Abstract:
Group size indications may be distributed from a base station to a mobile station in the form of assignment-advanced-MAP transmit control signaling. The signaling control information may be sent to a station, such as a mobile station, using a table that indicates the size of a group based on coding rates, such as one-half and one-quarter coding rates. Waste may be controlled by determining a size based on using an unoccupied resource in a group that is adjacent to data resource for data transmission by the station. However, an unoccupied resource in a group that is not adjacent to a data resource is not used for data transmission and is, therefore, wasted.
Abstract:
A network communication system (2) comprises: a controlled network device (11) comprising a communication facility (16) for receiving a command signal (Sc); at least one remote control (20) for controlling at least one of the network devices (11), the remote control comprising a communication facility (26) for receiving and transmitting signals; one coordinator (40) comprising a communication facility (46) for receiving and transmitting signals, and a network definition memory (47) containing network definition information defining the network and the relationship between network components. The remote control comprises a backup memory (27) containing a backup copy of the network definition information. The remote control is capable of operating in a restoration mode in which the remote control transmits a restoration signal (SR) containing the network definition information from the backup memory. The coordinator is responsive to the restoration signal by storing the received network definition information into its network definition memory.
Abstract:
A device for receiving a primary remote control signal and sending a secondary remote control signal where the primary remote control signal and the secondary remote control signal have the same signal- format, and where the secondary remote control signal comprises a secondary information value based upon a primary information value which is comprised by the primary remote control signal, is disclosed. The device is thus capable of eavesdropping on signals sent from a remote controller to a controllable device, and send secondary remote control signals which can be read by the controllable device.
Abstract:
Le procédé régit le fonctionnement d'une installation domotique comprenant une télécommande nomade, un relais et des équipements domotiques et dans laquelle au moins certains équipements domotiques peuvent recevoir par voie non filaire des ordres de commande émis par la télécommande nomade. Le procédé est tel que des ordres de commande peuvent être émis sélectivement selon un scénario vers les équipements domotiques sur le même support de communication par le relais lors de la réception par celui-ci d'un ordre spécifique émis par la télécommande nomade à destination du relais et le procédé est tel qu'un même appui sur un bouton de la télécommande peut mettre en oeuvre une multitude de scénarii.
Abstract:
A TV detects the capabilities of connected components to respond to various function commands. Subsequently, when a non-programmable remote control is used to select a component and then generate a function command, the TV determines if the component can respond to the command and if not, the TV dynamically alters the commanded function or the selected component.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for data stream control for network devices. Some embodiments of an apparatus include a receiver to receive a token for a command associated with a stream of data, where the command is one of multiple command types. The token has a fixed size and format, and the token is provided in a field of a data packet. The apparatus further includes a network unit to determine the type of command based on the token, to parse a set of fields in the data packet for command data, and implement the command.
Abstract:
A controller (100) is connected to one or more media devices (101-105). Each media device includes an associated native remote control (111-115). The controller includes a data store comprising one or more descriptions of remote control protocols. The user presses a button on the native remote control. The controller receives a resulting signal and compares the signal against the stored remote control protocols. After at least one and preferably less than three key presses, the controller identifies a single remote control protocol associated with the received signals, and thus identifies the media device whose remote control is being used. The user may subsequently use a controller remote control to issue commands to the media device through the controller. The controller may identify a plurality of media devices, and allow the user to issue complex commands. The controller may receive updates to its data store from a server through a network connection (106).
Abstract:
Ein Verfahren zur Fernsteuerung von mehreren Industrie-, Bau- oder Mobilhydraulikgeräten wie Krane, Laufkatzen o. ä. mittels n Fernsteuereinheiten (S1...Sn) weist den Fernsteuereinheiten k Konzentratoren (K1...Kk) zu, wobei die Zahl (k) der Konzentratoren geringer ist als die Anzahl (n) der Fernsteuereinheiten. Vorzugsweise ist nur ein gemeinsamer Konzentrator (K) vorgesehen. Der Konzentrator (K) versieht die Signale der Steuerkanäle mit einer geeigneten Adresse und sendet sie über ein gemeinsames Datennetz, beispielsweise das Stromversorgungsnetz (AC), an das Konezntrator (K) und Steuergeräte (ST1 ...STm) für die m Aggregate der zu steuernden Industriegeräte angeschlossen sind, wo ein Signal anhand seiner Adresse vom betroffenen Steuergerät erkannt und in das Steuersignal zur Betätigung des zugehörigen Aggregates umgesetzt wird.
