DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0021] The present invention provides a collaborative monitoring smart window, comprising a window frame 1 and a glass 2 embedded in the window frame 1, wherein the window frame 1 is provided with an energy collection management unit for collecting energy and realizing energy management; An information collection unit 4 is provided in conjunction with the window frame 1 and / or the glass 2 for collecting composite information; A controller is provided in conjunction with the energy collection management unit and the information collection unit 4, and the controller performs collaborative monitoring management based on composite information.

[0022] In the present invention, the structure of the window frame 1 and the glass 2 arranged therein is maintained, and the window frame 1 as a rigid part is used to carry the energy collection management unit. In practical applications, considering the application scenarios of windows, energy generally refers to solar energy, that is, the energy collection management unit is used to realize the reception, conversion and utilization of solar energy; at the same time, the rigid characteristics of the window frame 1 and the light transmittance and thinness characteristics of the glass 2 are used to configure the information collection unit 4 to collect composite information of different dimensions, including but not limited to environmental information and human body information in the embodiment of the present invention, and then the environmental characteristics and human body characteristics are fitted by the controller, and finally the collaborative monitoring management is performed based on these composite information, and the management actually includes but is not limited to: adjusting the indoor environment based on outdoor environmental characteristics and / or differences in indoor and outdoor environmental characteristics; Adjust the indoor environment based on the characteristics of the indoor and outdoor environments and human body characteristics; Based on the matching degree between human body characteristics and indoor and outdoor environments, it provides physiological data tracking of various dimensions of the human body and takes reasonable measures for problems that arise during the tracking process.

[0023] The present invention ultimately builds an effective connection among buildings, environment and people.

[0024] The energy collection management unit includes a solar cell 3 disposed on the outer side of the window frame 1, and an energy management module is provided in conjunction with the solar cell 3; the energy management module is arranged in conjunction with a controller.

[0025] A power-saving switch is provided in conjunction with the energy management module and the controller; the controller configures a communication strategy, obtains current communication power consumption at a preset frequency based on the communication strategy, and configures a transmission strategy based on the current communication power consumption.

[0026] In the present invention, the outer side of the window frame 1 refers to the side of the window frame 1 facing the outside. In fact, it is on the window frame 1 on the side of the glass 2 facing the outside. Considering the angle of sunlight, it is generally arranged at different heights and angles of the window frame 1 in the form of flexible solar cells 3. Efficiently collect solar energy to provide sustainable energy for other components of the smart window, saving building energy consumption; In practical applications, a placement groove for disassembling and maintaining the solar cell 3 is generally provided on the window frame 1 .

[0027] In the present invention, the energy management module is used to convert and store electricity after the solar cell 3 receives sunlight. When the energy management module has sufficient storage capacity, the power-saving switch between the energy management module and the controller is closed, and the solar cell 3 is used to generate electricity to drive the operation of the information collection unit 4 and the controller. When the energy management module has insufficient storage capacity, a power switching instruction is sent to the controller, and the power-saving switch is turned on after the controller switches the power source.

[0028] In the present invention, the controller works with not only electrical connection but also communication connection, generally adopting low-power wireless communication methods such as Zigbee, RoLa, BLE, etc. The implementation of the communication strategy also needs to consider the balance between the amount of information and power consumption to prevent possible transmission interruption. Therefore, the current communication power consumption is obtained according to the preset frequency (transmission frequency) of the communication strategy, and the transmission strategy is configured based on the current communication power consumption, such as segmented transmission, batch transmission or data with lower real-time requirements can be stored first, and the data will be transmitted outward after accumulating to the threshold. Under normal circumstances, the controller and the RF transmitter are in silent mode and work with extremely low power consumption.

[0029] During the implementation of the present invention, the effective connection among buildings, environment and human beings is taken into consideration, so the information collection unit 4 is configured as an environment information monitoring module and a human body information monitoring module to collect environment information and human body information respectively.

[0030] This means that in addition to effectively collecting solar energy, providing sustainable energy for the information collection unit 4 and other electrical equipment in the building, and maximizing the utilization of energy, the smart window of the present invention monitors indoor and outdoor environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and air quality through the information collection unit 4, and integrates sensing functions to monitor human health information such as body temperature, electrocardiogram, blood oxygen, etc. by touching the designated position of the window. The information can be transmitted to the back-end data platform for analysis, and the management of the indoor environment can be optimized and the human body condition can be predicted.
