用户控制装置可以配备有各种传感器(例如，温度、湿度、空气品质、接近度、光、振动、运动、光学、音频、占用、电力、安全等)中的一个或多个传感器，所述传感器被配置用于感测用户控制装置安装于其中的环境的可变状态或条件。用户控制装置可以包括被配置用于促进用户与用户控制装置进行交互的各种用户接口设备(例如，触敏面板、电子显示器、扬声器、触觉反馈、麦克风、环境照明等)。用户控制装置可以包括被配置用于促进用户控制装置与远程传感器单元、建筑物自动化系统、家庭自动化系统、HVAC设备、移动装置(例如，经由WiFi、蓝牙、NFC、LTE、LAA LTE等)、通信网络(例如，LAN、WAN、802.11、互联网、蜂窝网等)、和/或用户控制装置可以连接至的任何其他系统或装置之间的通信的数据通信接口。
用户控制装置可以被配置用于充当连网智能中枢。例如，用户控制装置可以被配置用于从用户接收语音命令，并且响应于所述语音命令而控制连网设备。用户控制装置可以被配置用于连接至移动装置(例如，用户的电话、平板计算机、膝上型计算机等)或其他网络装置(例如台式电脑)以允许远程监测并控制连网系统。用户控制装置可以被配置用于检测用户控制装置安装于其中的房间或空间的占用情况，并且可以执行各种基于占用情况的控制过程。用户控制装置可以监测连网设备(例如，HVAC设备)的性能，并且可以基于从HVAC设备接收到的数据来执行诊断。
用户控制装置可以充当无线通信中枢(例如，无线路由器、接入点等)并且可以被配置用于在各种系统和装置之间桥接通信。例如，用户控制装置可以包括蜂窝通信收发器、调制解调器、以太网收发器、或者被配置用于与外部通信网络(例如，蜂窝网络、WAN、互联网等)进行通信的其他通信硬件。用户控制装置可以包括被配置用于与附近移动装置进行通信的WiFi收发器。用户控制装置可以被配置用于在移动装置与外部通信网络之间桥接通信。这种功能允许用户控制装置取代建筑物或车辆中的联网设备(例如，调制解调器、无线路由器等)并且提供互联网连接。例如，用户控制装置可以充当建筑物或车辆中的WiFi热点或微蜂窝，并且可以经由集成以太网收发器、蜂窝收发器(例如，针对互联网服务提供商不提供服务的位置)、同轴电缆、或其他数据通信硬件与互联网进行通信。
用户控制装置可以接收来自天气服务的天气预报以及恶劣天气警报。用户控制装置可以具有环境照明部件，所述环境照明部件发射指定光色或图案以用于指示严重的天气警报或其他警报。用户控制装置还可以从公共设施提供商接收公共设施费率信息。用户控制装置可以使用天气预报连同公共设施费率信息来优化(例如，最小化)家庭或建筑物的能耗。在一些实施例中，用户控制装置生成公共设施账单预测并推荐设定值修改以降低能耗或能源费。在一些实施例中，用户控制装置从远程系统接收其他家庭/建筑物的能耗信息，并且将所连接的HVAC设备的能耗与所述其他家庭/建筑物的能耗进行比较。
图1至18展示了根据示例性实施例的一种多功能用户控制装置或恒温器100。恒温器100被配置为安装在墙壁(例如住宅、家庭、建筑物等内的竖直墙)或其他合适的安装位置(例如，壁架、控制面板、或建筑物空间内的物体的其他表面、家具、仪表盘、车座、或其他车辆表面等)上。
如图14中所示出的，恒温器100包括外壳102、触敏显示器104、用于显示器104的保护盖106、面板或前盖108、背板或安装板或托架110、一个或多个电路板(示出为电路板112和电路板114)、传感器透镜或窗口116、以及覆盖外壳102的一部分的模具或顶盖118。除了安装板110和任何紧固件或用于将所述安装板固定至安装位置的其他部件之外，恒温器100的组装部件被称为“恒温器本体”。
如图5和图8中所示出的，外壳102包括基部或主要部分120以及从基部120的前面延伸的悬伸板或显示器安装件122。基部120限定了电路板112和114定位于其中的凹座或容积124。容积124由前壁126、两个侧壁128和130、顶壁132以及底壁134限定，并且当恒温器本体被附接至安装板110时，所述容积通过安装板110闭合。前壁126将顶壁132连接至底壁134。两个侧壁128和130将顶壁132连接至底壁134。底壁134从竖直前壁126以大约45度的角度向下成角。在其他实施例中，所述角度更大或者更小(例如，在30度与60度之间)。在其他实施例中，底壁或底壁的一部分是弯曲的。在其他实施例中，外壳102的基部120的横截面基本上是方形或矩形。在其他实施例中，前壁被省略并且成角的或弯曲的底壁直接连接至顶壁(例如，导致外壳的横截面为三角形)。在一些实施例中，前壁被省略并且容积124向基部120的前面开放，从而允许正面进入基部120的内部。
