O documento JP 5-126392 descreve um sistema de iluminação que detecta tanto atemperatura quanto a umidade de um determinado local através de sensores. Um comuta-'dor faz a seleção de qual dos dois sinais será usado no processo de iluminação do local. Ailuminação é gerada de acordo com um mapa pré-definido associando temperatura e umi-dade a determinada cor, não permitindo ajustes por parte do usuário. A definição de cores érealizada de modo que ao detectar, por exemplo, altas temperaturas no local, sejam projeta-das cores mais frias, tentando aliviar assim a sensação térmica do usuário.JP 5-126392 describes a lighting system that detects both the temperature and humidity of a given location through sensors. A switch switch selects which of the two signals will be used in the site lighting process. The illumination is generated according to a pre-defined map associating temperature and humidity to a certain color, not allowing adjustments by the user. The color definition is performed so that when detecting, for example, high temperatures on the spot, the cooler colors are projected, thus trying to relieve the thermal sensation of the user.
Já o documento JP 2004-237891 sugere um sistema de iluminação que emite ilu-minação com cores quentes quando o ar condicionado está operando no modo de aqueci-mento e cores frias quando operando no modo de resfriamento, reforçando assim o efeito doaparelho condicionador de ar. As cores são ainda influenciadas pelo diferencial de tempera-tura entre a temperatura local e a temperatura ajustada no termostato. Adicionalmente, talvariação de cores ainda pode acontecer conforme a variação da velocidade do aparelhocondicionador de ar.JP 2004-237891 suggests a lighting system that emits warm color illumination when the air conditioner is operating in warm mode and cool color when operating in cooling mode, thus reinforcing the effect of the air conditioner. . Colors are further influenced by the temperature differential between the local temperature and the thermostat set temperature. Additionally, color variation may still occur depending on the speed of the air conditioner.

DESCRIÇÃO DETALHADA DAS MODALIDADES PREFERIDASA Figura 1 descreve o sistema de iluminação de ambiente 5 da presente invençãoque compreende um sensor 10 e um receptor 20 conectados a um microcontrolador 30 que,por sua vez, está conectado a um emissor 40, por meio de um gerador 60. Preferencialmen-te, o sensor 10 é um sensor de temperatura, o receptor em um receptor infravermelho e oemissor 40 é um diodo emissor de luz (LED). O usuário, ao comandar o aparelho condicio-nador de ar 50 para operar, emite um sinal ao receptor 20, ocasião em que o sensor 10 irádetectar a temperatura do local onde o aparelho está instalado. Ambos os sinais são envia-dos ao microcontrolador 30. O sinal emitido pelo receptor contém dados referentes à sele-ção de cor e brilho realizadas pelo usuário, seja selecionando cores e brilhos personaliza-dos, seja selecionando cor e brilho pré-definidos pelo fabricante do aparelho condicionadorde ar ou um determinado padrão de iluminação (cor / intensidade) como função do sinal emi-tido pelo sensor e/ou velocidade do ar do ventilador. O sinal emitido pelo sensor 10 contéminformação da temperatura ambiente do local onde o aparelho está instalado, conformemencionado anteriormente.DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Figure 1 depicts the ambient lighting system 5 of the present invention which comprises a sensor 10 and a receiver 20 connected to a microcontroller 30 which, in turn, is connected to a transmitter 40 by means of a generator 60 Preferably, the sensor 10 is a temperature sensor, the receiver in an infrared receiver and the emitter 40 is a light-emitting diode (LED). The user, when operating the air conditioner 50 to operate, sends a signal to the receiver 20, at which time the sensor 10 will detect the temperature of the place where the apparatus is installed. Both signals are sent to the microcontroller 30. The signal emitted by the receiver contains data regarding the color and brightness selection made by the user, either by selecting custom colors and brightness, or by selecting color and brightness set by the manufacturer. of the air conditioner or a certain illumination pattern (color / intensity) as a function of the signal emitted by the sensor and / or fan air speed. The signal from sensor 10 contains the ambient temperature information of the location where the device is installed, as previously mentioned.
Tais sinais são então convertidos pelo microcontrolador 30 em um sinal que é envi-ado ao gerador 60. O gerador processa o sinal, comparando-o com a seleção realizada pelousuário (personalizada ou não) e emite um sinal para o emissor 40 que se encarregará defornecer o retorno visual através da cor e brilho selecionados.Such signals are then converted by microcontroller 30 into a signal that is sent to generator 60. The generator processes the signal against the selection made by the user (custom or not) and outputs a signal to the transmitter 40 to be in charge. provide visual feedback through the selected color and brightness.
