Last updated 4 months ago

1. Why is "Continuous No Presence Duration" Crucial?

  • Cost-Effective Detection Method

    • Eliminates the need for expensive human presence sensors that monitor existence, activity areas, and trajectories. Instead, we utilize infrared detection combined with time-based calculations to accurately determine whether a space is truly unoccupied.

  • Simplified Installation, Reduced Costs

    • Traditional smart home solutions often rely on door sensors, cameras, or multiple sensors to determine "occupied/unoccupied" status, resulting in complex installations and high costs. Our lightweight solution not only achieves precise detection but also significantly lowers hardware and installation expenses.

  • Enhanced Energy Efficiency and Comfort

    • Accurate "no presence" detection leads to higher energy-saving efficiency and a more comfortable living experience, helping users achieve intelligent energy management.

  • Smart Adaptation to Various Scenarios

    • Different time periods and spaces require varying durations of continuous no presence. Traditional solutions often necessitate complex manual settings. Our system adapts automatically through intelligent algorithms, simplifying user operations.

2. Core Technology

- Concept of Continuous No Presence Duration

  • Accurate Unoccupied State Detection

    • After the sensor last detects someone, the system starts a timer. Only if no one is detected within the set duration will the system recognize the space as "truly unoccupied."

  • Avoiding Misjudgments with Intelligent Reset

    • If someone is detected again during the timing period, the timer resets, preventing false positives caused by brief departures or temporary outings.

- Focus on "Presence" Without Determining Activity Areas

  • Simplified Hardware and Algorithms

    • No need to track the exact location of individuals within the room or recognize their postures or trajectories, greatly simplifying hardware and algorithm requirements.

  • Low-Cost, High-Precision Deployment

    • By installing infrared sensors at room entrances or main corridors, high-precision space occupancy detection can be achieved at a minimal cost with easy deployment.

- Low Cost + High Precision

  • Affordable Hardware

    • Utilize inexpensive infrared human sensors connected to the iSG system for efficient monitoring.

  • Intelligent Time-Based Calculation Model

    • Combine the collected signals with time-based models within the iSG system to ensure precise determination.

3. Application Highlights

- Energy-Saving Scenarios

  • Lighting Control

    • Automatically turns off lights when a space is detected as "continuously unoccupied" and swiftly turns them back on when someone re-enters.

  • Air Conditioning Energy Savings

    • Automatically adjusts the temperature or turns off the AC after the preset duration of no presence. When someone returns, it immediately restores the comfortable temperature.

  • Other Device Integration

    • Extends to TVs, speakers, fans, heaters, etc., preventing long-term standby power wastage by cutting off idle power consumption.

- Comfort Experience

  • Fully Automated Operation

    • Eliminates the hassle of manual switching, ensuring the environment is always in the optimal state for enhanced living convenience.

  • Rapid Recovery

    • When someone re-enters, the system instantly restores preset lighting and temperature modes, providing a more thoughtful living experience.

  • Security & Privacy Balanced

    • Does not rely on cameras or other video devices, significantly protecting family privacy while also assisting in determining whether the home is occupied, thereby enhancing security.

- Simplified Operation

No Complex Settings Required,No need to individually configure integrations for each space. Simply place the infrared motion sensor and the execution device within the same space to achieve intelligent control.

4. System Structure and Working Principle

- System Structure

  • Infrared Sensors: Installed at room entrances or key locations to detect human movement signals.

  • iSG System: Receives infrared trigger information, applies time-threshold algorithms to determine if the space is "continuously unoccupied."

  • Execution Devices: Adjust lighting, air conditioning, curtains, appliances, etc., based on system commands to turn on/off or change modes.

- Working Principle

Through time-based calculations, the iSG system records the last detected presence time, effectively filtering out situations where someone briefly leaves and returns, ensuring accurate determinations.

5. Q&A / Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q1: If someone in the home doesn't move much, will the system mistakenly judge the space as unoccupied?

    • A: The combination of infrared human sensing and time-based determination ensures that any slight movement signal will reset the no presence timer, preventing misjudgments.

  • Q2: Does it require complex wiring?

    • A: Infrared sensors can use wireless battery power or simple wiring methods, making installation and maintenance very convenient.

  • Q3: How is privacy protected?

    • A: The system only uses infrared to detect human movement without recording faces or uploading images. All data processing occurs locally within the iSG system without uploading to the cloud, ensuring privacy security.

6. Development and Future Prospects

  • Enhanced Space Computing Capabilities

    • Future integrations will include temperature and humidity calculations, CO₂ and PM2.5 monitoring, energy consumption tracking, and illuminance measurements to enrich home health and energy management functions.

  • Algorithm Iteration

    • Continuous optimization of algorithm models to improve the adaptability and precision of space occupancy determination, meeting more diverse smart home needs.
