Abstract: Data indicative of topography of an object of interest is received at a recognition system having an associated database in which is stored topography data for a plurality of reference objects each of which is cross-referenced to configuration information for a universal controlling device. The reference system uses the received data and the topography data for the plurality of reference objects to discern one or more reference objects as being a match for the object of interest. At least a subset of the configuration information that has been cross-referenced to the one or more reference objects discerned by the recognition system as being a match for the object of interest is then used to configure the universal controlling device to enable the universal controlling device to communicate commands to one or more target appliances.

Abstract: The system and method provide for a small, low-power device, e.g., a Bluetooth® device, in a carryable or wearable form, that allows a controlled device to respond to the presence of the user. The device may be worn on one's person and allow other devices, by means of Bluetooth® pairing and protocols, to detect the presence of a user. The controller or controlling device may emit a signal in the vicinity of the user to allow the controlled device to know whether or not the controlling device is present, and the signal may be a pulse of data that is transmitted every few seconds. The pulse of data between the transmitter and the receiver may be encrypted to be used for higher-security applications as a means of dual-factor authentication. The presence of the user may be employed to control a device, e.g., to control access to a computer, to unlock/lock doors, to turn lights on and off, and so on.

Abstract translation: 该系统和方法以便携式或可佩戴形式提供小型，低功率设备（例如，蓝牙设备），其允许受控设备响应于用户的存在。 该设备可能佩戴在自己的人身上，并通过Bluetooth®配对和协议允许其他设备来检测用户的存在。 控制器或控制设备可以在用户附近发出信号，以允许受控设备知道控制设备是否存在，并且该信号可以是每几秒发送的数据脉冲。 发射机和接收机之间的数据脉冲可以被加密以用于较高安全性的应用，作为双因素认证的手段。 用户的存在可以用于控制设备，例如控制对计算机的访问，解锁/锁定门，打开和关闭灯等。

Abstract: A method for a radio control transmit controller communicating with exactly one radio control receiver is provided. Two or more identifiers are stored in a radio control transmit controller. Each identifier is an identifier of a radio control transmit controller. The transmit controller receives a link request from a first radio control receiver. The link request includes an identifier of the first receiver. The transmit controller determines if the identifier of the first receiver is in the two or more identifiers. If the identifier of the first receiver is in the two or more identifiers, the transmit controller transmits a link response to the first receiver.

Abstract: A remote menu control function mapping set including user interface control commands that control operation of a second device is obtained at a first device from the second device. The user interface control commands are encoded using a shared cross-communication library that defines a user interface sharing protocol. A menu that maps the encoded user interface control commands to menu items using the shared cross-communication library is generated. The generated menu is displayed on a display of the first device. A selection of a menu item from the displayed menu is detected. An encoded user interface control command that is mapped to the selected menu item is sent to the second device. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing registration at a remote site that may include, for example, a monitoring module that may communicate with a remote site. A registration protocol may be used by the monitoring module and the remote site in generating the messages communicated during the registration process. The monitoring module may gather and generate various identification information to be included in the registration protocol messages. The registration information provided by the monitoring module maybe stored at the remote site in a database server having a database. A confirmation message may be communicated from the remote site to the monitoring module that may either acknowledge successful registration or report that an error occurred during the registration process.
