Abstract
A smart remote system is presented which can be easily programmed for use with a variety of devices. The system includes a body having one or more sensors and a control circuit positioned within the body. The control circuit is configured to receive data from the one or more sensors and compare the received data to trigger conditions which are specified in a configuration data file. When one of the trigger conditions has been satisfied, it prompts an associated device to perform one or more actions which have been specified in the configuration file.
Claims25
A smart remote system, comprising
- a body;
- the body having a front side, a back side, and an exterior peripheral edge;
- one or more sensors positioned within in the body;
- a control circuit positioned within in the body;
- the control circuit communicatively connected to the one or more sensors;
- wherein the control circuit is configured and arranged to:
- receive data from the one or more sensors;
- compare the data received from the one or more sensors to one or more trigger conditions specified in a configuration data file associated with the control circuit;
- and
- in response to the data satisfying a first trigger condition of the one or more trigger conditions, performing one or more actions specified in the configuration data file for the first trigger condition.
A method for controlling a remote controlled device, comprising:
- providing a smart remote;
- wherein the smart remote has a body, one or more sensors positioned within in the body, and a control circuit positioned within in the body;
- using the control circuit, receiving data from the one or more sensors;
- using the control circuit, comparing the data received from the one or more sensors to one or more trigger conditions specified in a configuration data file stored in a memory of the smart remote;
- and
- using the control circuit, in response to the data satisfying a first trigger condition of the one or more trigger conditions, performing one or more actions specified in the configuration data file for the first trigger condition.
A smart remote system for detecting tilting, comprising
- a remote control;
- the remote control having a body;
- the remote control having one or more sensors;
- the remote control having a control circuit;
- the remote control having a communication circuit:
- the control circuit of the remote control communicatively connected to the one or more sensors of the remote control and the communication circuit of the remote control;
- wherein the control circuit and associated one or more sensors is configured and arranged to detect tilting;
- a motorized window covering;
- the motorized window covering having a motor;
- the motorized window covering having a bottom bar;
- the motorized window covering having a control circuit;
- the motorized window covering having a communication circuit;
- the control circuit of the motorized window covering communicatively connected to the communication circuit of the remote control;
- wherein the remote control is connected to the bottom bar of the motorized window covering;
- wherein when the remote control detects tilting beyond a first threshold, the remote control transmits a wireless signal through the communication circuit of the remote control over the air to the communication circuit of the motorized window covering thereby indicating the tilted condition of the bottom bar to the control circuit of the motorized window covering.
