the first panel is configured to control the device through the second panel and
- the physical controller is configured to work independently of the first panel to directly control the device when the first panel is detached and disconnected from the second panel, and
- wherein the physical controller is covered by the first panel when the first panel is attached and connected to the second panel.
