Abstract:
Mittels einer an einem Bedienhandgerät (1) angeordneten Bildsensorik (2) wird ein Bild (B) erfasst. Mittels einer am Bedienhandgerät (1) angeordneten RFID-Sensorik (3) werden RFID-Signale (S) erfasst. Das erfasste Bild (B) wird mit zu erkennenden Maschinenumgebungen (B') verglichen. Den zu erkennenden Maschinenumgebungen (B') sind zu erkennende RFID-Signale (S') zugeordnet. Die erfassten RFID-Signale (S) werden mit den zu erkennenden RFID-Signalen (S') verglichen. In dem Fall, dass das erfasste Bild (B) mit einer der zu erkennenden Maschinenumgebungen (B') übereinstimmt und die erfassten RFID-Signale (S) mit den der erkannten Maschinenumgebung (B') zugeordneten zu erkennenden RFID-Signalen (S') übereinstimmen, wird Betätigungselementen (6) und Anzeigeelementen (7) des Bedienhandgeräts (1) ein der erkannten Maschinenumgebung (B') zugeordnetes Menü (M') zugeordnet. Anderenfalls wird den Betätigungselementen (6) und Anzeigeelementen (7) des Bedienhandgeräts (1) kein Menü zugeordnet.
Abstract:
A remote controller is arranged for selecting a light source among a plurality of light sources. The remote controller has an omnidirectional transmitter and is arranged to instruct, by means of the omnidirectional transmitter, the light sources to transmit a directional signal comprising a code, which is unique for each light source. Further, the remote controller has a directional signal receiver, and is arranged to receive the directional signals from the light sources, and signal comparison circuitry connected with the directional signal receiver. The remote controller is arranged to select one of the light sources on basis of the received directional signals. Furthermore, the remote controller comprises a transmission indicator, which is arranged to generate an indication signal, indicative of a successful omnidirectional transmission, and it is arranged to initiate the selection of one of the light sources by means of the indication signal.
Abstract:
In response to a detected presence of an intended target appliance within a logical topography of controllable appliances identity information associated with the intended target appliance is used to automatically add to a graphical user interface of a controlling device an icon representative of the intended target appliance and to create at a Universal Control Engine a listing of communication methods for use in controlling corresponding functional operations of the intended target appliance. When the icon is later activated, the controlling device is placed into an operating state appropriate for controlling functional operations of the intended target appliance while the Universal Control Engine uses at least one of the communication methods to transmit at least one command to place the intended target appliance into a predetermined operating state.
