  • Patent number: 12082324
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for regulating the brightness of target zone lighting means that illuminate an interior target zone of an interior. The method comprises the following steps: optically mapping at least part of the interior to an interior image by means of spatially resolved brightness sensor means; determining a present brightness value vector, the components ?i(t) of which correspond to present integrated brightness values of an i-th interior image zone; determining a target zone brightness control value from the scalar product of the present brightness value vector and a target zone calibration vector associated with an interior target zone; and regulating the target zone brightness control value to a target zone brightness setpoint value by adapting the illumination intensity of the target zone lighting means.

  • Patent number: 11965676
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hot-air fan including a fan device for generating an air flow, a heating device for heating the air flow, and a control unit connected to the fan device and to the heating device. In this process, the control unit is designed to control the fan device in such a manner that, when the heating device is switched on, the fan device generates a starting air flow that is reduced to an operating air flow. The invention also relates to a method for operating the hot-air fan, including the steps of switching on the heating device and generating a starting air flow that is reduced to an operating air flow.

  • Patent number: 10963952
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for using augmented reality-based operations to interact with and analyze real estate property, including modifications and additions to the interior of the property. One example method includes receiving, from an augmented reality-enabled application, a request identifying at least one digital improvement associated with a particular real estate property. A set of characteristics associated with the at least one digital improvement are identified, and a response including at least a portion of the identified set of characteristics associated with the at least one digital improvement and a digital object representing the at least one digital improvement is transmitted to the augmented reality-enabled application.
