具体实施方式
以下描述只提供优选的示范性实施例且不旨在限制本发明的范围、适用性或配置。相反地,优选的示范性实施例的以下描述将给所属领域技术人员提供用于实施本发明的优选的示范性实施例的可行描述。应了解,可在不脱离如随附权利要求书中陈述的本发明的精神及范围的情况下对元件的功能及布置作出各种改变。
以下描述中给出特定细节以提供对实施例的完全理解。然而,所属领域一般技术者应了解可在无此类特定细节的情况下实践所述实施例。例如,可在方框图中展示电路以避免不必要细节使实施例不清楚。在其它实例中,可展示无不必要细节的熟知电路、处理程序、算法、结构及技术以避免使实施例不清楚。
此外,应注意,实施例可被描述为处理程序,所述处理程序被描绘为流程图(flowchart、flowdiagram)、数据流程图、结构图或方框图。虽然流程图可将操作描述为循序处理程序,但是许多操作可并行或实同时执行。此外,可重新布置操作次序。所述处理程序在其完成时被终止,但是可具有未包含在图中的额外步骤。处理程序可对应于方法、函数、程序(procedure)、子例程、子程序等。当处理程序对应于函数时,其终止对应于函数返回到调用函数或主函数。
本发明涉及用于利用家庭自动化促进漏水的检测及缓解的***、方法、设备及处理器可读媒体。在根据本发明的某些实施例中,电视接收机可用作家庭自动化***的主机。通过使用电视接收机来托管家庭自动化***,可实现各种优点。例如,家庭自动化***能够经由经连接显示装置(例如电视)或其它经连接装置(例如平板计算机、移动电话、监视器或膝上型计算机)向用户便捷地呈现家庭自动化信息。此外,因为许多人耗费大量时间来看电视,所以电视可为在用户看电视时经由其向用户呈现家庭自动化信息的便捷装置。此外,电视接收机能够与电视服务提供商通信。
此电视服务提供商能够利用各种服务(例如,为了找到家中的水***及从水***供水的电器中的漏水的证据而监测家庭自动化***的能力)扩增家庭自动化***。漏水可发生在家中或周围的任何数目的位置中,例如水暖管、洒水***、洗手间、水槽、电器及连接到家中的供水器的其它水性特征。一或多个泄漏检测传感器的集合可用来检测漏水。一或多个泄漏检测传感器的集合可与家庭自动化***的电视接收机或覆盖装置通信且可用于确定何时发生漏水。
在某些实施例中,如果泄漏检测传感器确定可能发生泄漏,那么可经由无线装置及/或显示装置向用户提供通知。用户能够提供输入以允许水继续流动或立即中断水流。当缺少用户清空泄漏的通知时,可在预定义时段之后及/或当满足另一阈值(例如,水体阈值)时由水控制器关闭水流。
在各个实施例中,家庭自动化***可利用各种规则来确定是否发生泄漏。可已知通常由供水装置吸入的水量,如果流速及/或流动时间显著超过正常的操作参数,那么可确定发生泄漏。在一些实施例中,家庭自动化***可与电器通信以确定水是否流向装置。在一些实施例中,可利用来自各种运动传感器的数据。泄漏状况的确定可基于对电器是否使用水及/或个人是否在家中(及可能家中的特定位置)的理解。
现在将开始于图1参考附图更详细地讨论各个实施例。
图1说明根据本发明的某些实施例的***分配***100的实施例。虽然家庭自动化***可并有各种类型的电视接收机,但是各个实施例可为基于卫星的电视分配***的部分。电缆、基于IP、无线及广播聚焦式***也是可行的。***分配***100可包含:电视服务提供商***110、卫星发射机设备120、卫星130、蝶形卫星天线140、电视接收机150、***信用管理引擎112及显示装置160。***分配***100的替代实施例可包含更少或更多数目的组件。虽然只说明了一个蝶形卫星天线140、电视接收机150及显示装置160(统称为“用户设备”),但是应了解,多个(例如,数十、数千、数百万)实例及类型的用户设备可经由卫星130接收来自卫星服务提供商***110的数据及电视信号。
卫星服务提供商***110及卫星发射机设备120可由电视服务提供商操作。电视服务提供商可将电视频道、点播节目、节目信息及/或其它内容/服务分配到用户。电视服务提供商***110可接收来自各个来源的一或多个电视频道及内容的馈送。此类电视频道可包含含有至少一些相同内容的多个电视频道(例如,网络联盟)。为了将要呈现的电视频道分配到用户,可经由多个电视分配卫星将电视频道的馈送转发到用户设备。每一卫星可转发多个应答器流。卫星发射机设备120可用于将来自电视服务提供商***110的一或多个电视频道的馈送发射到一或多个卫星130。虽然单个卫星服务提供商***110及卫星发射机设备120被说明为***分配***100的部分,但是应了解,发射机设备的多个实例可使用(在地理位置上是分散的)使用来与卫星130通信。卫星发射设备的此类多个实例可与相同或不同的卫星通信。不同的电视频道可从发射设备的不同实例发射到卫星130。例如,卫星发射机设备120的不同蝶形卫星天线可用于与不同轨道槽中的卫星通信。
