Abstract: Hazard detection systems and methods according to embodiments described herein are operative to enable a user to interface with the hazard detection system by performing a touchless gesture. The touchless gesture can be performed in a vicinity of the hazard detection system without requiring physical access to the hazard detection system. This enables the user to interact with the hazard detection system even if it is out of reach. The hazard detection system can detect gestures and perform an appropriate action responsive to the detected gesture. In one embodiment, the hazard detection system can silence its audible alarm or pre-emptively turn off its audible alarm in response to a detected gesture. Gestures can be detected using one or more ultrasonic sensors, or gestures can be detected using a motion detector in combination with one or more ultrasonic sensors.

Abstract: In an embodiment, an electronic device may include storage containing processor-executable instructions, a preference function that maps weights indicating likely user preferences for the range of values of a device setting in relation to a range of values of a variable, and a current automated device control schedule configured to control the device setting of the electronic device in relation to the variable, and a processor. The instructions may cause the processor to determine the current automated device control schedule based on the preference function by detecting user behavior that indicates satisfaction or dissatisfaction with values of the device setting in relation to the variable, updating the preference function based on the detected user behavior, and determining the current automated device control schedule by comparing a number of candidate device control schedules against the weights of the preference function and selecting the candidate with the highest score.

Gestures can be detected by processing sensor data to determine whether periodic shapes are detected.

Abstract: In an embodiment, an electronic device may include storage containing processor-executable instructions and a current setpoint schedule, and a processor configured to execute the instructions. The instructions may cause the processor to control an environmental control system based at least in part on the current setpoint schedule, and to determine the current setpoint schedule by detecting user behavior that indicates satisfaction with setpoints, based at least in part on the detected user behavior, determining a preference function that maps weights indicating user preferences for setpoints, determining candidate setpoint schedules, scoring the candidate setpoint schedules against the weights of the preference function to obtain first scores, where candidate setpoint schedules that best fit the weights of the preference function have the highest first scores, modifying the first scores to obtain second scores, and selecting the candidate setpoint schedule with the highest second score as a new current setpoint schedule.