如图8中所示出的，基部120的顶壁132具有两个区段136和138，其中区段138从区段136处下凹(例如，更薄，具有更小的竖直尺寸，具有更小的高度等)。区段138接收顶盖118的一部分以使得顶盖118的顶表面与如图8中示出的顶壁132的区段136的顶表面齐平。
如图8和图12中所示出的，前壁126的一部分延伸经过顶壁132以形成显示器安装件122(背板、安装板)。显示器安装件122从基部120悬伸。显示器安装件122提供了用于将显示器104附接至外壳102的安装表面142。显示器安装件122具有：高度144(从顶壁132的顶表面至顶端或自由端145测量而得，所述顶表面在所展示的实施例中为区段136的顶表面)；从第一侧或左侧148至第二侧或右侧150测得的宽度146；以及从前表面或安装表面142至后表面或背表面152测得的厚度148。安装表面142与前壁126的形成基部120的所述部分的前表面间隔开或者从所述前表面下凹达厚度149，以形成壁架151用于支撑触敏显示器104和保护盖106的底部边缘。厚度149与触敏显示器104的厚度相同，使得壁架151支撑显示器104的底部。
如所展示的，显示器安装件122从基部120以悬伸的方式向上延伸，使得显示器安装件122位于在恒温器的正常操作位置中的基部的上方。在替代性实施例中，显示器安装件从基部以悬伸的方式向下延伸，使得显示器安装件位于在恒温器的正常操作位置中的基部的下方。
显示器安装件122可以被配置为宽度146大于高度144(如图1至18中示出的)的横向显示器、为宽度146小于高度144(如图26至28中示出的)的纵向显示器、或者为宽度146等于高度144的正方形显示器。顶壁132的顶表面与显示器安装件122的顶侧145彼此平行。左侧148与右侧150彼此平行。安装表面142与背表面152彼此平行。顶侧145垂直于左侧148和右侧150。在一些实施例中，显示器安装件122被安排成其四条边并非以矩形或正方形来安排(例如，平行四边形、棱形、梯形等)，其形状具有比四条更多或更少的边(例如，三边形、五边形、六边形等)，如圆形、如椭圆形或椭圆、或适合于安装显示器的其他形状。
如图8、图10和图13中所示出的，外壳102的基部120的后部面或背部面154由顶壁132、侧壁128和130、以及底壁134的与前壁126相反地定位的末端来限定。后部面154被竖直安排并且是平坦的以便帮助将恒温器本体安装至竖直墙。如图8中示出的，显示器安装件122的背表面152与基部120的后部面154间隔一段水平距离156。如所展示的，水平距离156在显示器安装件的高度144上是恒定的，使得显示器安装件122的背表面152平行于基部120的后部面154。显示器安装件122的安装表面142垂直于顶壁132的顶表面。显示器安装件122的背表面152垂直于顶壁132的顶表面。在其他实施例中，水平距离156可以从所述基部的顶壁132至显示器安装件122的顶侧145减小，使得显示器安装件122朝墙壁成角。在其他实施例中，水平距离156可以从所述基部的顶壁132至显示器安装件122的顶侧145增大，使得显示器安装件122远离墙壁成角。如所展示的，显示器安装件122是前壁126至独立式顶端145的一部分(即从顶壁132的顶表面向上延伸的部分)。在其他实施例中，显示器安装件122是与前壁126分离的结构。如所展示的，显示器安装件122定位于基部120的前面，使得安装表面142和前壁126的前表面共平面。在其他实施例中，显示器安装件122设置于基部120的前面与基部120的后部面154之间，但是与后部面154间隔开水平距离156(即显示器安装件122的背表面152不与基部120的后部面154共平面)。
如图8中所示出的，触敏显示器104被附接至(例如通过粘合剂或其他适合的固定技术)显示器安装件122的安装表面142。保护盖106被附接至显示器104的前表面上用于保护显示器104免受影响和其他损害。保护盖106是透明的以便不减弱触敏显示器104的显示功能。在一些实施例中，保护盖106被省略。在其他实施例中，所述保护盖是显示器104的整体部件。
如在图8和图14中所示出的，在展示的实施例中，外壳102是包括基部120和显示器安装件122两者的单一整体形成部件。将外壳102形成为单一整体构成部件帮助恒温器100耐受当用户按压触敏显示器屏幕104时绕显示器安装件122与基部120之间的连接点施加的力矩。显示器安装件122相对大的厚度148也帮助耐受此力矩。
