Abstract

A computer system as a building is disclosed. The computer system as a building is able to respond to the animate and inanimate occupants of the building by interacting and communicating in real-time through movement, sound, lighting, visual effects, and environmental effects.

Claims

1. A computer system as a building, the computer system comprising:

a plurality sensors for obtaining information on;

characteristics of one or more animate and inanimate occupants of the building, activity in the building and physical and qualitative characteristics of the building;

one or more data analysis tools to analyze the obtained information;

one or more knowledge databases;

one or more models databases;

a plurality of active computerized parametric remote controlled components comprising at least one of the following;

active computerized parametric remotely controlled wall;

active computerized parametric remotely controlled ceiling;

active computerized parametric remotely controlled floor;

active computerized parametric remotely controlled piece of furniture;

active computerized parametric remotely controlled window;

active computerized parametric remotely controlled door;

active computerized parametric remotely controlled sound system;

active computerized parametric remotely controlled lighting system;

active computerized robotic tools;

at least one logical tool to create harmonies between the active components settings;

a data spine for circulating information amongst the plurality of sensors in the building, the plurality of active components in the building, and the data analysis logical tools;

wherein the building interacts and communicates with the one or more animate or inanimate occupants in real-time, and wherein the plurality of active computerized parametric remote controlled components interact with each other in real-time; and

wherein space configuration and space qualities are controlled by settings applied to the plurality of active components.

2. The computer system as a building of claim 1, wherein the building is a programmable entity and wherein the building interacts and communicates in real-time through movement, sound, lighting, visual effects, and environmental effects.

3. The computer system as a building of claim 1, wherein the computer system as a building is upgradable.

4. The computer system as a building of claim 1, further comprising one or more logical geometry controllers for changing in real-time a geometry and a volume of the building by moving one or more active computerized parametric remotely controlled component of the building in response to the mise-en-scene design and the analyzed information.

5. The computer system as a building of claim 1, further comprising one or more logical mise-en-scene analysis tools to create in real time a mise-en-scene design for the building based on the analyzed information.

6. The computer system as a building of claim 1, further comprising tools to allow for communication and coordination of action between the computer system and third party systems of the building.

7. The computer system as a building of claim 1, wherein the computer system learns from experience.

8. The computer system as a building of claim 1, wherein the building interacts with the environment.

9. The computer system as a building of claim 1, wherein the building transforms itself by adjusting its settings to adapt to the user.

10. The computer system as a building of claim 1, wherein the building transforms itself by adjusting its settings to adapt to the circumstances.

11. The computer system as a building of claim 1, wherein the building transforms itself by adjusting its settings to adapt to one or several goals.

12. The computer system as a building of claim 1, wherein the building is connected to other systems and exchanges information.

13. The computer system as a building of claim 1, wherein the computer system is able to create new settings based on the analyzed information, on its programs and on its experience.

14. The computer system as a building of claim 1, wherein the computer system is used for at least one of the following:

healthcare facility, residential building, office facility, agricultural facility, industrial facility, store, sport facility, sport facility, commercial facility, public facility, infrastructure facility.

15. The computer system as a building of claim 1, wherein the computer system is used as a productivity tool.
