US 2020/0005809 A1 · ADJUSTMENT CONTROL FOR ONE OR MORE DEVICES

Abstract

The present invention relates to the management of devices (AP1, AP2, AP3) connected to an equipment item (EQ) in an environment (ENV). The equipment item receives and interprets signals from the environment (S1, S2, S3) and, based on an interpretation of the signals, transmits adjustment instructions (C1, C2, C3) to the devices. In particular, there is provided a sound sensor (ANT) connected to the equipment item (EQ), and one or more mechanical members (OM1, OM2) which when actuated for the purpose of adjusting at least one of the devices, causes the emission of a characteristic sound (S1, S2). The equipment item, upon receiving these sound signals from the environment, compares each sound signal to acoustic signatures predefined in a correlation table (TAB) which lists adjustment instructions (C1, C2, . . . ) according to these acoustic signatures (S1, S2; S1, S3, S4; . . . ) and transmits an adjustment instruction for a device based on at least one acoustic signature of the table, recognized in the received sound signals.

Dependent claims

An installation for managing at least one device connected to an equipment item in an environment, wherein the equipment item receives and interprets signals from the environment and, based on an interpretation of the signals, transmits adjustment instructions to the devices,

wherein the installation further comprises at least one sound sensor connected to the equipment item, and at least one mechanical member which when actuated for the purpose of adjusting at least one of the devices, causes the emission of a characteristic sound, and
wherein the equipment item is arranged to:
receive sound signals from the environment,
verify whether a received sound signal contains an acoustic signature of the mechanical member, and
transmit at least one adjustment instruction for a device based on the acoustic signature identified in the received sound signal.

2 more elements

A method for managing one or more devices connected to an equipment item in an environment, wherein the equipment item receives and interprets signals from the environment and, on the basis of an interpretation of the signals, transmits adjustment instructions to the devices,

wherein the environment is a sound environment and comprises at least one mechanical member which when actuated for the purpose of adjusting at least one of the devices, causes the emission of a characteristic sound, and
wherein the equipment item is connected to at least one sound sensor in order to:
receive sound signals from the environment,
verify whether a received sound signal contains an acoustic signature of one of the mechanical members, and
