Abstract
A method for data rate switching in an appliance that is connected to a network includes polling data at a first rate when a value of a status of the appliance is a first value, transmitting the data polled at the first rate from the appliance via the network, polling data at a second rate when the value of the status of the appliance is a second value, and transmitting the data polled at the second rate from the appliance via the network.
Claims20
A method for data rate switching in an appliance that is connected to a network, comprising:
- polling data from a sensor of the appliance at a first rate when the appliance is in a deactivated mode;
- transmitting the data polled at the first rate from the appliance via the network;
- polling data from the sensor at a second rate when the appliance is in an activated mode;
- and
- transmitting the data polled at the second rate from the appliance via the network,
- wherein the second rate is greater than the first rate.
A method for data rate switching in an appliance that is connected to a network, comprising:
- polling data from a controller of the appliance at a first rate when the appliance is in a deactivated mode;
- transmitting the data polled at the first rate from the appliance via the network;
- polling data from the controller at a second rate when the appliance is in an activated mode;
- and
- transmitting the data polled at the second rate from the appliance via the network,
- wherein the second rate is greater than the first rate.
A method for data rate switching in an appliance that is connected to a network, comprising:
- polling data from a controller of the appliance at a first rate when a value of a status of the appliance is a first value;
- transmitting the data polled at the first rate from the appliance via the network;
- polling data from the controller at a second rate when the value of the status of the appliance is a second value, the second value different from the first value;
- and
- transmitting the data polled at the second rate from the appliance via the network,
- wherein the second rate is greater than the first rate.
