Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for detecting events occurring to an article at a remote location using low-power event detection circuitry and transmission of event detection messages over a network.

A medical device of a medical system is configured for communicating with an external programmer over a wireless communications link. The medical device comprises a wireless communications module configured for receiving a first unencrypted version of a random number and a first encrypted version of the random number from the external programmer over the wireless communications link. The medical device further comprises control circuitry configured for performing an authentication procedure on the external programmer based on the first unencrypted version of the random number and the first encrypted version of the random number, and preventing the external programmer from commanding the medical device to perform an action unless the authentication procedure is successful.

A transmission control device is used in an authentication system. The authentication system enables control of an authentication target based on authentication established by verification via wireless communication between the authentication target and a portable device carried by a user. The transmission control device outputs a drive current to a transmission antenna to cause the transmission antenna to transmit a signal having a predetermined frequency band. The transmission control device adjusts the output drive current. The transmission control device detects a current flowing through the transmission antenna.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include a remote control device and an unmanned aerial vehicle. The remote control device includes: a display screen, a rotating shaft, a remote control body and a security lock mechanism. The remote control body includes: a housing and a joystick. The display screen can rotate around the rotating shaft. The security lock mechanism is connected to the rotating shaft. When the display screen is rotated towards the housing by an angle during screen closing, the security lock mechanism in a first state locks the display screen to stop the display screen from being continued to rotate.

A system for transmitting commands and a video stream between a remote controlled machine such as a drone and a ground station comprises a two-way link between the machine and ground station, at least partially implementing a cellular communication network, said two-way link being provided by means of a cellular modem on the machine side and conveying a compressed video stream produced by a camera and a video encoding module, and information belonging to a group comprising movement control commands and flight data or operating characteristics of the remote controlled machine, the system further comprising means for managing the two-way link capable of ensuring said link is maintained, taking into account the variability in topology and performances of the link resulting from the implementation of the cellular communication network. Application to long-range drones.

A system may be used for wirelessly transmitting data between a communication terminal positioned in a prescribed area and a remote communication station connected to a communication network. The system may include a lighting arrangement having a lighting device arranged in the prescribed region and at least one transmission device arranged in or directly on the lighting device. The transmission device may be configured to establish a first wireless optical communication connection to the remote communication stations and a second wireless communication to the communication terminal to transmit the data.

A remote control device for remotely controlling a target device to be controlled is provided. The remote control device includes a communication module configured to transmit a request a license activation to an external server via a gateway along with first remote control device information for identifying the remote control device and first infrared (IR) library information for identifying the IR library DB, receive, from the gateway via the gateway, license activation information encrypted by an encryption algorithm, the encrypted license activation information including second remote control device information, second IR library information, and a license activation key code for the IR library DB, an input module configured to receive a user input for remotely controlling a target electronic device to be controlled, and a controller module configured to decrypt the encrypted license activation information by a decryption algorithm to extract the second remote control device information, the second IR library information and a license activation key code, and activate the IR library DB with the license activation key code, and generate remote control signals corresponding to the user input, utilizing the activated IR library database.

To perform authentication and execute a function on the basis of clear intention of a user through single operation performed by the user.

There is provided a control device that is installed in a mobile object, the control device comprising: a near-field wireless communication section configured to perform near-field wireless communication with a portable device; and a control section configured to authenticate the portable device on a basis of authentication information that the near-field wireless communication section has acquired from the portable device through the near-field wireless communication, and configured to perform control on a basis of a result of the authentication, wherein the control section performs control in such a manner that a prescribed function related to a control target device installed in the same mobile object is executed in a case where the authentication is successful.

An example module includes: a radio to communicate with a sensor; a communication interface to communicate with a second module; a chassis to mate with the second module; and a processor connected to the radio, the communication interface, and a memory, the processor to execute instructions stored in the memory. The instructions are to: receive, via the radio, sensor data from the sensor; process the sensor data to generate processed sensor data; and transmit the processed sensor data to a remote device.
