Discovery Of And Connection To Remote Devices - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18744965 titled 'Discovery Of And Connection To Remote Devices
The abstract of this patent application describes a method that involves receiving a signal indicating the location of a control device for changing the operating state of a controlled device. The method includes identifying visible devices in images, matching them with the control and controlled devices, pairing the control device with a host device, and using the host device to control the operating state of the controlled device.
- The method involves receiving a signal indicating the location of a control device.
- Visible devices in images are identified and matched with the control and controlled devices.
- The control device is paired with a host device for control.
- The host device is used to change the operating state of the controlled device.
Potential Applications: - Home automation systems - Industrial control systems - Security systems
Problems Solved: - Simplifying the process of controlling devices remotely - Improving efficiency in managing multiple devices
Benefits: - Enhanced convenience in device control - Streamlined operation of multiple devices - Increased security through remote monitoring and control
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Home Automation Systems for Enhanced Control and Security" This technology can be applied in smart home systems, industrial automation, and security systems to provide efficient and convenient control of devices.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve the efficiency of controlling devices remotely? - This method simplifies the process by matching visible devices in images with control and controlled devices, allowing for easy and streamlined control. 2. What are the potential security implications of pairing control devices with host devices? - Pairing control devices with host devices can enhance security by enabling remote monitoring and control, increasing overall system security.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method includes receiving a signal that indicates a location of a control device that is configured to change an operating state of a controlled device. The method also includes identifying a first visible device and a second visible device in one or more images, matching the first visible device with the control device based on a location of the first visible device matching the location of the control device, matching the second visible device with the controlled device, pairing the control device with a host device, and controlling the control device using the host device to change the operating state of the controlled device.
