Abstract

A home use active remote encryption and switching device is revealed. Transmission of remote images and information as well as switching of home appliances is controlled by wireless communication. The home use active remote encryption and switching device includes at least one video mobile phone with specific permission, a signal receiving interface receiving signals from the mobile phone, a digital signal processor that decrypts and modulates signals from the mobile phone, a central processing unit that integrates and converts decrypted signals into switching signals, and a storage device storing audio/video signals. Thereby signals from the video mobile phone are transmitted to the remote signal receiving interface by wireless communication equipments. Then the signals are decrypted by the digital signal processor, converted into switching signals by the central processing unit, and sent to home appliances. Thus remote switching of home appliances is achieved under the control of the video mobile phone.

Claims

1. A home use active remote encryption and switching device that sends remote images and information as well as controls on/off of remote home appliances by wireless communication comprising:

at least one video mobile phone that is a specific video mobile phone for sending or receiving encrypted signals by a wireless telecommunications system;

a remote video recorder that is an image recording unit for video recording and monitoring of the home appliance;

a signal receiving interface that is a remote receiver for sending or receiving the encrypted signals from the video mobile phone by the wireless telecommunications system;

a digital signal processor that is a processor for decrypting and modulating the encrypted signals received by the signal receiving interface;

a central processing unit that receives images from the remote video recorder and decrypted signals from the digital signal processor, output audio/video signals to be stored and to the signal receiving interface for being further sent to the specific video mobile phone, and output switching signals to the home appliance;

a storage device that receives the audio/video signals from the central processing unit and stores the audio/video signals;

a sensor disposed in the home appliance, detecting an external condition of the home appliance and sending sensing signals to the remote video recorder so that the sensing signals together with images from the remote video recorder are sent to the central processing unit; and

a receiver arranged at the home appliance and receiving the switching signals from the central processing unit so as to make the home appliance execute the switching signals.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the video mobile phone supports at least 3^rd generation of standards for mobile telecommunications and mobile phones services.

3. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the storage device is a memory storage device of the video mobile phone.

4. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the storage device is a cloud storage platform of telecommunications systems.
