Conference room environment regulation and control method and system, medium and product

The invention provides a conference room environment regulation and control method and system, a medium and a product. In the method, an environment regulation and control system firstly determines a target temperature according to an external environment temperature, and then carries out temperature regulation and control in advance in combination with reservation time. When the conference is carried out, the environment regulation and control system carries out targeted monitoring on the temperature of different areas by dividing the air outlet area and the non-air outlet area in the conference room, and it is ensured that the temperature imbalance phenomenon is found in time. When the regional temperature difference between the air outlet region and the non-air outlet region reaches a temperature difference threshold value, the environment regulation and control system determines the regulation sequence according to the number of people in the region and the regional temperature difference, and it is ensured that resources are preferentially used for the region with the larger influence. And finally, the environment regulation and control system calculates the air volume and the air direction by combining the space parameters of the to-be-regulated area and regulates and controls the air volume and the air direction in sequence, so that the temperature of each area synergistically approaches a target value. According to the method, the temperature difference of different positions of the conference room is effectively relieved, and the balance and comfort of the whole environment are improved.

Dynamic bandwidth expansion activation and termination operation

Signal mechanisms are described for performing dynamic bandwidth expansion (DBE) at an access point (AP). In one embodiment, the AP and stations (STAs) exchange signals indicating their respective DBE capabilities (e.g., whether DBE is supported, maximum dynamic BW, etc.). Later, the AP (or a network controller) can determine to perform DBE. For example, the load on the AP may jump because the AP is located in a conference room or an event center. To provide additional BW, the AP (or RRM) can determine to perform DBE to increase the bandwidth available to the AP. To do so, the AP transmits a DBE announcement to inform the STAs. This announcement can include information such as bandwidth, center frequency, whether a subchannel is punctured, etc.). The AP and STAs can then use the expanded bandwidth.