如在图8和图14中所示出的，触敏显示器104可以是触摸屏或者被配置用于将信息以视觉格式(例如，作为文本、图形等)呈现给用户并从用户接收输入(例如，经由触敏面板)的其他类型的电子显示器。例如，触敏显示器104可以包括在电子视觉显示器上分层的触敏面板。用户可以借助于简单或多点触摸姿势通过用一个或多个手指和/或触针/笔触摸显示器104来提供输入。触敏显示器104可以使用各种触敏技术(如电容式感测(例如，表面电容、投射式电容、互电容、自电容等)、电阻式感测、表面声波、红外格栅、红外丙烯酸投影、光学成像、色散信号技术、声学脉冲识别或本领域已知的其他触敏技术)中的任何一项技术来接收用户输入。这些技术中的许多技术允许显示器104的多点触摸响应性，所述多点触摸响应性允许一次性登记在两个或甚至更多个位置中的触摸。显示器可以使用各种显示技术(如发光二极管(LED)、有机发光二极管(OLED)、液晶显示器(LCD)、有机发光晶体管(OLET)、表面传导电子发射显示器(SED)、场发射显示器(FED)、数字光处理(DLP)、硅基液晶(LCoC)或本领域已知的任何其他显示技术)中的任何显示技术。在一些实施例中，触敏显示器104被配置用于在不需要背光的情况下呈现视觉媒体(例如，文本、图形等)。
如在图14中所示出的，触敏显示器104、保护盖106和显示器安装件122(统称为“显示器组件”)不是遮光的，这样允许操作或观察恒温器100的用户通过显示组件看到显示组件后面的表面。在省略了保护盖106或保护盖是触敏显示器104的整体部件的实施例中，“显示组件”由触敏显示器104和显示器安装件122组成。不遮光意味着至少一些可见光能够穿过所述部件并且包括透明部件和半透明部件。例如，当恒温器100安装在墙壁上时，通过显示组件可看到墙壁。这样允许恒温器在不使用时(例如，当触摸屏显示器上没有显示视觉媒体时)融合到其周围环境中。在所展示的实施例中，整个外壳102不是遮光的。在其他实施例中，只有外壳的显示器安装件122部分不是遮光的。外壳102可以由各种材料(例如，包括丙烯酸树脂的聚合物、金属、复合材料、层压材料等)形成。
如图8和图14中所示出的，外壳102可以包含各种电子部件，包括：一个或多个传感器，被配置用于执行控制功能的部件(例如，电路板、处理电路、存储器、处理器等)，被配置用于利于通信的部件(例如，WiFi收发器、蜂窝收发器、通信接口等)，以及被配置用于经由触敏显示器104提供视觉显示的组件(例如，视频卡或模块等)。
传感器可以包括温度传感器、湿度传感器、运动或占用传感器(例如，被动式红外传感器)、空气质量传感器(例如，一氧化碳、二氧化碳、过敏原、烟雾等)、接近度传感器(例如，用于检测人和/或NFC、RFID、蓝牙的存在的热电堆能量计，用于检测移动装置的存在的传感器等)、相机、麦克风、光传感器、振动传感器或任何其他类型的被配置用于测量恒温器100安装在其中的环境的可变状态或条件的传感器。在一些实施例中，接近度传感器用于：在用户靠近恒温器100时开启显示器104以呈现视觉媒体；并且在用户未靠近恒温器100时关掉显示器104，从而导致更少的电力使用和更长的显示器寿命。诸如接近度传感器、运动传感器、相机、光传感器或光学传感器之类的一些传感器可以设置在外壳102内以通过传感器透镜116来监测恒温器100附近的空间。透镜116不是遮光的并且允许至少特定传感器起效所需的频率的光穿过所述透镜，从而允许传感器通过透镜116“看到”或“查看”。
在其他实施例中，一个或多个传感器可以位于外壳102的外部并且可以经由数据通信链路向恒温器100提供输入。例如，一个或多个传感器可以安装在恒温器100后面的工具箱中、安装在单独工具箱中(所述单独工具箱安装在与安装恒温器100同一墙壁内)、或者以其他方式遍及由恒温器100所监测或控制的房间或空间来定位(例如，在墙壁中、在天花板中、在房间或空间的开放区域中、在向房间或空间提供气流或从房间或空间接收气流的管道中等等)。这允许恒温器100监测来自位于不同位置处的各种传感器的输入。例如，湿度传感器可以被定位在墙壁中并且被配置用于测量墙壁内的湿度(例如，以便检测漏水或管道爆裂)。
如图5、图7和图8中所示出的，电路板112和114可以包括一个或多个传感器(例如，温度传感器、湿度传感器等)、通信电子器件、处理电路、和/或被配置用于促进恒温器100的功能的其他电子器件。如图8所示出的，电路板112和114的取向基本上平行于显示器安装件122以及基部120的后部面154。电路板112和114可以在垂直于显示器安装件122和后部面154的方向上彼此间隔开。在其他实施例中，电路板112和114之一或两者的取向可以基本上垂直于显示器安装件122和后部面154。
