  • Patent number: 11126339
    Abstract: A system (100) comprising a mobile communication terminal (1) and a buildings engineering system GT is disclosed. The mobile communication terminal has a display unit (4) and an input unit (3), preferably a combined input and display unit (4), a near-field communication interface (5) and a control unit SE. The control unit SE is set up to use the near-field communication interface (5) to read at least one parameter P of the buildings engineering system GT and to provide said parameter for software application 6 executed by the mobile communication terminal (1), wherein the software application is designed to take the at least open parameter P as a basis for depicting a user interface (9) on the display unit (2) and to evaluate a user input on the user interface (9) via the input unit (3) and to send actuation data based on the user input to the buildings engineering system GT. The mobile communication terminal (1) is preferably a smartphone or a tablet.

  • Patent number: 10936523
    Abstract: The invention relates to a communication module for connecting a lighting bus system (1) to a network (3) based on an internet protocol, wherein each component (2a . . . 2f) coupled to the bus system (1) is assigned a unique bus address, the communication module (4) is assigned a plurality of network addresses, at least one of the plurality of network addresses contains the bus address of a component (2a . . . 2f) and the communication module (4) is designed to receive data transmitted to the at least one network address from the network (3), to extract the bus address of the component (2a . . . 2f) from the network address, to determine data to be transmitted to the component (2a . . . 2f) by using the extracted bus address on the basis of the received data, and to transmit the determined data to the component (2a . . . 2f) having the extracted bus address via the bus system (1), or to provide the data generated autonomously by a component (2a . . .