A Figura 2 ilustra uma primeira modalidade do sistema de iluminação de ambienteda presente invenção que possibilitam tanto a mudança de cor do ambiente bem como dopróprio aparelho condicionador de ar 50. Nesta modalidade, o aparelho condicionar de arpossui um painel frontal 70 de material translúcido. Dessa forma, a projeção da luz no painel70 iluminaria toda a parte frontal do aparelho, bem como o ambiente.Figure 2 illustrates a first embodiment of the ambient lighting system of the present invention which enables both the color change of the environment as well as the air conditioner 50 itself. In this embodiment, the air conditioner has a front panel 70 of translucent material. Thus, the projection of light on the panel70 would illuminate the entire front of the device, as well as the environment.
Já na Figura 3, que aborda uma segunda modalidade do aparelho condicionador dear 50, pode ser observado o painel frontal 70 apresentando material opaco em sua partefrontal e material translúcido em suas bordas 75. Ao invés de material opaco, o painel frontal70 pode apresentar ainda um anteparo adicional. Neste caso, a luz seria desviada para asbordas 75 do painel 70 bem como para o ambiente.Already in Figure 3, which deals with a second embodiment of the conditioner apparatus 50, the front panel 70 can be observed opaque material in its front and translucent material in its edges 75. Instead of opaque material, the front panel 70 may also have a additional bulkhead. In this case, the light would be diverted to the edges 75 of panel 70 as well as to the environment.
Em ambas as Figuras 2 e 3, as cores a serem aplicadas tanto ao aparelho quantoao ambiente podem ser faixas de cores e brilhos pré-definidas pelo fabricante, bem comofaixas definidas pelo usuário que se sobreporiam às definições do fabricante. Por exemplo,em uma alternativa, o usuário seleciona a temperatura de 18°C para operação do aparelho,sem alterar as definições de fábrica. Neste momento, o sensor de temperatura 10 irá detec-tar a temperatura do ambiente, por exemplo, 25°C. Ao iniciar o resfriamento do ambiente, oLED 40 irá realizar a iluminação com base na faixa de cores pré-definidas, alterando as co-res emitidas conforme o ambiente for resfriando, até alcançar a temperatura determinadapelo usuário de 18°C. O fabricante pode ter determinado uma cor azul para as temperaturasde 11 a 20°C e verde para 21 a 30°C e, dentro dessas faixas, a intensidade da cor azul everde é aumentada, tendo assim dez intensidades de azul e verde em cada faixa. O LED 40iria então apresentar cinco intensidades diferentes da cor verde e finalmente, três intensida-des de azul, até atingir assim a temperatura de 18°C.In both Figures 2 and 3, the colors to be applied to both the device and the environment can be manufacturer-defined color ranges and brightness, as well as user-defined ranges that would override the manufacturer's settings. For example, in an alternative, the user selects the temperature of 18 ° C for device operation without changing the factory settings. At this time, the temperature sensor 10 will detect the ambient temperature, for example 25 ° C. When initiating room cooling, the LED 40 will illuminate based on the preset color range, changing the emitted colors as the environment cools down to a user-set temperature of 18 ° C. The manufacturer may have determined a blue color for temperatures from 11 to 20 ° C and green for 21 to 30 ° C and within these ranges the intensity of the everde blue color is increased, thus having ten intensities of blue and green in each range. . The LED 40 would then have five different intensities of green color and finally three intensities of blue, thus reaching a temperature of 18 ° C.
Na eventualidade do usuário ter determinado as faixas de cores previamente, so-brescrevendo as do fabricante, o LED 40 variará as cores baseado nessa nova tabela decorrespondência de cores. Por exemplo, o usuário determinou que a faixa de temperaturade 11 a 30°C corresponderia à cor azul. Dessa forma, teríamos uma variação de vinte inten-sidades de azul e, dentro dessas, seriam apresentadas oito delas ao usuário. Aqui, deve-seficar claro que a quantidade de intensidade de determinada cor bem como a quantidade decores a serem emitidas pelo LED 40 são previamente definidas pelo fabricante com basenos componentes que este usa na fabricação do sistema. Componentes mais complexosforneceriam maior quantidade de cores e intensidades de cor.In the event that the user has previously determined the color ranges, overriding the manufacturer's, LED 40 will vary colors based on this new color matching table. For example, you determined that the temperature range 11 to 30 ° C would correspond to the color blue. Thus, we would have a variation of twenty intensities of blue and, within these, eight of them would be presented to the user. Here, it should be made clear that the amount of intensity of a given color as well as the amount of color to be emitted by LED 40 are previously defined by the manufacturer with the base components that it uses in the manufacture of the system. More complex components would provide more color and color intensities.