在一些实施例中，电路板112至少部分地用作传感器板并且具有一个或多个传感器，包括接近度传感器158，运动或占用传感器160以及温度传感器162。在一些实施例中，电路板114至少部分地用作控制板并且包括处理电子器件164、电源或电池166、以及用于从将由所述恒温器控制的HVAC系统接收线路的输入端子168。处理电子器件164(例如，通过电缆或线束)联接至触敏显示器104以接收来自显示器104的用户输入并提供输出以控制显示器104来控制显示器104的操作。在一些实施例中，电源166是可再充电的。在一些实施例中，可以由用户来更换电源166。处理电子器件可以包括处理器和存储器装置。处理器可以被实施为通用处理器、应用专用集成电路(ASIC)、一个或多个现场可编程门阵列(FPGA)、一组处理部件或其他合适的电子处理部件。存储器装置(例如，存储器、存储器单元、存储设备等)是用于存储数据和/或计算机代码的一个或多个设备(例如、RAM、ROM、闪存器、硬盘存储设备等)，所述数据和/或计算机代码用于完成或促进本申请中所描述的各种过程、层和模块。存储器装置可以是或包括易失性存储器或非易失性存储器。存储器装置可以包括数据库组件、对象代码组件、脚本组件或用于支持本申请中所描述的各种活动和信息结构的任何其他类型的信息结构。根据示例性实施例，存储器装置经由处理电路可通信地连接至处理器并且包括用于(例如，由处理电路和/或处理器)执行本文中所描述的一个或多个过程的计算机代码。在一些实施例中，在单一电路板上发现所述电子部件，所述电子部件不同地分布在两个电路板112和114之中，或者不同地分布在多于两个电路板之中。
如在图1、图2、图6和图14中所示出的，前盖108覆盖位于显示器安装件122下方的前壁126的一部分、底壁134以及外壳102的两侧壁128和130的一部分。前盖108可以由各种材料(例如，包括丙烯酸树脂的聚合物、金属、复合材料、层压材料等)形成。前盖108包括与外壳102的前壁126和底壁134相对应或相匹配的前壁170和底壁172。在所展示的实施例中，前盖108(例如，通过磁体、通过卡扣配合连接部、通过螺钉或其他机械紧固件)可移除地附接至外壳102。可移除地附接前盖108允许终端用户通过允许其在由不同材料制成的或具有不同颜色或饰面的前盖中进行选择来定制恒温器100的外观。在一些实施例中，前盖108通过铰链附接至外壳102。在一些实施例中，前盖108被省略并且在所述外壳中形成用于传感器透镜的孔口。如在图8中所示出的，前盖108与保护盖106结合用于形成恒温器100的连续的或齐平的前表面。
如在图6至图8中所示出的，传感器透镜116定位于穿过前盖108的底壁134和穿过外壳102的基部120的底壁134形成的孔口或开口171内。如所展示的，孔口171是有三边的、开口侧位于外壳102的后部面154处。这将透镜116和孔口171放置在前盖108的下端附近和外壳102的下端附近。在一些实施例中，透镜116和孔口171被放置在前盖108的上端附近和外壳102的上端附近(例如，显示器组件附近)。可以通过摩擦力或卡扣配合、粘合剂、或其他适合的固定技术将透镜116固定在孔口171中。在一些实施例中，恒温器100包括位于在前盖108中的对应孔口中或者在外壳102或顶盖118中的对应孔口中的多个传感器透镜。
如在图14中所示出的，顶盖118被可移除地附接至外壳102。顶盖118包括顶壁119以及从顶壁119向下悬伸的两个侧壁121和123。顶盖118的顶壁119覆盖基部120的顶壁132的一部分，而顶盖118的两个侧壁121和123覆盖基部120的两个侧壁128和130的一部分。顶盖118包括允许增加的空气流向外壳102的多个孔口或开口174，这可以帮助冷却位于外壳102内的电子部件。在展示的实施例中，孔口174是一系列相对较小的圆形穿孔。在其他实施例中，孔口174可以是更大的、形状不同的、和/或形成为狭缝或百叶窗。顶盖118可以由各种材料(例如，包括丙烯酸树脂的聚合物、金属、复合材料、层压材料等)形成。在所展示的实施例中，顶盖118(例如，通过磁体、通过卡扣配合连接部、通过螺钉或其他机械紧固件)可移除地附接至外壳102。可移除地附接顶盖118允许终端用户通过允许其在由不同材料制成的或具有不同颜色或饰面的顶盖中进行选择来定制恒温器100的外观。在一些实施例中，顶盖118通过铰链附接至外壳102。在一些实施例中，从恒温器100中省略了顶盖118。
