Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to a system of interchangeable wireless communications and control modules for domestic and commercial devices that allow a standard smartphone, tablet or similar item to act as a personal controller using a wireless peer-to-peer communications link and/or a wireless local area network.
- Smartphones typically have an operational life of two years while controllable power, light, door, gate, awning and blind mechanisms usually have an operational life greater than ten years.
- controllable power, light, door, gate, awning and blind mechanisms usually have an operational life greater than ten years.
- the rapid turnover of smartphones places pressure on
- Smartphones therefore tend to integrate the latest communication technology in order to remain competitive.
- the communication technology one manufacturer chooses may not be adopted by all manufacturers. Alternately, one manufacturer may choose to add restrictions around their communication capabilities that others do not, or may adopt new technology that is not compatible with previous standards.
- the present invention includes three parts: an interchangeable module with control and wireless communication capabilities; an interface connection adapted to supply power and exchange commands and information with an interchangeable module; and a battery powered personal controller able to communicate with an interchangeable module via a wireless communications link.
- the interchangeable module is preferably configured to operate as an adaptable Wi-Fi Direct access point/group participant and network Wi-Fi device either individually or concurrently, using WiFi-Direct and/or network Wi-Fi technologies, and may include additional support for Bluetooth SIG class 2.1+EDR or later.
- network Wi- Fi refers to the Wi-Fi Alliance definition as any "wireless local area network (WLAN) products that are based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standards" including any amendments, extensions or proprietary implementations.
- Wi-Fi Direct refers to a device configured to support the Wi-Fi Alliance Wi-Fi Direct specification and amendments, extensions or proprietary
- Wi-Fi Direct and Bluetooth are peer-to-peer communication technologies. Peer- to-peer communication methods that may be incorporated into the interchangeable module are described in more detail in PCT Application No. PCT/AU2011/001666, filed December 29, 2011 , titled “Wireless Power, Light and Automation Control,” the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- Network Wi-Fi is a communication technology that allows devices to communicate through a WLAN.
- Adaptable network and peer-to-peer communication methods that may be incorporated into the interchangeable module are described in more detail in PCT Application No. PCT/AU2012/000959, filed August 15, 2012, titled “Adaptable Wireless Power, Light and Automation System” the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- the personal controller is preferably a commercially available cellular or mobile phone commonly known as a smartphone that supports at least network Wi-Fi and may also support Wi-Fi Direct and/or Bluetooth and/or Near Field Communications (NFC).
- NFC Near Field Communications
- the personal controller will be described in terms of a smartphone, though the invention is not so limited.
- the personal controller may be any portable device which can download or install by other means an App, have a suitable interface the user can interact with to control the App in order to execute required functions, and have the wireless communications capability to establish communications with an interchangeable module.
- Examples of personal controllers include smartphones, tablets, laptops, ultrabooks and notebook personal computers.
- the interchangeable module can preferably form a communications link with a smartphone using Wi-Fi Direct and/or network Wi-Fi. It can be appreciated that when an interchangeable module is connected to a WLAN, any smartphone with Wi-Fi capability also connected to the same WLAN can use an appropriate App to communicate with the interchangeable module. In this way, a user can enter a command into their smartphone and send it to the appropriate interchangeable module via the WLAN.
- the smartphone could be in the vicinity of the WLAN access point, or the smartphone could be at a remote location and communicate with the WLAN access point via the Internet if so configured.
- an interchangeable module operating as a Wi-Fi Direct access point/group participant can communicate directly with a smartphone without the requirement of a WLAN.
- the interchangeable module appears as a Wi-Fi access point or SoftAP if the smartphone is not using Wi-Fi Direct to communicate; or if the smartphone is using Wi-Fi Direct to communicate, the interchangeable module and smartphone will negotiate which assumes the Wi-Fi Direct group owner role and establish a peer-to-peer connection. Once a peer-to-peer connection has been established, the user is able to send commands directly to the selected interchangeable module without the need for any other device, intermediary or network.
- the present invention in one preferred embodiment provides an interchangeable module with wireless communication capabilities derived from any number of radios, transceivers and controllers that provide a network Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct connection individually or concurrently with the ability to optionally support Bluetooth.
- the wireless communication capabilities may be achieved by using: any number of discrete radios, aerials, transceivers and controllers either individually, collectively, or as a system in package (SiP) or as a system on chip (SoC); a combination or "combo" chip that aggregates the functionality of a number of discrete transceivers and controllers of different standards as a SiP or SoC; or using a combination of combo chip/s, SiP/s, SoC/s and/or discrete radios, aerials, transceivers and controllers.
