Benefits of technology

The technical effects of this patent text are to provide better system and methods for drapery track systems that will address previous problems.

Problems solved by technology

Some of these features have customizable values with a very limited range options.
Further, there are times when a user may want to quickly manually move just a little fabric, and this might trigger the unintentional motorized action.

Abstract

A method for controlling a drapery assembly is disclosed that opens and close a drape based on low and high touch sensitivity signature values that are established manually by the user. The method comprises pressing at least one button to initiate setting low touch sensitivity value; detecting a first manual movement of the drape; determining a first number of ticks using an encoder associated with the first manual movement; determining a low end user sensitivity signature value by calculating the average first number of ticks of the encoder; pressing at least one another button to initiate setting high touch sensitivity value; detecting a second manual movement of the drape; determining a second number of ticks using the encoder associated with the second manual movement; and determining a high end user sensitivity signature value by calculating the average first number of ticks of the encoder over the first time period.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONTechnical Field[0001]Aspects of the embodiments relate generally to drapery track systems, and more specifically to system and method for controlling a motorized drapery track assembly.Background Art[0002]Drapery track systems for use to cover openings or fixtures in residential and commercial settings have made significant improvements in recent years. A drapery track system typically consists of a track, track carriers, drape attached to the track carriers, and a mechanism for moving the drape back and forth along the track. The track is mounted either to a wall or ceiling and the mechanism for moving the drape can be as simple as a pull cord-pulley system.[0003]More sophisticated drapery track systems use a motor to move the drape along the track. Motorized drapery track systems can be automated to automatically open and close. Unlike a manually controlled drapery system, where the user walks up to the window and opens or closes the drape using a cord, ...
