The invention relates to a system composed of an apparatus to treat a fluid and a handheld device, wherein the apparatus has a communication unit with a radio antenna and the handheld device has a communication unit with a radio antenna and both communication units can exchange data with each other by means of radio communication, and the apparatus has a control unit, which can detect at least one status parameter of the apparatus and generate a signal which is dependent on the status parameter and can transfer it via the communication unit of the apparatus to the communication unit of the handheld device.

The disclosed method uses a dongle to program a replacement key fob transmitter to a vehicle. The dongle mates to the vehicle's on-board electronics through the vehicle's existing data link. A diagnostic circuit in the dongle determines a communications protocol for programming the key fob transmitter to the vehicle. Audio and visual indicators indicate that communications are established and the successful programming of the key fob transmitter to the vehicle.

A hand-held device having a touch sensitive surface uses a relative distance from an origin location to each of a plurality of touch zones of the touch sensitive surface activated by a user to select a one of the plurality of touch zones as being intended for activation by the user.

A system to provide circadian-friendly lighting for nighttime hospital care comprising a lighting module and a transmitter tag that interface wirelessly wherein the lighting module comprises red-shifted light spectra, which is proven to be less disruptive to melatonin production than current blue-shifted hospital lighting; wherein the light output of the devices is modulated by the proximity of a tag to the device, with light intensity increasing with closer proximity between these two components and decreasing with increased distance, thereby providing hands-free lighting to caregivers in the specific locations where they need light to perform care tasks.

The present invention relates to a device capable of controlling a flying bot and a control method therefor, the device comprising: a communication unit for performing wireless communication with the flying bot; a display unit for displaying image information related to the control of the flying bot; a user input unit for controlling a flying state of the flying bot and a function which can be performed by the flying bot; a detection unit for detecting at least one of a rotating direction, a moving direction and a tilt state of the flying bot; and a control unit for receiving, from the flying bot, information about a location and/or a surrounding situation of the flying bot through the communication unit and changing a flight control manner of the flying bot on the basis of the received result, wherein, according to the changed flight control manner of the flying bot, the control unit determines, on the basis of a location of a user, the moving direction and the rotating direction of the flying bot according to an input into the user input unit.

An image processing terminal for performing a different operation according to a force input and upgrade of software and a method of upgrading the software are disclosed. The image processing terminal comprises a processor, a memory connected to the processor and a communication unit configured to receive a control signal having information concerning a force input from a remote controller or receive control command information and updated control command information from a computer processing device or a storage device, according to a selection of a key by a user. Here, the memory stores program commands by which the processor performs different operations or different screens according to the control command information or the updated control command information though the control signal corresponding to the force input to the same key is received from the remote controller.

A data storage of a communication device stores a communication parameter. A communication parameter responder of a controller, upon receipt from a control device, via a communicator, of a communication parameter request-command indicating a communication parameter request, reads and acquires the communication parameter stored in the data storage. The communication parameter responder generates a response command containing the acquired communication parameter and sends the response command to the control device via the communicator.

A control processing method of an electric device for implementing an operation content indicated by an operation command received from a control terminal, the method including a step of discriminating whether the received operation command is a predetermined operation command, and a step of notifying the control terminal that the operation content indicated by the operation command has not been implemented without implementing the operation content indicated by the operation command, in a case where the received operation command is the predetermined operation command. Therefore, in a case where a command specification of an industry standard is designed, although the electric device receives an unsupported command, it is possible to obtain that the electric device is smoothly controlled.

A hand-held device having a touch sensitive surface uses a relative distance from an origin location to each of a plurality of touch zones of the touch sensitive surface activated by a user to select a one of the plurality of touch zones as being intended for activation by the user.
