Embodiments are directed to controlling an electronically-controlled appliance using a software application and providing a user interface for controlling an electronically-controlled appliance. In one scenario, a computer system receives an indication from a remote computing system indicating that an electronically-controlled appliance is communicably connected to the remote computing system. The computer system provides a notification in the software application indicating that the electronically-controlled appliance is available to receive instructions, and receives a user input at the software application indicating that certain functions are to be performed by the electronically-controlled appliance. The computer system further generates instructions configured to control the electronically-controlled appliance based on the functions specified in the received user input, and sends the generated instructions to the electronically-controlled appliance to perform the specified functions. These functions are then interpreted and carried out on the electronically-controlled appliance via the hardware controller.

Provided is a method of operating a network device for train control in a wireless communication system, the method including: generating control information for train control; providing a first control command to a first base station through a first interface based on the control information; and providing a second control command to a second base station through a second interface based on the control information, wherein the first control command or the second control command is provided to the first base station or the second base station through the first interface or the second interface via a first core network for train control, and one of the first base station and the second base station is connected to a second core network.

Techniques for transmitting data include identifying data to be transmitted; and in response to a data session window being open: transmitting the data to a transceiver via a transmitter; determining whether there is additional data to be transmitted and determining whether the transmitter has transmitted the data to the transceiver; and in response, instructing the transceiver to end the data session window early and transition to a lower power state.

Embodiments are directed to communicating with and controlling operation of electronically-controlled appliances. In one scenario, a computer system receives a first input from a computing system indicating that an electronically-controlled appliance is permitted to communicate with a cloud computing platform. The computer system generates a notification that is to be sent to a software application, where the software application is configured to control functions of the electronically-controlled appliance. The computer system transmits the generated notification to the software application, where the generated notification indicates that the cloud computing platform is communicably connected to the electronically-controlled appliance. The computer system then receives a second input from the software application indicating that specified functions are to be performed on the electronically-controlled appliance, and transmits instructions to the electronically-controlled appliance to perform the specified functions. These functions are then interpreted and carried out by a hardware controller on the electronically-controlled appliance.

An infrared output device is installed in a fixed apparatus whose position is fixed in a predetermined space. An input receiving device is configured to receive, through voice input, a control command to a first-type apparatus controllable by infrared ray. Upon the input receiving device receiving the control command, the infrared output device is configured to output infrared ray to the first-type apparatus.

A system and method for the centralized access and management of multiple IoT systems is provided via a networked media hub. The media hub functions as a nexus for multiple IoT systems, providing a familiar, single-point user interface enabling the aggregation of information from, and the transmission of user commands to various, disparate IoT systems. The hub also enables interaction between the connected IoT systems, providing a point of connection and management for previously isolated IoT systems.

The invention relates to a method for configuring the communication between at least one actuator and a remote control, in order to enable a control of the at least one actuator by the remote control, the at least one actuator being configured to communicate with the remote control, the communication between the at least one actuator and the remote control being established according to a first protocol or according to a second protocol, the communication according to the second protocol being implemented via a connection to a router connected to the mains, the method being implemented by a mobile terminal, the mobile terminal being configured to communicate according to the first protocol with the at least one actuator, and with the remote control, the mobile terminal being configured to communicate with the router according to the first protocol or according to a third protocol, the method comprising the following steps: —identifying an identifier of the at least one actuator, —identifying an identifier of the remote control, —analysing in order to detect a presence or absence of the router, —if the absence of the router is detected by the mobile terminal during the analysis step, transmitting, to the remote control, the identifier of the at least one actuator and/or transmitting, to the actuator, the identifier of the remote control, then transmitting, to the remote control and to the actuator, a request to deactivate the first protocol, if the presence of the router is detected by the mobile terminal during the analysis step, transmitting, to the router, the identifier of the at least one actuator and the identifier of the remote control.

The present disclosure relates to a method and system for controlling a smart device. The method may include obtaining correlating information of the smart device. The correlating information may include at least one of smart device information or a communication status of the smart device. The method may include determining indication information of the smart device by processing the correlating information of the smart device according to a preset algorithm. The method may include performing designated operations related to the smart device based at least in part on the indication information.
