    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods provide feedback about the quality of communication between a device and a remote control. A wireless signal is sent between a controlled device and the remote control. The quality of the signal can be measured and reported to a user, installer, troubleshooter, customer service agent or other person in any manner. Quality may be determined based upon the strength of the received signal as well as the amount of noise that is present. The quality measurements provide feedback that allows a user, installer, customer service representative or other person to change the positions of the device or the remote control, or to take other actions based upon the quality of the wireless signal that is received.

    Abstract: A repeater apparatus includes a network communication unit that acquires, from a server through a network, first terminal identification information for identifying a terminal to be controlled and control information for controlling the terminal to be controlled, a near-field communication unit that acquires, by near-field communication from the terminal, second terminal identification information for identifying the terminal and stored in the terminal, and a comparison unit that decides whether the first terminal identification information agrees with the second terminal identification information. The near-field communication unit transmits the control information to the terminal by near-field communication, in the case where the comparison unit decides that the first terminal identification information agrees with the second terminal identification information.

    Abstract: A method of user identification in association with an automated furniture item is provided. In embodiments, a user identification method for an automated furniture item utilizes occupancy detection and proximity detection, such as via a BLE PXP. In some embodiments, a system associated with an automated furniture item is provided, which identifies a particular user's smart device (i.e., a device configured to connect to one or more other devices and/or networks, such as a tablet computing device or smartphone) within range of the automated furniture item controller, and generates a corresponding response based on occupancy detection of that particular user. In another embodiment, one or more environment features may be controlled and/or activated, in association with the automated furniture item, based on the coordinated response of both the proximity indication of user identity and the presence detection of a particular user with respect to the automated furniture item.

    Abstract: Described herein are techniques and systems that allow modification of functionalities based on distances between a shared device (e.g., a shared display, etc.) and an individual device (e.g., a mobile computing device, etc.). The shared device and the individual device may establish a communication to enable exchange of data. In some embodiments, the shared device or the individual device may measure a distance between the shared device and the individual device. Based on the distance, the individual device may operate in a different mode. In some instances, the shared device may then instruct the individual device to modify a functionality corresponding to the mode.

    Abstract: A sensor-monitoring application can execute on a mobile device, tablet computer, or other portable device, and facilitates controlling sensors and navigating through sensor data either directly or via a sensor-managing service. A user can monitor feedback from a variety of sensors, such as a motion sensor, a temperature sensor, a door sensor, an electrical sensor. The user may interact with the application's user interface to control and synchronize various sensors, controllers, power switches wirelessly. The user can also control devices, such as by sending a command to a device via an electronic port, or by enabling, disabling, or adjusting a power output from a power outlet that provides power to a device (e.g., to a light fixture).

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a menuing system is overlaid upon a portion of a video being shown on a display device coupled to a programmable multimedia controller. The portion of the video is less than an entire screen of the video such that at least some of the video is still visible. The menuing system has a plurality of selectable options. In response to a scrolling gesture in a direction, an element is moved in a corresponding direction within the menuing system to bring the element to a designated position in the menuing system to permit selection of a particular selectable option. In response to selection of the particular selectable option, one or more control commands are issued to a device coupled to the programmable multimedia controller to control an aspect of operation of the device.

    Abstract: A vehicle computing system enabling one or more processors to establish a communication connection with at least one of a plurality of handheld computing devices within a vehicle while enabling and determining infotainment control based on the location of the handheld device in the vehicle. The system may determine if the at least one of a plurality of handheld computing devices is a driver or non-driver handheld computing device based on a detected location of the communication connection. The system may determine that the at least one of a plurality of handheld computing devices is a non-driver handheld computing device based on the detected location, therefore enabling infotainment control from the non-driver handheld device. The system may determine that the at least one of a plurality of handheld computing devices is a driver handheld computing device based on the detected location, therefore limiting infotainment control from the driver handheld device.
