Abstract:
Various embodiments of systems, methods and apparatus are provided for changing an operational mode of a remote control for a controlled device. A remote control queries a controlled device to determine the operating state of the controlled device. Responsive to determining the operating state of the controlled device, the remote control determines whether to enter an active mode state and/or limited power mode state. Components of the remote control may then be commanded to enter a selected operating mode state depending on whether the components are utilized by the present operational state of the controlled device.
Abstract:
A handheld device includes a display having a viewable surface and operable to generate an image indicating a currently controlled remote device and a gesture database maintaining a plurality of remote command gestures. Each remote command gesture is defined by a motion of the device with respect to a first position of the handheld device. The device includes a gesture mapping database comprising a mapping of each of the remote command gestures to an associated command for controlling operation of the remote device and a motion detection module operable to detect motion of the handheld device within three dimensions and to identify components of the motion in relation to the viewable surface. The device includes a control module operable to track movement of the handheld device using the motion detection module, to compare the tracked movement against the remote command gestures to determine a matching gesture, and to identify the one of the commands corresponding to the matching gesture. The device also includes a wireless interface operable to transmit the identified command to a remote receiver for delivery to the remote device.
Abstract:
Ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines als Stand-alone-Gerät ausgelegten batteriebetriebenen Bediengerätes, insbesondere als Teil einer Gebäudeinstallation, wird das Bediengerät zum Reduzieren seines Stromverbrauchs in unterschiedliche Modi geschaltet, von denen ein erster Modus des Bediengerätes derjenige Modus ist, in dem der oder die an eine manuelle Sensorbetätigung geknüpften Befehle abgesetzt werden, und von denen ein zweiter Modus ein Ruhe-Modus ist, in den das Betriebsgerät nach Abschluss der ausgeführten Aktion geschaltet wird. Dabei ist vorgesehen, - dass zum Erreichen des Ruhe-Modus alle Stromverbraucher des Bediengerätes stromlos geschaltet werden, - dass im Ruhe-Modus die Schaltstellung des oder der mechanischen Sensoren mittels einer Triggerschaltung 3 überwacht wird und - dass als Folge einer manuellen Betätigung eines Sensors 5 mittels der Triggerschaltung 3 die Stromverbraucher bestromt werden, und dann die durch die Sensorbetätigung gewünschte Aktion ausgeführt wird. Beschrieben ist des Weiteren ein batteriebetriebenes Bediengerät zum Bedienen einer Gebäudeinstallation. Das Bediengerät weist eine Triggerschaltung 3 auf, durch die bei einer Sensorbetätigung im Ruhe-Modus des Bediengerätes die in diesem Modus stromlosen Verbraucher bestromt werden. Der Mikrocontroller 1 des Bediengerätes hat Zugriff auf einen nicht-flüchtigen Speicher, in dem eine Routine zum Hochfahren des Mikrocontrollers 1 und/oder Betriebsparameter abgelegt sind.

Abstract:
A low-power wireless network involves a master and a plurality of RF-enabled fluorescent lamp starter units. In each of a plurality of intervals, a starter wakes up and listens for a beacon, regardless of whether a beacon is transmitted during that interval or not. The starter operates in a low power sleep mode during the majority of the interval. The master can transmit during the beacon slot time of any interval, but typically only transmits frequently enough to maintain starter synchronization. If the master wishes to communicate with the starters with reduced latency, then the master can transmit a beacon in the next interval. Beacon slot time is varied within the interval (for example, from interval to interval or from group of intervals to group of intervals) in a pseudo-random time-hopping fashion known to both the starters and the master, thereby reducing persistence of collisions with similar networks.