如在图4、图8和图14中所示出的，安装板110包括主要部分或基部176以及远离基部176垂直延伸的四个附接接片178。如在图4中所示出的，安装板110包括被配置为抵靠墙壁200或将要安装恒温器100的其他表面齐平放置的后表面177。基部176包括孔口或开口180，所述孔口或开口被配置用于允许来自有待由恒温器100控制的HVAC系统的控制线路穿过安装板110并且连接至位于外壳102内的输入端子168。如所展示的，孔口180居中地位于基部176中。穿过基部176形成两个紧固件孔口或开口182和184，并且所述孔口或开口彼此间隔开。每个孔口182和184允许螺钉186或其他机械紧固件穿过基部176以便将安装板110附接至墙壁或其他安装位置。如所展示的，孔口182是圆形的并且孔口184是长形狭缝。所述长形狭缝允许用户相对于墙壁中的安装孔旋转安装板110以便在上紧所述紧固件将安装板110在墙壁上固定就位之前使安装板110水平调平。在一些实施例中，孔口182和184间隔开标准恒温器安装距离，使得恒温器100可以用于替换当前恒温器而不一定要在正要附接恒温器100的墙上钻新的安装孔。
如在图4和图14中所示出的，附接接片178被安排为延伸进入外壳102的基部120内的容积124中。每个接片178包括孔口或开口188以用于接收螺钉或其他紧固件从而将外壳102附接至安装板110。如在图5中所示出的，外壳102包括形成在顶壁132和底壁134中的对应的孔口或开口190，用于允许所述紧固件穿过外壳102延伸至所述附接接片。每对孔口188和190中的一个或两个孔口可被制螺纹以与螺纹紧固件一起使用。顶壁132中的孔口190被顶盖118覆盖，而底壁134中的孔口190被前盖108覆盖。在一些实施例中，附接接片178被卡扣配合连接部、弹簧偏置臂、或适合用于将外壳102附接至安装板110的其他附接件替代。如在图8中所示出的，当外壳102被附接至安装板110时，安装板110被设置在外壳102的内部中形成的容积124内，其中安装板176的后表面177与外壳102的基部120的后部面154齐平。这覆盖了安装板110而不被恒温器100的观察者或用户所看到。
现在参考图15和图16，根据说明性实施例示出了包括铰接安装托架的恒温器100。
图15所示的用户控制装置100包括端子168以及容积124以有助于安装用户控制装置100。在图15所展示的实施例中，用户控制装置100包括四个端子168。在替代性实施例中，用户控制装置100可以包括少于或多于四个端子168。端子168各自可以被配置用于与一根或多根电线进行电接触，如图15所示。例如，传统的HVAC系统可以通过四根电线由恒温器进行控制。在说明性实施例中，四个端子168可以各自用于连接至四根电线之一以控制HVAC系统(例如，经由电线)。在替代性实施例中，可以使用任何合适数量的电线来控制HVAC系统，并且用户控制装置100可以包括任何合适数量的端子168。端子168可以电连接至用户控制装置100内的一个或多个电路板。
在一些实施例中，一些端子168可以用于与非HVAC设备交互。一些端子168可以用于经由离散、模拟和/或数字协议输入或输出信息。例如，可以使用两个端子168来操作继电器，例如插座的电力继电器。在这样的示例中，连接至两个端子168之一的电线可以作为中性线进行操作，并且可以选择性地将电力施加至另一根电线，由此选择性地操作电力继电器。在另一个示例中，可以使用两个或更多个端子168来传输数据。在说明性实施例中，可以使用通过端子168之一接收的电流量来指示数值。例如，通过端子168的电流范围可以是0-20毫安(mA)。远程传感器可以通过电线传输对应于感测状态的电流。例如，远程传感器可以是温度传感器，传输0mA对应于远程传感器感测到温度为0°F，并且传输20mA对应于远程传感器感测到温度为110°F。在替代性实施例中，任何合适的电流范围可以对应于任何合适的温度(或其他感测条件)范围。
在一些实施例中，两个或更多个端子168可以被用作通信端口。例如，端子168可以经由模拟协议(例如，使用频率或幅值调制)或数字协议与远程装置进行通信。在说明性实施例中，端子168可以通过局域网的路由器与多个远程传感器(它们本身可以是有线的或无线的)进行通信。例如，各自连接至端子168中的一个端子的四根电线可以用于经由以太网和/或互联网协议与路由器进行通信。
端子168可以是任何合适类型的端子或连接器，如螺钉端子、按钮端子、滑动端子、绝缘位移端子等。在一些实施例中，电线可以包括任何合适的尖头，如铲形连接器、插针连接器、回路连接器等。如图15所示出的，端子168凹入到用户控制装置100的本体中并位于容积124内。在容积124内具有端子168允许用户控制装置100的本体的背表面被安装成齐平抵靠安装表面(如墙壁)。在容积124内具有端子168还提供了容易且便利地触及端子168以用于连接或断开电线。
