CONTROL APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18357740 titled 'CONTROL APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a control apparatus that communicates with an external apparatus through a coaxial cable and receives power through the same cable. It consists of a first functional unit, a second functional unit, a power supply unit, and a control unit. The power supply unit supplies power to the functional units using the power from the coaxial cable. The control unit receives control instructions from the external apparatus and controls the first and second functional units accordingly. It also controls the execution timings of the first and second control operations based on the operation contents and operation states of the functional units.

  • The control apparatus communicates with an external apparatus via a coaxial cable.
  • It receives power supply through the same coaxial cable.
  • The apparatus consists of a first functional unit and a second functional unit.
  • A power supply unit supplies power to the functional units using the power from the coaxial cable.
  • A control unit controls the first and second functional units based on control instructions received from the external apparatus.
  • The control unit also controls the execution timings of the first and second control operations based on the operation contents and operation states of the functional units.

Potential Applications:

  • Home automation systems
  • Industrial control systems
  • Remote monitoring and control systems

Problems Solved:

  • Simplifies the wiring and power supply requirements by using a single coaxial cable for communication and power supply.
  • Enables control of multiple functional units through a single control apparatus.
  • Provides flexibility in controlling the execution timings of control operations based on the operation contents and states of the functional units.

Benefits:

  • Reduced installation complexity and cost due to the use of a single coaxial cable for communication and power supply.
  • Improved efficiency and control accuracy by controlling the execution timings based on operation contents and states.
  • Enhanced scalability and flexibility in controlling multiple functional units.


Original Abstract Submitted

A control apparatus communicates with an external apparatus via a coaxial cable and receives supply of power via the coaxial cable. The apparatus comprising: a first functional unit; a second functional unit; a power supply unit configured to supply power to the first and the second functional units by using power supplied via the coaxial cable; and a control unit configured to control the first and the second control units in accordance with a control instruction received from the external apparatus. The control unit controls execution timings of a first control operation and a second control operation based on (i) operation contents of the first control operation to be executed, (ii) operation contents of the second control operation to be executed, (iii) an operation state of the first functional unit, and (iv) an operation state of the second functional unit.
