Additional now referring to Fig. 2, wherein show one of user house system 5.In user house system 5, circuit 4 terminates on the wall plug 12 that generally is called network termination apparatus usually, and it can be parallel on telephone plant 14, telemetry interface 11 (it does not constitute a part of the present invention) and the family's control interface 15 as theme of the present invention.

In brief, telemetry interface 11 for example respond from local switch 3 such as the signal specific such as tone signal after the circuit reversal connection to connect and to receive instruction from the reading of utility table (not shown) of the network platform.

Family's control interface 15 is reacted to the non-ringing network signal of one or more different frequencies of use of being used for the warning purpose after the circuit reversal connection from switch 3 similarly.

The signal that comprises from the data of controlling platform 8 that receives subsequently provides instruction to family's control interface 15 or to its solicited message.

Some device of family's control interface 15 may command, or more particularly can communicate by letter with a plurality of module interfaces 16, the latter controls other electric device again.

Referring to Fig. 3, this family's control interface 15 comprises processor controls 20 with signal detector 17, tone transmitter 18 and be used for the another signaling interface 19 of communicating by letter with module interface 16.Most possibly constantly monitor circuit from the interface 15 of electrical network circuit supply from NTE12 by suitable power supply (not shown).If signal detector 17 detects the circuit reversal connection, promptly from the A and the exchange of the voltage between the B pin of the connection of local switch 3, it will monitor the signal with indication family controlling platform calling in the information of frequency shift keying (FSK) signal form or touch-tone signal (DTMF) subsequently.If receive suitable alarm signal, the then action that will take by interface 15 of signal indication processor controls 20 subsequently.

In the time information will being returned to family's controlling platform 8 by export-oriented head joint equipment 12 with network, processor 20 is just controlled tone transmitter 18 and is sent this information.Module 15 can be with a series of switch S 1, S2 ... Sn directly control some circuit with/or can communicate by letter with module interface 16 and control circuit attached thereto, FSK interface 19 receives from the signal on the electrical network circuit that is applied to user house system 5 in a known way of processor controls 20.Similarly, utilize fsk signal to return signal from module interface 16 so that the affirmation of information and processor controls signal to be provided by the electrical network circuit.

Referring to Fig. 4, one of module interface shown in it 16.Module interface 16 comprises microprocessor 21 and FSK interface 22, one or more relay switch SM1 and such as comprising the identity selection mechanism 23 that distributes a module number to give a plurality of binary switchs of interface can be set manually.Though a switch S M1 only is shown, should understand by the some switches of response from the data of family's controlling platform 8 receptions are provided, individual module interface 16 can be used to control independently some circuit.Yet the communication by using FSK interface 19,22 to provide by domestic power supply should be provided, the suitable connector of module interface 16 usefulness (plug and jack configurations) is connected on the normal electrical network socket in house, and therefore be not limited to specific device.

Yet the manufacturer that also should understand such as equipment such as electric cooking appliance, video tape recorder, microwave oven and other apparatus for household use can add FSK interface 22 with other parts of module interface in the mill.As an alternative, the parts of module interface 16 can be added in the electrical network socket or other power source special socket of permanent wiring.

In brief, the basic operation of native system allows the user of sign up to participate in home controlling service by in the public switch telephone network call-home front yard controlling platform 8.In case utilize and be connected to this platform such as dtmf signal, the user just can discern controlled user house system 5, and after the suitable safety verification of the feature that has stood to use the personal identification number or arranged in advance such as calling line identity etc., just can from or to family's controlling platform 8 reception information or provide instruction.When platform receives the request in specific user house just at once spanning network establish a call to user house system 5 to family's control interface 15 send report to the police and request from the data dump of this interface.The information that receives from interface will identify the current state that each module interface 16 reaches each switch related with these module interfaces.Utilize specific user's the family data in controlling database, just module interface 16 and switch identity can be translated into specific items of equipment, and when customer requirements, will say to the user about the information of controlled item purpose state.

As an alternative, the user can key in specific instruction or receives and the representing of the digital identity of each device association from family's controlling platform with the dtmf key dish.Answer the user for the particular device that identifies or for the request of the module interface 16 of all installations, family's controlling platform 8 can be said to each current state and any timing information that changes for the state of being asked in these equipment of user.

