The subject matter herein generally relates to environment monitoring devices, and more particularly to an environment monitoring device for monitoring a plurality of environmental parameters.
Currently, in order to monitor environmental parameters, multiple types of sensors need to be set up to detect different environmental parameters. Current environmental monitoring methods may not be efficient and require lots of equipment.
Implementations of the present disclosure will now be described, by way of embodiments, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. Additionally, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features. The description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein.
Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
The term “coupled” is defined as connected, whether directly or indirectly through intervening components, and is not necessarily limited to physical connections. The connection can be such that the objects are permanently connected or releasably connected. The term “comprising” means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in a so-described combination, group, series and the like.
In general, the word “module” as used hereinafter refers to logic embodied in hardware or firmware, or to a collection of software instructions, written in a programming language such as, for example, Java, C, or assembly. One or more software instructions in the modules may be embedded in firmware such as in an erasable-programmable read-only memory (EPROM). It will be appreciated that the modules may comprise connected logic units, such as gates and flip-flops, and may comprise programmable units, such as programmable gate arrays or processors. The modules described herein may be implemented as either software and/or hardware modules and may be stored in any type of computer-readable medium or other computer storage device.
The sensing unit 10 includes a plurality of sensors 11 for sensing a plurality of environmental parameters in real time. The plurality of sensors 11 include a temperature sensor for sensing temperature, a humidity sensor for sensing humidity, a carbon monoxide sensor for sensing a concentration of carbon monoxide, a carbon dioxide sensor for sensing a concentration of carbon dioxide, a volatile organic substance sensor for sensing a concentration of volatile organic substances, a light intensity sensor for sensing an intensity of light, an infrared sensor for sensing infrared light, and a dynamic sensor for sensing a presence, distance, and speed of objects. It can be understood that the sensor 11 is not limited to the above-mentioned sensors, and other types of sensors, such as a barometric sensor, a smoke sensor, an image sensor, or the like may be provided according to actual needs.
The processor 20 is configured to process environmental parameter data and execute a plurality of instructions. The processor 20 can be a central processing unit, a digital signal processor, a processor on a chip, or the like.
The communication unit 30 includes a wired port 31. The wired port 31 can be a wired communication port such as a USB, a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), a Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART), or a Local Area Network (LAN).
The communication unit 30 can be coupled to a terminal device 400 to upload the environmental parameter data sensed by the sensing unit 10 and processed by the processor 20 to the terminal device 400.
The storage unit 40 is configured to store the environmental parameter data and a plurality of instructions, which are executed by the processor 20 to perform corresponding functions. The storage unit 40 is further configured to store preset standard values of environmental parameters.
The storage unit 40 can be a hard disk, a universal serial bus (USB) drive, a random access memory, or the like.
In at least one embodiment, the storage unit 40 can be an internal memory system, such as a flash memory, a random access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), or the like.
The environment monitoring device 100 further includes a power supply unit 50. The power supply unit 50 is coupled to the communication unit 30 for supplying power to the sensing unit 10, the processor 20, the communication unit 30, and the storage unit 40.
In at least one embodiment, the power supply unit 50 is a direct current (DC) power storage device, such as a battery.
In at least one embodiment, the power supply unit 50 is a DC/DC or alternating current (AC)/DC power supply.
When the communication unit 30 is a USB drive, the communication unit 30 can be coupled to the terminal device 400 to supply power to the sensing unit 10, the processor 20, and the storage unit 40.
Referring to
The acquisition module 210 is configured to acquire the environmental parameter data sensed by the plurality of sensors 11 and transmit the environmental parameter data to the processor 20 and the storage unit 40. The trend-fitting module 220 is configured to fit a trend line on a graph according to the acquired environmental parameter data. The determination module 230 is configured to determine whether the acquired environmental parameter data exceeds a preset standard value. The communication control module 240 is configured to control the communication unit 30 to transmit the environmental parameter data to the terminal device 400.
In one embodiment, if any of the acquired environmental parameter data exceeds the preset standard value, the communication control module 240 sends a prompt to the terminal device 400 to alert that the acquired environmental parameter data exceeds the preset standard value.
The environmental monitoring device 100 of both embodiments can integrate the environmental parameter data of the plurality of environmental parameters. Thus, it is convenient to monitor various environmental parameters in real time, thereby saving monitoring costs.
The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the detail, including in matters of shape, size and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure up to, and including, the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims.
