Patent №: 11829166 (November 28, 2023) – Image analysis for temperature modification. This patent explores a method for monitoring occupants in an interior environment. By analyzing a set of images, the system identifies occupant characteristics and compares them to external temperature to generate a discrepancy factor. If the threshold is exceeded, the system initiates a modification of the interior temperature. This invention has the potential to revolutionize energy efficiency and create more comfortable living spaces.
