Description
The present invention relates to be used for the field of the installation bus system of office block, dwelling house, inhabitation formula touring car and other multipurpose plants, and relate to home automation.The invention still further relates to via the visit of dedicated radio link family's installation bus system.The invention still further relates to embedded server.
There are the some kinds of contention systems that are used for home automation, as the installation bus (EIB) and the Lonworks in Europe.The purpose of installation bus technology is a decoupling signaling between sensor and actor (actor) and AC distribution.Therefore, this equipment is no longer controlled via cut-off switch, but offers control via the control data that sends on independent control net.Therefore, each sensor (switch, button, control panel ...) can be set up so that control each actor (lamp, electrically driven curtain, electronic garage door ...) or the actor group.Similarly, sensor (for example, temperature, humidity or the like) can be read out, and based on these action (for example, connecting your heating installation), can be triggered.
The solution of function should have two networks hereto: first is the 110/220V power distribution network, and second is a secondary network that is used to control purpose.Replacedly, this control information can use modulation technique to send via this power distribution network.With common old electric device, that is, switch, light modulator or the like are compared, and " the Standard User interface " that is used for these systems is not change basically.
Traditional family's installation bus system mainly is subjected to the puzzlement of following three problems:
The first, the user interface that is used for typical case's installation remains unchanged.During disposing, you can dispose which switch, light modulator or the like will trigger action whatsoever.This normally carries out by means of a computing machine that is connected to this network.But, in case configuration finish, should " user interface " (with user experience thus) be identical with common old device.
The second, this user interface (switch, light modulator) is similar usually to be installed on the wall by mechanical means in common old electric device like that.
The 3rd, in case this network is configured, in this network, do not store the central point of whole mount messages.Otherwise each sensor is known the actor of its control, and for other sensor with known to actor has no.
Prior art also provides the internet gateway that is used for the Long-distance Control purpose that is connected to family's installation bus.Internet gateway on installation bus has further solved above-mentioned problem, but needs a computing machine that is connected to this installation bus and the Internet.In addition, be waste resource and money with computing machine as internet gateway, because standard computer expends time in, space and online expense.Further need being connected of computing machine and the Internet fire wall and to the safeguard measure of unauthorized access or the like.This Long-distance Control based on the Internet is authorized Palo Alto, California (Palo Alto on September 21st, 1999, the U.S. Patent No. 5 of Hewlett-Packard Calif), 956,487, describe in " at an embedding WEB access mechanism (EMBEDDING WEB ACCESSMECHANISM IN AN APPLIANCE FOR USER INTERFACE FUNCTIONSINCLUDING A WEB SERVER AND WEB BROWSER) that comprises the equipment that is used for user interface capabilities of WEB server and WEB browser ".
The objective of the invention is to overcome the problems referred to above, and a kind of installation gateway based on the multi-application wireless protocol stack is provided.
The present invention uses an installation bus gateway (IBG) to overcome this problem: this IBG is an equipment that is connected to this installation bus, and comprises a logic of communicating by letter with its installation bus that is connected.In addition, this IBG can store the whole or a part of of this network configuration data, as the readable title of the people of bus address, sensor/actor, control scene or the like.The purposes of this IBG provides one and is used for the option that Long-distance Control is connected to the equipment of this installation bus, incident that notice detects on this installation bus and configuration purposes.There are three kinds of typical operating positions in the IBG that mentions in this document:
Operating position 1: be used for hypertext user interface (UI) wireless, short distance control purposes.This can realize that by a connection wireless, short distance to portable terminal (for example, mobile phone) is provided this portable terminal comprises a hypertext browser by this IBG.This telephone set can be visited the user interface of this local network, and this user interface is stored in hypertext format in the home server within this IBG.Therefore, this mobile phone can play a general mobile remote control equipment for all equipment that is connected to this installation bus.Action on this installation bus can trigger with parameterized hypertext request and be activated carrying out the server side code by being used for, and it triggers action of wanting successively on this installation bus.The embodiment of this IBG is used as WAP hypertext language and bluetooth is connected means as short distance.