图15的说明性的用户控制装置100包括前触敏显示器102、后表面或背表面152、用户信息198、铰链192、以及安装件或安装板110。在替代性实施例中，可以使用附加的、更少的和/或不同的元件。如图15所示出的，用户控制装置100可以经由安装板110安装到墙壁200(或任何其他安装表面)上。可以使用任何合适的方法(如机械紧固件、螺钉、钉子、粘合剂、钩等)将安装板110固定到墙壁200或任何其他合适的安装位置。在图15所展示的实施例中，安装板110包括用于螺钉186的安装孔，所述安装孔被配置用于接收紧固件(如螺钉186)以将安装板110牢固地安装到墙壁200上。安装板110包括开口180。电线可以穿过安装表面和开口180，从而允许电线的一端连接至端子168、并且电线的另一端连接至远程装置。在说明性实施例中，开口180位于用于螺钉186的两个安装孔之间。在说明性实施例中，开口180位于安装板110的中心。开口180可以大于用于螺钉186的安装孔。例如，开口180的尺寸可以设计成允许多根电线穿过所述开口，并且用于螺钉186的安装孔的尺寸可以设计成配合安装螺钉186。
安装板110经由铰链192可枢转地连接至恒温器本体的外壳102。铰链192可以位于外壳102的后部面154与底壁134的交叉处。铰链192允许安装板110和外壳102围绕铰链192相对于彼此移动。即铰链192是恒温器本体的安装板110和/或外壳102围绕其旋转的枢轴。因此，当安装板110被固定到安装表面上时，恒温器本体的外壳102可以围绕铰链192旋转以选择性地暴露端子168。铰链192允许外壳102的后部面154远离(或朝向)安装板110摆动。
铰链192可以是任何合适的铰链。例如，用户控制装置100的本体可以包括沿着本体的一个或多个杆，安装板110卡扣在所述杆上。在另一个示例中，安装板110和用户控制装置100的本体可以各自具有杆可插入其中的孔眼。在替代性实施例中，铰链192是允许安装板110相对于用户控制装置100移动的柔性材料。
图15示出了用户控制装置100，所述用户控制装置处于向下或打开位置而使得端子168暴露出并且可供用户将电线与端子168连接或断开。用户控制装置100可以向上旋转到图16中实线所示的向上或关闭位置。在一些实施例中，用户控制装置100可以包括用于将用户控制装置100固定在向上位置的机构，如附接接片178和螺钉186，如图15和图16所示。固位器可以用于将本体的后表面固位在邻近安装板110的向上或关闭位置中。例如，用户控制装置可以使用夹子、搭扣、磁体或任何其他合适的紧固装置。固位器将外壳102的后部面154拧紧在邻近安装板110的位置。
显示器102可以被配置用于在朝向保护盖106在前屏上显示信息，并且在朝向显示器安装件122的背表面152的后屏上显示信息。在用户控制装置100处于向下位置(例如图15所展示的位置)的同时，显示器102可以用于通过背表面152向用户显示或传送信息。在说明性实施例中，用户控制装置100可以检测用户控制装置100何时处于向上或向下的位置。例如，可以使用测斜仪或倾斜传感器来确定用户控制装置100被旋转成在向下位置还是在直立位置。当用户控制装置100处于向下位置时，显示器102的后屏能够朝向后表面152显示，并且显示器102的屏幕被禁用。类似地，当用户控制装置100处于向上位置时，显示器102的后屏被禁用而不显示，并且启用显示器102的前屏。在替代性实施例中，前部触敏显示器102的前屏和后屏两者在向上和向下位置中均被启用。在一些实施例中，显示器102的后屏是触敏的。在一些实施例中，前屏和后屏是分开且不同的显示器。在其他实施例中，显示器102是具有两个屏幕的单一部件。
在说明性实施例中，显示器102的后屏显示可能与用户控制装置100的安装有关的用户信息198。例如，用户信息198可以包括用于安装用户控制装置100的指令、故障排除指令、展示出安装步骤的图片、接线图等。
在图15所展示的实施例中，用户信息198显示出水平仪，所述水平仪指示了用户控制装置100相对于大地沿安装表面的平面的相对旋转位置。例如，所述水平仪可以用于确保用户控制装置100在处于向上位置并且被安装到安装结构上时垂直于地面。在这样的实施例中，与插入到安装板110的安装孔中的螺钉186相比，用于螺钉186的安装孔可以是过尺寸的。例如，所述安装孔之一可以形成为长形竖直狭缝，以允许用户根据需要向上或向下调整安装板110并经由延伸穿过长形竖直狭缝的紧固件将安装板固定在水平取向上。过尺寸的安装孔可以允许螺钉186插入但不能拧紧，由此允许用户旋转用户控制装置100，直到所述水平仪表明用户控制装置100相对于地面处于垂直位置。可以拧紧螺钉186以将用户控制装置100固定在垂直位置。
