English to French Tech/Engineering Patents (in a patent) Building automation system

Recognition of occupancy and behavioral patterns can be utilized for optimization purposes. Optimization in this case applies to building and home automation including HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), lighting, safety & security, as well as assisted living.

Deviations from normal behavioral patterns could, for instance, be: the opening of a door or of a window at an unexpected time of the day, an unexpected temperature rise or fall or noise due to footsteps, the improbable presence of a mobile device as detected by a router, or any other unforeseen sensor readings. A detection of one or of a series of unexpected events may be used to alert occupants (e.g. via text message, via email, or via social media). It may also result in follow-up action such as inspection of the interior or entrance door through a web camera. Similarly, behavioral deviations may be used in the context of assisted living for alerting relatives or carers when an occupant appears ill or immobile.

The building automation system may not only be used to control heating. The disclosed system can also be used to control air conditioning and ventilation. In other words, the
building automation system can be used to control the entire heating, ventilation, and air condition scheme 14 of a building. The system may also be used for other purposes such as assisted living 15.

the method further comprises the step of feeding the at least one set point into a system (15) for assisted living, or for home safety, or for any building automation system.
