| 20090106122 | Method and Apparatus for Simplified E-Commerce Shopping Via Home Shopping Terminals - In a method and apparatus for connecting an e-shopping facility for example such as an e-concierge station or an e-service or merchandise provide, with an e-shopping or merchandise provider, with an e-shopping appliance for example such as a television interphone monitor or a central processing unit or terminal, via a communications network such as for example a private network, public network or internet and through an interface unit e-shopping software programs are installed into the memory of the central processing unit which selects processing and ordering e-service and/or e-merchandize on the basis of the programs. A stopping signal is generated and propagated between the shopping appliance and the interface unit and processed through the interface unit. An interfaced shopping signal is then communicated between the shopping appliance and the e-shopping appliance and the e-shopping facility. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090121842 | Method and Apparatus for Operating AC Powered Appliances Via Video Interphones, Two Way IR Drivers and Remote Control Devices - A method for coupling at least one of a wall mount and a ceiling mount adjustable IR driver with a two way IR network of an home automation system controlled by a main controller selected from a group comprising a dedicated controller, a video interphone and a shopping terminal, said IR driver includes a plurality of adjustable IR transmitters and at least one IR receiver for propagating IR commands to at least one of hand held IR remote control units, electrical appliances and devices selected from a group comprising a remotely operated relays, an AC current sensors and a keypads, and for receiving from at least one of said devices a status data, said IR commands include at least a power on-off command for switching an appliance on and off and said status data pertaining to the on and off statuses of a commanded appliance | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090141117 | Method and Apparatus for Connecting and Operating Lockers for Home Deliveries via Video Interphones and Remotely Via a Virtual Doorman - A method and apparatus for connecting and operating plurality of lockers in a multi apartment or multi office building connected via an interface to a video interphone system and via a local guardman or a virtual guardman over a network, for providing access to the building and opening a locker for a deliveryman to deliver packages, parcels and ordered goods. The tenants receiving a message through their video interphone monitor can retrieve the deliveries by opening the specific locker from their video interphone monitor, through the entry panel and through associated accessories. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20100053838 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REMOTELY OPERATING AC POWERED APPLIANCES FROM VIDEO INTERPHONES OR SHOPPING TERMINALS - A method for adding and connecting a remotely operated SPDT relay to an electric power circuit of an AC appliance connected to a manually actuated electrical SPDT switch for integrating said AC appliance into an home automation network, each said relay and said SPDT switch includes a pole terminal and dual traveler terminals and said relay is similar to a shape and a size of an AC switch fit for installation into a standard electrical box. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100278537 | Method and Apparatus for Connecting AC Powered Switches, Current Sensors and Control Devices Via Two Way IR, Fiber Optic and Light Guide Cables - A method for connecting an AC powered device, which has an optical receiver, with a control circuit, which has an optical transmitter, using at least on optical medium cable includes the steps of terminating the cable at both of its ends, introducing the processed cable between the receiver and transmitter, attaching and securing one end of the processed cable to the transmitter and the other end of the processed cable to the receiver, and propagating a one way optical signal including control commands from the control circuit to the powered device. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20100316237 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SIMPLIFIED INTERCONNECTION AND CONTROL OF AUDIO COMPONENTS OF AN HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM - A method and apparatus for distributing stereo signal of an audio system integrated with an home automation system. The audio system is further integrated with intercom and video intercom including the controlling of the intercom communications and the home automation appliances via a network and the Internet. The stereo signals are encoded and distributed from a selector/encoder, via distributors or directly to speakers via at least one single twisted pair carrying the encoded signals multiplexed with serial signals and with microphone signals for communicating with the intercom or with e-station via the network or the Internet. The multiplexed signals are propagated via the same twisted pair that also feeds a constant current to the system devices or providing power via separated twisted pair. The speakers include wired or wireless remote control receivers and transmitters for propagating remote control signals. The system is flexible and can be connected in many configurations using fitted network cables and connectors. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20110080114 | Method and Apparatus for Attaching Polyhedron Cover to an Illuminator and Operating It - A method and a combination for assembling of an illuminator and a decorative cover made of polyhedron structure, imprinted with design motifs and/or used in restaurants and other service institutions for decoration and for commercial presentations including menus and listed service. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20110110673 | Method and Apparatus for Coupling Optical Signal with Packaged Circuits Via Optical Cables and Lightguide Couplers - Method and apparatus for coupling electrical and communication circuits, included in a packaged semiconductor comprising photo receivers, photo transmitters and photovoltaic cells, through lightguide and optical fiber cables. The packaged semiconductor combinations comprise one, two or plurality of photo elements for a single or plurality one way optical signal, receive or transmit, and a single or plurality of two way optical signal communications via direct optical links and via optical prisms, filters, half mirrors and lenses. The packaged semiconductor includes at least one optical access to a single or plurality of lightguides or optical fiber with single core and for multicore lightguides. A built-in or attachable holders are used for attaching the different lightguide cables to the one or plurality of optical accesses with the attached cable end is terminated by cutting, trimming and shaping. The packaged circuit comprising electrical switches, current sensors, basic elements such as diodes, transistors and FETs, switches and power switches and different basic electrical circuit and communication, distribution circuits including CPU, DSP and complex semiconductor circuits, as used for communicating within limited short distances through optical network of lightguides and fiber optical cables. A packaged semiconductor of an SPDT power switch circuit is integrated with an SPDT manually activated switch, for providing dual switching for lights and other electrical appliances, via manual action and remotely via the lightguide or the optical fiber. | 05-12-2011 |