Fazendo referência agora às Figuras 4A a 4C, pode-se observar nas Figuras 4A e4B, o painel frontal 70 da primeira modalidade do sistema de iluminação de ambiente, ilus-trada na Figura 2. Na Figura 4A, o LED 40 é colocado por trás do painel 70, proporcionandoiluminação apenas na parte frontal do painel. Já na Figura 4B, o LED 40 é embutido no pai-nel 70, o que proporciona a iluminação do painel tanto em sua parte frontal quanto em suasbordas.Referring now to Figures 4A through 4C, it can be seen from Figures 4A and 4B, the front panel 70 of the first embodiment of the ambient lighting system shown in Figure 2. In Figure 4A, the LED 40 is placed behind. 70, providing illumination only on the front of the panel. Already in Figure 4B, LED 40 is embedded in panel 70, which provides illumination of the panel on both its front and its edges.
Por fim, a Figura 4C ilustra o LED 40 sendo embutido no painel frontal 70 que pos-sui um anteparo 80 aplicado em sua parte frontal. Esta configuração faz com que a ilumina-ção seja provida apenas nas bordas 75 do painel 70, uma vez que a luz encontra o anteparo80 e só tem como se dispersar pelas bordas do painel, por estas serem a única parte dopainel com material translúcido.Finally, Figure 4C illustrates LED 40 being embedded in the front panel 70 which has a screen 80 applied to its front. This configuration causes illumination to be provided only at the edges 75 of the panel 70, since the light meets the bulkhead80 and can only be dispersed around the edges of the panel as they are the only part of the panel with translucent material.
A intensidade da luz emitida pelo LED 40 pode ainda ser variada pelo chanfro daborda do painel frontal, tal como pode ser observado a partir das Figuras 5A a 5C, utilizan-do-se, por exemplo, a configuração ilustrada na Figura 4C.The intensity of the light emitted by LED 40 may further be varied by the chamfer on the front panel, as can be seen from Figures 5A to 5C, using, for example, the configuration illustrated in Figure 4C.
A variação do chanfro da borda do painel frontal que confere melhor intensidade deluz é a ilustrada na Figura 5B, seguida pela variação ilustrada na Figura 5A e, por fim, a va-riação da Figura 5C. É importante ressaltar que outras variações de chanfro podem ser pre-vistas e as variações apontadas pelas presentes figuras servem apenas como ilustração. Avariação da intensidade da luz é conferida pela alteração do ângulo de refração do materialtranslúcido para o ambiente.The variation of the bevel of the front panel edge giving the best light intensity is as shown in Figure 5B, followed by the variation shown in Figure 5A and, finally, the variation of Figure 5C. Importantly, other chamfer variations can be foreseen and the variations pointed out by the present figures are for illustration only. Light intensity damage is conferred by changing the refractive angle of the translucent material to the environment.
Exemplarmente, o material translúcido utilizado no painel frontal pode ser qualquerpolímero transparente tipo acrílico ou outro material termoplástico rígido e transparente oualgum tipo de vidro, dentre outros. Já o material opaco pode ser aço escovado, acabamentoespelhado, um polímero opaco, dentre outros.Apesar de a descrição acima se referir a modalidades preferidas, deve ser entendi-do por aqueles versados na técnica que a presente invenção não está limitada aos detalhesdos ensinamentos acima.For example, the translucent material used on the front panel may be any clear acrylic type polymer or other rigid and transparent thermoplastic material or some type of glass, among others. The opaque material can be brushed steel, mirror finish, an opaque polymer, among others. Although the above description refers to preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above teachings. .
A Figura 6 é um fluxograma que descreve um método exemplificativo de iluminaçãode ambiente utilizando o sistema da presente invenção.Figure 6 is a flow chart depicting an exemplary method of ambient lighting using the system of the present invention.
Primeiramente, na etapa 100 o usuário irá definir se usará as configurações detemperatura x cor pré-definidas pelo fabricante. Em caso negativo, prosseguirá para etapa110 para definir as configurações que sobreporão as configurações de fábrica. Em seguida,na etapa 120, o usuário comanda a operação do aparelho condicionador de ar para umatemperatura de seu desejo, quando o sensor detectará a temperatura do ambiente, por e-xemplo, para comparação posterior. Na etapa 130, os dados da temperatura ambiente e datemperatura desejada são enviados ao gerador e, em seguida, o gerador faz a comparaçãodos dados (etapa 140) para definir qual cor o dispositivo emissor deverá exibir (etapa 150).First, in step 100 the user will define whether to use the temperature x color settings predefined by the manufacturer. If not, proceed to step 110 to configure the settings that will override the factory settings. Then, in step 120, the user commands the operation of the air conditioner to a desired temperature, when the sensor will detect the ambient temperature, for example, for later comparison. In step 130, the ambient temperature and desired temperature data are sent to the generator, and then the generator compares the data (step 140) to define which color the emitting device should display (step 150).
Após definir a cor inicial a ser exibida, o sistema prossegue para a etapa 160, onde ocorreráa variação da cor e intensidade/brilho de acordo com o aumento/diminuição da temperatura.After setting the initial color to be displayed, the system proceeds to step 160, where the color and intensity / brightness variation will occur as the temperature rises / decreases.
