ULTRA-WIDEBAND ENABLED ONE-FOR-ALL SMART REMOTE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17965360 titled 'ULTRA-WIDEBAND ENABLED ONE-FOR-ALL SMART REMOTE
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a method for performing ultra-wideband (UWB) remote control, including broadcasting a control request, receiving reply messages from remote devices, estimating pointing directions to remote devices, determining a selected remote device, and sending a control signal to the selected remote device.
- Broadcasting an initial control request
- Receiving reply messages with identification and power spectrum information
- Estimating pointing directions to remote devices
- Determining a selected remote device
- Sending a control signal to the selected remote device
Potential Applications
The technology described in this patent application could be applied in various remote control systems, such as smart home devices, entertainment systems, and industrial automation.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of accurately controlling multiple remote devices in a UWB environment, improving the user experience and efficiency of remote control operations.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include precise control of remote devices, reduced interference, improved pointing accuracy, and enhanced user interaction with remote control systems.
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology include smart home automation systems, entertainment industry remote controls, industrial control systems, and consumer electronics.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be traditional remote control systems using infrared or radio frequency signals, which may not provide the same level of accuracy and efficiency as UWB remote control methods.

Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure provides methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable mediums for performing ultra-wideband (UWB) remote control. In some embodiments, the method includes broadcasting an initial control request. The method further includes receiving, from one or more remote devices, at least one reply message comprising identification information and power spectrum information. The method further includes estimating, for each of the one or more remote devices, an angle indicating a pointing direction to that remote device relative to the remote control device. The method further includes determining a selected remote device that is being pointed at by the remote control device. The method further includes sending, to the one or more remote devices, a control signal comprising the identification information of the selected remote device and a control message indicating an action to be performed by the selected remote device.