Use dtmf signal again, but user's notification platform 8 is the further requirement of change state or to the prompt requirement of controlled plant on the time of appointment, each key operation of response user, platform will be told title, the current state of the project of being asked and the state of being asked changes timing together with any reception.Comprehensive guidance by system can be provided.

In customer call family controlling platform therebetween, acting immediately or when having finished customer call to platform if asked to act immediately, platform will be set up another data call of user house system 5 (No ringing calling), and the action (if any) that will be taked by family's control interface with indication of the data dump that will carry out docking port 15.

In the method for operation that substitutes, family's controlling platform can be stored the information about the timing of the change that will carry out in user house system 5, and in this case can or near the time that needs this service operations on set up the No ringing calling.This can reduce in user house system 5 and local timing's fault to take place and the possibility of influence and one or more modules of this interface conjunctionn unfriendly.

In further safety verification, system can be configured to request regularly from family's control interface 15 data dumps, and current state and family's 9 or 10 information about desired state that kept of controlling database of each controlled device are compared.

Below with reference to Fig. 5 and 6 the family's controlling platform 8 of Fig. 1 and the operation of family's control interface 15 are described in more detail.The definition of the interface module 16 by considering to set up Fig. 2 with reference to the calling to family's controlling platform 8 of starting from user house system 5 is easily at the beginning, and the calling line identification information that this callings is generated by local switch is designated to family's controlling platform and indicates the originating call that is carrying out from the circuit that can operate this service.

Referring to Fig. 5 d, user's oneself line call-up (not starting) for the purpose that is implemented in the straighforward operation in another user house in case this user has confirmed this calling cause occurring in Fig. 5 d 105 on the processing action of beginning.In order to confirm that this calling makes effectively, family's controlling platform is sent the personal identification number that the speech message request is keyed in the user on step 110, and this should draw from the user and receive the DTMF numeral.Suppose that by being effectively identifying on 115 the DTMF numeral that receives on the step 120 platform enters Action option is listed in state in the speech message on 125 with reference to the corresponding informance that is stored in the database 9.These actions can be request, state request, change request or the definition requests of listing project and their identity separately.

If yet the PIN that is received on step 120 is invalid, suppose that the user does not reach predetermined maximum attempts as yet on step 130, in case just on step 135 increment invite the user to import its PIN again during counter.If yet the number of times of attempting input PIN on step 130 has surpassed predetermined maximum value, just calling is connected to help desk (step 140), the manual intervention that operator can be taken place there confirms calling subscriber's good will.

Turn back to step 125, system continues to monitor the dtmf tone accent of the desired user action of indication, and This move can be the request recurrence option, just repeats above-mentioned inventory in this case.If yet user's response option listings request increases or changes by the indicated definition of tone signal that sends on step 150, system will ask user's input module interface number.Module interface number probably in 1 to 16 scope, makes and can represent it with 4 binary codes in operation subsequently usually.Thereby when when step 155 receives the dtmf signal of module interface form again, in case confirmed its validity on step 160, controlling platform 8 judges just whether this module interface number exists or whether the module item keyed in is new module interface.For fear of suspection, simply referring to Fig. 4, point out the module interface imported number identity 23 here corresponding to the module shown in Fig. 4, this can manually be provided with by the user.If in system, increased new module interface, then on program step 175 family's controlling platform 8 can with the family's control interface 15 swap data dump requests in user's the house, make the type of its energy determination module, whether perhaps this module is current connects.Determined that as mentioned above whether module type or this module are after the existing module, whether this module of system's decidable has the single operation switch or has more than one port.If this module has more than one port, the user just receives voice request input slogan on step 185, port numbers may be in 1 to 4 scope, its available 2 binary digit in operation is subsequently indicated, again on step 190, check its validity and received number in effective range in supposition on the step 200 when the DTMF of the value that receives port numbers indication, just the voice identification with stored digital (if any) with the existence of module and port sends the user to.

Here point out in step 160 with 190 among both, if the user imports off-limits number or system judges in the data dump of family's control interface 15 that always the module of being asked does not exist, it will return and point out to import is the speech message of invalid and invalid reason, and will ask suitable module No. or port numbers again.Turn back to step 200 now, in case play the project that exists, just invite the new title of user record with the speech message, and control database in 9 or 10 with any speech message of stored digital in family with respect to the module of appointment and port numbers from user's reception in step 210.Now on step 215, obtain the current state (i.e. the particular module of from up-to-date data dump, determining and the state of port) of the project of new record, and on step 220, its limit is broadcasted back together with user-defined spoken name.Can invite the user to propose further project in step 225, therefore and turn back to the option that step 125 is listed further action, if do not need operating data is not made further change, just with reference to the step 460 of the program shown in Fig. 5 a to 5c and following or the like, invite the mobile phone of putting back to telephone set.

