  • Patent number: 12078011
    Abstract: A motorized window treatment has a headrail, a first operable rail and a second operable rail, a driving device, a distance detection circuit, a receiving circuit and a motor control circuit. The motor control circuit is coupled with the receiving circuit and the distance detection circuit for configuring the driving device to move the first operable rail and the second operable rail according to the signals received by the receiving circuit. When the receiving circuit receives a command signal to move the second operable rail towards a target position and the first operable rail locates between the second operable rail and the target position, the motor control circuit configures the driving device to move the second operable rail and the first operable rail collectively towards the target position.

  • Patent number: 12006765
    Abstract: A window covering includes a headrail, a covering material located below the headrail, a rotating member connected to the covering material and provided in the headrail, a motor provided in the headrail and coupled to the rotating member, and a control device provided in the headrail and electrically connected to the motor. The headrail has a longitudinal direction. The rotating member is adapted to drive the covering material to expand or collapse. The motor drives the rotating member to rotate. When a moving speed of a lower end of the covering material decreases and such a situation lasts for a predetermined time, the control device controls the motor to stop operating. Whereby, no matter whether the covering material is fully expanded, fully collapsed, or encounters resistance somewhere in between, the motor can be stopped.

  • Publication number: 20220085738
    Abstract: An electric window covering has a covering material, a driving device, a microcontroller, a position detecting module and a trigger detecting module. The position detecting module detects a position of a lower end of the covering material to generate a position information. The microcontroller compares the position information with a reference position to generate a position relationship with respect to the reference position. The trigger detecting module detects whether the covering material is moved by an external force for generating a detecting result. When the microcontroller determines that a trigger event is received according to the detecting result, the microcontroller configures the driving device to move the covering material according to the position relationship and the trigger event.

  • Publication number: 20200043322
    Abstract: A remote control used for opening and closing a covering assembly of an electric window treatment includes a main body, which includes a fixed unit, a rotating unit, and a detector. The fixed unit includes a first input unit which can be pressed. When the first input unit is pressed, it generates a first input signal to control the movement of the covering assembly. The rotating unit surrounds an external periphery of the fixed unit, and is rotatable relative to the fixed unit. The detector detects the rotation of the rotating unit relative to the fixed unit, and accordingly generates a second input signal to control the movement of the covering assembly. Whereby, a user can control the covering assembly in either way, and therefore the remote control is more flexible and convenient than conventional remote controls.
