Operating method for a motorized roller blind
View Patent ↗The method describes the operation of a roller blind including a moving element that can be operated via an actuator and a handheld-type remote control used to set the value of an operating parameter of the system, the value of this parameter being modifiable between two limit values. In this method, after a modification of the setting of the parameter value, an acknowledgement signal is sent, the acknowledgement signals differing according to whether the parameter value is or is not a limit value.
1. Operating method for a motorized system for closure, privacy, solar protection or screening, comprising a moving element that can be operated via an actuator and a handheld-type remote control used to set a value of an operating parameter of the system, the value of this parameter being modifiable between two limit values, wherein, after the setting of the parameter value has been incremented or decremented by presses on buttons of the remote control, an acknowledgement signal is sent, wherein the acknowledgement signal reflects whether or not the parameter value is a limit value.
2. The operating method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the parameter can take a finite number of intermediate values between the two limit values and wherein a specific acknowledgement signal is associated with each of the intermediate and limit values.
3. The operating method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein an acknowledgement signal reflects a given setting level or a given setting variation.
4. The operating method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the acknowledgement signal includes a movement of the moving element, until a position representative of the parameter value is reached.
5. The operating method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in a first mode of operation of the system, presses on buttons of the remote control are used to control the movements of the moving element, and wherein, in a second mode of operation of the system, presses on said buttons of the remote control are used to modify the parameter value.
6. The operating method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein, in the second mode of operation of the system, presses on said buttons of the remote control cause a counter, the values of which are associated with parameter values, to be incremented or decremented.
7. The operating method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the acknowledgement signals include movements of the moving element.
8. The operating method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the operating parameter is a sensitivity or a duration.
9. The operating method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a modification of the setting of the parameter is accompanied by a movement of the system allowing the set parameter value to be checked.
10. Motorized system for closure, privacy, solar protection or screening, including a moving element that can be operated via an actuator and a handheld-type remote control used to set the value of an operating parameter of the system, the value of this parameter being modifiable between two limit values, which comprises hardware and software means for implementing the method as claimed in claim 1 .
