Abstract

A method for controlling a wireless smart display panel. The method uses a sensor to monitor environmental information, such as temperature or humidity, and the information is transmitted to a processor by using a wireless communication device that is compatible with IEEE 802.15.4. Moreover, the environmental information is converted to image information and displayed on a display device through the processor. Consequently, users understand outward environmental information in time.

Claims

1. A method for controlling a wireless smart display panel comprising:

(100) sensing environmental information by a sensor of a sensor module;

(200) transferring the environmental information to a second wireless transmission unit via the a first wireless transmission unit;

(300) transferring the environmental information to a processor and then converting into an image information, with the processor further comprising a database; and

(400) displaying the image information on a display device.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first or second wireless transmission unit is a ZigBee.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the processor is a computer.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the processor is a system-on-a-chip (SOC) or system-on-package (SOP).

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step (400) further comprising:

(410) identifying a format of the environmental information;

(420) comparing the environmental information with the database of the processor and then obtaining a corresponding data; and

(430) outputting the data.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the display device is a liquid crystal display device.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the display device is an organic light emitting diode (OLED) panel.
