For example, one disclosed embodiment provides, on a computing device, a method comprising detecting a gaze direction of a user, detecting an indication from the user to control a remotely controllable device located in the gaze direction, and adapting a user interface of a controller device to enable user control of the remotely controllable device.
Abstract:
A mobile device (102) includes a position sensing unit (206), a remote control information obtainment unit (212), and a storage unit (213). Position information obtained by the position sensing unit (206) is stored in the storage unit (213) in association with remote control information. The mobile device (102) further includes a directional space obtainment unit (208) and an apparatus specification unit (209). The mobile device (102) recognizes a direction pointed by a user using the mobile device (102), and enables operation of a terminal apparatus (101) existing in the pointing direction.
Abstract:
An industrial-enabled mobile electronic device, such as a personal mobile phone or tablet computer, allows a user to wirelessly interact with industrial devices for a variety of purposes. The mobile electronic device can communicate with an industrial device to read and write configuration settings, read and view log data, send commands to the industrial device, and other such functions. The mobile electronic device can perform various types of analysis on images and video of the industrial device captured by the mobile electronic device, including identifying and translating a model or device number printed on the device, or translating error codes displayed by the industrial device. The mobile electronic device can also retrieve additional information about the industrial device or the device's stored data via interaction with a remote technical support service, and can be used to facilitate dialog with a remote technical support person.
Abstract:
A method for operating a remote control system comprises the method steps of providing a remote control system (1) having an operating unit (3), which has a display (5) and at least one operating element (6), and having a communication unit (4) which has a communication link to the operating unit (3), providing a control unit (8) of a working machine (2), which control unit has a communication link to the communication unit (4), recording an operating unit actual configuration with a plurality of operating and selection menus using the operating unit (3), transmitting the operating unit actual configuration from the operating unit (3) to the control unit (8), recording a working machine actual configuration using the control unit (8), selecting at least one of the operating and selection menus on the basis of the working machine actual configuration, transmitting the at least one operating and selection menu to the operating unit (3), and displaying the at least one operating and selection menu using the display (5).
Abstract:
A method of controlling a light source (105) via a handheld computing device (110) is disclosed. The method comprises receiving an input produced by one or more sensors of the handheld computing device, the input being indicative of a current orientation of the handheld computing device. The method further comprises determining, based at least in part on the input, that the handheld computing device is in a predefined triggering orientation, e.g. in a generally horizontal orientation. In response to so determining, one or more frames of image data are acquired via an image sensor connected to the handheld computing device (110). The method further comprises obtaining an identifier of the light source, e.g. from information encoded into light emitted by the light source (105), having determined that the one or more frames of image data comprise image data representative of the light source (105). The method further comprises transmitting to the light source (105) a command indicative of a desired light setting for the light source (105), which desired light setting may for example have been provided via user input or may be a predefined setting retrieved from memory. A handheld computing device (110) and a lighting system (100) are also disclosed.