卫星130可经配置以接收来自一或多个卫星链路(例如,卫星发射机设备120)的信号(例如,电视频道流)。卫星130可经由应答器流将来自卫星发射机设备120(及/或其它卫星发射机设备)的所接收信号转发到用户设备的多个实例。不同于下行链路信号180的频率可用于上行链路信号170。卫星130可在对地同步轨道中,由卫星130发射的应答器流中的每一者可含有被发射作为分组化数据的多个电视频道。例如,单个应答器流可为含有多个电视频道的串行数字分组流。因此,多个电视频道的分组可散布。此外,由电视接收机150针对家庭自动化功能使用的信息也可经由一或多个应答器流转发到电视接收机。
多个卫星130可用于将来自电视服务提供商***110的电视频道转发到蝶形卫星天线140。不同的电视频道可使用不同的卫星来携带。不同的电视频道还可使用相同卫星的不同应答器来携带;因此,此类电视频道可以不同频率及/或不同频率范围发射。作为实例,第一及第二电视频道可经由卫星130-1的第一应答器来转发。第三、第四及第五电视频道可经由不同的卫星或以不同频率转发应答器流的相同卫星的不同应答器来转发。由特定卫星的特定应答器发射的应答器流可包含有限数目的电视频道,例如七个电视频道。因此,如果许多电视频道可观看及记录,那么多个应答器流可必须将所有电视频道发射到用户设备的实例。
蝶形卫星天线140可为用于接收来自一或多个卫星(例如,卫星130)的应答器流的一件用户设备。蝶形卫星天线140可被提供给订户以进行订购使用来接收由电视服务提供商***110、卫星发射机设备120及/或卫星130提供的电视频道。可包含一或多个低噪声块(LNB)的蝶形卫星天线140可经配置以接收来自多个卫星及/或相同卫星的多个应答器的应答器流。蝶形卫星天线140可经配置以经由多个频率上的应答器流接收电视频道。基于电视接收机150及/或蝶形卫星天线140的特性,其可只同时捕捉来自有限数目的应答器的应答器流。例如,电视接收机150的调谐器可只能够调谐为在给定时间来自单个卫星的应答器的单个应答器流。调谐器可接着再次调谐为相同或不同卫星的另一应答器。具有多个调谐器的电视接收机150可允许同时接收多个应答器流。
蝶形卫星天线140可与一或多个电视接收机通信。电视接收机可经配置以解码经由蝶形卫星天线140接收自卫星130的信号以供输出并经由显示装置(例如,显示装置160)呈现。电视接收机可被并入作为电视的部分或可为分离装置的部分,通常称为机顶盒(STB)。电视接收机150可解码经由蝶形卫星天线140接收的信号并将输出提供到显示装置160。点播内容(例如PPV内容)可被存储到计算机可读存储媒体。图2提供电视接收机的各个实施例的额外细节。电视接收机被定义为包括机顶盒(STB)且还包含具有可并有另一装置的类似功能性的电路。例如,类似于电视接收机的电路可被并入作为电视的部分。因而,虽然图1将电视接收机150的实施例说明为与显示装置160分离,但是应了解,在其它实施例中,可由与显示装置160集成的电视接收机执行类似功能。电视接收机150可包含如关于图3详述的家庭自动化引擎311。
显示装置160可用于呈现由电视接收机150解码及输出的视频及/或音频。电视接收机150还可向显示装置160输出一或多个界面的显示(例如电子节目指南(EPG))。在许多实施例中,显示装置160是电视。显示装置160还可为监视器、计算机或经配置以显示视频及可能播放音频的某种其它装置。
上行链路信号170-1表示卫星发射机设备120与卫星130-1之间的信号。上行链路信号170-2表示卫星发射机设备120与卫星130-2之间的信号。上行链路信号170中的每一者可含有一或多个不同的电视频道的流。例如,上行链路信号170-1可含有第一组电视频道,而上行链路信号170-2含有第二组电视频道。此类电视频道中的每一者可经扰码使得防止未授权人接入电视频道。
下行链路信号180-1表示卫星130-1与蝶形卫星天线140之间的信号。下行链路信号180-2表示卫星130-2与蝶形卫星天线140之间的信号。下行链路信号180中的每一者可含有可至少部分经扰码的一或多个不同的电视频道。下行链路信号可呈应答器流的形式。电视接收机的调谐器在给定时间可调谐为单个应答器流。例如,下行链路信号180-1可为含有第一组电视频道的第一应答器流,而下行链路信号180-2可为含有第二组电视频道的第二应答器流。除或代替含有电视频道,应答器流可用于将点播内容(包含PPV内容(其可由电视接收机存储在本地直到输出呈现为止))发射到电视接收机。
图1说明由蝶形卫星天线140接收且分配到电视接收机150的下行链路信号180-1及下行链路信号180-2。对于第一组电视频道,蝶形卫星天线140可接收下行链路信号180-1且对于第二组频道,可接收下行链路信号180-2。电视接收机150可解码所接收的应答器流。因而,取决于预期呈现或存储哪些电视频道,可由电视接收机150接收、解扰及解码来自各个卫星的各种应答器流。
例如对于由家庭自动化服务的服务器112提供的家庭自动化相关服务,可包含因特网的网络190可允许电视接收机150与电视服务提供商***110之间的双向通信。除或代替网络190,可使用电话(例如,固网电信)或蜂窝连接以实现电视接收机150与电视服务提供商***110之间的通信。
