Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a remote control device by radio-relay systems of the type comprising a radio frequency receiver intended to receive control signals modulated on a carrier and to deliver them, demodulated, on its output and a control circuit receiving said demodulated signals and carrying out , on the basis of said signals, the control of one or more user devices to be controlled.
  • Such remote control devices by radio-relay systems are known. They generally operate with a transmitter which can send control data to a receiver of a control device, the latter carrying out the control of one or more user devices upon receipt of said data.
  • Such systems are difficult to use in home automation applications because the distances involved for the remote control of the start or stop of a boiler, or of its remote control for example, are generally much greater than the range transmitters used with remote control devices by conventional radio-relay systems.
  • Remote control systems which use the switched telephone network. With these systems, the remote control is carried out by means of a terminal of the "MINITEL” type, the data or the instructions transmitted being received and decoded by an appropriate reception and control device connected, for example, to a second terminal. of the "MINITEL" type.
  • the invention aims to provide a remote control device on a wireless network which can be used with systems which do not have the drawbacks of the systems described above.
  • the receiver is designed to receive the signals transmitted by a paging system and deliver signals in baseband to a processing unit connected, on the one hand, to a memory in which is stored an identification code of said control device and, on the other hand, to said control circuit, the data transmitted by said paging system consisting of a control message with which is associated a recipient identification code of this message, said control message possibly being an all-or-nothing control message, or a proportional control message, the processing unit being designed to transmit said control message from the operating devices to the control circuit when the identification code associated with said message corresponds to the identification code stored in the memory of the remote control device.
  • a paging system is used to send messages to a control circuit.
  • the paging system uses a wireless network which therefore does not require the long and costly installation of dedicated lines and, on the other hand, from the fact that it includes means for allocating messages to a given device rather than another.
  • said receiver, said processing unit, and said memory are housed in a single housing to form an electronic component.
  • the circuit shown in FIG. 1 forms part of the remote control device according to the invention.
  • This circuit is advantageously housed in a single housing to form an electronic component.
  • the dimensions of such a component that we produced were of the order of 40mm x 30mm x 8mm.
  • This circuit comprises a receiver 2, an ANT input of which is connected to a terminal 3 of the component which is intended to receive, as will be seen below, the output of an antenna 4.
  • Another OSC input of the receiver 2 is connected to an oscillator 5 designed to operate at a frequency which can, for example, be between 10 MHz and 900 MHz. It is, for example, piloted by quartz, or automatically tunable by means of a scanning system.
  • Receiver 2 is advantageously of the type which can receive signals from a person search system or from digital or alphanumeric paging systems using one of the EUROSIGNAL (R) , ALPHAPAGE (R) , RDS (R) , GOLAY ( R) , ERMES (R) , ATE (R) , etc.
  • the signal on the exit 6 consists of a frame of the type POCSAG comprising a message or a part 'a message associated with an identification code of the recipient of this message, this signal being in the form of a bit stream.
  • association of an identification code and a message can be carried out in different ways among which one can cite the header processes comprising this code, the frame interleaving processes, the signaling link processes .
  • processing unit 7 connected, by one of its inputs, to the output 6 of the receiver 2. It is provided with a bus 8 to which is connected a memory 10 of the type EEPROM, RAM, etc. In this memory is stored the identification code which is assigned to component 1 and which is specific to it.
  • a DON output of the unit 7 is connected to a terminal 10 of the component 1. In reality, the DON output forms a bus which can be multi-wire and, in this case, several terminals 10 are provided. The signals circulate on this bus in the form of bit sequences.
  • the + V and GND inputs of a supply device 12 are respectively connected to the terminals 13 and 14 of the component 1.
  • the supply device 12 is provided to supply the receiver 2, the oscillator 5, the processing unit 7 and memory 10.
  • FIG. 2 There is shown schematically in FIG. 2 a remote control device according to the invention which uses a component 1 such as that which has just been described in relation to FIG. 1.
  • the input terminal 3 of this component is connected to an antenna 4.
  • the output terminals 13 and 14 are respectively connected to the + V and GND outputs of a supply circuit 15.
  • the output terminal 10 is connected at the input DON of a processing unit 16, the output 17 of which is connected to a control circuit 18.
  • the circuit 18 is, for example, a relay which can control the start or stop of a work contact. 'a boiler 19 of central heating. It can also control the start or stop of one or more electrical devices to control or adjust one or more of their parameters.
  • the unit 16 is connected, for its power supply, to the + V and GND outputs of circuit 15.
  • paging network which can transmit baseband signals modulated by a carrier of given frequency.
  • baseband signals consist of a series of frames each made up of a message or part of a control message associated with an identification code of the recipient of this message.
  • the antenna 4 can pick up the signals transmitted by this network which are then found on the input 3 of the component 1.
  • a received signal is delivered to the receiver 2 which, tuned on the frequency of the carrier of the network to by means of oscillator 5, demodulates it and then delivers, on its output 6, a demodulated baseband signal.
  • the processing unit 7 extracts the identification code associated with the command message from the corresponding frame. If this code is the same as that which is stored in the memory 9 of the component 1, the message contained in the frame is processed by the unit 7, which, for example, can deliver it on its DON output in the form of a series of bits.
  • the transmitted messages are then available on output 10 of component 1 and on input DON of processing unit 16.
  • the message is not used by the unit 7 which then does not deliver any signal on its output 10.
  • the processing unit 16 performs processing of the messages received and, depending on this processing and on the content of these messages, whether or not delivers a signal in a form which can be used by the control circuit 18.
  • the unit 16 delivers to relay 18 a command pulse to close its working contact. Conversely, if it is a command to stop the boiler 19, the unit 16 sends to relay 18 a command pulse to open its working contact.
  • the signals delivered to it by the unit 16 are, for example, of the digital type. They allow the selection of the user device (s) and carry out the appropriate commands, according to the content of the messages transmitted by the unit 16.
  • the unit 16 can also transmit to a circuit 18, in the form of digital codes, instructions for controlling and adjusting certain parameters of the user devices 19.
  • a user can remotely control one or more user devices by transmitting, via a paging network, to the call number corresponding to the identification code stored in the component 1 of its control circuit, predetermined messages for controlling these devices.
  • Another application of a remote control device consists in providing it mounted in an automobile. In the event of theft, its owner sends a message to this device via the paging system, which has the effect of stopping the vehicle when it is in predetermined situations.
