Dynamically Modifying Temperatures At Positions in a Room Having a Plurality Of Positioned People Responsive To Input Requests From Individual Positioned People

Abstract

Controlling the temperature gradient in an enclosed auditorium with positioned people by initially generating, by thermal input, a level selected base temperature plane coextensive with the plane of the enclosed room. Each of the positioned people is enabled to dynamically input a request for a temperature change in the base temperature plane at a position corresponding to the position of the person in the room plane. All of the input requests of positioned people may then be correlated with the base temperature plane to convert the base temperature plane into a base temperature curvature coextensive with the plane of the enclosed room. The thermal input may then be varied responsive to the sensed temperature variations to maintain the base temperature curvature.
