The mobile device includes a capturing unit; a display for displaying an image of a cleaning robot obtained from the capturing unit and receiving a touch; and a controller for controlling the cleaning robot to move to a location that corresponds to the input touch.

A ceiling fan for a space is provided. The ceiling fan can include a first communication interface configured to provide communications between the ceiling fan and a plurality of peripheral devices over a local network. The ceiling fan can further include a second communication interface configured to provide communications between the ceiling fan and an external network. The ceiling fan can further include one or more control devices configured to provide one or more control signals to control operation of one or more of the peripheral devices.

Techniques for suggesting accessory devices controlled by an application executing on a mobile device are disclosed. A method includes measuring one or more sensor values to determine a data point at each of a plurality of first times, associating an accessory device with each of the data points, clustering the data points within a threshold distance of each other to create a plurality of clusters. The method also includes, after clustering the data points, measuring one or more sensor values to determine one or more current data points at a second time, determining that one or more current data points at the second time corresponds to a first cluster of the plurality of clusters, identifying a first accessory device associated with one or more of the data points in the first cluster, and providing a message using the application.

[Object]To propose a control apparatus, control method and program which enable equipment to be controlled in a manner desirable for a user. [Solution]A control apparatus including: an inquiry unit configured to make an inquiry to a user as to control of equipment in a case where there is control information which is not uniquely determined in a control condition including a current environmental condition; and an equipment control unit configured to control the equipment in accordance with a response to the inquiry.

A system and method of providing one or more vehicle functions at a vehicle, the method including: when the vehicle is in a powered off state, periodically scanning for short-range wireless communication (SRWC) devices using a SRWC chipset and, as a result of the scanning, receiving a connection request from a mobile device; in response thereto, establishing a SRWC connection with the mobile device using the SRWC chipset; after establishing the SRWC connection, authorizing the mobile device to access one or more vehicle functions; then, performing an initialization suite of operations, wherein the initialization suite of operations includes initializing at least one vehicle system module, and wherein the initialization suite of operations is performed in response to a predictive user determination indicative of an imminent user interaction with the vehicle; and executing the initialization suite of operations at the vehicle.

A wearable device configured to pair with a plurality of electronic devices via a wireless network and to display a graphics user interface that includes a plurality of home screens corresponding to the plurality of electronic devices.

According to one configuration, a remote controller device wirelessly controls a remote media system. The remote controller device includes multiple selectable control buttons, multiple optical sources, and controller hardware. Each optical source individually back-illuminates a respective selectable control button of the multiple selectable buttons. The controller hardware selectively activates different groupings of the multiple optical sources depending upon a current operational mode of the remote media system. For example, a respective user of the remote controller device selects a particular button of the remote controller device corresponding to the first operational mode. The remote controller device, in turn, transmits a wireless signal to the remote media system to control the remote media system to the first operational mode. Rather than illuminating all buttons, the remote controller device then back-illuminates only a relevant group of multiple selectable control buttons applicable to the first operational mode.

An electronic device configured to control an environment includes a communication unit and a processor. The communication unit is configured to communicate with a server, at least one user device, and at least one connected device. The processor is operatively coupled to the communication unit and configured to receive identification information from the at least one user device, receive a user profile corresponding to the identification information of the at least one user device from the server, the user profile including at least one user preference, and control the at least one connected device to control the environment based on the user profile.

A system capable of communicating with a terminal includes a processor and a transmitter. The processor is configured to generate a first control signal including a first target position to operate at least part of the terminal and generate a second control signal including a second target position to operate at least part of the terminal after an operation of the at least part of the terminal in accordance with the first target position. The transmitter is configured to transmit the first control signal to the terminal at a first timing and transmit the second control signal to the terminal at a second timing after the first timing. The first target position is farther than a position which the at least part of the terminal is to reach at the second timing.
