Embodiment Construction

[0045] In FIG. 1 , an exemplary prior art timer 10 (which may also be referred to as an electrical control, power supply timer or mains timer) is shown which is plugged into a power supply in the wall 14 of the facility. Point 12 (also known as power outlet, general power outlet, or GPO). The power point (as a type of electrical socket arrangement) may have a manual switch to turn the power supply through the power point on and off. However, it will be appreciated that in some embodiments the power point may not have such a manual switch, and that power will typically be supplied by simply plugging the device into the power point (if no timer is being used), and typically Stop the power supply by unplugging the device from the power point. An electrical device, in this example a computer 16 , is plugged into the timer 10 via a power cord 24 and a plug 26 , and the computer is connected to a graphic display 18 and a keyboard 20 . A user 22 is shown operating a computer.

Abstract

An electrical power supply continuity module for an electrical power supply timer operable with an electrical outlet device, the electrical power supply timer having at least one scheduled switch offperiod for stopping electrical power supply through the electrical outlet device, the electrical power supply continuity module operable with a sensor for sensing electrical power supplied to an electrical apparatus by the electrical outlet device, wherein the electrical power supply continuity module is operable to receive from the sensor an indication of electrical power supply to an electricalapparatus at a chosen time before a scheduled switch off period of the electrical power supply timer, the continuity module operable to override at least part of the scheduled switch off period such that electrical power is supplied during at least part of the scheduled switch off period.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to components and methods for continuing to provide power to electrical equipment. The invention is particularly applicable to devices, systems and methods for timed control of power supply. Background technique [0002] Electricity is expensive to generate and for consumers to purchase. Electricity can be produced by polluting methods, such as burning coal, or by dangerous methods such as nuclear fission. Therefore, it is desirable to reduce the amount of electricity consumed in order to reduce production costs and consumer costs, and to reduce pollution. [0003] One way to reduce power consumption is to use a timer that is set to automatically turn on and off the power supply to an electrical device such as a lamp, television or any other such device. A timer (which may also be referred to as an electrical control, power supply timer or power supply timer) may be set to one or more periods of power supply on and off ...
