A communication system includes a first mobile terminal, a second mobile terminal, a smart device, and a router. The first mobile terminal, the second mobile terminal, and the smart device each establish a Wi-Fi link to a Wi-Fi router. The first mobile terminal is configured to manage the smart device. The router performs similarity comparison on first connection information and second connection information based on the first connection information generated when the first mobile terminal is connected to the router and the second connection information generated when the second mobile terminal is connected to the router, for example, a connection time point and connection duration. If a similarity reaches a first threshold, the router sends prompt information to the first mobile terminal. The prompt information is used to prompt whether to share management permission on the smart device with the second mobile terminal.

The present invention relates to a method of configuring a central control unit (U) belonging to a home-automation installation (U) or a home-automation device (D) comprising a central control unit (U) and belonging to a home-automation installation, the method being implemented by the central control unit (U) and comprising the following steps: Obtaining (EcfU16) of a location identifier (SvclcL) of a first remote configuration service (Svlc); Dispatching (EcfU17) of a configuration request (MConn) destined for the first remote configuration service (Svclc) by using the location identifier (SvclcL) and linked with an identifier of the central control unit (U); Reception (ECfU 19) of at least one set of data or of configuration instructions (cfgl) and/or of at least one identifier of a second functional remote service (Svc2) originating from the first remote configuration service (Svclc); Configuration (ECfU20) on the basis of the at least one set of data or of configuration instructions (cfgl) and/or of the at least one identifier of a second functional remote service (Svc2);

The invention discloses a smart loudspeaker, wherein the smart loudspeaker includes a voice input module, a language recognition module and at least two voice assistants, and the language recognition module receives a voice information from the voice input module and determines the language category based on the voice information and activates the voice assistant corresponding to the language category.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a reassociation indication method and apparatus, and a communication device. The method comprises: sending a beacon frame of a multi-transport connection, the beacon frame comprising a reassociation information element; the reassociation information element comprising: indication information used for indicating reassociation request frame transmission.

A user premises system is provided. The user premises system includes an internal unit and an external modem unit. The internal unit includes a wireless power transmitter unit that inductively provides power through an exterior structure of a premises. The external modem unit includes a wireless power receiver unit that inductively receives power from the wireless power transmitter unit of the internal unit through the exterior structure of the premises. The internal and the external modem units each include a short range transceiver that wireless communicate data between internal and the external modem units.

An improved home automation system is provided to facilitate senior care, as well as to facilitate care for individuals suffering from Alzheimer's disease or other dementias. A home control unit is provided that is connected to, and interfaces with, a combination of health equipment, smart home appliances, a smart medicine cabinet, a smart pantry, wearable sensors, motion detectors, video cameras, microphones, video monitors, speakers, smart thermostat, lighting, floor sensors, bed sensors, smoke detectors, glass breakage detectors, door sensors, and other perimeter sensors. A distributed computational architecture is provided having a CPU associated with each video camera and an associated proximate microphone and speaker, wherein speech detection and processing, and video processing, is performed by each such CPU in conjunction with its associated video camera, microphone, and speaker. Remote backup for such distributed speech processing is selectively provided by a remote server based upon confidence scopes generated by each such CPU. The distributed computational architecture is also utilized for video processing to facilitate peer-to-peer video conferencing communication using industry standard formats and to reduce latency and response times that would otherwise be encountered using remote servers.

The disclosure relates to a pre 5th generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). A method for operating a radio unit (RU) of a base station is provided. The method includes transmitting, to a digital unit (DU), a first message comprising a value indicating the maximum number of masks for one resource area, and receiving, from the DU, a second message generated based on the value, wherein the mask may indicate resources to which the same beam is applied within the resource area.

Provided are a wireless communication method, a network device and a terminal device. The method includes: after acquiring a PSI parameter of a terminal device, a first network device determines whether to update policy information of the terminal device, wherein the PSI parameter is used for identifying a part of policy information for the terminal device under a subscribed user. In an implementation of the present disclosure, after acquiring a Policy Section Identifier (PSI) parameter of a terminal device, a first network device directly determines whether to update policy information of the terminal device.

Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for tailoring composite graphical assistant interfaces for interacting with multiple different connected devices. The composite graphical assistant interfaces can be generated proactively and/or in response to a user providing a request for an automated assistant to cause a connected device to perform a particular function. In response to the automated assistant receiving the request, the automated assistant can identify other connected devices, and other functions capable of being performed by the other connected devices. The other functions can then be mapped to various graphical control elements in order to provide a composite graphical assistant interface from which the user can interact with different connected devices. Each graphical control element can be arranged to reflect how each connected device is operating simultaneous to the presentation of the composite graphical assistant interface.

An application gateway including application service programming positioned at a user premises can provide voice controlled and managed services to a user and one or more endpoint devices associated with the application gateway. The application gateway can be controlled remotely by the application service provider through a service management center and configured to execute an application service provided from the application service provider. The application gateway can execute the application service at the user premises upon voice command by a user and independent of application services executing on the application service provider's network. An application service logic manager can communicate with an application service enforcement manager to verify that the request conforms with the policy and usage rules associated with the application service in order to authorize execution of the application service on the application gateway, either directly or through endpoint devices.
