Description

DISPOSITIVO DE RECONHECIMENTO TÁTIL DIGITAL PARA ACIONAMENTO E CONTROLE DE CIRCUITOS EM GERAL BREVE SUMÁRIO  DIGITAL TOUCH RECOGNITION DEVICE FOR DRIVING AND CONTROL OF CIRCUITS IN GENERAL BRIEF SUMMARY
[0001 ] Trata a presente solicitação de Patente de Invenção de um DISPOSITIVO DE RECONHECIMENTO TÁTIL DIGITAL PARA ACIONAMENTO E CONTROLE DE CIRCUITOS EM GERAL, particularmente de um dispositivo modular cuja a construtividade possibilita sua fixação em paredes, móveis ou caixas, tal qual fosse um interruptor, sendo o mesmo constituído por quatro partes, que em conjunto funcionam como uma interface capaz de, pela variação do campo elétrico, acionar circuitos elétricos ou o resultado do mesmo ser usado em comandos e automação via toques, gestos ou escrita no referido dispositivo.  This patent application is for a DIGITAL TOUCH RECOGNITION DEVICE FOR DRIVING AND CONTROL OF GENERAL CIRCUITS, particularly a modular device whose constructiveness enables it to be fixed to walls, furniture or enclosures such as a switch. It is made up of four parts, which together act as an interface capable of, by varying the electric field, triggering electrical circuits or the result thereof being used in commands and automation via touch, gesture or writing on said device.
CAMPO DA INVENÇÃO FIELD OF INVENTION
[0002] A presente invenção tem como campo de aplicação o segmento eletroeletrônico, mais especificamente no que tange ao acionamento de circuitos elétricos e interfaces de operação, como, por exemplo, iluminação, automação e interfaces com outros equipamentos.  [0002] The present invention has as its field of application the electro-electronic segment, specifically with regard to the activation of electrical circuits and operating interfaces, such as lighting, automation and interfaces with other equipment.
ESTADO DA TÉCNICA TECHNICAL STATE
[0003] Atualmente, no acionamento de circuitos elétricos são muito utilizados os interruptores ou então no acionamento e controle dos mesmos, as adaptações realizadas em equipamentos baseados em microcomputadores, smartphones, tablets ou outros processadores com interfaces gráficas, que também reconhecem comandos.  [0003] Currently, in the activation of electrical circuits the switches are widely used or in the activation and control of the same, the adaptations made in equipment based on microcomputers, smartphones, tablets or other processors with graphic interfaces, which also recognize commands.
[0004] Os interruptores elétricos são componentes de atuação manual e individualizada. São totalmente dependentes de uma infraestrutura de eletrodutos e cabos elétricos, além de terem uma limitação de no máximo seis atuadores por caixa de passagem (4x4). Outros inconvenientes como a falta de funcionalidade e o aspecto visual, de certo modo precário, também podem ser atribuídos a este tipo de solução.  [0004] Electrical switches are individually and manually actuated components. They are totally dependent on an electrical conduit and cable infrastructure, and have a maximum limit of six actuators per junction box (4x4). Other drawbacks such as lack of functionality and somewhat precarious visual appearance can also be attributed to this type of solution.
[0005] O atual estado da técnica antecipa alguns documentos de patentes que versam sobre melhorias em interruptores, como o PI 1 100287-5 que trata de um dispositivo de tempo aplicado no interruptor tipo liga/ desliga para elementos de iluminação embarcado em sistema de automação residencial. Este dispositivo permite ao usuário definir um tempo mínimo para o apagamento da luz e ainda definir um set up de tempos arbitrários. [0005] The current state of the art anticipates some patent documents dealing with switch improvements, such as PI 1 100287-5 which deals with a time device applied to the on / off switch for onboard lighting elements in the automation system. residential. This device allows the user to set a minimum light off time and set up arbitrary times.
[0006] Apesar de bem desempenhar a função para a qual foi projetado, a solução acima é aplicada diretamente no interruptor, ainda necessitando de toda a infraestrutura de cabo e eletroduto, o que o presente pedido não requer.  Although well performing the function for which it was designed, the above solution is applied directly to the switch, still requiring the entire cable and conduit infrastructure, which the present application does not require.
[0007] O PI 0702074-0 revela um sistema de automação de iluminação aplicado em cenário de luzes através de módulo gerenciador sem fio. Compreende um módulo de controle de iluminação instalado em paralelo com o sistema convencional, sendo composto de um módulo gerenciador que equivale a um interruptor eletrônico sem fio e um módulo receptor / transmissor de sinal. O presente sistema permite ao usuário variar a intensidade da luz de cada circuito apenas com um toque de botão. PI 0702074-0 discloses a lighting automation system applied to a lighting scenario via a wireless manager module. It comprises a lighting control module installed in parallel with the conventional system, consisting of a management module that is equivalent to a wireless electronic switch and a receiver / signal transmitter module. The present system allows the user to vary the light intensity of each circuit at the touch of a button.