- SiP system in package
- SoC system on chip
- the interchangeable module may utilize single or multiple wireless bands, physical channels, virtual channels, modes or other coexistence technologies and algorithms, the methods of which are already known to those skilled in the art and are not described herein.
- the interchangeable module may also include shared antenna support and shared signal receiving paths to eliminate the need for an external splitter.
- the present invention in one preferred embodiment provides an interchangeable module with wireless communications that in a first mode provides a Wi-Fi Direct peer-to- peer connection and in a second mode can be configured by the user to operate as a network Wi-Fi device and connect to a WLAN as a client.
- the interchangeable module preferably has its wireless communications set to initially function in Wi-Fi Direct access point/group participant mode irrespective of its final configuration. Because the Wi-Fi Direct access point/group participant mode is a peer-to- peer connection, as soon as power is applied to the interchangeable module, it can be recognised by a smartphone and a wireless communications link can be established. Once the link is established, the user is able to activate a smartphone App which uses the data path between the smartphone and interchangeable module. Using a smartphone App, the user can set the operational parameters required for a network Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi Direct device, name the device, set an encryption key, enter a password and any other requirements. When this procedure has been completed, the user can command the interchangeable module to "restart", at which time it will configure itself according to the parameters which have been specified during the setup process.
- the interchangeable module would only connect to smartphones that can fully comply with its connection requirements before establishing a communications link. This may include security measures in addition to any native security measures of Wi-Fi Direct such as Wi-Fi Protected Access.
- the smartphone App would configure the necessary parameters for the interchangeable module to connect to a WLAN. When the interchangeable module restarts, it would connect and appear as a client device on the WLAN. It would only be accessible to devices which can also connect to the same WLAN.
- a smartphone App In either mode, a smartphone App is preferably used control the functional capabilities of the interchangeable module.
- the smartphone App In network Wi-Fi mode, the smartphone App communicates with the selected interchangeable module via a WLAN access point.
- Wi- Fi Direct mode the smartphone App communicates directly with the selected interchangeable module
- interchangeable module peer-to-peer If the user has chosen the interchangeable module to operate as both a Wi-Fi Direct device and network Wi-Fi device concurrently, when the interchangeable module restarts it would appear as a client device on the WLAN and as a Wi-Fi Direct access point/group participant. In that way an interchangeable module could allow third parties to control functions via a Wi-Fi Direct connection without having to allow access to the concurrent WLAN connection, thus preventing access to other WLAN devices.
- a Bluetooth peer-to-peer connection between a smartphone and interchangeable module may be used to enter the information for configuration of the interchangeable module as a network Wi-Fi device and/or Wi-Fi Direct access point/group participant operating either individually or concurrently.
- the interface connection is preferably a physical connector designed specifically to allow an interchangeable module to plug into a receptacle on a host device.
- the host device interface connection is preferably integrated into a domestic or commercial appliance, mechanism or device where wireless communication with a smartphone is desirable, but where the permanent embedding of a wireless communication standard is not advantageous. Examples include, but are not limited to: garage door mechanisms, gate mechanisms, motorized blind and awning mechanisms, motorized screen mechanisms, light switches, lighting controllers, power points, power control mechanisms, climate control equipment such as thermostats and air conditioning units, sprinkler and watering systems, pumps, pool filtration systems, gas metering and control equipment, peripheral computer equipment, consumer electronics, whitegoods, vehicles, and alarm systems.
- the interface connection can be performed by using a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector; however it can be appreciated that other suitable connectors can be used without departing from the true scope and spirit of the invention.
- USB Universal Serial Bus
- the interface connection preferably allows commands and information to be passed between an interchangeable module and device at the same time as supplying power from the device to the interchangeable module.
- the present invention in one preferred aspect provides a means for plugging an interchangeable module into a domestic or commercial appliance, mechanism or device to provide a communications interface that allows a standard smartphone, tablet or similar item to act as personal controller through a wireless peer-to-peer communications link and/or a wireless local area network.

- a Wi-Fi Direct connection by virtue of its limited wireless range and peer-to-peer architecture offers a higher level of security because an interchangeable module can only be controlled by a smartphone within wireless range.
- the balance between convenience and security is usually subjective and dependant on the primary role of the host device.
- interchangeable module running as a network Wi-Fi device may be highly convenient with a low level of security risk even if the system were compromised by an external attack.
