Abstract: A remote controlled air vent is provided comprising at least one closure member, and a vent control unit. The at least one closure member (e.g., a plurality of louvers) may be configured to control the egress of the air from the air vent and the vent control unit may control displacement of the at least one closure member in response to a wireless control signal. In one exemplary embodiment, the vent control unit may comprise a mechanical component to control displacement of the at least one closure member, and an electrical component including a wireless receiver to receive the wireless control signal.

Abstract: A computer-controlled air vent and methods of using the same are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the computer-controlled air vent includes: a top plate; a base connected to the top plate; a component housing connected to the top plate and to the base; a plurality of louvers rotatably positioned within the base; a force generating means connected to the louvers to rotate them between an open position and a closed position; a temperature sensor to sense an indoor temperature; a computer processor; a memory; a wireless transceiver; a bus to connect the processor and the memory; and a remote control device to control the opening and closing of the louvers.
