| 摘要 |
The invention pertains to a method and system which monitors attached energy device(s) utilization and allows or inhibits power based on the individual device's user or users current location relative to the device's point of use, the device's effective use range and user based rules. This invention is intended to allow end users to automatically control energy using devices based on the user's real time movement relative to the device in household, workplace, or commercial settings. The energy utilizing device may be either a plug-load, switched-load, or sensor controlled device. |

1. An autonomous system for managing power distribution to an electrically-powered device comprising:
a power controller module, said power controller module including power input means, power output means, and intervening, operably connected, integral power switching means,
said integral power switching means being configured for actuation by an integral power management module operably connected with said integral power switching means, said integral power management module including integral actuation signal detection and actuation means configured for, in accordance with commands and operational parameters, upon detection of an actuating signal, actuating said integral power switching means to alter power output through said power output means from a first power output level to a second power output level;said integral power control module having integral, operably integrated memory means for non-volatile storing all of said commands and operational parameters for effecting said altering of said power output through said power output means, said memory means being operably connected with said integral actuation signal detection and actuation means; an active RFID transmitter, said RFID transmitter being configured for substantially, continuously repetitive transmitting of a said actuation signal;
wherein said active RFID transmitter and said integral actuation signal detection and actuation means are respectively configured for transmitting of, and actuation by an actuation signal, said actuation signal including an identification component for identifying a said actuating signal as a said actuation signal; andwherein said integral actuation signal detection and actuation means is configured for, upon detecting signals that are other than actuation signals, reacting other than in response to a said actuation signal. |
