Patent attributes
The present invention relates to the management of devices (AP1, AP2, AP3) connected to an equipment item (EQ) in an environment (ENV). The equipment item receives and interprets signals from the environment (S1, S2, S3) and, based on an interpretation of the signals, transmits adjustment instructions (C1, C2, C3) to the devices. In particular, there is provided a sound sensor (ANT) connected to the equipment item (EQ), and one or more mechanical members (OM1, OM2) which when actuated for the purpose of adjusting at least one of the devices, causes the emission of a characteristic sound (S1, S2). The equipment item, upon receiving these sound signals from the environment, compares each sound signal to acoustic signatures predefined in a correlation table (TAB) which lists adjustment instructions (C1, C2, . . . ) according to these acoustic signatures (S1, S2; S1, S3, S4; . . . ) and transmits an adjustment instruction for a device based on at least one acoustic signature of the table, recognized in the received sound signals.
