DEVICE CONTROL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240133571 titled 'DEVICE CONTROL SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a device control system that includes a wireless device, a handheld operation terminal, and a wireless operation terminal. The wireless device is connected to a wireless LAN router and a device to be controlled, while the handheld operation terminal operates the device to be controlled. The wireless operation terminal, which is different from the handheld operation terminal, operates the device to be controlled via an external connector. When the wireless device receives an information acquisition request from the handheld operation terminal, it selectively transmits the necessary information to connect the wireless operation terminal to the external connector.
- Wireless device with a device to be controlled and external connector
- Handheld operation terminal with a display unit for controlling the device
- Wireless operation terminal operating the device via external connector
- Selective transmission of necessary information from wireless device to handheld operation terminal