图2说明根据本发明的某些实施例的由电视接收机托管的家庭自动化***200的实施例。电视接收机150可表示图1的电视接收机。虽然电视接收机150可经配置以接收来自基于卫星的电视服务提供商的电视节目,但是应了解在其它实施例中,可使用其它形式的电视服务提供商网络,例如基于IP的网络(例如,光纤网络)、基于电缆的网络、基于无线广播的网络等。
电视接收机150可经配置以与家中的家庭自动化装置通信。与电视接收机150通信的装置可使用不同的通信标准。例如,一或多个装置可使用通信协议,而一或多个其它装置使用通信协议与电视接收机通信。装置及电视接收机可使用其它形式的无线通信。例如,电视接收机150及一或多个装置可经配置以使用无线局域网进行通信,所述无线局域网可使用例如802.11的通信协议。
在一些实施例中,分离装置可与电视接收机150连接以实现与家庭自动化装置的通信。例如,通信装置252可附接到电视接收机150。通信装置252可呈电子狗的形式。通信装置252可经配置以允许及/或其它形式的无线通信。通信装置可经由USB端口或经由某种其它类型的(有线)通信端口与电视接收机150通信。通信装置252可由电视接收机供电或可单独与电源耦合。在一些实施例中,电视接收机150可经启用以与本地无线网络通信且可使用通信装置以与使用通信协议、通信协议及/或某种其它的家庭无线通信协议的装置通信。
通信装置252还可用于允许额外组件与电视接收机150连接。例如,通信装置252可包含额外的音频/视频输入(例如,HDMI)、组件及/或复合输入以允许额外装置(例如,蓝光播放器)与电视接收机150连接。此连接可允许利用家庭自动化信息覆盖来自此类额外装置的视频。家庭自动化信息是否被覆盖到视频上可以基于用户按下遥控器按钮而触发。
无关于电视接收机150是否使用通信装置252来与家庭自动化装置通信,电视接收机150均可经配置以输出家庭自动化信息以经由显示装置160呈现于用户。此信息可与由电视接收机150例如经由图1的***100接收的电视节目同时呈现。电视接收机150还可基于用户偏好在给定时间只输出电视节目或只输出家庭自动化信息。用户能够向电视接收机150提供输入以控制由电视接收机150或由如下文详述的覆盖装置251托管的家庭自动化***。
在一些实施例中,电视接收机150可以不用作对家庭自动化***的主机。相反地,分离装置可与电视接收机150耦合,电视接收机150允许经由显示装置160向用户呈现家庭自动化信息。此分离装置可与电视接收机150耦合。在一些实施例中,分离装置被称为覆盖装置251。覆盖装置251可经配置以将信息(例如,家庭自动化信息)覆盖到在视觉上经由显示装置160(例如,电视)呈现的信号上。在一些实施例中,覆盖装置251可耦合在电视接收机150(可呈机顶盒的形式)与显示装置160(可为电视)之间。在此类实施例中,电视接收机150可接收、解码、解扰、解密、存储及/或输出电视节目。电视接收机150可输出呈(例如)HDMI信号的形式的信号。电视接收机150的输出可输入到覆盖装置251,而非直接输入到显示装置160。覆盖装置251可接收来自电视接收机150的视频及/或音频输出。覆盖装置251可将额外信息添加到接收自电视接收机150的视频及/或音频信号。经修改视频及/或音频信号可输出到显示装置160以供呈现。在一些实施例中,覆盖装置251具有HDMI输入及HDMI输出,其中HDMI输出连接到显示装置160。为了清楚起见,虽然图2说明了说明电视接收机150与各种装置之间的通信的线,但是应了解,此外或替代地可存在经由通信装置252及/或利用覆盖装置251的此通信。
在一些实施例中,电视接收机150可用于提供家庭自动化功能性,但是覆盖装置251可用于经由显示装置160呈现信息。应了解,本文关于电视接收机详述的家庭自动化功能性可替代地经由覆盖装置251提供。在一些实施例中,覆盖装置251可提供家庭自动化功能性且用于经由显示装置160呈现信息。使用覆盖装置251以经由显示装置160呈现自动化信息可具有额外优势。例如,多个装置可向覆盖装置251提供输入视频。例如,电视接收机150可向覆盖装置251提供电视节目,DVD/蓝光播放器可提供视频覆盖装置251,且分离的因特网TV装置可将其它节目串流到覆盖装置251。无关于视频/音频的来源,覆盖装置251可输出已修改为包含家庭自动化信息(例如,如图4中说明)的视频及/或音频且将其输出到显示装置160。因而,在此类实施例中,无关于视频/音频的来源,覆盖装置251可将音频/视频修改为包含家庭自动化信息,且可包含对用户输入的请求。例如,在一些实施例中,覆盖装置251可具有四个视频输入(例如,四个HDMI输入)和单个视频输出(例如,HDMI输出)。在其它实施例中,此覆盖功能性可为电视接收机150的部分。因而,分离装置(例如,蓝光播放器)可与电视接收机150的视频输入连接,因此允许电视接收机150在来自蓝光播放器的内容被输出到显示装置160时覆盖家庭自动化信息。