[0008] O sistema explanado na anterioridade acima, ainda utiliza a figura do botão do interruptor para efetivar o comando da intensidade de luz, ao contrário do pedido ora reivindicado que utiliza a variação do campo elétrico. [0008] The system explained above, still utilizes the switch button figure to effect light intensity control, contrary to the claimed claim that utilizes electric field variation.
[0009] Por sua vez, os smartphones e tablets são equipamentos genéricos desenvolvidos para diversas aplicações, podendo incluir também o comando e atuação de circuitos. No entanto, exigem adaptações quando aplicados em interfaces fixas e têm uma estrutura "pesada" com sistema operacional e tela gráfica, o que torna o seu uso específico para o comando de circuitos um tanto custoso, não sendo esta uma solução prática e viável.  In turn, smartphones and tablets are generic equipment developed for various applications, and may also include the control and actuation of circuits. However, they require adaptations when applied to fixed interfaces and have a "heavy" structure with operating system and graphic display, which makes their specific use for circuit control rather expensive, and this is not a practical and viable solution.
OBJETIVOS DA INVENÇÃO OBJECTIVES OF THE INVENTION
[0010] É, objetivo da presente invenção propor um dispositivo de reconhecimento de toques, gestos e escritas em uma superfície sensível, o qual é passível de ser fixado em paredes, painéis, caixas ou móveis para atuação e comandos de circuitos elétricos diversos.  [0010] It is the object of the present invention to propose a touch, gesture and handwriting recognition device on a sensitive surface which can be attached to walls, panels, boxes or furniture for actuation and control of various electrical circuits.
[001 1 ] É objetivo da invenção aplicar o conceito da variação do campo elétrico para detectar os toques, gestos e escritas e o resultado do processamento das informações serem enviadas via comunicação serial a outros dispositivos que farão atuação, comando e automação dos circuitos.  [001 1] It is an object of the invention to apply the concept of electric field variation to detect touch, gesture and writing and the result of information processing being sent via serial communication to other devices that will perform actuation, command and automation of the circuits.
[0012] É objetivo da presente invenção propor uma alternativa aos dispositivos genéricos (smartphones e tablets) usados para atuação, comando e automação dos circuitos. O dispositivo não tem uma estrutura pesada (sistema operacional e tela gráfica) tornando-o viável para esta aplicação. DA INVENÇÃO It is the object of the present invention to propose an alternative to generic devices (smartphones and tablets) used for actuation, control and circuit automation. The device does not have a heavy structure (operating system and graphic display) making it viable for this application. OF THE INVENTION
[0013] O conceito da variação do campo elétrico já é amplamente utilizado para as mais variadas finalidades. O mais comum é para a detecção de objetos. Conhecidos como sensores capacitivos, basicamente são dois eletrodos (positivo e negativo) que formam o campo elétrico. A variação desse campo elétrico provoca alterações de tensões e frequência em pontos específicos no circuito eletrônico. Por conseguinte, essas variações caracterizam a presença da peça. Alguns fabricantes de componentes eletrônicos possuem modelos capazes de mediar analogicamente o campo elétrico.  [0013] The concept of electric field variation is already widely used for a variety of purposes. The most common is for object detection. Known as capacitive sensors, it is basically two electrodes (positive and negative) that form the electric field. The variation of this electric field causes changes in voltage and frequency at specific points in the electronic circuit. Therefore, these variations characterize the presence of the piece. Some electronics manufacturers have models capable of analogously measuring the electric field.
[0014] A inovação está na aplicação desses componentes em uma matriz de eletrodos de forma a obter uma área de campo elétrico (X, Y e Z) de modo que a variação de parte dessa área seja medida. Com os valores medidos e o processamento dos dados obtém-se a identificação do movimento do objeto nas coordenadas X, Y e Z. O sentido, formato, direção e distância são dados de base para a identificação do movimento. A análise então é feita baseada em algoritmos executados por um microcontrolador. Essa informação é disponibilizada para outros subsistemas, integrados ou não, que executarão ações, tais como: liga/ desliga; alteração de valores (variação de intensidade da luz ou temperatura do ar condicionado) ou informação do movimento para equipamentos externos, etc. Tudo isso por meio de quatro partes sobrepostas.  [0014] The innovation is in the application of these components in an electrode array to obtain an electric field area (X, Y and Z) so that the variation of part of this area is measured. Measured values and data processing identify the movement of the object in the X, Y and Z coordinates. Direction, shape, direction and distance are the basic data for movement identification. The analysis is then made based on algorithms executed by a microcontroller. This information is made available to other subsystems, integrated or not, that will perform actions such as: on / off; change of values (variation of light intensity or temperature of the air conditioner) or movement information for external equipment, etc. All this through four overlapping parts.
VANTAGENS DA INVENÇÃO ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION
[0015] Em suma, a invenção aqui reivindicada apresenta como vantagens mais preponderantes:  In summary, the invention claimed herein has the most predominant advantages:
■ Reconhecimento direto do toque, gesto ou escrita sem necessidade de interfaces gráficas e sistemas operacionais comuns aos smartphones e tablets; ■ Direct recognition of touch, gesture or writing without the need for graphical interfaces and operating systems common to smartphones and tablets;
