Description

采暖设备控制器的图形用户界面系统
技术领域
本发明涉及恒温器和其它采暖设备控制器，且特别是涉及用于这种采暖设备控制器的图形用户界面。
背景技术
当前采暖设备控制器或恒温器具有有限的用户界面，该界面通常包括多个数据输入按钮和一个小显示器。下文，术语恒温器将用来说明用于一般的采暖控制设备且对此不作任何限制。例如，除了传统的恒温器外，当前这样的控制设备可以是恒湿器或者用于通风控制。众所周知，恒温器往往具有自动定时保持低温(setback)能力，该自动定时保持低温能力涉及编程的温度时间表。这种时间表由一系列的时间表设定点组成。每个设定点包括预期温度和预期时间。一旦对温度时间表进行编程，控制器就相应地升高或降低温度。例如，可对温度时间表进行编程，从而在冬季月份，在上午6点钟当家庭成员醒来时可自动将房间加热到72度，而在当家庭成员工作和上学时的白天，冷却到60度，在下午4点钟又重新加热到72度，然后在晚上11点钟后当家庭成员睡觉时冷却最后一段时间到60度。这种在非高峰期间的低温时间表节约了能源消耗。
众所周知用户很难使用用于恒温器的用户界面的当前形式，因为这种界面不直观且使用起来有点复杂。因此，用户或者不能利用控制器的能源节省编程功能，或者不能改变通过安装者或厂家默认设置来编程的时间表。
恒温器的当前用户界面的另一个局限性是一旦被编程，就不可能容易地再检查温度时间表。通常，将显示器设置为在某个时间以数字方式显示一个设定点。使用输入按钮，用户必须“向前翻页”到时间表中的下一个设定点或者“向后翻页”到前一个设定点。
尽管用户能困难地确定在控制器中编程的温度时间表，但用户不能确定下面的这个温度时间表有多么接近。当然，当新设定点决定控制器应当提高或降低房间或其它建筑物内的温度时，温度不能立即改变到该新的温度。对房间或建筑物加热或冷却到预期的温度，这需要一定时间。通常恒温器跟踪这个信息以允许更容易地作出调整。目前，用户不能检查该信息且不能将温度时间表与实际的房间温度联系起来。
在本技术中需要的是一种用于恒温器的用户界面，在其中能更容易地对温度时间表进行编程。用户界面应当显示时间表的更友好的用户界面表示，从而用户能同时检查一整天的时间表。用户界面也应当容易地显示可选择的时间表，诸如周末和周内时间表。再者，图形表示本身应当是以直观方式来对时间表进行编程。用户界面也应当能在一个时间周期内比较温度时间表和实际记载温度。
发明概述
可认为本发明是用于采暖设备控制器的图形用户界面。在一些实施例中，将用户界面系统安装在恒温器的壁上，作为恒温器的一部分。在另一些实施例中，用户界面系统是与位于某处的恒温器进行联系的手持计算装置。用户界面系统包括一中央处理单元，一存储器和一具有触摸屏的显示器，该触摸屏用于输入。存储器存储至少一个温度时间表。温度时间表有至少一个设定点，每一个所述设定点将预期温度与预期时间联系起来。显示器用图形表示温度时间表且允许用户容易和直观地对温度时间表进行编程。温度时间表可以以阶跃函数图形，设定点的列表，或时钟和温度控制(诸如刻度盘)的方式来显示。在一些实施例中，显示器也可以用图形表示与预期温度时间表比较的实际温度历史记录。在另外一些实施例中，温度时间表可以以诸如滑动条或滚动条控制器的其它图形方式来显示和改变。
本发明的几个目的和优点包括：温度时间表比过去的用户界面更容易被编程；阶跃函数或其它显示更信息化和直观；可将历史数据显示给用户；和可对多个时间表进行编程。
附图的简要描述
附图1示出了采暖设备控制器的用户界面系统的框图；
附图2示出了在一个实施例中具有输入笔的用户界面系统的透视图。
优选实施例的详细描述
本发明是用于恒温器或者其它采暖控制器的用户界面系统。在所有附图中，相同的部件用同一参考标号标记。这些参考标号包括：
参考标号 说明
100 中央处理单元
200 显示单元
205 表示时间的轴
210 表示温度的轴
215 温度时间表的图形表示
220 温度历史记录的图形表示
225 其它数据
230 另外的控制机构
235 按钮
240 输入笔
300 存储器
400 温度时间表数据结构
500 温度历史记录数据结构
600 设定点
700 实际温度点
800 连到加热/冷却装置或恒温器上的导线管
参照附图，附图1示出了用于采暖设备控制器的用户界面系统的框图。用户界面系统包括一中央处理器单元100。该中央处理单元100与一显示单元200和一存储器300连接。显示单元200具有一触摸屏，在没有键盘或鼠标需求的情况下该触摸屏允许用户输入数据。存储器300包括一由一个或多个设定点600组成的温度时间表数据结构400。存储器300也包括一由一个或多个实际温度点700组成的温度历史记录数据结构500。
如上所述，显示单元200包括一图形显示器/触摸屏。这种结构将随同一用户非常友好的数据输入机构而提供一种信息非常灵活的图形显示。显示单元200可以与在手持个人数字助理(“PDA”)中使用的触摸屏显示很相似，个人数字助理诸如由3COM生产的Palm牌PDA，由Hewlett Packard等生产的Jornada牌PDA。当然图形用户界面系统也可以与恒温器本身集成在一起生产。在这样的实施例中，触摸LCD显示器与恒温器现存的中央处理单元和RAM连接。