无关于电视接收机150自身是经配置以提供家庭自动化功能性且输出家庭自动化输入以经由显示装置160显示还是经由覆盖装置251提供此家庭自动化功能性,均可由显示装置160呈现家庭自动化信息,同时还由显示装置160呈现电视节目。例如,家庭自动化信息可被覆盖或可取代经由显示装置160呈现的电视节目的一部分(例如,广播内容、所存储内容、点播内容等)。作为实例,图4说明由经配置以托管家庭自动化***的电视接收机输出到显示装置的截图400的实施例。在图4中,虽然电视节目被呈现为402(例如,潜水电视节目),但是显示器被关于家庭自动化404的信息扩增。此电视节目402可表示广播节目、记录内容、点播内容或某种其它形式的内容。经示范性说明的家庭自动化信息404与住所的二楼浴室中检测的漏水有关。电视节目的此扩增可直接由电视接收机150(可或可不与通信装置252通信)或与电视接收机150及显示装置160连接的覆盖装置251执行。此扩增可导致立体或部分透明图形覆盖到由电视接收机150输出的电视节目(或其它形式的视频)上。覆盖装置或电视接收机150可经配置以此外或替代地添加声音到节目或修改电视节目的声音。例如,响应于漏水检测,可通过显示装置(或经连接音频***)播放声音。此外或替代地,可显示图形。
此经呈现家庭自动化信息404可请求用户输入。例如,在图4中,用户经由电视接收机150的控制(例如,遥控器)或覆盖装置251的控制可指定是否应关闭或不关闭二楼浴室的供水器或是否应忽略与此检测有关的未来通知。如果忽略,那么此可持续预定义时段,例如一小时或直到电视接收机150或覆盖装置251断电及再次通电为止。如果例如由家中的另一个人(例如,父母)解决问题而非个人(例如,儿童)继续观看内容,那么忽略视频可尤为有用。
电视接收机150或覆盖装置251可经配置以与一或多个无线装置(例如无线装置216)通信。无线装置216可表示平板计算机、蜂窝电话、膝上型计算机、远程计算机或用户可通过其预期控制家庭自动化设置并观看家庭自动化信息的某个其它装置。此装置也不一定是无线的,例如台式计算机。电视接收机150、通信装置252或覆盖装置251可直接与无线装置216通信,或可使用本地无线网络,例如网络270。无线装置216可位于远处且不与相同的本地无线网络连接。经由因特网,电视接收机150或覆盖装置251可经配置以将关于家庭自动化信息的通知发射到无线装置216。例如,在一些实施例中,第三方通知服务器***(例如,由操作的通知服务器***)可用于将此类通知发送到无线装置216。
在一些实施例中,可监测无线装置216的位置。例如,如果无线装置216是蜂窝电话,那么当其位置指示其在家中的水性特征(例如,浴室中、洗衣房中等)附近时,本文进一步揭示的漏水确定可考虑此位置信息。在一些实施例中,用户能够基于无线装置216的位置界定家中的水性景观。例如,用户可利用无线装置216界定浴室、洗衣房及家中的其它供水位置。家庭自动化***的学习模式可允许用户在家中四处走动并选择用户可选选项来指定某些位置(例如,浴室、洗衣房及其它供水位置)。在进行此类位置界定之后,所述***可将所述信息与一或多个漏水检测传感器(其与电视接收机150通信)关联。因此,如本文进一步揭示,当检测到对特定二楼浴室的供水中的可能漏水时,例如所述***可考虑基于无线装置216及/或例如运动传感器、光传感器等的一或多个传感器的集合的位置检测居住者是否二楼浴室中。
在一些实施例中,允许电视接收机150将数据串流到因特网可能需要较少或不需要网络270的组建。例如,电视接收机150及网络270可经由服务(例如,或其它视频串流服务)配置以允许视频从电视接收机150串流到可经由因特网接入的装置。此类串流能力可经“附加”以允许家庭自动化数据被串流到可经由因特网接入的装置。例如,2009年12月23日申请的标题是“用于经由网络远程地***体服务器的***及方法(SystemsandMethodsforRemotelyControllingaMediaServerviaaNetwork)”的第12/645,870号美国专利申请案(特此以引用并入)描述了用于允许远程接入及控制本地装置的此一***。2009年4月17日申请的标题是“用于建立通过网络通信的装置之间的连接的***及方法(SystemsandMethodsforEstablishingConnectionsBetweenDevicesCommunicatingOveraNetwork)”的第8,171,148号美国专利申请案(特此以引用并入)描述了一种用于通过网络建立装置之间的连接的***。2011年5月19日申请的标题是“用于通过网络传递消息的***及方法(SystemsandMethodsforDeliveringMessagesOveraNetwork)”的第12/619,192号美国专利申请案(特此以引用并入)描述了一种向位于防火墙背后的客户端提供消息的消息服务器。
