Discovery Of And Connection To Remote Devices - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240339027 titled 'Discovery Of And Connection To Remote Devices
The abstract of the 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 control device and change 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 automation capabilities

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.
