摘要:
A method and a device for joining a remotely controlled switching and current sensing AC device structured for attachment to standard and popular three way SPDT AC switches or cross DPDT AC switches and/or power outlets, such that the front wall plate of a single gang electrical box will cover the joined AC device with the manual switch or the AC outlet. The AC device is operated and communicates via lightguide or fiber optic cable using two way optical signals and via IR in air in line of sight and/or via RF in air. The lightguide is cascaded in series from one AC device to another and/or from a joint switch device to a joined AC outlet and to an optoport in front of an outlet socket for communicating the current drain and/or operation controls with the appliance, powered by the AC socket, via a lightguide included in the power cable with plug assembly of the appliance.

A method for connecting an AC powered device, which has an optical receiver, with a control circuit, which has an optical transmitter, using at least on optical medium cable includes the steps of terminating the cable at both of its ends, introducing the processed cable between the receiver and transmitter, attaching and securing one end of the processed cable to the transmitter and the other end of the processed cable to the receiver, and propagating a one way optical signal including control commands from the control circuit to the powered device.
摘要:
In a method and apparatus for propagating optical signals via optical cables such as plastic optical fiber, known as lightguide joint and mingled with the electrical wiring and home automation system for controlling LED illuminators enclosed in standard screw type bulb bases or plug-in bases, such as used for halogen lamp via optical signal propagated through such standard bases. Same optical signals are propagated through power outlets and via power cable assemblies to electrical appliances for controlling the appliances operation and on-off switching. Full range of control, distribution, signal conversion, keypads and touch screen including video interphones monitors and shopping terminals operate and controls such home automation via the optical cables.

A method for coupling at least one of a wall mount and a ceiling mount adjustable IR driver with a two way IR network of a home automation system controlled by a main controller selected from a group comprising a dedicated controller, a video interphone and a shopping terminal, the IR driver includes a plurality of adjustable IR transmitters and at least one IR receiver for propagating IR commands to at least one of hand held IR remote control units, electrical appliances and devices selected from a group comprising a remotely operated relays, an AC current sensors and a keypads, and for receiving from at least one of the devices a status data, said IR commands include at least a power on-off command for switching an appliance on and off and the status data pertaining to the on and off statuses of a commanded appliance.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for connecting and operating plurality of lockers in a multi apartment or multi office building connected via an interface to a video interphone system and via a local guardman or a virtual guardman over a network, for providing access to the building and opening a locker for a deliveryman to deliver packages, parcels and ordered goods. The tenants receiving a message through their video interphone monitor can retrieve the deliveries by opening the specific locker from their video interphone monitor, through the entry panel and through associated accessories.

摘要:
In a method and apparatus for connecting an e-shopping facility such as an e-concierge station or an e-service or an e-merchandise provider including a custom software, with an e-shopping appliance, such as a television interphone monitor or a shopping terminal, or a television receiver including central processing unit and a memory, via a communication network such as a private network, public network or the internet and through an interface unit, wherein e-shopping tenant software programs complementing the custom software of the e-shopping facility are installed into the memory of the central processing unit which enables the central processing unit to select and process orders for e-service and/or e-merchandise on the basis of the installed tenant programs. A shopping signal of a compiled order is generated and propagated between the shopping appliance and the interface unit and processed through the interface unit. An interfaced shopping signal is then communicated between the interface unit and the e-shopping facility.
摘要:
A method and system for converting coded serial video signal into a serial IP video signal, including steps of receiving the coded serial video signal and detecting the serial video timing, converting the serial video signal to a serial sequence of packets each consisting of a converted individual digital video signal, and extracting and decoding the identification code of each individual video signal of the coded serial video signal. The method and system also perform steps of applying a conversion program for assigning IP addresses including at least a source address and a destination address for each decoded identification code, generating IP packets by adding to each of the packets its assigned IP addresses, and feeding the IP packets to a network one after another in the serial sequence.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for measuring the performances of a camera including illumination, signal levels, signal to noise ratio, resolution, spectrum, color vectors and displaying the measured values in alphanumeric, waveforms, graphs and vectors onto a displayed scene generated by a camera under test, thereby enabling the user to better comprehend the meaning and verify the camera specifications and their fitness.
摘要:
A television camera apparatus for surveillance applications has a housing including a ball-shaped camera case which has a transparent front portion. An inlet for an electrical cable is provided at the rear end of the camera case. The housing has a rear holder which can be attached and tightened to a structural body such as a electrical box mounted to a surface of a wall or a ceiling and a front cover which can be also attached and tightening of the front cover to the rear holder. Each of the rear holder and front cover has a circular cutout with a curved rim. A curvature diameter of the curved rims of the cutouts is equal to the diameter of the ball-shaped camera case which can be locked between the circular cutouts of the rear holder and the front cover.
