Patent number: 11126152Abstract: A smart curtain system and a method of adjusting opening of curtain dynamically are provided. The system has a sensing apparatus, a control apparatus and a curtain apparatus. The sensing apparatus retrieves an environmental sensing parameter set. The control apparatus determines a parameter of insolation reaching indoor, a parameter of air-condition loading and a parameter of outputted illumination according to the environmental sensing parameter set, and generates a curtain control signal according to the parameter of insolation reaching indoor, the parameter of air-condition loading and the parameter of outputted illumination. The curtain apparatus adjusts a current opening of a curtain according to the curtain control signal for adjusting an area of obscured sunshine. The present disclosed example can effectively save energy, provide better indoor comfort, and improve user experience.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2019Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: CHICONY POWER TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventors: Tse-Wen Chang, Wen-Yen Cheng, Shen-Min Yang

Patent number: 10808979Abstract: An ice storage amount adjusting system is disclosed. The ice storage amount adjusting system includes a chiller, an air-condition scheduler for outputting a scheduling parameter of an air-conditioner during a first time, an indoor-temperature setting module for outputting indoor-temperature setting condition during the first time, a building exterior-load collecting module for outputting exterior loading factors of a building during the first time, a weather forecasting data collecting module for outputting weather forecasting data during an upcoming second time, and an air-condition loading predictor. The air-condition loading predictor predicts an air-condition loading of the air-conditioner at the second time based on the scheduling parameter, the indoor-temperature setting condition, the exterior loading factors and the weather forecasting data. The chiller adjusts its ice storage amount to reach a target storage demand based on the predicted air-condition loading.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2018Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: CHICONY POWER TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventors: Shen-Min Yang, Cheng-Yi Ho, Wen-Yen Cheng
