  • Patent number: 9444893
    Abstract: A network power control module includes a switch and a processor installed in at least one electronic device within an area. The switch is electrically coupled to a first external power supply and the electronic device, and the processor includes a communication module in electrical communication with a control device at a remote end via a router of the area for receiving a control signal and then switching the switch to output or stop outputting voltage of the first external power supply to the electronic device, so that users can control the electronic devices at a remote control freely without requiring complicated network configurations to facilitate the schedule management for household affairs and improve the users' comfortability and home security effectively.

  • Patent number: 9237445
    Abstract: A heterogeneous network control system uses an application platform to connect a signal processor through a first signal telecommunication, and connect the signal processor to a signal converter through a second signal telecommunication, and connect the signal converter to a terminal through a third signal telecommunication. When signals are transmitted from the application platform to the terminal via a signal transmission path, the first signal is converted into a second signal by the signal processor, and the second signal is converted into a third signal by the signal converter. When signals are transmitted from the terminal to the application platform via the signal transmission path, the signal is converted in an opposite way. The first signal is a 3G, 4G, WiFi, powerline or Bluetooth signal, and the second signal is a WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, powerline, EnOcean or Zwave signal. The system provides a communication mode for a heterogeneous network.

  • Publication number: 20150070884
    Abstract: A multifunctional lamp includes a lamp module and an installing plate. The lamp module includes an aluminum extruded base with an installing portion disposed at the front side of the base for installing an electric power control board and an LED lamp panel, and both electric power control board and LED lamp panel are covered by a lamp cover to achieve a waterproof effect. The base backside has an embedding slot for embedding the installing plate, and the installing plate has a screw hole. The base backside also has a magnetic portion or a through hole and a Velcro tape, such that the lamp can be fixed by a screwing, hanging, magnetic attraction or tying method. In addition, both ends of the lamp module have a waterproof DC input interface provided for a serial connection for an extension to fit the use at different places.