温度时间表数据结构400和温度历史记录数据结构500是在存储器300内配置和保存的数据结构。例如，温度时间表数据结构400和温度历史记录数据结构500可以是简单的二维数组，其中时间序列和相应的温度相关。在附图1中，配置温度时间表数据结构400来调整在上午6:00的温度为60度(见600.1)，然后在6:30为67度(见600.2)，且在上午8:00达到73度(见600.3)等。示出的温度历史记录数据结构500用来存储在上午6:00的实际温度为60度(见700.1)，且到上午6:30的温度已经上升到69度(见700.2)的信息。
当然，温度时间表数据结构400和温度历史记录数据结构500也可以是组织更多数据的更先进的数据结构。例如，可以将温度时间表数据结构400配置为允许对多于一个的时间表进行编程。可将一个时间表指定为从周一到周五运行，而将第二个时间表指定为在每周六和每周日运行。可替换地，可将不同的时间表指定为一周内的每天。而且也可将不同的时间表设计和存储用于夏天月份和冬天月份。
可将温度历史记录数据结构500配置为存储更多的信息，包括在几天，几周，或者几个月时期内的历史信息。可累计数据用以显示按时间，天，或者季节的平均温度。精通计算机编程的人可容易地设计这些数据结构。
用户界面系统也具有用于加热/冷却设备或其恒温器的导线管800，从而用户界面系统可与该恒温器或者其它采暖设备控制器通讯。
附图2示出了用户界面系统的一个可能实施例的透视图。在附图2中，将用户界面系统作为恒温器的壁单元的集成元件进行安装。用户界面系统的显示单元200显示温度时间表215的图形表示，也显示温度历史记录图形220的图形表示。这些图形表示以一个轴表示时间205，另一个轴表示温度210的图形方式给出。温度时间表215的图形表示作为阶跃函数示出在附图2中。也显示其它数据225，这些数据是当前日期，该星期中第几天，时间，户内和/或户外相对湿度，户内和/或户外温度等等。显示单元200也以格式化方式而不是图形中的函数形式表示温度时间表或历史时间表。例如，温度时间表可以设定点的列表来显示。或者，图形可以直方图来显示，其中直方图的长度表示温度。
显示单元200也可配置有附加控制机构230，例如它可以在华氏温度和摄氏温度之间，在标准和军用时间之间，和在显示一天的时间表与显示一周的时间表之间进行切换显示。除了在显示单元200上编程和显示的控制机构以外，也可对恒温器235的物理按钮进行编程用于同用户界面系统一起作用。这与PDA的操作相似。
在显示单元200显示的图形表示，控制机构和其它数据通过存储在存储器300中的计算机程序来实现。计算机程序可用任何一种计算机语言来书写。可能使用的计算机语言包括C，Java和Visual Basic。
该用户界面系统的操作比其它采暖设备控制器以前的用户界面更直观。各种设定点600可以诸如阶跃函数，直方图等的图形格式215在显示单元200上显示。在附图2所示的阶跃函数的实施例中，阶跃函数线的每条线部分与在温度时间表数据结构400中的设定点对应。因为显示单元200是触摸式的，用户可用手指或者输入笔240将代表一天的某一时间的阶跃函数的任一条垂直线“点击并拖拉”到一个不同值，该值表示改变温度的新时间。同样地，用户可用手指或者输入笔240将代表温度的任一条水平线“点击并拖拉”到一个不同值，该值表示在那个时间周期内通过控制器保持的新温度。当用户改变温度时间表215的图形显示时，中央处理单元100改变温度时间表数据结构400以反映这些变化。
在一些实施例中，配置按钮235或附加控制机构230从而用户可进行附加的编程。例如，按钮235或附加控制机构230之一可导致显示更改的时间表-例如用于周末的一个时间表-用户可以编程。或者按下按钮235或附加控制机构230之一可造成温度历史记录500通过显示单元200来显示。
在本发明的其它实施例中，温度时间表215可以其它格式来显示。再者，示出在附图2中的阶跃函数仅是以图形显示温度时间表215的几种方法之一。它也可以以一个设定点的列表来显示，示出每个设定点的时间和温度。或者，可显示一个滚动条或滑动条控制器，其中用户可简单调整该控制器以调节温度。在这一实施例中，时间可以数字或者模拟时钟来显示，为了改变现有的设定点或者创建一新的设定点，用户可随着温度控制来调整该时钟控制。
用户界面系统可与采暖设备控制器一起运行的方式有多种。有可能将用户界面系统集成到采暖设备控制系统上并将其安装在如同当前可编程的恒温器的壁上。然而，如果将用户界面配置在手持PDA上，那么用户界面通过PDA的红外传感器与采暖设备控制器进行通讯。或者，PDA可与个人电脑同步且个人电脑可为采暖控制设备控制器设置合适的指令。或者，PDA可利用蜂窝/移动电话特征来给控制器(即恒温器，个人电脑等)打电话以交换相关的数据。
从上面的详细描述中，对那些本领域的技术人员来说明显的是，可对本发明进行多种改变，修改和变型。然而，对所有没有背离本发明精神的这些变化都被认为在其要求保护的范围内。
