Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH07502397
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A system and method for controlling a space, wherein the space may be a building or buildings, including both residential and nonresidential buildings. A principal control system, which may include a security system, has the ability to control a plurality of control systems, including individual control devices. The principal control system has a main processor means, a memory means and interconnections to a plurality of control systems, and is capable, through the use of these elements, of controlling and integrating the control of these systems. Through a single selection made by an operator, control can be exercised automatically over the plurality of control systems, including the principal control system. Control is accomplished by predetermining and preprogramming a plurality of desired control modes, and storing these control modes in the memory means of the principal control system, such as a security system. Each control mode is designed to incorporate information defining a desired set of conditions which the space is to be controlled to. For example a "leave" mode may define the desired status of a plurality of control systems, such as a security system (e.g. armed), an HVAC system (e.g. setback temperature to a defined level), a lighting system (e.g. turn predefined lights on) as well as others. The modes are used in conjunction with the system to automate the control of a space.
