Abstract
Connecting devices is an emerging practice of increased automation of homes or any type of buildings. This invention addresses few efficient methods of connecting, controlling and an automated decision making of data, voice or multimedia information through wired or wireless or internet or any other mode of communication. For various applications, these methods have been designed by using hardware, software or both or an other system device. These reconfigurable systems are interoperable and trans-codable across all possible communication technologies and frequency bands with its associated system layers. These systems can be installed in new construction or retrofitted into the existing homes or any buildings.

Brief Description of the Drawings
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an exemplary embodiment of a transceiver coupled to a receiver and a transmitter to control a device in accordance with the invention;
Detailed Description
Principles of the present invention include a systematic approach to automatically control devices at a specified location.
Reference is not made to Fig. 1 , which illustrates an exemplary embodiment 100 of an home automation system having a transmitter 110 coupled to a transceiver 120. the transmitter in one embodiment may be a mobile device, which is capable to transmitting
a signal. The signal from the transmitter 110 is received by the transceiver 120. the signal from the transmitter may be in the form of a wired or a wireless signal, preferably a radio-frequency (RF) signal or an infra-red signal or a GSM signal or wireless signal or microwave signal or audio signal or video signal or combination thereof. The range of the signal varies from 0 meters to 1500 meters. The signal in one mebodiment may be routed directly between the transmitter 110 and the transceiver 120 by means of RF/1R 112. In a further embodiment, the signal between the transmitter 110 and the transceiver 120 may be controllerd by means of a web controller 114 for example by means of a laptop computer or a desktop computer or the likes. In yet a further embodiment, the signal between the transmitter 110 and the transceiver 120 may be controllerd by GSM 116 for example using a mobile phone or PDA or the likes which are used as transmitters. In yet a further embodiment, the signal between the transmitter 1 10 and the transceiver 120 may be controllerd by a PSTN line 118.
It should be well understood by one skilled in the art that the transmitter 1 10 may consists of multiple transmitters 110' coupled to a single reciever 120 or couple to multiple transceivers 102'.
For example, considering home automation being applied to a home, a master transceiver 120 may be located at a pre-defined position within the home. A user depending can select an appropriate device to be used as a transmitter which can transmit the singal to the main transceiver positioned at the home. On the transmitter the user firsts selects a particular device name and location of the device, for exampleuser selects device Fan and location as drawing room. Once the user selects this device, the user can switch on the device or switch off the device or even control the speed to the fan. The transceiver 120 receives the signal from the transmitter 110 and determines the right applicance 130 to which the signal needs to be routed to, and then routes the signal frrom the transmitter 110 to the appropriate appliance. Each of the appliance 130 will be configured with a receiver which can receive the signil from the transmitter 110 via the transceiver 120.
For example if there are more than one fans in the drawing room, a further option can be provided to the user on the transmitter to select the correct applicance 130 that the user needs to control.
In one embodiment, the user can also select the time for which the applicance should be switched on. For example, assuming the user is travelling from his office to his home, the user may transmit a signal from a transmitter, in this case a mobile phone, wherein the singal may be a SMS message to the transceiver 120 to switch on the appliance 130, in this case a geyser in the bathroom of the master bedroom. The user may also additionally provide a time for which the geyser may be switched on, for example 20 minutes. Once the transcerver 120 receives the singal from the transmitter 110, the transceiver locates the geyser in the bathroom associated with the master bedroom and switches the geyser on for a time duration of 20 minutes.
In one embodiment, controlling the applicance can be programmed by the transceiver at any time of the day. For example, the transmitter may send a signal to the transceiver to switch on the lights in the drawings room at 19:00 hrs on a certain day with a particular intensity. At the slated time, the transceiver sends a signal to the lights in the drawing room to be switched on with the particular intensity. In a further embodiment, such a feature can be programmed to take place on par.icular days or on all days.
For example devices such as home lighting, fans, ari conditioners, geysers, dimmers, garden lights, water sprinklers, motors etc can be controlled using this invention.
In a further embodiment, to conserver power, a street lights in a locality may be controlled using such a mechanism. In yet a further embodiment, traffic signals may be controlled using such a mecchamism.
Advantages of the invention are that such a mechanism is easy to user and affordable in terms of cost and results in at leat about 205 savings.
