DYNAMIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL FOR A ROOM CONTAINING A GROUP OF PEOPLE
First Claim
1. A computer controlled method for dynamically controlling the ambient temperature in an enclosed room containing a plurality of people comprising:
- sensing the body temperature of at least one of said plurality of people;
storing a set of parameters to be correlated with said sensed body temperature in determining a selected optimum room temperature;
wirelessly transmitting sensed body temperature to be correlated with said set of parameters wherein said optimum room temperature is determined; and
controlling the room temperature to provide the selected optimum room temperature.

Abstract
Optimum temperature in a room is controlled by directly and dynamically sensing the body temperatures of one or more people in the room and storing a set of parameters to be correlated with the sensed body temperatures in determining a selected optimum room temperature. The sensed body temperatures are wirelessly transmitted to be correlated with the set of parameters wherein optimum room temperature is determined based on those parameters. In response to this correlation, a selected optimum room temperature may be provided by appropriate heating or cooling.
