Abstract
Systems, software, and methods are provided to rapidly configured replacement gateways and other devices when needed. Configuration information may be received and stored in memory. The information may be sent to a first device or gateway. If the first device or gateway needs to be reconfigured, the information may be resent to the first device or gateway. If the first device or gateway fails, the information may be send to a second device or gateway to configure the second device for use in the system, thereby rapidly swapping the first device and second device.
Claims16
A method for configuring devices using a cloud infrastructure, comprising;
- receiving configuration information for one or more devices to be controlled from a user or from the devices to be controlled at a computing device;
- storing the configuration information at a memory;
- sending the received or stored configuration information to a first device, wherein the configuration information is used at least in part to configure the first device;
- sending the received or stored configuration information to the first device if the first device requires reconfiguration;
- and
- sending the received or stored configuration information to a second device if the second device requires configuration,
- wherein first device or the second device comprises a communication gateway,
- wherein the device communicates to the communication gateway at least in part via 802.15 protocol, and the communication gateway communicates to the Internet at least in part via Ethernet protocol, and
- wherein one or more devices communicates device information to the first or second communication gateway, and the first or second communication gateway translates the device information into a communication format useable on the Internet.
6 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, having stored thereon instructions, which if executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- receive configuration information for one or more communication gateways to be controlled from a user or from the communication gateways to be controlled at a computing device;
- store the configuration information at a memory;
- send the received or stored configuration information to a first communication gateway, wherein the configuration information is used at least in part to configure the first communication gateway;
- send the received or stored configuration information to the first communication gateway if the first communication gateway requires reconfiguration;
- and
- send the received or stored configuration information to a second communication gateway the second communication gateway requires configuration;
- and
- send the received or stored configuration information of the first communication gateway to the second communication gateway if the first communication gateway is not functioning properly,
- wherein the computing device comprises cloud infrastructure,
- wherein the computing device communicates to the communication gateways at least in part via 802.15 protocol, and the communication gateways communicate to the Internet at least in part via Ethernet protocol, and
- wherein the computing device communicates device information to the first or second communication gateway, and the first or second communication gateway translates the device information into a communication format useable on the Internet.
8 more elements
A system for rapidly configuring a communication gateway, comprising:
- a computing device capable of receiving configuration information for one or more communication gateways to be controlled from a user and from the one or more communication gateways to be controlled at a computing device;
- storing the configuration information at a memory;
- sending the received or stored configuration information to a first communication gateway, wherein the configuration information is used at least in part to configure the first communication gateway for use in a system;
- sending the received or stored configuration information to the first communication gateway if the first gateway requires reconfiguration;
- and sending the received or stored configuration information to a second communication gateway if the second gateway requires configuration,
- wherein the computing device comprises cloud infrastructure,
- wherein a device communicates to the first or second communication gateway at least in part via 802.15 protocol, and the communication gateways communicates to the Internet at least in part via Ethernet protocol, and
- wherein the computing device communicates device information to the first or second communication gateway, and the first or second communication gateway translates the device information into a communication format useable on the Internet.
