Abstract:
Upon receiving a command signal transmitted from a remote controller (100), based on contents of the received command signal, a setter of an electrical apparatus sets a time interval for prohibition of operation from an operation terminal. During the time interval set by the setter, an operation controller of the electrical apparatus does not control based on the received command signal, even if a command signal transmitted from the operation terminal is received via a HEMS controller.

Abstract:
To accurately determine the nearest electronic device in establishing a pairing with an electronic device to be a target for remote control. A terminal device includes a received signal strength acquiring unit, a device selection processing unit, and a connecting unit. The received signal strength acquiring unit receives a signal transmitted from a plurality of electronic devices and acquires the electric field strength of the received signal. The device selection processing unit selects an electronic device to be a target for connection from the plurality of electronic devices in accordance with a normalized electric field strength that is a value obtained by normalizing the electric field strength of the received signal using a parameter corresponding to and unique to an electronic device that transmits the received signal. The connecting unit establishes a connection with the electronic device selected at the device selection processing unit.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an operating method for a communication device (DC) for remote control of an actuator (ACT) for a piece of mobile equipment (ME) in a building, comprising the steps consisting of: analysing a first received signal (RS) to determine if at least one sequence of the first received signal (RS) can be interpreted as being in accordance with a configuration communication mode which can be used by the communication device (DC); on receipt of at least one sequence of the first received signal which is in accordance with a configuration mode, defining said configuration communication mode (MCi) as the identified configuration communication mode; defining an operational communication mode (MUO) on the basis of the identified configuration communication mode (MCi); receiving a second signal (RS2) according to the operational communication mode (MUO); and interpreting the second received signal (RS2) according to the operational communication mode (MUO), in such a way as to identify control data in the second received signal (RS2).
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a mobile device captures images at a rate different than playback speed. The mobile device receives a user input to initiate a collection of image data by a mobile device. A timer is incremented in response to the collection of image data or in response to the user input. The mobile device compares an elapsed time of the timer to a threshold. The image data is captured at a first frame rate until the elapsed time reaches the threshold and at a second frame rate when the timer exceeds the threshold. A series of thresholds may be used.