在说明性实施例中，用户控制装置100包括用于确定用户控制装置100相对于地面的位置的一个或多个位置传感器。由位置传感器确定的旋转位置可以经由背表面152所显示的水平仪来示出。例如，用户控制装置100可以包括光学传感器，所述光学传感器检测充有液体的圆柱体中的气泡的位置，以确定用户控制装置100是否是水平的(例如，由CiSForschungsinstitut fur Mikrosensorik GmbH制造的eLiSe调平传感器)。在替代性实施例中，可以使用测斜仪或倾斜传感器来确定用户控制装置100是否与地面调平。测斜仪或倾斜传感器可以位于用户控制装置100的本体内。
在说明性实施例中，位置传感器可以包括可以用于监测用户控制装置100的运动的加速计。例如，用户控制装置100可以是电池供电的。用户控制装置100的制造商可以提供用户控制装置100呈水平的指示，并且用户控制装置100可以存储用于基于用户控制装置100在用户控制装置100水平时所处的位置来确定用户控制装置100的相对位置的信息。
在替代性实施例中，用户控制装置100的用户可以通过向用户控制装置100提供电池电力来激活用户控制装置100。用户可以将用户控制装置100放置在水平位置。例如，用户可以将用户控制装置放置在地板上、桌子上、工作台面上、另一个水平测量装置(例如，具有水准泡)上等。用户可以向用户控制装置100指示所述用户控制装置是水平的，如通过与背表面152交互(例如，通过按压按钮)。用户控制装置100可以使用一个或多个加速度计来监测用户控制装置100从水平位置的旋转，并且经由用户信息198来显示旋转。
如在图17和图18中所示出的，恒温器100被附接至墙壁200。显示器组件(例如，触敏显示器104、保护盖106和显示器安装件122)不是遮光的，这允许用户或观察者通过所述显示器组件看到墙壁200。当在触敏显示器104上没有显示视觉媒体时，显示器组件可以融合到其周围环境中，从而减少了其对墙壁200及围绕墙壁200的空间的视觉冲击。例如，观察者通过显示器组件看到被涂漆的墙壁200的颜色，其中只有恒温器100的不遮光的部件(例如，前盖108和顶盖118)遮蔽或覆盖观察者的对墙壁200的视野。与整个恒温器都遮光的常规恒温器相比，这样在覆盖墙壁的不遮光的部件方面具有较小的视觉冲击。通过将前盖108和顶盖118的颜色与墙壁的颜色匹配，可以进一步降低视觉冲击。
如在图16和图18中所示出的，所述显示器组件与墙壁200间隔开，其中显示器安装件122的背表面152与墙壁200间隔开水平距离156，留出在显示器安装件122与墙壁200之间的间隙202。在常规恒温器中，在显示器组件与墙壁之间没有与充有恒温器100附近的环境大气的间隙202相类似的间隙。常规恒温器与墙壁齐平安装，使得恒温器的总周长或基本上总周长与墙壁接触或者其总周长与恒温器的总周长相同或相比更大的安装板与墙壁接触。相比在图13中所示出的，针对恒温器100，与墙壁200接触的外壳102的基部120的后部面154的周长204远小于外壳102的总周长206(即，显示器安装件122的背表面152的周长和基部120的后部面154的周长204的结合周长)。间隙202和接触墙壁200的减小的周长204每一者都通过使温度传感器与墙壁200分隔开来帮助恒温器的温度传感器162读取尽可能接近房间环境条件的状况，所述读取的状况可能经常为比房间环境条件更低的温度。间隙202和接触墙壁200的减小的周长204还帮助改善触摸屏显示器104周围的气流，从而消散将被传输至常规恒温器的外壳和其他部件的热量。
参照图19至图20，展示了恒温器100的替代性示例性实施例。支架或突出部208从所述显示器安装件的背表面152向外延伸，并且被配置用于接触安装恒温器100的墙壁200。支架208可以是单一整体成形外壳102的一部分或者可以是被附接至所述显示器安装件(例如，通过粘合剂、机械紧固件、热铆接或其他合适的附接技术)的单独的部件。支架208帮助耐受当用户按压触敏显示器屏幕104时绕显示器安装件122和基部120之间的连接点所施加的力矩。在所展示的实施例中，提供了三个支架208。在其他实施例中，提供了更多或更少的支架。
