Abstract

In general terms, this disclosure is directed to an intelligent home and office automation system. An intelligent automation system, comprises one or more sensors configured to detect activity; a transceiver; a processor communicatively connected to the transceiver, the processor configured to control a remotely located device; wherein, in response to detecting activity, the one or more sensors are configured to send detection signals to the transceiver, wherein the transceiver is configured to communicate the received detection signals to the processor; and wherein the processor is configured to control one or more local devices based on the received detection signals.

Claims

1. An intelligent automation system, comprising:

one or more sensors configured to detect activity;

a transceiver;

a processor communicatively connected to the transceiver, the processor configured to control a remotely located device;

wherein, in response to detecting activity, the one or more sensors are configured to send detection signals to the transceiver,

wherein the transceiver is configured to communicate the received detection signals to the processor; and

wherein the processor is configured to control one or more local devices based on the received detection signals.

2. The intelligent automation system of claim 1, wherein the one or more sensors comprise a network of sensors.

3. The intelligent automation system of claim 1, further comprising:

the transceiver is configured to send the detection signals to a remotely located computing device;

the transceiver is configured to receive instruction signals from the remotely located computing device;

the transceiver is configured to send the instruction signals to the processor; and

the processor is configured to control the one or more local devices based on the instruction signals.

4. The intelligent automation system of claim 1, wherein the transceiver is further configured to:

send, to a remotely located server, the detection signals; and

receive, from the remotely located server, processed data.

5. The intelligent automation system of claim 4, wherein the processor controls the one or more local devices based on the processed data received from the remotely located server.

6. The intelligent automation system of claim 4, wherein:

the transceiver is configured to send the processed data to a remotely located computing device;

the transceiver is configured to receive instruction signals from the remotely located computing device;

the transceiver is configured to send the instruction signals to the processor; and

the processor is configured to control the one or more local devices based on the instruction signals.

7. The intelligent automation system of claim 1, wherein the one or more sensors are selected from a group comprising:

a pyroelectric infrared detector, an ambient light sensor, an infrared detector, a capacitive touch sensor, a temperature sensor, a microphone, and a camera.

8. The intelligent automation system of claim 1, wherein the one or more local devices comprise:

a light, a thermostat, a television, a fan, a faucet, a window, a door, a garage door, and a security system.

9. The intelligent automation system of claim 1, wherein the one or more sensors, the transceiver, and the processor are contained in an adapter.

10. A method for controlling devices based on presence information, the method comprising:

receiving an activation signal;

listening, using one or more sensors, for activity;

detecting, using the one or more sensors, activity;

determining whether the activity corresponds to presence information; and

sending, to a remotely located computing device, in response to a determination that the activity corresponds to presence information, a notification comprising the presence information.

11. The method for controlling devices based on presence information of claim 10, further comprising:

receiving instructions based on the sent notification; and

controlling one or more local devices based on the received instructions.

12. The method for controlling devices based on presence information of claim 10, further comprising:

sending, to a remotely located server, the detected activity; and

receiving, from the remotely located server, presence information.

13. The method for controlling devices based on presence information of claim 10,

wherein the presence information further comprises data relating to individuals present in a home;

wherein the data further comprises;

a number of individuals,

an identification of each individual, and

a specific location of each individual.

14. The method for controlling devices based on presence information of claim 11, further comprising:

storing the presence information;

receiving updated presence information;

modifying the stored presence information; and

controlling the one or more local devices based on the modified stored presence information.

15. The method for controlling devices based on presence information of claim 10, further comprising:

storing, in memory, at least one profile comprising user preferences, wherein each profile is associated with a person;

receiving presence information for the person; and

controlling one or more local devices based on the profile of the person.

16. The method for controlling devices based on presence information of claim 15 wherein the profile further comprises past presence information.