作为无线装置216可如何结合电视接收机150或覆盖装置251使用以控制家庭自动化***的实例,图5说明与用作家庭自动化***的主机的电视接收机150通信的无线装置的截图500的实施例。在一些实施例中,近似在图4的家庭自动化信息经由显示装置160(假设其已开启)呈现的同时,类似信息504可经由(例如)第三方通知服务器发送到无线装置216或经由本地无线网络直接从电视接收机150或覆盖装置251发送。利用通知504,可提供一或多个用户可选选项以允许无线装置216的用户指定是否应关闭或不关闭供水器或是否应忽略与此检测有关的未来通知。
在一些实施例中,经由无线装置216而非显示装置160可只提供通知504。在一些实施例中,只有当显示装置160不在显示模式中时才可经由无线装置216提供通知504。在一些实施例中,如果在阈值时间量之后没有接收到响应于发送到显示装置160的通知的响应(例如,以解决其中房间中目前没有观看者或其中观看者已入睡的实例),那么可经由无线装置216提供通知504。因此,各个实施例可提供通知上报方案。
无线装置216可用作电视接收机150的输入装置。例如,无线装置216可为平板计算机,其允许由用户键入文本并允许文本被提供到电视接收机150。此布置可有利于文本消息发送、群聊对话或任何其它形式的基于文本的通信。可接收来自平板计算机或如随附截图中所示的其它装置的其它类型的输入用于电视接收机,所述输入例如照明命令、安全报警设置及门锁命令。虽然无线装置216可用作键入文本的输入装置,但是电视接收机150可向显示装置160输出显示文本。
无线装置216可经配置以存储旨在反映由托管家庭自动化***的电视接收机150存储的软件模型的家庭自动化***的软件模型。例如,此软件模型可允许无线装置216观看各种家庭自动化装置、与各种家庭自动化装置通信及/或交互。此软件模型可指示各种家庭自动化装置的状态。当无线装置216不与电视接收机150通信时,无线装置216无法已知在电视接收机150处对家庭自动化模型作出的改变。同步点数值可由电视接收机150指派到对家庭自动化模型的每一次改变,而非由电视接收机150维持历史列表。同步点数值可针对所作出的每一次改变递增。当无线装置216与电视接收机150重连时,可比较电视接收机150的当前同步点数值与由无线装置216存储的上一次已知的改变的同步点数值。如果由电视接收机150存储的同步点数值大于由无线装置216存储的同步点数值,那么关于家庭自动化***的更新需要被发送到无线装置216。基于无线装置216及电视接收机150的同步点数值的差,可确定哪些改变需要被发送到无线装置216以使无线装置216的软件模型匹配电视接收机150的软件模型。
在一些实施例中,蜂窝调制解调器253可与覆盖装置251或电视接收机150连接。如果本地无线网络不可用,那么蜂窝调制解调器253可能是有用的。例如,蜂窝调制解调器253可允许接入因特网及/或与电视服务提供商通信。与电视服务提供商(例如图1的电视服务提供商***110)的通信也可经由与因特网连接的本地无线或有线网络而发生。在一些实施例中,用于家庭自动化目的的信息可由电视服务提供商***110经由电视服务提供商的分配网络(可包含卫星130的使用)发射到电视接收机150或覆盖装置251。
各种家庭自动化装置可与电视接收机150或覆盖装置251通信。此类家庭自动化装置可使用不同的通信协议。此类家庭自动化装置可直接或经由通信装置252与电视接收机150通信。此类家庭自动化装置可由用户控制及/或具有由用户经由显示装置160及/或无线装置216观看的状态。此类家庭自动化装置可包含以下任何一项或组合:相机212;窗户传感器210;门传感器208;门铃传感器223;车库门控制器228;锁控制器230;烟雾及/或CO2检测器209;宠物门及/或加料器211;窗帘控制器204;灯控制器220;恒温器222;VoIP(IP电话)控制器225;健康传感器214;天气传感器206,其可允许电视接收机150或覆盖装置251接收、识别及/或输出各种形式的环境数据,包含温度、湿度、风速、大气压等;及/或对讲机218。
在一些实施例中,电视接收机150可接收例如房子里的冰箱及洗碗机的电器的状态并通知用户。电视接收机150可链接到电器且通过用户当时正使用的任何装置(例如,平板计算机、移动电话或瘦客户端)向用户呈现通知消息。2010年2月4日申请的标题是“经由家庭娱乐***的电器状态通知(ElectronicApplianceStatusNotificationviaaHomeEntertainmentSystem)”的第12/700,310号美国专利申请案(特此以引用并入)进一步详细地描述了此类技术。
公用事业设备监测器202可用于给电视接收机150或覆盖装置251提供设备信息,例如电力使用量、气体使用量、水使用量、废水使用量、灌溉使用量等。当发生预定义事件(例如,电力使用量超过一个月内的定义阈值或当前千瓦特使用量超过阈值)时,用户可观看状态页面或可接收通知。
