Abstract: A wireless network that may include one or more access points, one or more wireless controllers and one or more appliances. The one or more access points include, or may be coupled with, a server location agent that operates to determine or estimate the locations of the one or more wireless controllers. Upon determining the location of the one or more wireless controllers, the server location agent may determine a proximity of one or more appliances to the wireless controllers and may cause the wireless controllers to display a customized user interface that may be configured based on proximity to one or more appliances as well as policies and/or historical data. In addition, the appliances in the user's proximity may be automatically switched on and controlled to serve the user.

Abstract: A system and method are provided that use at least one proximity sensor to illuminate a transmitter such that the transmitter can be seen by the user and/or to activate the transmitter so that the user can interface with the transmitter and send code to a receiver via the transmitter to effect an action, such as the opening or closing of a barrier or garage door. The transmitter can also be deactivated so that the proximity sensor is not continually triggering actions by the transmitter thereby potentially causing unwanted actions by the transmitter.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a universal remote control, which includes a display screen and a user input mechanism. The universal remote control also includes a processing unit that is configured to display information on the display screen and to accept selection data from the user input mechanism. The universal remote control additionally includes a wireless communication mechanism that is configured to provide communications between the processing unit and an appliance or computer program running on a computer system. The appliance provides information to be displayed on the display screen, and information entered through the user input mechanism is communicated to the appliance. Since the appliance provides the information to be displayed on the display screen and also interprets the entries on the input mechanism, the universal remote control needs no special knowledge about the appliance.

Abstract: The HMI system is provided with a mobile control and monitoring device for automation components of a technical system. It comprises means for contactless data transmission between the mobile control and monitoring device and the automation components, a manual device for triggering or blocking security relevant operations of the technical system and means for locating the mobile control and monitoring device. Evaluation means are provided for managing an active operational area and which activate the automation components for security-relevant operations of the technical system via the mobile control and monitoring device solely when the manual device is released and the locating means detect that the mobile control and monitoring device is located inside the active operational area, the advantage thereof being that manual triggering of security-relevant operations by an operator is the condition upon which they can be activated via the mobile control and monitoring device. If the manual device is placed directly on the housing of the technical system, for example, an operator has to approach in such a way that he/she enters the active operation are in a secure manner.
