Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A thermostat may include a memory and a processing system. The processing system may operate by determining a set of wake-up conditions for the processor to enter into a second operating state from a first operating state, the set of wake-up conditions including at least one threshold value associated with at least one environmental condition; causing the set of wake-up conditions to be stored in the memory; operating in a first mode in which the processor is in the first operating state during a time interval subsequent to causing the set of wake-up conditions to be stored in the memory; determining, while the processor is in the first operating state, whether at least one of the set of wake-up conditions has been met; and then operating in a second mode in which the processor is in the second operating state.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A thermostat, comprising: a memory; and a processing system, the processing system being configured to be in operative communication with a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, the processing system including a processor coupled to said memory, the processor having a first operating state and a second operating state, wherein the processor consumes more power in the second operating state than in the first operating state, wherein the…
