Abstract

A kit for identifying and controlling an air register in response to a user-set program is disclosed. The kit contains at least one of a remote control programmable air register capable of vent open, vent close, partial open, wake, leave, arrive, sleep and revert 24 hours settings and memory operations. The kit contains at least one of a remote control device that communicates commands to the programmable air register.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A programmable air register kit comprising:
 at least one of a programmable air register assembly; and   at least one of a digital remote control,   wherein the programmable air register assembly comprising a vent front element,   a vent sliding element, a vent rear element, a circuit board, a battery, a holder and a vent control assembly;   the vent front element comprising a vent front element body having vent openings, a circuit board interface opening, a battery interface opening, and a manual switch slot;   the vent sliding element comprising a vent sliding element body having an array of vent sliding element air flow openings and a manual switch;   the vent rear element comprising a vent rear element body having a corresponding array of vent rear element air flow openings and a vent control plate opening;   the vent control assembly comprised a vent control bar which is affixed to the inside of the vent rear element, a vent control engine affixed to the vent control bar and operably connected to a vent control plate by a vent control rod;   the vent control rod operably connects the vent control plate to the vent control engine for back and forth movement of the vent control plate;   the vent control plate is positioned to engage the vent sliding element through the vent control plate opening for slidedly positioning the array of vent sliding element air flow openings with respect to the corresponding array of vent rear element air flow openings from an open configuration to a closed configuration, or a partially closed configuration.   
   
   
       2 . The programmable air register kit of  claim 1  wherein activation of the vent control engine is governed by a setting stored in the circuit board by the digital remote control. 
   
   
       3 . The programmable air register kit of  claim 2  wherein the digital remote control is comprised of a case having a display and a digital remote control assembly. 
   
   
       4 . The programmable air register kit of  claim 3  wherein the control assembly is comprised of a digital remote control battery operably connected to a communications and display assembly. 
   
   
       5 . The programmable air register kit of  claim 4 , wherein the digital remote control assembly comprising a menu-set interface element, a forward interface element and a backward interface element for identifying and communicating with each programmable air register assembly. 
   
   
       6 . The programmable air register kit of  claim 5  wherein the digital remote control assembly is further operable for selecting and setting timed events for each identified programmable air register assembly. 
   
   
       7 . A method of controlling air flow through a programmable air register comprising:
 providing a programmable air register;   providing a digital remote control configured to program the programmable air register;   assigning a unique identification to the programmable air register using the digital remote control; and   programming a first event into the programmable air register using the unique identification number;   
   
   
       8 . The method of controlling air flow through a programmable air register of  claim 7 , further comprising programming a second event into the programmable air register using the unique identification number. 
   
   
       9 . The method of controlling air flow through a programmable air register of  claim 8 , further comprising programming a third event into the programmable air register using the unique identification number. 
   
   
       10 . The method of controlling air flow through a programmable air register of  claim 9 , further comprising programming a fourth event into the programmable air register using the unique identification number. 
   
   
       11 . The method of controlling air flow through a programmable air register of  claim 10 , wherein the first event is associated with waking, the second event is associated with leaving, the third event is associated with arriving, and the fourth event is associated with sleeping. 
   
   
       12 . The method of controlling air flow through a programmable air register of  claim 11 , wherein a percentage of an air flow is assigned to the first event, the second event, the third event and the fourth event. 
   
   
       13 . The method of controlling air flow through a programmable air register of  claim 7  wherein the first event is an open vent for 24 hours. 
   
   
       14 . The method of controlling air flow through a programmable air register of  claim 7  wherein the first event is a closed vent for 24 hours.
