PERSISTENT HOME THERMAL COMFORT MODEL REUSABLE ACROSS MULTIPLE SENSOR AND DEVICE CONFIGURATIONS IN A SMART HOME

摘要

This patent specification relates to systems and methods for modeling characteristics of an enclosure. More particularly, this patent specification relates to thermal modeling of internal temperature dynamics of the enclosure.

主权项

1. A device associated with an enclosure, the device comprising:
a sensor database that temporarily stores a batch of device inputs and measurements; an intermediate history database that stores a recursively updated history object, the recursively updated history object comprising a historical collection of the device inputs and measurements; control circuitry coupled to the databases and operative to:
execute a state-space model engine that approximates a thermodynamic state of the enclosure and generates at least one predicted output associated with the enclosure based on an evaluation of a state-space model comprising a plurality of vectors and a plurality of mapping functions, wherein each mapping function is associated with a respective one of the vectors; andexecute a mapping function determination engine that updates the plurality of mapping functions based on the batch of device inputs and measurements and the recursively updated history object.
