First Human Sense Bionic Neural Network Technique Developed by Tianjin University

 

Recently, a human sense bionic neural network technique was successfully applied to the central air conditioning system manufactured by the Haier Group. This technique was developed by Professor Ming Dong and his research team at Tianjin University. As the first human sense bionic neural network technique in China, it was awarded two National Invention Patents.

The human sense bionic neural network technique embedded in the air conditioner is named the “MOVE EYE PERCEPTUAL MODEL”, which is united by combined sensors, combining the rotation system, and data processing center. With the help of its “MOVE EYE”-the infrared thermal sensor and pyro electric infrared transducer, the air conditioner is able to scan the heating element in the room by rotating the “Stepping motor”, retrieve the thermoelectric data and pyro electric data, and perceive the thermal distribution of the room. The whole model works similar to the “sensory nervous system” of a human. As the system receive the data, the data processing center starts to work as the “Brain”. The heat sources are identified and the information collected determines the number of people in the room and their location. Professor Ming Dong said “Our model involves solving complex problems in the infrared thermal field, that is to say, how to recognize whether the heating element is a human or not.”

Finally, the “Brain” sends an instruction to “The Body”, which is the air outlet control module controlling the air flow direction and air volume, resulting in the specific air flow for the human body.

The intelligent air conditioner will provide an effective solution to solve the problem of single source control from a traditional air conditioner. It will meet the user’s maximize needs to suit the custom requirements as well as reduce energy waste.

"The intelligent air conditioners will automatic increase temperature by one degree when the room remains empty for more than thirty minutes. It will also automatic turn off after sixty minutes.” A Technician from Haier Group said. “When people come back to the room, the system will turn on and continue to work immediately.”

This technique applies the newly developed multimode multiple source human information detected system, combined with the new smart home control method. This technique was generated from machine learning and automation control. In the future, this technique will play an important role in the home application of the internet controlled devices, old-age care, and intelligent entrance guard system.
