Abstract

A wireless remote control system and method thereof use a server for real-time controlling a remote monitoring device and a register. When the data retrieved by the remote monitoring device, such as image, voice or text data are abnormal, the register sends an informing message to the server to request a parameter correction so as to keep the data correctness. In order to complete the data retrieving, the register stores the data until a predetermined time is up. Releasing the registered data from the register to the server when the predetermined time is up allows the reduction of mistaken data transmission.

Claims

1. A wireless remote control system, comprising:

a server, for real-time controlling a remote device and store a data, further comprising;

a user interface, used to setup the parameter settings of the remote device; and

a database, used to store the data;

a monitoring device, used to retrieve the data according the parameter settings; and

a register, for analyzing, storing and transmitting the data from the monitoring device according to the parameter settings;

wherein the data transmission and information communication between the server and the register are performed via a wireless LAN.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the server further comprising at least one Application Programming Interface (API) for data transmission to other application programs via the INTERNET.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the data includes at least one data type.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the user interface is web-based and JAVA-compatible.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the parameter settings include at least one initialization parameter for the initialization of the monitoring device and the register.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the parameter settings include a comparison parameter for determining the data correctness by the register.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the parameter settings include a time parameter for determining when the register feeds back the data.

8. A remote control method, applied to monitor a remote register and a remote monitoring device by a server, the monitoring device connecting to the register, the data transmission and the information communication between the register and the server being performed via a wireless LAN to real-time control the remote devices and store a data, the method comprising the following steps of:

initializing the server;

retrieving the data by the monitoring device in real-time; and

determining the data correctness stored in the register;

feeding back the data when the data is correct, and a predetermined time set is up; and

retrieving the data when the data is correct but the predetermined time set is not up.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the data includes at least one data type.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the step of initializing the server further comprising the following steps of

startting the server;

transmitting a parameter settings from the server;

actuating the monitoring device and the register and store the parameter settings; and

transmitting a success message to the server when the initialization is complete.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the parameter settings include at least one initialization parameter for the initialization of the monitoring device and the register.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein the parameter settings include a comparison parameter for determining the data correctness by the register.

13. The method of claim 10, wherein the parameter settings include a time parameter for determining when the register feeds back the registered data.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein when the initialization of the server fails, a failure message is transmitted to the server and a re-start initialization process is started.

15. The method of claim 8, wherein when the register determines the retrieved data is not correct, a parameter correction process is executed.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the parameter correction process further comprises the following steps of:

transmitting a correction message from the register to the server;

transmitting an informing message from the server;

sending a corrected parameter to the register and the monitoring device after a user performs the parameter correction on the server; and

restarting the register and the monitoring device after the register and the monitoring device have received and updated the corrected parameter settings.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein when the user does not execute the correction on the server, the server continues to inform the user by transmitting the informing message.

18. The method of claim 16, wherein the informing message is in the format of e-mail.

19. The method of claim 16, wherein the informing message is in the format of short message.

20. The method of claim 8, further comprising at least one Application Programming Interface (API) for data transmission to other application programs via INTERNET.
