Dynamically adaptive personalized smart energy profiles

摘要

A facility employing systems, methods, and/or techniques for dynamically and adaptively configuring configurable energy consuming and producing devices (e.g., smart energy devices) based on user profiles and user presence information is disclosed. In some embodiments, the facility periodically detects the presence of users, and retrieves preference information for those users. For each of one or more configurable energy devices in the area, the facility generates a combined setting based on the preferences of each user present and adjusts the devices based on the combined settings. For example, if User A, User B, and User C are present in a room and User A's preferred temperature setting is 75° F., User B's preferred temperature setting is 68° F., and User C's preferred temperature setting is 70° F., the facility may generate a combined setting for a thermostat by taking the average value of the users in the room.

主权项

1. A computer-readable medium, that is not a transitory, propagating signal, storing computer-executable instructions that, if executed by a computing system having a memory and a processor, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
receiving device preference information for each of a plurality of devices from each of a plurality of users, each device having an associated region; and for each of the plurality of devices,
determining a number of users in the region associated with the device,determining that the number of users in the region associated with the device exceeds a predetermined threshold,
wherein the predetermined threshold is greater than zero, andin response to determining that the number of users in the region associated with the device exceeds the predetermined threshold,
for each user present in the region associated with the device,
retrieving a setting preference for the device,generating a combined setting based on the retrieved setting preferences, andsending an indication of the generated combined setting to the device.
