Abstract: A method for monitoring the safe use of a cooker uses a monitoring device in which set values for safety limits based on temperature and humidity or gas content measurements are set for sounding an alarm or cutting off the electricity or gas supply to the cooker. The temperature and humidity and/or gas content are measured above the cooker. The set safety limit values for the temperature and the humidity and/or gas content and/or their rates of change are set and the presence of the user is monitored on the basis of the use of the cooker and/or by a sensor which detects the presence of a person and/or by direct control feedback given by the user. The monitoring device is taught user-specific safety limit values automatically and intuitively on the basis of the use of the cooker, and are automatically changed or adjusted on the basis of the teaching.

Abstract: A supervision and control method for preventing poor air quality and fire uses an indicator unit mounted to the ceiling or on a wall and provided with an air quality sensor, and one or more control and supervision units as additional devices or as integrated or programmatic characteristics connected to home appliances or electrical devices. The air quality information measured by the air quality sensor is sent from the indicator unit to the control and supervision unit, which monitors, ventilates, and controls the operation and/or energy supply of home appliances or electrical devices on the basis of air quality information. The effect of control on air quality is monitored by the air quality sensor and an alarm is issued and/or the supply of electricity to predetermined home appliances and/or electrical devices is cut off if, regardless of control, a preset alarm limit is exceeded, when the presence of a user is not detected.

Abstract: A temperature guard sensor unit, which is to be connected as part of a temperature supervision system used to supervise the temperature of desired objects to prevent a fire and to issue an alarm of a dangerous situation is provided. The sensor unit includes one or more remote thermal sensors and an optic module defining an observation area, through which the remote thermal sensor monitors the temperature of the desired objects. The optic module is interchangeably attached to the sensor unit, wherein optic modules provided with observation areas differing from one another are arranged to be optionally attached to the same sensor unit. In this case, the same sensor unit is suitable for different installation sites and different objects to be supervised, when the sensor unit is provided with an optic module suitable for observing the object to be supervised from its installation site.

Abstract: The invention relates to an automated control system for multi-level authority to operate electronic and electrical equipment, said system comprising one or more wireless or wired controlled devices and one or more separate communicator and/or transmitter devices for an operation authorizing code and/or separate user identifiers for communicating the codes to a customer or a device. In the process of granting authorities to operate, the system utilizes, as positional data for a user or a device, the base station information of a mobile phone network and/or at close range a wired or wireless communication link, such as a bluetooth communication link.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for controlling a power (6), water (18) or gas (17) supply in emergency and energy saving situations. The system comprises one or more detectors (2, 8, 14, 15, 16) for indicating various service conditions of a monitored space, a control unit (1) as well as a mains-connected fault (7) or overload protector (8) or other control relay for controlling the operating power or water or gas (6, 18, 17) for appliances. The sound of one or more ambient condition monitoring detectors (14, 15, 16) or the presence of persons occupying the space is identified by the control unit's (1) sound defector (2, 3) connected with a monitored or controlled space and on the basis of the alarm sound or the presence of occupants the mains' grounding wire (GND) and neutral wire (N) or the mains' neutral wire (N) and phase lead (L) are actuated to connect with each other by means of a semiconductor switch (4).

Abstract: A remote control system, comprising a hand-operated remote control device and a control menu present in a display unit. Picking up the remote control device by hand activates a motion or position or push-button controlled user interface in the display unit. The remote control device is provided with an identification feature for its pick-up by hand, which activates the control menu and/or the remote control device. The motional and/or positional handling of the remote control device enables controlling the display unit's menus included in the user interface.

Abstract: An automatic control system for actuators and security devices in building automation. A wrist-held sensor and transmitter unit (11) transmits repeatedly, in the form of short telegrams, messages indicating the physiological condition of user to a receiver and control apparatus (12), which is placed in a monitored space either as a separate unit or a part of an appliance to be controlled. The receiver and control apparatus (12), or an information analyzer in data transfer communication therewith, uses the physiological condition of a user as a basis to conduct control selections and to control automatically the actuators and security devices in accordance with the physiological condition of a person who carries the transmitter unit (11). If necessary, the control selections can be influenced also by a piece of information indicating the location of a user. In addition to the automatic control of nearby equipment, the system is also applicable to monitoring the health of a user and to setting off alarms.

Abstract: An automatic control system for a security apparatus based on the presence of the user and having a portable transmitter for security based information, a receiver for that information and a control unit. The transmitter provides the receiver and control unit with information on the presence of a person. The receiver and control unit is provided with a detector which detects the opening of a door. A processor uses that presence information and the indication of a door being opened to compile information about whether the user is going out or coming in. The receiver and control unit automatically switches on a burglar monitor placed in a monitored space when the receiver and control unit determine that the user has left the monitored space.