Should point out that for security reason the user can not be from long-range and can only change module definition from the user house system 5 that service is provided.

Referring to Fig. 5 a to 5c, if the user wishes to change carrying out attached to the one or more controlled item purpose states on any module 16, then on step 305 during call platform 8, platform request destination sign, service just connects the telephone number of user house system 5 thereon.Can make control database 9 the (not shown) of connection immediately of suitable family is recognized the acquisition related data, and after receiving user ID (step 310), the request user imports PIN on step 315, and is described with reference to Fig. 5 d step 110 as the front.With Fig. 5 d step 120 to 135 similar modes, step 325,330 and 335 relate to the validity of destination PIN and user correctly recognition purpose ground PIN will cause repeated attempt to obtain effective information, and if can not the time calling is connected to people's help desk.Suppose and on step 325, imported effective aim ground PIN that system just attempts spanning network and sets up the data call (No ringing callings) of user house system 5 to carry out and the exchanges data of family's control interface 15.Thereby other the necessary parts foundation by DMSU1 and local switch 3 and network on step 340 is called out the No ringing of user house system 5, and does not provide bell signal to operate telephone device.

Additional referring to 3 with Fig. 6 a, following effective tone signal of indicating the family control interface to call out and receiving when reporting to the police when signal detector 17 detects circuit reversal connection back by network termination apparatus 12, just interruption is transferred to processor controls 20, as pointed in step 500.Processor controls 20 is confirmed to report to the police and return confirmation signal with tone transmitter 18.In platform 8, on step 345, the affirmation signal of transmission causes passing on the status data request on step 350, signal detector 17 detects this request again and transfers to processor controls 20, and the latter returns controlling platform and answers (step 550) with transmitting current status data about the module interface of all connections on step 515.On controlling platform 8, confirm the status data of transmission and the current state of storing the module interface on the user room, and on step 360 call release and cause family's control interface 15 on step 525, to turn back to its normal operating state.The collection of the status data that is transmitted is described below with reference to Fig. 6 b.

If system can not set up the No ringing calling and not receive from user house system 5 and reply on step 340, then on step 370, broadcast false alarm to the calling subscriber.After abandoning the No ringing call attempt, on step 375, connect the user to as previously mentioned on the artificial help desk.

Call out to determine that with setting up No ringing the current state of module interface in the user house system 5 and port is parallel, system lists option and wait for the tone that receives from the user on step 395 on step 390.

Option inventory on 390 will be similar on the step 125 of Fig. 5 d, but except not providing the chance of the definition that changes any module or port to the user.Therefore, on step 395, use the option of representing from the tone of user's reception to be such as project list, state request or to change request.The user certainly asks the recurrence option inventory, and system turns back to step 390 in this case, if do not receive dtmf signal in any incident on step 395, just system's recurrence option inventory after a period of time.

At first consider user's request items inventory on step 395, system extracts the digitized speech indication that the user provides each module and port previously from database, and the current state of on step 405, suitable module interface number, port numbers and sign being determined in setting up the No ringing calling procedure immediately together with these projects, say back together to the user.Engraving the user during any during calling out all can import and change the project that request or request repeat to list.Change request if receive, system can list option and transfer to confirm instruction for user and supervisory tone on step 410.For example, system can tell 03,1 " current parlor lamp is turned off ", " key 0 keeps ", " key 1 is turned on light ".If the user keys in 1 or 0, suitable reply and do not retell module interface and portal number part just provide in step 415.Thereby on step 415, can tell digitlization message " parlor lamp turn on " or " to the user and keep the parlor lamp to turn off " by 1 affirmation or " 0 cancels ".If the user is by 0, then system turns back to step 400 and lists project.If the user is by 1, then further information can be asked by system on step 420, promptly changes or makes change later on by 1 for making now by 1.If make change later on, then can make the voice request of the time and date of change in step 430, at first, suppose and imported effective time, just confirm date or this date and the form request of month information subsequently with the form request time of time hh mm (i.e. hour branch branch).Receive after the data of all requirements, the form that system just can be suitable will change details to be said back and gives the user, for example " 1900 of today turns on the parlor lamp, confirms by 1, cancel by 0 ".This feature is illustrated on the step 445, if the user confirms to take this action, then recording status changes details on step 450.Can ask on step 455 whether the user needs further action, if just turn back to the option inventory of step 390.Though described simple inventory, should understand after clean current state information sends the user to, also can transmit and comprise of the change of date and time information in interior any front request.Attention asks the user to put back to mobile phone on step 460.

