Abstract
A method for controlling a radio signal emitted by a device, so as to adapt the range thereof. The method includes: determining, by a controller, a level of radio signal emitted by the device on the edge of a deter mined zone; controlling, by the controller, an adaptation of the range of the radio signal emitted by the device according to the comparison of the signal level and a determined threshold.
Claims14
A method for controlling a radio signal emitted by a device to adapt a range of the radio signal, wherein the method comprises:
- registration by a residential gateway of data descriptive of an environment of a user of this gateway to determine a limit of a zone wherein the registration takes place via a graphical interface which makes it possible to display the zone,
- determining, by a controller embedded in the residential gateway, a level of radio signal emitted by the device at the limit of the determined zone, and
- commanding, by the controller, an adaptation of the range of the radio signal emitted by the device according to a comparison of the signal level and of a determined threshold.
A method for controlling a radio signal emitted by a device to adapt a range of the radio signal, wherein the method comprises:
- determining, by a controller embedded in a residential gateway, a level of radio signal emitted by the device at a limit of a determined zone,
- commanding, by the controller, an adaptation of the range of the radio signal emitted by the device according to a comparison of the signal level and of a determined threshold,
- sending a request to any terminal seeking to be associated with the gateway for location of the terminal, and
- authorization of the association of the terminal with the gateway only if the terminal is located within the zone.
A method for controlling a radio signal emitted by a device to adapt a range of the radio signal, wherein the method comprises:
- determining, by a controller embedded in a residential gateway, a level of radio signal emitted by the device at a limit of a determined zone,
- commanding, by the controller, an adaptation of the range of the radio signal emitted by the device according to a comparison of the signal level and of a determined threshold,
- reception of an association request originating from a terminal comprising a location of this terminal, and
- authorization of the association of the terminal with the gateway only if the terminal is located within the zone.
A method for controlling a radio signal emitted by a device to adapt a range of the radio signal, wherein the method comprises:
- determining, by a controller embedded in a residential gateway, a level of radio signal emitted by the device at a limit of a determined zone,
- commanding, by the controller, an adaptation of the range of the radio signal emitted by the device according to a comparison of the signal level and of a determined threshold, wherein the gateway relays a connection request from a terminal located outside of the zone to a server of a network to which the gateway accesses for the server to assess whether there is a fraud, and, in case of a fraudulent request, the method comprises a redirection of the traffic from the terminal to a dedicated service platform.
A method for controlling a radio signal emitted by a connected thing to adapt a range of the radio signal, wherein the method comprises:
- determinating, by a controller, a level of radio signal emitted by the connected thing at a limit of a determined zone,
- commanding, by the controller, an adaptation of the range of the radio signal emitted by the connected thing according to a comparison of the signal level and of a determined threshold, obtaining information, by the thing on the controller's location,
- rejection by the thing of any request or command coming from the controller if the controller is located outside of the determined zone.
A method for controlling a radio signal emitted by a device to adapt a range of the radio signal, wherein the method comprises:
- determination, by a controller, of a level of radio signal emitted by the device at a limit of a determined zone, and
- commanding, by the controller, an adaptation of the range of the radio signal emitted by the device according to a comparison of the signal level and of a determined threshold, wherein the comparison to a threshold is repeated.
A gateway connectable to a communication network, the gateway comprising:
- a processing unit;
- and
- at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processing unit configure the gateway to perform acts comprising:
- emitting and receiving a radio signal,
- memorizing data describing a residential environment of a user of the gateway, defining a zone,
- determining a signal level at a limit of the zone and comparing this level to a threshold, and
- commanding adaptation of a range of the radio signal emitted by the gateway if the threshold is exceeded.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a processor of a controller, configure the controller to perform acts comprising:
- controlling a radio signal emitted by a device to adapt a range of the radio signal, wherein controlling comprises:
- determining a level of the radio signal emitted by the device at a limit of a determined zone, and
- commanding an adaptation of the range of the radio signal emitted by the device according to a comparison of the signal level and of a determined threshold, wherein the comparison to a threshold is repeated.