来自某些装置的数据可触发并行通知。例如,错误时间期间的邮箱打开、车库门打开、入口/出口门打开、休假时段期间的具体灯的未授权控制、水传感器检测到泄漏或流动、门或设备的温度在定义范围之外,及/或前门处检测的运动是可触发并行通知的可能事件的实例。配置用户能够从用户列表中选择用户来通知且选择通知方法以实现此类并行通知。配置用户可将所通知的***及人排定优先级,且指定通知可继续进行所述列表,除非以电子形式或通过人类交互确认。例如,用户可指定其希望在其休假期间被通知其家中的任何灯开关操作。通知优先级可为1)SMS消息,2)推送通知,3)电子语音记录器呼叫主号,及4)电子语音记录器呼叫配偶的号码。如果用户以应答回复SMS消息,那么第二通知可从未发生。或者,如果无法接触SMS网关,那么第二通知可自动发生。
泄漏检测传感器224可与电视接收机150或覆盖装置251通信且可用于确定何时发生泄漏,例如在给水性特征供水的管中。泄漏检测传感器224可经配置以附接到管外部且监听水在管内流动的声音。在其它实施例中,可使用具有适当传感器的声纳、温度传感器或离子注水器以检测移动的水。因而,使用泄漏检测传感器224可能不需要切割或以其它方式修改管件。在各个实施例中,泄漏检测传感器224可包含任何合适的流量计。
如果检测到水移动持续大于预定时段,那么可确定发生泄漏。泄漏检测传感器224可具有耦合在现有阀上方使得可停止一或多个管内的水流的组件。例如,如果泄漏检测传感器224确定可能发生泄漏,那么可经由无线装置216及/或显示装置160由电视接收机150或覆盖装置251向用户提供通知。如果用户未清空通知,那么泄漏检测传感器224在预定义时段之后可关闭水流。用户还能够提供输入以允许水继续流动或立即中断水流。
家庭自动化***可利用各种规则来确定是否发生泄漏。例如,可在水流向制冰机的事件中利用测量阈值。可已知通常由此装置吸入的水量,如果流速及/或流动时间显著超过正常的操作参数,那么可确定发生泄漏。在一些实施例中,家庭自动化***可与电器通信以确定水是否流向装置。例如,家庭自动化***可与操作中的洗衣机通信以确定水正流向电器,且因此确定没有发生漏水。电器可将指示电器的状态的数据(例如电器是否在操作中或是否用水的指示)发射到电视接收机150或覆盖装置251。
如果没有电器正在用水(且可已知没有用户在家),那么可确定发生漏水。在其它实施例中,可利用来自各种运动传感器的数据。例如,如果***识别用户已离开家但是正产生大量水流,那么***可确定发生漏水且通知用户或因此采取补救步骤。
电器控制器226可允许检索电器的状态且允许控制操作的命令由电视接收机150或覆盖装置251发送到电器。例如,电器控制器226可控制洗衣机、烘干机、洗碗机、烤炉、微波炉、冰箱、烤箱、咖啡机、热水池或任何其它形式的电器。电器控制器226可与电器连接或可被集成作为电器的部分。
还可针对电力使用量监测电器及其它电子装置。例如,Crabtree在2012年11月19日申请的标题是“用于在电视接收机上显示电气装置使用量信息的设备(ApparatusforDisplayingElectricalDeviceUsageInformationonaTelevisionReceiver)”的第2013/0318559号美国专利公开案(特此以引用并入)可允许确定关于一或多个装置(例如,家中受监测的其它家庭自动化装置或电路)的电力使用量的信息。一或多个家庭自动化装置的控制可取决于电力使用量及所存储的电力速率。例如,洗衣机可在速率较低的晚上启动。此外或替代地,装置的操作可经交错以帮助防止在给定时间消耗太多功率。例如,可启动电加热器直到经由相同电路供电的烘干机断电为止。
家庭安全***207可与家庭自动化***集成。当用户配备/解除配备家庭安全***207时、当窗户/门打开或被破坏时等,家庭安全***207可检测运动。
灌溉控制器232可允许由用户经由电视接收机150及/或覆盖装置251控制灌溉***(例如,洒水车***)的状态及控制。灌溉控制器232可结合天气传感器206使用以确定灌溉控制器232是否应启动以供水及/或应供水多长时间。此外,用户经由电视接收机150及/或覆盖装置可开启、关断灌溉控制器232或调整灌溉控制器232的设置。
一或多个运动传感器可被并入到先前详述的家庭自动化装置中的一或多者中或并入作为独立装置。此类运动传感器可用于确定结构是否被占用。此信息可结合一或多个无线装置的经确定位置使用。如果一些或所有用户没有存在于结构中,那么可例如通过降低恒温器222的温度、经由灯控制器220关灯且确定一或多个门是否被门传感器208关闭来进行调整。在一些实施例中,当确定没有用户或其它人存在于结构内时可运行用户定义脚本。
图2中没有说明的额外形式的传感器还可被并入作为家庭自动化***的部分。来自电视接收机150及/或无线装置216的控制一或多个淋浴设备、浴缸及/或水龙头的能力也是可行的。
为了清楚起见,本文详述的归属于电视接收机150的家庭自动化功能可替代地或此外被并入到覆盖装置251中。因而,分离的覆盖装置251可与显示装置160连接以提供家庭自动化功能性。

