Abstract
Methods and systems for a touch-less swipe control may comprise a control mat configured to detect a touch-less gesture, a processor coupled to said control mat, wherein the processor is configured to receive data indicative of said touch-less gesture, and wherein the processor is further configured to recognize if the received data is associated with i) a control and ii) which one of a plurality of devices is to be controlled in said network, and a communication transceiver configured to communicate said control to said one of a plurality of devices in response to the processor having recognized that the received data is associated with i) a control and ii) which one of a plurality of devices is to be controlled in said network.

A touch-less swipe control system for controlling a plurality of devices in a network, the touch-less swipe control system comprising:
- a control mat configured to detect a touch-less gesture;
- a processor coupled to said control mat, wherein the processor is configured to receive data indicative of said touch-less gesture, and wherein the processor is further configured to recognize if the received data is associated with i) a control and ii) which one of a plurality of devices is to be controlled in said network;
- and
- a communication transceiver configured to communicate said control to said one of a plurality of devices in response to the processor having recognized that the received data is associated with i) a control and ii) which one of a plurality of devices is to be controlled in said network.
A touch-less swipe control system comprising:
- a plurality of devices, each of which is operable to perform a function;
- a network manager coupled to said plurality of devices, wherein said network manager is configured to communicate with one or more of said plurality of devices;
- and
- a touch-less system coupled to said network manager, the touch-less system comprising:
- a control mat configured to detect a touch-less gesture;
- a processor coupled to said control mat, wherein the processor is configured to receive data indicative of said touch-less gesture, and wherein the processor is further configured to recognize if the received data is associated with i) a control and ii) which one of a plurality of devices is to be controlled in said network;
- and
- a communication transceiver configured to communicate said received data to said network manager, in response to the processor having recognized that the received data is associated with i) a control and ii) which one of a plurality of devices is to be controlled in said network, and
- wherein said network manager is further configured to process said received data, to initiate a control signal associated with said one of a plurality of devices and said received data, and to communicate said control signal to said one of a plurality of devices so as to perform said function.
A method of controlling a plurality of devices via a) a touch-less swipe control system being remote from said plurality of devices, and b) a network manager operable to communicate control signals to said plurality of devices in a network, the method comprising:
- detecting at the touch-less swipe control system a touch-less gesture;
- recognizing by the touch-less swipe control system if said touch-less gesture is associated with i) a control and ii) which one of the plurality of devices is to be controlled in said network;
- in response to having recognized that said touch-less gesture is associated with i) a control and ii) which one of a plurality of devices is to be controlled in said network, transmitting said received data to said network manager;
- generating a control signal at said network manager based on said received data;
- and
- transmitting said control signal from said network manager to said one of a plurality of devices.
