Patent number: 10649421Abstract: The various implementations described herein include methods and systems for protecting unattended children in the home. In one aspect, a method is performed at computer system. The computer system: (1) receives occupancy data for a room in a smart home environment; (2) determines based on the received occupancy data whether a predetermined child-protection alert condition is met; (3) in accordance with a determination that the condition is met, presents or sends instructions to issue a child-protection alert; (4) receives a request to cancel the child-protection alert; (5) in accordance with a determination that the request is a first type of cancellation request, cancels the child-protection alert and modifies the predetermined child-protection alert condition; and (6) in accordance with a determination that the request is a second type of cancellation request, cancels the child-protection alert and foregoes modifying the predetermined child-protection alert condition.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2017Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Sierra Leigh Nelmes, Sophie Solvieg Le Guen, Maxime Veron, Isabel Guenette, David Sloo

Patent number: 9513642Abstract: The current application is directed to an intelligent-thermostat-controlled environmental-conditioning system in which computational tasks and subcomponents with associated intelligent-thermostat functionalities are distributed to one or more of concealed and visible portions of one or more intelligent thermostats and, in certain implementations, to one or more intermediate boxes. The intelligent thermostats are interconnected to intermediate boxes by wired and/or wireless interfaces and intelligent thermostats intercommunicate with one another by wireless communications. Wireless communications include communications through a local router and an ISP, 3G and 4G wireless communications through a mobile service provider. Components of the intelligent-thermostat-controlled thermostat-controlled environmental-conditioning system may also be connected by wireless communications to remote computing facilities.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2012Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Matthew Lee Rogers, Anthony Michael Fadell, Erik Charlton, Shigefumi Honjo, Yoky Matsuoka, David Sloo, Isabel Guenette