参照图21至图24，恒温器100可以包括一个或多个光源210(例如发光二极管)，所述光源被配置用于提供环境照明和/或与恒温器100相关联的其他照明效果。图21和22展示了具有显示器安装件122的恒温器100的示例性实施例，所述恒温器包括用于在显示器安装件122内引导来自光源210的光的波导212。如所展示的，波导212形成围绕显示器安装件122的三侧(顶侧、左侧和右侧)的框架。波导212可以包括位于显示器安装件122内或附接至所述显示器安装件的一个或多个光纤。图23和图24展示了恒温器100的示例性实施例，所述恒温器具有设置在外壳102的基部120的顶壁132的区段136中的多个光源210。在一些实施例中，光源210(具有波导212或不具有波导(图23))被配置用于朝墙壁或安装恒温器100的其他表面发射光。当白光指向墙壁时，显示器组件(例如触敏显示器104、保护盖106、及显示器安装件122)看起来对用户更透明，进一步帮助显示器组件融入其背景。光源210还可以被控制用于向用户提供通知或警报(例如黄色表示警报或警告，红色表示紧急情况等)。稳定光或闪烁光也可以向用户提供不同的通知或警告(例如闪烁光指示还未被用户确认的警报，而固态光用于指示已经被用户确认的警报)。光源210可以由用户控制(例如，颜色、亮度、或光的其他特性)以用于提供用户期望的气氛或环境照明。
图25展示了恒温器100的示例性实施例，所述恒温器具有接收各种可互换模块或部件的能力。外壳102包括用于接收模块216的孔口或开口214，所述模块电连接至电路板112和114中的一个或其他电子部件以便向恒温器100提供附加功能。各种模块216允许用户升级或定制恒温器100以包括用户选择的特征。例如，恒温器100可以包括在于2015年11月25日提交的美国临时专利申请号62/260,141中所描述的模块化恒温器的任何特征，以及在于2016年1月5日提交的美国临时专利申请号62/275,199中所描述的恒温器的任何特征，所述申请的每一个通过引用以其全文结合在此。模块216可以包括通信收发器(例如ZIGBEE、ZWAVE、近场通信、蜂窝等)、附加传感器、及附加电源、或其他电子部件。在一些实施例中，恒温器100提供了不止一个模块216的使用，并且包括在外壳102中的对应孔口214。可以提供有线端口218(例如USB端口)以用于允许去往和来自恒温器100的电子部件的外部有线通信和/或电源。可以提供孔口220以允许触及位于外壳内的复位按钮，从而允许用户插入装置(例如笔、曲别针等)来手动关闭电源和重启恒温器100。
图26至图28展示了根据示例性实施例的多功能用户控制装置或恒温器300。恒温器300与恒温器300基本上类似。与恒温器100类似的那些部件用300而不是100来编号。恒温器300包括纵向显示器组件，在所述纵向显示器组件中触敏显示器302、显示器安装件322和保护盖306(如果包括，则与显示器302分开)的高度344大于宽度346。
如各示例性实施例中所示出的系统和方法的构造和安排仅是说明性的。尽管本披露中仅详细描述了几个实施例，但是许多修改是可能的(例如，各种元件的大小、尺寸、结构、形状和比例、参数的值、安装安排、材料的使用、颜色、取向等的变化)。例如，元件的位置可以颠倒或以其他方式变化，并且离散元件的性质或数量或位置可以更改或变化。因此，所有这类修改旨在被包括在本披露的范围之内。可以根据替代实施例对任何过程或方法步骤的顺序或序列进行改变或重新排序。在不脱离本披露范围的情况下，可以在示例性实施例的设计、操作条件和安排方面作出其他替代、修改、改变、和省略。本文引用的元件位置(例如“顶部”、“底部”、“之上”、“之下”、“向上”、“向下”、等)用于描述各元件相对于彼此的方向，其中所述用户控制装置在其正常操作位置，如附图所展示的。
本披露假设任何机器可读介质上的用于完成各操作的方法、系统和程序产品。可以使用现有计算机处理器或由结合用于此目的或另一目的的适当系统的专用计算机处理器或由硬接线系统来实施本披露的实施例。本披露范围内的实施例包括程序产品，所述程序产品包括用于携带或具有存储在其上的机器可执行指令或数据结构的机器可读介质。这种机器可读介质可以是可由通用或专用计算机或具有处理器的其他机器存取的任何可用介质。举例来讲，这类计算机可读介质可以包括RAM、ROM、EPROM、EEPROM、CD-ROM或其他光盘存储设备、磁盘存储设备或其他磁存储设备等，或者可以用来以机器可执行指令或数据结构的形式携带或存储所期望的程序代码并且可以由通用或专用计算机或具有处理器的其他机器访问的任何其他介质。上述内容的组合也包括在机器可读介质的范围内。机器可执行指令包括例如使得通用计算机、专用计算机或专用处理机执行特定功能或功能组的指令和数据。
尽管附图示出了指定顺序的方法步骤，但是步骤的顺序可以不同于所描绘的。还可以同时或部分同时地执行两个或更多个步骤。这种变型将取决于所选软件和硬件系统以及设计者的选择。所有这种变型都在本披露的范围内。同样地，可以用具有基于规则的逻辑和用以实现各连接步骤、处理步骤、比较步骤和判定步骤的其他逻辑的标准编程技术来实现软件实施方式。