图11说明根据本发明的某些实施例的用于实现流水检测及处置的自动化控制的实例方法1100。本发明的教导可以可对应于本文揭示的配置的各种配置来实施。因而,可省略本文揭示的方法的某些方法,且步骤的次序可以任何合适的方式扰乱且可取决于所选取的实施方案。此外,虽然本文揭示的方法的方面可为了便于描述而分离,但是应了解,可同时或基本上同时执行某些步骤。在一些实施例中,泄漏处置***控制器770可执行方法1100的步骤的任何一项或组合。根据某些实施例,方法1100可如方框1102指示般开始。
如由方框1102指示,可接收来自安置在家中的一或多个供水管道周围的一或多个传感器的第一集合的传感器读数。一或多个传感器的第一集合可经配置以例如如本文揭示板借助于声纳、温度检测等检测指示水流的第一类型的一或多个度量。
如由方框1104指示,可记录一或多个特定时段内的传感器读数。在各个实施例中可使用任何合适的时段。在一些实施例中,时段可取决于所检测的水流量。例如,较长时段可由控制器选择用于不超过低阈值的较小流量。相反地,较短时段可由控制器选择用于超过低阈值且可能超过中等及/或高阈值的较大流量。
如由方框1106指示,可接收来自安置在家中的一或多个传感器的第二集合的传感器读数。在一些实施例中,传感器的第二集合可经配置以检测家中的一或多个居住者的存在及/或一或多个位置。如本文揭示,传感器输入可包含家中的一或多个居住者的一或多个位置的标记。例如,在各个实施例中,输入可搜集自位置检测传感器,例如运动传感器、相机、光传感器、智能电话、第三方数据源等。各个实施例可允许不同程度的位置识别。在一些实施例中,居住者的位置的确定可降低到大体上检测家中的居住者。其它实施例可更具体地检测居住者位置。例如,某些实施例可确定居住者在家中的特定楼层中、在家中的房间中、在家中的部分中等。此外或替代地,在一些实施例中,传感器的第二集合可经配置以确定在第一时段内水是否正在流向相对于一或多个供水管道在一或多个传感器的第一集合下游的装置。
如由方框1108指示,可识别第一时段内的一或多个传感器读数的第一集合与一或多个传感器读数的第二集合之间的一或多个关联。可确定某些经检测水流之间的对应、某些供水装置的操作及/或家中的居住者的存在/某些位置。取决于各个实施例中的数个传感器的配置,各个实施例可允许不同程度的定位某些经检测水流。
如由方框1110指示,可至少部分基于关联产生一或多个活动分布。活动分布可识别指示关于以下一项或组合的活动境况的任何合适信息:某些供水装置的操作;家中的居住者的存在/位置;时刻;季度;等。如由方框1112指示,可至少部分基于活动分布中的一或多者产生一或多个水使用量分布。水使用量分布可反映对应于利用活动分布识别的各种境况的水流趋势。因此,水使用量分布可识别指示关于以下一项或组合的水使用量的任何合适的信息:某些供水装置的操作;家中的居住者的存在/位置;时刻;季度;等。因此,水使用量分布可指示境况所特有的基线。
如由方框1114指示,可至少部分基于水使用量分布中的一或多者识别一或多个阈值。在各个实施例中可采用任何合适的阈值(例如,基于水使用量分布的时段内的最大流量,其包含高于一或多个经检测最大值的裕度)。阈值可保持与特定活动分布相关联以表示境况所特有的阈值。
如由方框1116指示,可监测家中的水使用量及活动。例如,监测可利用一或多个传感器的第一集合、一或多个传感器的第二集合及/或其它传感器来执行。如由方框1118指示,可至少部分基于监测确定流水状况。例如,在一些实施例中,确定漏水状况可涉及以下项。可匹配受监测活动与特定活动分布。可识别与特定活动分布相关联的一或多个阈值。可比较指示水使用量的受监测传感器读数与至少一个阈值。继确定满足至少一个阈值之后,可确定存在漏水状况。
如由方框1120指示,在各个实施例中,可经由一或多个通知接口发射用户通知以指示漏水状况。在一些实施例中,可利用如本文揭示的通知呈现一或多个用户可选选项。在一些实施例中,可给用户呈现用于提供关于通知的反馈的选项。例如,可经由通知接口提供一或多个用户可选选项以拒绝调整、对调整评级、改变调整或以其它方式指示偏好及/或定义操作模式。此反馈可用于调整阈值(例如,将阈值增加特定量以免在未来触发多余的通知)。
如由方框1122指示,在一些实施例中,可确定解决漏水状况的调整。在一些实施例中,此确定可基于定位使得可选择可解决漏水状况的最下游供水控制器。如由方框1124指示,选定供水控制器可关闭对经历漏水的供水***的部分的供水。在一些实施例中,是否关闭供水器是依响应于用户可选选项接收的用户方向而定。在一些实施例中,如果在阈值时段内未接收对用户通知的响应,那么供水器可自动关闭,且在一些实施例中,此自动关闭是依对应于漏水的满足阈值(例如,体积及/或流量阈值)的水流而定。
如图12中说明的计算机***可被并入作为先前描述的计算机化装置的部分,例如无线装置、电视接收机、覆盖装置、通信装置、家庭自动化装置中的任一者、电视服务器提供商***等。图12提供可执行由各个实施例提供的方法的各个步骤的计算机***1200的一个实施例的示意说明。应注意,图12只旨在提供各个组件的广义说明,所述组件中的任一者或全部可酌情利用。图12因此广泛地说明个别***元件可如何以相对分离或相对更集成方式实施。

