Abstract
A curtain control system, installed in a curtain, comprises a sensing module, a processing module, and a motor control module. When a processing unit of the processing module determines that a rotation angle common to a plurality of panel holders falls within a specific range or that a change in the rotation angle reaches a specific value, and the rotation angle is not equal to a preset angle, the motor control module drives a travel motor and a tilt motor to operate simultaneously. In this manner, the waiting time for curtain adjustment during user operation can be reduced.

A curtain control system, installed in a curtain, the curtain comprising a plurality of panel carriers, wherein one of the panel carriers is defined as a master carrier configured to move between a first position and a second position, each of the panel carriers including a panel holder configured to rotate between 0 degrees and 180 degrees, the curtain further comprising a drive device, the drive device including a tilt motor and a travel motor, the tilt motor being configured to drive rotation of the plurality of panel holders between 0 degrees and 180 degrees, and the travel motor being configured to drive movement of the master carrier between the first position and the second position, the curtain control system comprising:
- a sensing module configured to detect position information of the master carrier and a rotation angle common to the plurality of panel holders;
- a processing module including a processing unit configured to receive an activation signal transmitted by an electronic device and to generate a control signal based on the rotation angle and/or the position information;
- and
- a motor control module configured to receive the control signal to control the tilt motor and the travel motor;
- wherein the processing unit is configured to determine whether (i) the rotation angle falls within a specific range or (ii) a change in the rotation angle reaches a specific value, and to determine whether the rotation angle is a preset angle;
- and wherein, when it is determined that (i) or (ii) is satisfied and the rotation angle is not equal to the preset angle, the motor control module drives the travel motor and the tilt motor to operate simultaneously based on the control signal generated by the processing unit.
A curtain, comprising:
- a plurality of panel carriers, wherein one of the panel carriers is defined as a master carrier configured to move between a first position and a second position, and each of the panel carriers includes a panel holder configured to rotate between 0 degrees and 180 degrees;
- a drive device including a tilt motor and a travel motor, the tilt motor being configured to drive rotation of the plurality of panel holders between 0 degrees and 180 degrees, and the travel motor being configured to drive movement of the master carrier between the first position and the second position;
- and
- a curtain control system comprising:
- a sensing module configured to detect position information of the master carrier and a rotation angle common to the plurality of panel holders;
- a processing module including a processing unit configured to receive an activation signal transmitted by an electronic device and to generate a control signal based on the rotation angle and/or the position information;
- and
- a motor control module configured to receive the control signal to control the tilt motor and the travel motor;
- wherein the processing unit is configured to determine whether (i) the rotation angle falls within a specific range or (ii) a change in the rotation angle reaches a specific value, and to determine whether the rotation angle is a preset angle;
- and wherein, when it is determined that (i) or (ii) is satisfied and the rotation angle is not equal to the preset angle, the motor control module drives the travel motor and the tilt motor to operate simultaneously based on the control signal generated by the processing unit.
A curtain control method, comprising:
- a data acquisition step, wherein a processing unit of a processing module acquires position information representing a position of a master carrier among a plurality of panel carriers, and a rotation angle common to a plurality of panel holders, wherein each of the panel carriers includes a panel holder, wherein the master carrier is configured to move between a first position and a second position, and each panel holder is configured to rotate between 0 degrees and 180 degrees;
- and
- a judgment and execution step, wherein the processing unit receives an activation signal generated by an electronic device and generates a control signal based on the rotation angle and/or the position information, wherein the processing unit is configured to determine whether (i) the rotation angle falls within a specific range or (ii) a change in the rotation angle reaches a specific value, and determines whether the rotation angle is a preset angle;
- and wherein, when it is determined that (i) or (ii) is satisfied and the rotation angle is not equal to the preset angle, a motor control module drives a travel motor and a tilt motor to operate simultaneously based on the control signal generated by the processing unit.
