  • Patent number: 11011034
    Abstract: An evacuation controller, an evacuation control system, and a mobile communication terminal. The evacuation controller includes: a local control unit capable of storing or acquiring evacuation path information to or from a cloud via a mobile communication terminal, wherein the evacuation path information is configured at least based on a layout of a building and a location of a danger occurred in the building. According to the evacuation controller and the evacuation control system, exchange of evacuation path information between the local control unit and a remote provider service system is realized through exchange between the mobile communication terminal and the cloud; or by configuring evacuation path information directly in the local control unit, the local control unit can clearly and timely learn about the local evacuation path information and can evacuate people based on the local evacuation path information.

  • Publication number: 20200264572
    Abstract: An intelligent control system and method. The intelligent control system includes: a sensor assembly, including a plurality of sensors arranged in the building and configured to capture real-time data in the building; a data processing module, connected to the plurality of sensors to process the real-time data to obtain processed data; and a decision-making module, connected to the data processing module to receive the processed data and determine a counter measure, wherein the sensor assembly is further configured to capture response data in the building to the executed counter measure and feedback the response data to the decision-making module, and the decision-making module is further configured to train the real-time decision model based on the response data. The processed data and the corresponding response data are further stored as historical data, which is used for establishing and/or training the real-time decision model and a predictive decision-making model.
