REMOTE OPERATION OF A BEDDING CLIMATE CONTROL APPARATUS

摘要

A bedding climate control apparatus that delivers, in a quiet manner, forced airflow from a fan/blower within a housing to selectively deliver tempered (heated via a thermal element) and untempered (room temperature) air through a flexible hose to bedding. The quiet manner is attained with acoustic foam in the path of incoming airflow to the fan/blower and by oversizing each of the components that create a pressure drop including the capacity of the fan/blower over what is needed to deliver a required amount of airflow. Temperature may be set remotely via a wireless remote control and via a protocol access enabled device.

主权项

1. A method of regulating operation of a bedding climate control apparatus, comprising the steps of:
equipping a bedding climate control apparatus with a thermal element that imparts thermal energy to vary a temperature or a humidity in a bed before that of an environment surrounding the bed; receiving commands in a wireless manner; operating the equipped bedding climate control apparatus in response to receipt of the commands to vary the temperature or the humidity in a manner in accord with the commands; sensing the varied temperature or humidity; and transmitting in a wireless manner the sensed and varied temperature or humidity to a location that is beyond confines of the bedding climate control apparatus.
