Abstract:
A smart home network system includes a number of traditional home devices having wireless communication function, a smart gateway, and a plurality of signal conversion devices. When the smart gateway wants to control a traditional home device, the smart gateway sends a cable control signal to a related signal conversion device in the area where the target traditional home device is placed. The related signal conversion device receives the cable control signals from the smart gateway, and converts the cabled control signal into a wireless control signal conforming to the wireless communication function type of the target tradition home device, then transmits the wireless control signal to the target traditional home device. Therefore, the traditional home devices with wireless communication function can be connected into the system, and be controlled by the smart gateway.

Abstract:
A Wi-Fi/radio frequency (RF) converting device includes a Wi-Fi transceiver, a multiplexing converting module, and a RF transceiver. The Wi-Fi transceiver receives a Wi-Fi control signal from a control signal generator. The multiplexing converting module receives the Wi-Fi control signal from the Wi-Fi transceiver and converts the Wi-Fi control signal into a RF control signal. The RF transceiver receives the RF control signal from the multiplexing converting module and sends the RF control signal to a plurality of electric elements. An RF extension device may be provided to share the signal transmission between the electric elements and the Wi-Fi/RF converting device.
Abstract:
When a controlled device receives a change command from a control device, the controlled device changes a real current memory, generates a change notification that includes first data indicative of the control device having transmitted the change command and second data indicative of the change result in response to the change command, and transmits the generated change notification to the plurality of control devices. Each control device receives a change notification from the controlled devices, changes a virtual current memory based on the second data of the change notification if the first data of the change notification does not indicate the control device. Each control device does not change the virtual current based on the second data included in the change notification if the first data indicates the control device.
Abstract:
A content access device and system may allow portable remote devices to be paired with a variety of different devices, allowing remote control through a network connection. Content access devices may expose application program interfaces, allowing incoming network traffic to control operation of the device much in the same way that a local infrared remote would. Routing content commands through an external application server may also yield other benefits, such as allowing more customized selection of information and advertising content to users based on their viewing history.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a fireplace apparatus having a remote automatic control function. The fireplace apparatus is capable of automatically controlling opening and closing of an air supply passage mounted below a combustion chamber corresponding to a detected temperature of the fireplace, displaying information related to an ignition state, a key selection state, a heating power setting state and key buttons for key selection, preventing foreign materials from being adhered to an electric heating member by a cover, and enabling a user to carry out remote ignition control, air amount control and temperature setting at a remote location. Accordingly, initial ignition can be stably achieved and the air supply amount is automatically controlled corresponding to the temperature of the combustion chamber. A user can achieve remote ignition or ignition reservation, and ignition and combustion are carried out at an optimum time according to the indoor temperature and time for returning home.
Abstract:
A controlled device generates an authentication random number. A control device accepts input of a random number from an input device. The controlled device verifies if the displayed authentication random number and the random number transferred from the control device are identical to transfer a public key of the controlled device to the control device. The controlled device generates a token. The control device encrypts the token with the public key of the controlled device. The controlled device decrypts the token and verifies if the token transferred from the control device and the generated token are identical to generate a session key. The control device stores the session key into the storage device. The control device controlling the controlled device by encrypted communication using the session key.
Abstract:
A terminal apparatus and a method for controlling a terminal apparatus includes a sensor for collecting user data in real time; a processor for determining whether the user data satisfies a preset control condition, and generating a control instruction if it satisfies the preset control condition, wherein, the control instruction instructs a second terminal apparatus to execute a target operation; and a transmitter transmitting the control instruction to the second terminal apparatus by using a communication link with the second terminal apparatus, so as to facilitate the second terminal apparatus to be able to execute the target operation according to the control instruction. The terminal apparatus and the method for controlling terminal apparatus can make another terminal apparatus to satisfy current requirement of a user by controlling another terminal apparatus by the terminal apparatus without an instruction issued by the user.
Abstract:
A control method of a gateway communicating with at least one sensor and a service server is provided. The control method may include receiving, from the at least one sensor, first information comprising at least one of bioinformation, disaster prevention information, and public information, transmitting the first information to the service server when the first information meets a first standard, or processing the first information in a data format of the first standard and transmitting the processed first information to the service server when the first information does not meet the first standard, receiving, from the service server, a control command to control the at least one sensor, and transmitting the control command to a sensor corresponding to the control command.
Abstract:
A control signal receiver of an equipment control device receives a control signal for equipment transmitted by a remote control terminal from a communication device via the Internet. A remote control authorization receiver receives, from a resident of a home, an authorization with respect to the control signal received by the control signal receiver. When the authorization receiver receives an authorization from the resident of the home, an equipment controller controls the equipment on the basis of the received control signal.
