Patent 10935265 was granted and assigned to Carrier Corporation on March, 2021 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A biometric air conditioning control system includes a local electronic device, an ambient air parameter sensor, a mobile device, a storage medium, and a processor. The electronic device is located in an area and includes a transceiver and a near field communication device configured to broadcast a beacon signal via the transceiver. The parameter sensor is configured to measure and output measured air parameter information. The mobile device includes a human interface device, a transceiver configured to receive the beacon signal, a biometrics sensor configured to output a measured biometric information of the occupant relative to occupant comfort. The storage medium stores thermal profile matrix data, authentication data associated with the beacon signal, and a software-based application. The processor executes the application using the profile matrix data, the authentication data, occupant comfort level information inputted by the occupant via the HID, the biometric information, and the air parameter information.
