Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The current application is directed to an intelligent control system that includes intelligent thermostats and remote servers that spread call-home events over time to avoid large peak computational and communications loads on intelligent-control-system servers. The spreading of call-home vents over time is effected by use of call-home splay values pseudorandomly generated for intelligent thermostats.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An intelligent thermostat within an intelligent control system, the intelligent thermostat comprising: a processor; an electronic memory; a time-offset value stored within the electronic memory, wherein the time-offset value is randomly or pseudo randomly generated and stored in the electronic memory during a manufacturing process; and instructions stored within the electronic memory that, when retrieved and executed by the processor, control the…