Turn back to step 395 now, change request, just request items number and do not provide project list to the user if the user directly imports.Thereby request items number and on step 470 current state of project and this specific project being told when receiving on step 465 is as described above.Also note, the user can be on step 395 state of request items simply, in this case, when on step 475, receiving item number, just on step 405, tell this specific project and current state (together with any change information of current storage).

If to any in the calling procedure of controlling platform 8 time, engrave, the user removes or indication (seeing step 225 and step 445) no longer needs further information to change, then on step 480, the data of current status data and request are compared, make any change if desired, just call out to transmit them with setting up No ringing on to 495 in step 485.Thereby on the step 515 of Fig. 6, if not accepting state request on step 515 of family's control interface 15, it will transmit at the first-class pending data of step 490, and the validity of the data that check is received on step 520 and 525.If do not receive valid data, shown on, just error message is sent back family's controlling platform in step 530 from family's controlling platform.If yet receive valid data, be described action storage data on step 535 after this, and on step 540, successful message transferred to family's controlling platform.Make mistakes or the transmission back of one of successful message, and then transmit the status data of current maintenance, interrupt before (describing below) state of activation changes any renewal that their not reflections system makes at monitor.

Referring to the operation of the family's controlling platform on Fig. 5 c, family's controlling platform will be through after a while before setting up another No ringing calling on step 600.After this set up again on step 605 that No ringing is called out and on step 610 the solicited status data, as previously described.This make on step 615 be stored in family in controlling database about the data of user house system 5 and current state between make data relatively, if and detect any difference, just make the request that further trial makes the controlling platform reflection user of family.

Though not shown but here point out, because the user may ask some operations in succession of particular module interface and port, each operation separates a period of time.Platform carries out data and relatively reaches the wish that the step that transmits new instruction guarantees the module reflection user in the user house system 5 periodically by each solicited status data in rapid step by step 610,615 and 480 to 605.

Referring now to Fig. 3 and Fig. 6 b,, processor controls 20 comprises a real-time clock and makes processor controls 20 enter scanning and the reprogramming of the beginning shown in Fig. 6 b on step 700 at monitor timer on the periodic intervals.On step 705, module No. is set at first possible module, i.e. " 0000 ", and on step 710, similarly exit number also is set at first possible exit, be again " 00 ".On step 715, the state request of module and exit form is sent to family expenses electrical network circuit by FSK interface 19.Each module 16 will receive the module interface that transmitted number and exit number by its FSK interface 22 and identify it and be the further information of state request.Note above-mentioned module interface number for being stored in the identity in the identity store 23, it can be a series of switches of user-operable or the data that preset of certain other form.

Microprocessor 21 will be answered request with the form indicating module of the N position binary code of identification module number, exit number and current state and the current state of port (if more than).Shown in step 725, this answer is received and storage by the microprocessor in family's control interface 15 20.With the answer that received with for the data of the request of module and exit number relatively, if they be equate or to answer switch that expression identified be in manual control action, just do not need to change specific exit switch.Thereby do not take further action in step 730 and 735.Yet, answer if receive unequal state from active automation cell, by FSK interface 19 and the 22 change signals that send for this module and exit, cause microprocessor 21 suitably to change the state of switch S M1 to SM4.Send to change on step 740 after the signal, processor 20 judges whether current module of visiting also has switch, if, just at step 745 increment exit number and to the process of next the exit repeating step 715-740 on this module No..In case having tested all exits of first module in step 745 also upgrades when appropriate, microprocessor is judged the module of having inquired maximum number whether on step 755, if not, then in the process of step 760 increment module No. and repeating step 710-745 till having tested all module and exit.Note, if do not have not connect, just system enters to check other module forward from the answer or the module of module.

The all possible module of this periodic scan guarantees to identify soon the new module in the system of being connected to, and when at any time receiving before this with reference to the described remote call-in of Fig. 5 in user house system 5, family's control interface 15 just can return the current state and the control connection of all modules.
