The interface module includes a communication device that communicates with a remote system via a wireless channel. The interface module controls communications that include passing commands from the remote system to the legacy system, and passing event data of the legacy system to the remote system.

Disclosed are a binding method and system for device network configuration, and a mobile terminal and a storage medium. The method comprises: according to a request made to a cloud server from a smart device needing to be configured, acquiring device information of the smart device and a binding code; receiving the binding code generated by the cloud server, and the device information sent by same, and connecting the smart device according to the device information, and sending the binding code to the connected smart device, such that when the smart device is registered to the cloud server, the binding and connection to the smart device are realized according to the binding code.

A hierarchical wireless network is provided with a mesh backbone network portion and a switching tree network portion, The mesh backbone network portion includes first tier nodes each having at least one wireless link to another first tier node, The first tier nodes execute a link-state protocol for routing packets, The switching tree network portion includes second tier nodes each having a single wireless link to one first tier node and at least one wireless link to one third tier node, and third tier nodes each having a single wireless link to one second tier node. The second tier and the third tier nodes execute switching rules for switching packets,

Systems and methods are disclosed for emulating an environment created by the outputs of a plurality of devices. The system receives device control data for a device in a first venue. The control of the outputs of said devices according to the device control data creates an environment within the first venue. The system retrieves profile data for devices within a second venue. The system associates a device in the second venue with a device from the first venue, both devices having a similar output type. The system then generates control information adapted from the associated device of the first venue for the device in the second venue. The system controls the outputs of each device in the second plurality of devices according to the generated control information to emulate the environment within the first venue in the second venue.

A system for providing data communication over a MoCA (Multimedia over Coaxial Alliance) network in a construction complex, the system comprising a coaxial network; a network management device connectable to an external data channel, the network management device comprising a connector structured to be connected to the coaxial network; and a control unit having a first MoCA chip, wherein the control unit is configured to establish an access function, creating a control channel over the coaxial network to one or more MoCA end devices; and at least one MoCA end device connected to the coaxial network, wherein the at least one MoCA end device has a second MoCA chip and a network access unit connected to a bus on the second MoCA chip.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for machine learning for home understanding and notification. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining reference videos from a camera within a premises of a home, determining, from the reference videos, timing of actions in a routine that a particular person performs before leaving the home, determining from a sample video from the camera within the home that the particular person appears to be out of sync in performing a particular action based on the timing of actions in the routine determined from the reference videos, and in response, providing a notification to the particular person.

An information processing apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a controller configured to execute acquiring operation information for a network-connected home appliance that is home electronic equipment which is provided in a dwelling house, and is configured to be accessible to a prescribed network and is capable of being controlled via the network, making an estimation as to entering/exiting of a vehicle utilized by a user of the dwelling house into/from a parking lot associated with the dwelling house on the basis of the operation information for the network-connected home appliance in the dwelling house, and issuing, to a management apparatus that manages entering/exiting of the vehicle, an enter/exit instruction for causing the vehicle to enter or exit if entering/exiting of the vehicle into/from the parking lot is estimated.

This application is directed to a home monitoring and control system including a doorbell installed at a door of a home. The doorbell has a button configured to, upon being touched, depressed or activated, wirelessly initiate a first communication to indicate presence of a person at the door. The doorbell also has a camera configured to capture video data within a field of view, and a processor configured to cause a communication component to enable the first communication and wirelessly stream via a remote server the video data captured by the camera to a monitoring device associated with an occupant of the home. A rechargeable battery is coupled to a housing wire and configured to be charged via the housing wire, and the doorbell is configured to charge and discharge the rechargeable battery based on power usage of the doorbell.

A server apparatus receives a device ID indicating one electrical home appliance among one or more electrical home appliances and a gateway ID indicating that the one electrical home appliance belongs to a same owner, a same group, or a same home as the one or more electrical home appliances, determines whether or not the one electrical home appliance is a newly connected electrical home appliance, using a management database that manages device IDs indicating the one or more electrical home appliances and the gateway ID, and when it is determined made that the one electrical home appliance is a newly connected electrical home appliance, provides an information device, which is associated with the gateway ID and which differs from the one electrical home appliance, with notification information for confirming whether or not it is to be permitted to collect the log information from the one electrical home appliance.
