Abstract

A thermostat includes a front housing, a rear housing interoperably coupled to the front housing, at least one sensor integrated with the front housing, a display integrated with the front housing, and processing circuitry interoperably coupled to the at least one sensor and the display. The processing circuitry is configured to periodically activate the at least one sensor, receive data from the at least one sensor and determine, from the received data, whether movement has occurred. Responsive to a determination that the movement has occurred, determine whether the movement is by a human and responsive to a determination that the movement was not by the human, adjust display attributes.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This Application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application 62 / 104,900 filed on Jan. 19, 2015. U.S. Provisional Application 62 / 104,900 is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Technical Field[0003]The present invention relates generally to devices configured to regulate operation of one or more of mechanical, electrical, and electronic systems in relation to temperature and, more particularly, but not by way of limitation, to programmable intelligent thermostats having an easy-to-use intuitive user interface for controlling operation of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.[0004]2. History of Related Art[0005]A thermostat is generally considered to be a device that regulates operation of mechanical, electrical, or electronic systems in relation to temperature. Thermostats are particularly prevalent in heating / cooling systems to deliver a set temperature result. A traditional thermostat display ty...
