摘要:
Environment controllers for the configuration and control of a plurality of smart light fixtures. A master environment controller exchange data with a fixture management server and a plurality of slave environment controllers. Each slave environment controller is in charge of controlling a plurality of light fixtures. The master environment controller receives a command targeting a particular light fixture from the fixture management server. The environment controller determines a target slave environment controller in charge of controlling the particular light fixture, among the plurality of slave environment controllers. The master environment controller forwards the received command to the target slave environment controller. The target slave environment controller further transmits the forwarded command to the particular light fixture. Alternatively, an independent environment controller is in charge of controlling a plurality of light fixtures under the direct supervision of a fixture management server, without using an intermediate master environment controller.

An environment control device (ECD) providing a Wi-Fi hotspot for accessing the Internet. The ECD comprises a communication module with a Wi-Fi hotspot functionality for establishing a Wi-Fi hotspot at the ECD, and a mesh client functionality for communicating over a mesh network. The communication module provides for exchanging environmental data with at least another ECD, over one of the Wi-Fi hotspot or mesh network. It also provides for receiving upstream Internet data from at least one user terminal over the Wi-Fi hotspot, and forwarding the upstream Internet data to another ECD over the mesh network. It further provides for receiving downstream Internet data from another ECD over the mesh network, and forwarding the downstream Internet data to the at least one user terminal over the Wi-Fi hotspot. The ECD providing the Wi-Fi hotspot for accessing the Internet may be a daisy-chained ECD controlled by a master ECD.

Memory device comprising flash memory and method for controlling a write speed of a bus transmitting data for storage on the flash memory. The flash memory of the memory device comprises a plurality of physical blocks for writing data transmitted over the bus from a host device to the memory device. The writing of data in any one of the plurality of physical blocks is preceded by an erase of the physical block. The memory device also comprises a memory device controller controlling a write speed of the bus. The write speed of the bus defines a transmission rate at which data are transmitted over the bus from the host device to the memory device, for further writing on the flash memory. The control of the write speed of the bus comprises adapting the transmission rate based on a number of physical blocs erased.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to an environment control device (ECD) and a method using a wireless communication infrastructure for exchanging environmental data. The wireless communication infrastructure comprises a first Wi-Fi hotspot, and at least one of a second Wi-Fi hotspot and a mesh network. The ECD comprises a communication module for exchanging environmental data with at least another device over the wireless communication infrastructure. The communication module is capable of establishing the first Wi-Fi hotspot, associating with the second Wi-Fi hotspot, and communicating over the mesh network. The ECD further comprises a processing module capable of processing environmental data received from the other device via the wireless communication infrastructure, and/or transmitting generated environmental data to the other device via the wireless communication infrastructure. The ECD may consist of an environment controller, a sensor, a controlled appliance, and a relay for wired devices.

A master device, daisy-chained devices, and a method for configuring the daisy-chained devices are provided. The master device generates a signal having a pre-determined base frequency, and outputs the signal generated to a first device in the daisy chain communication configuration. Each daisy-chained device receives an input signal, having an input frequency, from a previous daisy-chained device. Each daisy-chained device generates an output signal having an output frequency different to and based on the input frequency of the received signal, and outputs the output signal to a following daisy-chained device. Each daisy-chained device further determines an address of a communication interface, for exchanging data with the master device, based on the input frequency of the received signal. For example, the output frequency of the output signal is half the input frequency of the received signal.

The present disclosure relates to an environment control device (ECD) and a method. The ECD and method comprise a first communication interface, a second communication interface of the Wi-Fi type, and a processing unit. The processing unit sends a DHCP-DISCOVER message via the first communication interface. The processing unit also configures the ECD to operate the second communication interface as a Wi-Fi Access Point if a DHCP-OFFER message is received in response to the DHCP-DISCOVER message via the first communication interface. The processing unit also configures the ECD to operate the second communication interface as a Wi-Fi hotspot if no DHCP-OFFER message is received in response to the DHCP-DISCOVER message via the first communication interface.
