Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To notify a user of the power shortage of a remote controller, and also to indicate an operation to charge the remote controller to the user. SOLUTION: The remote controller (11) includes: a vibration power generating part (101) for converting a vibration given from outside into electric power; a power storage part (103) to be charged by the power obtained from the vibration power generating part (101); and a control circuit (104) for outputting a vibration indicating signal (SC1) when the remaining power amount of the power storage part (103) becomes smaller than a prescribed amount. Electronic equipment (12) indicates the user to give the vibration to the remote controller (11) in response to the vibration indicating signal (SC1). COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
A controllable switch, a dual-control switch, and a control system including a controllable switch includes a wireless communication module and a switch component. The wireless communication module is coupled to the switch component. The wireless communication module is configured to send a control instruction to the switch component in response to receiving a switching request. The switch component is configured to switch from a first state to a second state after receiving the control instruction. The first state is one of a turning-on state and a turning-off state, and the second state is the other one of the turning-on state and the turning-off state.
Abstract:
Described herein are systems, methods, devices, and other techniques for implementing smart windows, smart home systems that include smart windows, and user devices and applications for control thereof. A smart window, or photovoltaic window, may include a photovoltaic configured to generate electrical power from incident light onto the photovoltaic window, store the electrical power, and send the electrical power to an electronics package or various electrical loads including a wireless communication system, sensors, or window functions. The photovoltaic window may communicate with various smart home system devices such as hub devices and user devices, which may include the reception of control data at the photovoltaic window and the transmission of sensor data captured by the window sensors.
