A lighting device includes a light source configured to emit a light and a sensor configured to receive identification information from an asset tag of a physical asset. The lighting device further includes a processor configured to send the identification information received from the asset tag and location information of the lighting device to a control device. The processor is further configured to receive a usage control message from the control device and transmit the usage control message, where the usage control message controls whether the physical asset is used at a location indicated by the location information.

The invention relates to a method and system for controlling access from a communications network (2) to any device (4) that is opened automatically, said system comprising a mobile device (2) and a remote control (1). The remote control (1) is characterised in that it: obtains the signals that control the automatic opening devices (4), either by means of cloning via antenna or using other means, and transmits said signals to the communications network (3), by means of its connection to any mobile device (2). Access can then be controlled from the communications network (3), simply by transmitting the signal that actuates the automatic opening device (4), via the mobile device (2) to which the remote control (1) is connected, to another requesting remote control (1). The remote control (1) then transmits the signal allowing the actuation thereof. Any remote control (1) can be used to actuate any automatic opening device (4).

The invention discloses a smart switch panel and a smart remote control switch system. The smart switch panel includes a housing, an actuating device arranged in the housing and a microprocessor arranged in the housing to control the actuating device, and the actuating device includes a rotating rod and a driving member, the rotating rod cooperates with the driving member and pushes the driving member to move in a direction parallel to the rotating rod when the rotating rod rotates, so as to drive the switch to switch when the smart switch panel is mounted on the switch.

An apparatus, system and method is described for controlling one or more consumer electronic devices that is performed by a smart device. The smart device causes one or more graphical elements, each for performing a particular operation to be displayed. The smart device then causes an action to be performed when the user selects one of the graphical elements, for example by pressing one of the keys on the universal controlling device or by speaking a command.

A content access device and system may allow portable remote devices to be paired with a variety of different devices, allowing remote control through a network connection. Content access devices may expose application program interfaces, allowing incoming network traffic to control operation of the device much in the same way that a local infrared remote would. Routing content commands through an external application server may also yield other benefits, such as allowing more customized selection of information and advertising content to users based on their viewing history.

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.

A system includes an article of personal protective equipment (PPE) and an industrial controller device configured to control an industrial device. The system includes a first computing device and a second computing device. The first computing device, in response to detecting an industrial controller event, wirelessly broadcasts an event message that solicits an action from a worker. The second computing device, in response to receiving the event message, generates an output that solicits the action from the worker, and in response to detecting a user input associated with the article of PPE, send, a response from the second computing device to the first computing device. The first computing device, in response to receiving the response from the second computing device, performs at least one operation associated with the industrial controller device.

A generator set monitoring and control system includes a generator set located in a first location, an on-site controller located near the first location, and a remote display, located in a second location. The remote display is configured to send instructions to at least one of the generator set and on-site controller, receive genset operation outputs from the on-site controller, and display genset operation outputs.

The present disclosure provides a server, a remote control device, and a remote control method for an automatic (or autonomous) driving vehicle. The method may include: after receiving a remote control request of an automatic driving vehicle, acquiring a target wireless channel of a target wireless network with the shortest communication delay from a plurality of candidate wireless channels of a plurality of candidate wireless networks in combination with the current geographic location of the automatic driving vehicle, and transmitting a corresponding control instruction to the automatic driving vehicle through the target wireless channel of the target wireless network.
