ADAPTIVE PATTERN RECOGNITION BASED CONTROLLER APPARATUS AND METHOD AND HUMAN-INTERFACE THEREFORE

摘要

A system and method of predicting items likely to appeal to a user, based on data received from a remote site. One or more local systems are provided, along with a remote system, said local systems communicating with said remote system over a network connection. Each local system maintains a set of characterized items. A local processor predicts an appeal of an item to a user based on the comparison with the set of characterized items with, e.g., user preferences. The user may interact through graphical user interface. At least one user-preference predictive algorithm may be employed to present items predicted to appeal to the user.

1. A thermostat for controlling a climate control system, comprising:
a thermal sensor, having a thermal sensor output; at least one sensor selected from the group consisting of a light sensor, a humidity sensor, a pressure sensor, an air flow sensor, and a door open signal, producing at least one sensor output; at least one processor, configured to control the climate control system in dependence on the thermal sensor output, and the at least one sensor output; and a remote control interface configured to control the at least one processor, and receive feedback, through a digital communication interface.
