System for controlling consumers of a household control technology by means of muscle impulses of at least one user and corresponding method

摘要

A system (50) is provided for driving consumers (61, 62, 63, 64) of a household control technology, in particular lights, by means of muscle impulses of at least one user. The system (50) comprises at least one muscle pulse acquisition unit (70) for detecting electrical muscle pulses. The muscle pulses arise when performing one or more gestures generated in free space and are detected in the form of a gesture clearly associated preferably digital signals. In this case, the muscle pulse acquisition unit (70) further comprises a transmitting unit (75) for transmitting the signals uniquely assigned to the gestures. Furthermore, the system (50) has at least one control unit (80). In this case, the control unit (80) has a receiving unit (81) for receiving the signals transmitted by the transmitting unit (75), an allocation unit (82) for allocating the received signals to control commands stored in the control unit (80) and a drive unit (83) for Driving at least one of the consumers (61, 62, 63, 64) of the home automation system based on the control signals associated with the received signals. Furthermore, the invention relates to a corresponding method for driving consumers (61, 62, 63, 64) of a home automation system, in particular of lights, by means of muscle impulses of at least one user.
