Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A fabric selection tool provides an automated procedure for recommending and/or selecting a fabric for a window treatment to be installed in a building. The recommendation may be made to optimize the performance of the window treatment in which the fabric may be installed. The recommended fabric may be selected based on performance metrics associated with each fabric in an environment. The fabrics may be ranked based upon the performance metrics of one or more of the fabrics. One or more of the fabrics, and/or their corresponding ranks, may be displayed to a user for selection. The recommended fabrics may be determined based on combinations of fabrics that provide performance metrics for various façades of the building. Using the ranking system provided by the fabric selection tool, the user may obtain a fabric sample and/or order one or more of the recommended fabrics.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A method for recommending a window treatment fabric, the method comprising: determining at least one position of window treatments that are controlled by an automated window treatment control system, wherein the at least one position of the window treatments cause at least a portion of at least one window of an interior space to be covered by the window treatments within at least one calendar day, wherein the at least one position is determined during at least two different time frames within the at least one calendar day; and presenting a recommendation to a user for at least one fabric of the window treatments to be used for at least one window, wherein the recommendation is based on the determined at least one position of the window treatments that are controlled by the automated window treatment control system. 2 .- 130 .
