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.
Abstract:
A remote controlling device is disclosed that includes one or more motion sensors configured to sense a motion of the device. The remote control further includes a capacitive sensor and a power source. The capacitive sensor selectively couples the power source to the one or more motion sensors.
Abstract:
System, method and computer program product for determining a polling schedule for a remote control, are described. A multimedia device collects usage data that identifies when the multimedia device is in use. The probability that the multimedia device is in use for a particular time is determined based on the usage data. A polling schedule is generated based on the usage probability such that the periods in the polling schedule vary according to the usage probability to minimize energy consumption. The polling schedule is then transmitted to the remote control where the remote control polls the multimedia device according to the polling schedule.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present invention include a device comprising a memory storing instructions and a processing circuit executing the instructions to detect a first user action. The instructions may further include instructions to establish a first user action state based on the detected first user action, designate a first mode based on the first user action state, determine if a second user action, consistent with a first detection condition associated with the first mode, has taken place, when the second user action has taken place, establish a second user action state based on the second user action, and designate a second mode based on the second user action state, the second mode consuming more power than the first mode.
Abstract:
A keyless entry system includes a first communication apparatus and a second communication apparatus. The first communication apparatus includes first transmitter, first receiver, and first two-way communication device. The second communication apparatus includes second receiver, second transmitter, and second two-way communication device. The first communication apparatus or the second communication apparatus includes electric field strength detector. In a case where the first communication apparatus and the second communication apparatus are not connected to each other through two-way communication or electric field strength detected by the electric field strength detector is less than a predetermined value, the first communication apparatus stops a call function of the first transmitter or the second communication apparatus stops a wait function of the second receiver.
Abstract:
Provided is a remote control system with which leakage current flowing in a switch can be reduced so that power consumption can be reduced. The remote control system includes a portable information terminal, a server, and an electric device. The on/off of the switch included in the electric device is controlled using information transmitted from the portable information terminal to the server. The switch includes a transistor formed using a semiconductor whose band gap is larger than that of single crystal silicon in a channel formation region.
Abstract:
A remote control device includes a flat, plate-like display to display a state of settings of the air-conditioning apparatus or a control command; a touch panel provided on or under the display to receive input of a control command for the air-conditioning apparatus through detection of a change in an electric signal, the change occurring when a display position of the display is touched; a transmitter to transmit to the air-conditioning apparatus a signal of the control command input through the touch panel; and a start/stop button provided at a position different from the touch panel and configured to trigger start of operation of or stop of operation of the air-conditioning apparatus.
Abstract:
A remote control system includes an in-vehicle controller that is installed in a vehicle and controls in-vehicle devices installed in the vehicle; a mobile communication device that remotely controls the in-vehicle devices via the in-vehicle controller; and a wireless communication device that is installed in the vehicle and intervenes and establishes wireless communication between the in-vehicle controller and the mobile communication device, wherein the wireless communication device includes a reception-mode switching unit that switches between a reception standby mode with consumption of a standby current to prepare for reception from the mobile communication device and a reception dormant mode without consumption of a standby current in accordance with a time schedule.
Abstract:
Methods and systems to achieve highly efficient rotational machine integrity determinations in which at least one sensor (106) senses indicia (105) such as time-varying rotational indicia from a rotational motive apparatus (103) and a processor (108) may provide many different functions including but not limited to operational function energy apportioning decisional processing, data compression, intelligent hierarchical data ranking, differential data processing, or the like perhaps to generate information (109) such as a rotational integrity abridgment transmissor to which an abridgment transmissor electromagnetic signal (112) may be created and perhaps even transmitted from a rotational motive apparatus to facilitate a machine integrity determination.