此类指令及/或代码的集合可能存储在非暂时性计算机可读存储媒体(例如,上述非暂时性存储装置1225)上。在一些情况中,存储媒体可能被并入在计算机***(例如计算机***1200)内。在其它实施例中,存储媒体(例如,可抽换式媒体(例如光盘))可能与计算机***分离及/或提供在安装封装中,使得存储媒体可用于利用存储在其上的指令/代码来编程、配置及/或调试通用计算机。此类指令可能呈可执行代码(可由计算机***1200执行)的形式及/或可能呈源代码及/或可安装代码(当(例如,使用各种通常可用的编译器、安装程序、压缩/解压工具等中的任一者)在计算机***1200上编译及/或安装时接着呈可执行代码的形式)的形式。
所属领域技术人员将明白,可根据特定需求做出大幅变动。例如,还可能使用定制硬件及/或可能在硬件、软件(包含便携式软件,例如小应用程序等)或在这两者中实施特定元件。此外,可采用到其它计算装置的连接(例如网络输入/输出装置)。
如上文提及,一方面,一些实施例可采用计算机***(例如计算机***1200)以执行根据本发明的各个实施例的方法。根据实施例的集合,计算机***1200响应于处理器1210执行工作存储器1235中所含的一或多个指令(可能被并入到操作***1240及/或其它代码(例如应用程序1245)中)的一或多个序列而执行此类方法的一些或所有程序。此类指令可从另一计算机可读媒体(例如,非暂时性存储装置1225中的一或多者)读取到工作存储器1235中。仅仅借助于实例,工作存储器1235中所含的指令的序列的执行可能使处理器1210执行本文描述的方法的一或多个程序。
如本文所使用的术语“机器可读媒体”、“计算机可读存储媒体”及“计算机可读媒体”是指参与提供使机器以特定方式操作的数据的任何媒体。此类媒体可为非暂时性的。在使用计算机***1200实施的实施例中,向处理器1210提供指令/代码以供执行中可能涉及各种计算机可读媒体及/或各种计算机可读媒体可能用于存储及/或携带此类指令/代码。在许多实施方案中,计算机可读媒体是物理及/或有形存储媒体。此媒体可呈非易失性媒体或易失性媒体的形式。非易失性媒体包含(例如)光盘及/或磁盘,例如非暂时性存储装置1225。易失性媒体包含(但不限于)动态存储器,例如工作存储器1235。
物体及/或有形计算机可读媒体的常见形式包含(例如)软盘、软磁盘、硬盘、磁带或任何其它磁性媒体、CD-ROM、任何其它光学媒体、具有标记图案的任何其它物理媒体、RAM、PROM、EPROM、快快闪储器、任何其它存储器芯片或盒,或计算机可从其中读取指令及/或代码的任何其它媒体。
携带一或多个指令的一或多个序列到处理器1210以供执行中可涉及各种形式的计算机可读媒体。仅仅借助于实例,指令最初可被携带在远程计算机的磁盘及/或光盘上。远程计算机可能将指令加载到其动态存储器中并通过发射媒体将指令发射为由计算机***1200接收及/或执行的信号。
通信子***1230(及/或其组件)通常将接收信号,且总线1205接着可能将信号(及/或由信号携带的数据、指令等)携带到工作存储器1235,处理器1210从工作存储器1235中检索并执行指令。由工作存储器1235接收的指令在由处理器1210执行之前或之后可任选地存储在非暂时性存储装置1225上。
应进一步了解,计算机***1200的组件可跨网络分布。例如,某些处理可使用第一处理器在一个位置中执行,而其它处理可由远距第一处理器的另一处理器执行。计算机***1200的其它组件可类似地分布。因而,计算机***1200可被解译为执行多个位置中的处理的分布式计算***。在一些实例中,取决于上下文,计算***1200可被解译为单个处理装置,例如不同的膝上型计算机、台式计算机等。
上文讨论的方法、***及装置是实例。各种配置可酌情省略、替换或添加各种程序或组件。例如,在替代配置中,方法可以不同于所描述的次序执行,及/或可添加、省略及/或组合各个阶段。此外,关于某些配置描述的特征可以各种其它配置组合。配置的不同方面及元件可以类似方式组合。此外,技术不断演进且因此许多元件是实例且不限制本发明或权利要求书的范围。
特定细节在描述中给出以提供对实例配置(包含实施方案)的完整理解。然而,配置可在无此类特定细节的情况下实践。例如,展示无不必要细节的熟知电路、处理程序、算法、结构及技术以避免使配置不清楚。此描述只提供实例配置,且不限制权利要求书的范围、适用性或配置。相反地,配置的先前描述将给所属领域技术人员提供用于实施所描述技术的可行描述。在不脱离本发明的精神或范围的情况下可对元件的功能及布置作出各种改变。
此外,配置可被描绘为流程图或方框图。虽然其各自可将操作描述为循序处理程序,但是许多操作可并行或实同时执行。此外,可重新布置操作次序。处理程序可具有未包含在图中的额外步骤。此外,方法的实例可由硬件、软件、固件、中间件、微代码、硬件描述语言或其任何组合来实施。当在软件、固件、中间件或微代码中实施时,执行必要任务的程序代码或代码段可存储在例如存储媒体的非暂时性计算机可读媒体中。处理器可执行所描述任务。
