Abstract:
A wireless control device includes a power source, one or more sensors, one or more switches, a wireless transceiver circuit, an antenna connected to the wireless transceiver circuit, and a processor communicably coupled to the power source, the one or more sensors, the one or more switches, and the wireless transceiver circuit. The processor receives a data from the one or more sensors or the one or more switches, determines a pre-defined action associated with the data that identifies one or more external devices and one or more tasks, and transmits one or more control signals via the wireless transceiver circuit and the antenna that instruct the identified external device(s) to perform the identified task(s).
Abstract:
Described herein are implementations for using a remote control device to control a target device on a network. An exemplary remote control device may generate a data packet comprising a command for controlling the target device and a network address associated with the target device. The remote control device may establish a connection to an infrastructure device on the network, and transmit the data packet to the infrastructure device. The infrastructure device may multicast the data packet to a plurality of IoT devices on the network. An IoT device, of the plurality of IoT devices, may execute the command based on determining, using the network address, that the IoT device is the target device.
Abstract:
A remote control device having capacitive touch controls may be configured to enter a sleep state (or mode). For example, the remote control device may be configured to enter the sleep state upon expiration of an interval of time since a most recent button press. The remote control may be configured to awaken from the sleep state when one or more portions of a housing of the remote control are deflected, for example, when a user grasps the remote control to actuate one or more of the capacitive touch controls. For example, the remote control device may include a switch. The switch may include a carbon structure that may be configured to contact an open circuit pad on a circuit board to close the corresponding circuit when the housing is deflected and awaken the remote control device from the sleep state.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a tracking device featuring a housing, which preferably is closed, waterproof, perhaps made from a synthetic material, and free of pressure switches or other man-machine interface, unless rudimentary at best, are disclosed. Typically, the tracking device comprises attachment means for its attachment to the object, which are suited to the object type. At best, its external shape is adapted to that of the object in such a way that the tracking device hardly vibrates or rattles during transport of the object. By virtue of its shape or by virtue of its attachment means, it is suitable for durable attachment to its object. Ideally, a tracking device measures only a few centimeters, or is even smaller. It should be suitable for being hidden in the object or for being separable therefrom only with difficulty. For such reasons alone, tracking devices differ from mobile telephones and the like.
Abstract:
A radio wave receiver includes a receiver controller that performs a signal capturing action in regular or irregular intervals to capture data transmitted on radio waves from a remote terminal in synchronization with the signal capturing action. The receiver controller includes a correctness determination unit and a capturing frequency setting unit. The correctness determination unit calculates an error rate or a correctness rate of the data captured by the receiver controller to determine the correctness of the captured data. The capturing frequency setting unit sets a capturing frequency indicating the number of times the signal capturing action is performed during a certain period in accordance with the correctness of the captured data.
Abstract:
In a known air conditioner, when the operation setting of the air conditioner is changed from a visiting destination or the like by a user using a terminal, another user in an air-conditioned space in which the air conditioner is provided may misunderstand the change as a malfunction of the air conditioner. A sound notification controller (sound notification unit) of an air conditioner is arranged such that, when an operation change instruction is supplied from a terminal different from a remote controller which is an accessory of the air conditioner, the air conditioner notifies by a message that the operation change instruction is supplied from the terminal, in response to the operation change instruction supplied from the terminal.
Abstract:
A secure remote actuation system may comprise a central signal switch and a remote input receptor. The central signal switch may comprise one or more acceptable inputs. The remote input receptor may comprise a user interface for receiving one or more user inputs from a user. The remote input receptor may further comprise a microcontroller for obtaining and comparing the acceptable inputs to the user inputs. In the present invention, the microcontroller obtains the one or more acceptable inputs from the central signal switch after the user begins to use the user interface.
Abstract:
A remote control device may be configured to be mounted over the toggle actuator of a light switch and to control a load control device. The remote control device may include a base portion and a rotating portion supported by the base portion so as to be rotatable about the base portion. The remote control device may include a control circuit, a wireless communication circuit, and a rotary encoder circuit. The rotary encoder circuit may be configured to translate a force applied to the rotating portion into input signals, and to operate as an antenna of the remote control device. The rotary encoder circuit may be configured to provide the input signals to the control circuit. The control circuit may be configured to translate the one or more input signals into control signals for transmission to the load control device via the wireless communication circuit.
