Abstract
A system, device, and method for implementing secure control over audio-visual (AV) equipment connected to an AV gateway is disclosed. The solution includes utilizing a user device to remotely control the AV gateway by connecting both the user device and the AV gateway to an Internet of Things (IoT) network, and facilitating communication between the user device and the AV gateway via messages using an MQTT broker or IoT cloud services.
Claims19
A computing device comprising:
- an image capturing device;
- a display screen;
- a processor;
- and
- a storage device configured to store machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
- establish a communication channel between the computing device and a message routing component by registering the computing device as a client of the message routing component;
- control the image capturing device to capture an image of a machine-readable code displayed on a display screen of a gateway device, wherein the gateway device is configured to be subscribed to the message routing component to receive messages published by the message routing component;
- display a graphical user interface (GUI) on the display screen corresponding to a device GUI available on the gateway device;
- receive, via inputs corresponding to the displayed GUI, control commands;
- and
- transmit the control commands to the message routing component, wherein the message routing component is configured to communicate the control commands to the gateway device by publishing the control commands within a message for the gateway device to receive as a subscriber to the message routing component.
