Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for environmental control systems are described. In one example, a method includes monitoring a voice communications call between a local call participant located in a building space and a remote call participant. The method includes detecting a change in a user state of the local call participant from the voice communications call. The method further includes adjusting an environmental parameter in the building space responsive to detecting the change in the user state of the local call participant.
Claims14
A system comprising:
- one or more microphones arranged to receive a local call participant speech occurring within a building space from a local call participant during a voice communications call and output a microphone output signal, the local call participant located in the building space;
- one or more communications interfaces configured to receive during the voice communications call a received audio signal comprising a remote call participant speech occurring outside the building space from a remote call participant located at a remote location outside the building space;
- one or more environmental control systems operable to adjust one or more environmental parameters in the building space;
- and
- one or more processors configured to monitor the local call participant speech occurring within the building space and the remote call participant speech occurring outside the building space during the voice communications call, detect a change in a user state of the local call participant from the voice communications call utilizing the local call participant speech occurring within the building space and the remote call participant speech occurring outside the building space, and adjust an environmental parameter in the building space utilizing the one or more environmental control systems responsive to detecting the change in the user state of the local call participant from the voice communications call utilizing the local call participant speech occurring within the building space and the remote call participant speech occurring outside the building space.

A method comprising:
- monitoring a voice communications call between a local call participant located in a building space and a remote call participant located outside the building space comprising monitoring a local call participant speech occurring within the building space and a remote call participant speech occurring outside the building space;
- detecting a change in an emotional, physical, or neurological state of the local call participant from the voice communications call utilizing the local call participant speech occurring within the building space and the remote call participant speech occurring outside the building space;
- and
- adjusting an environmental parameter in the building space responsive to detecting the change in the emotional, physical, or neurological state of the local call participant from the voice communications call utilizing the local call participant speech occurring within the building space and the remote call participant speech occurring outside the building space.
