Patent number: 11222625Abstract: Systems and methods for training a control panel to recognize user defined and preprogrammed sound patterns are provided. Such systems and methods can include the control panel operating in a learning mode, receiving initial ambient audio from a region, and saving the initial ambient audio as an audio pattern in a memory device of the control panel. Such systems and methods can also include the control panel operating in an active mode, receiving subsequent ambient audio from the region, using an audio classification model to make an initial determination as to whether the subsequent ambient audio matches or is otherwise consistent with the audio pattern, determining whether the initial determination is correct, and when the control panel determines that the initial determination is incorrect, modifying or updating the audio classification model for improving the accuracy in detecting future consistency with the audio pattern.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2019Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: Ademco Inc.Inventors: Pradyumna Sampath, Ramprasad Yelchuru, Purnaprajna R.

Patent number: 10545518Abstract: A controller for controlling energy consumption in a home includes a constraints engine to define variables for multiple appliances in the home corresponding to various home modes and persona of an occupant of the home. A modeling engine models multiple paths of energy utilization of the multiple appliances to place the home into a desired state from a current context. An optimal scheduler receives the multiple paths of energy utilization and generates a schedule as a function of the multiple paths and a selected persona to place the home in a desired state.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2017Date of Patent: January 28, 2020Assignee: Ademco Inc.Inventors: Pradeep Shetty, Wendy Foslien Graber, Purnaprajna R.

Patent number: 8983670Abstract: A system for disaggregating a gross energy measurement into individual component energy consumption. A collection of components may be situated in a facility. A sensor may obtain electrical signals from one or more power input lines which convey power to the facility for the components. The signals may indicate the total energy consumption by the collection of components. Approaches and/or mechanisms may be used to disaggregate the indication of total energy consumption into indications of individual energy consumption by the components without the need for separately determining the individual energy consumption with additional measurements or instrumentation. Also, approaches and/or mechanisms may be used for integrating a known load activity with whole facility energy consumption for enhancing the component disaggregation. Indications of individual energy consumption permit a reasonable evaluation of components from efficiency, conservation and/or other perspectives.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2011Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Pradeep Shetty, Wendy Foslien, Keith Curtner, Purnaprajna R.
