Abstract
A closed-loop control system that remotely controls a device over a distributed communications system includes a device that is connected to the distributed communications system and that generates super-media feedback signals. A computer is connected to the distributed communications system and includes a controller that provides super-media feedback. The computer generates and transmits command signals using the controller to the device and outputs the super-media feedback signals to the controller. The closed-loop control system is event-based to ensure stability and synchronization of the closed-loop system.
Claims35
A closed-loop control system that remotely controls a device over the Internet, comprising:
- a device that is connected to said Internet and that generates super-media feedback signals;
- a computer connected to said Internet and a controller that provides super-media feedback, wherein said computer generates and transmits command signals using said controller to said device and outputs said super-media feedback signals to said controller;
- wherein said closed-loop control system is event-based to ensure stability and synchronization of said closed-loop system.
A method for remotely controlling a device using a closed-loop control system over the Internet, comprising:
- connecting a device to said distributed communications system;
- generating super-media feedback signals using said device;
- connecting a computer to said distributed communications system that includes a controller that provides super-media feedback;
- generating command signals for said device using said controller and said computer;
- transmitting said commands to said controller;
- receiving said super-media feedback signals from said device;
- and
- outputting said super-media feedback signals to a user using said controller, wherein said closed-loop control system is event-based to ensure stability and synchronization.
