摘要:
A system for modulating a carrier frequency to support nondestructive bitwise arbitration of a communication medium. The system comprises a first sensor module coupled to a power supply line via a first power line coupling circuit. The first sensor module comprises a first micro-controller and a first transceiver. The first transceiver includes a first transmitter for converting a digital signal received from the first micro-controller into a first analog signal for transmission over the power supply line. The first transmitter includes a first oscillator operating within an allowable frequency deviation to provide a first predetermined onset phase. The system further comprises a second sensor module coupled to the power supply line via a second power line coupling circuit. The second sensor module comprises a second micro-controller and a second transceiver. The second transceiver includes a second transmitter for converting a digital signal received from the second micro-controller into a second analog signal for transmission over the power supply line. The second transmitter includes a second oscillator operating within the allowable frequency deviation to provide a second predetermined onset phase. The second analog signal is different from the first analog signal and the second predetermined onset phase is different from the first predetermined onset phase. The difference between the first predetermined onset phase and the second predetermined onset phase is within a limit.

In a security system using sensors that includes clock-equipped surveillance terminals for sending security data to a surveillance center, one surveillance terminal uses a power supply line to send a time calibration signal to the other surveillance terminals at appropriate times, the surveillance terminals use the signal to eliminate time error among their clocks, the other surveillance terminal use the power supply line to send to the one surveillance terminal time-stamped data, and the one surveillance terminal discriminates operating states of the other surveillance terminals by comparing the receive time and send time of time-stamped data.

A call administration service for processing incoming calls during service activation times. One embodiment permits a subscriber to provision the administration service using configuration files, which provide the capability to establish flexible scenarios for the allowance, denial and routing of incoming calls. The present invention automatically routes authorized incoming calls, and permits unauthorized incoming calls to be routed in accordance with a caller's interactive responses. An embodiment provides multiple methods for interacting with the system, including file and speech input of subscriber provisioning information, and speech input of caller interactive responses.
摘要:
A multimedia surveillance arrangement comprising a surveillance sensor adapted to communicate by a standard communication protocol media representing at least one sensed parameter according, a plurality of networks interconnected by media gateways and at least one network controller, and a surveillance receiver adapted to receive all or part of said media. The network controller also serves as endpoint for media from the surveillance sensor, is adapted to interact with said received media, is responsive to information contained in the received media, and is adapted to communicate an event message and/or all or part of said received media on basis of said information. The multimedia network controller ca be a SIP server or H.323 Gatekeeper, adapted to interact with said surveillance media, for generating an event message.

A network enables remote users to communicate with, and to control a variety of devices whose only electrical connection is to a power line network. In hybrid networks, communications between different network domains is only available if proper message mapping is done. Message mapping leads to the determination of correct frame conversion based on the specifications of protocols identifying different networks. This invention comprises a method that does bi-directional conversion between application level information entered into the remote access device by the user and related physical layer power line communications frames.

An apparatus for carrying electrical data signals and electrical power over a power line is disclosed. The apparatus includes a data processing device, a power supply, and a data signal transceiver. The apparatus also includes an interference filter coupled to the power line and to the power supply and configured to reject electromagnetic interference. A coupling circuit that is electromagnetically coupled to the power line is also disclosed. The coupling circuit is configured to transmit and receive data signals carried through the power line. The coupling circuit is coupled to the data signal transceiver. The data signal transceiver is configured to transmit and receive the data signals to and from the data processing device.
摘要:
A transmitting controller is connected to an AC powerline and on command places a series of signal pulse in the powerline in a series of signal timing windows related to zero voltage crossing points so that the signal pulses are in the powerline temporal quiet zone. The receiving controller is connected to the powerline and has a filter circuit therein which filters away the powerline AC signal and noise to leave the sensed pulses. The sensed pulses are compared to zero voltage crossing points to determine in which signal timing window the pulses have occurred. Digital data is communicated over the powerline in accordance with the placement of the signal pulses related to the particular timing window.

A method and apparatus for disseminating emergency warning information via a telecommunication network via a telecommunication network is disclosed. After a Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) has decided to issue a warning regarding an impending emergency to a specific area, the LEPC dials a group emergency telephone number to issue a warning to any subscriber of the group emergency telephone number. The warning, which may be audio and/or visual, informs the subscriber of the impending emergency and/or the necessary actions that needs to be taken by the subscriber. By sending the warning via a telecommunication network, a large number of people can be contacted with specific details of the impending emergency within a short period of time.
摘要:
A plurality of telecommunications terminals is connected to a network termination of a subscriber. Each of the telecommunications terminals has an interface to the subscriber's in-house power line and is addressable via an individual identification signal. The telecommunications terminals both generate and detect control signals that are transferred over the power line. Such a telecommunications terminal can establish through the power line an alternative call to another telecommunications terminal connected to the subscriber's network termination.

A telephony communication system includes a private network with multiple telephony devices that couples to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). During emergency calls from devices in the private network (such as 911 calls), elements of the private network may provide enhanced services. In response to an appropriate request during the emergency call, the private network may supply detailed location information of the calling device to the operator within the emergency call. The private network may further supply relevant personal information for a user associated with the calling device to the emergency operator during the call. The private network may supply the location information and/or personal information to other personnel, such as an emergency access point or private emergency response personnel. Private network may further conference private emergency response personnel into emergency calls between managed telephony devices and governmental emergency response personnel.
