SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PAIRING A WIRELESS TRANSCEIVER UNIT FOR SANITARY WARE
First Claim
1. A method for pairing a wireless transceiver unit for sanitary ware, the method comprising:
- emitting a pairing instruction signal from a wireless sender of the wireless transceiver unit;
receiving the emitted pairing instruction signal at one or more wireless receivers and detecting a signal intensity of the pairing instruction signal received at each of the one or more wireless receivers;
returning a pairing response from each of the one or more wireless receivers to the wireless sender, wherein the pairing response returned by a wireless receiver includes an ID of the wireless receiver and an indication of the signal intensity detected at the wireless receiver;
selecting, by the wireless sender, the pairing response indicating the highest detected signal intensity among the pairing responses returned by the one or more wireless receivers; and
storing the ID of the wireless receiver included in the selected pairing response in a local memory of the wireless sender.

Abstract
Systems and methods for pairing a wireless transceiver unit for sanitary ware are provided. An exemplary pairing method includes emitting a pairing instruction signal from a wireless sender of the wireless transceiver unit, receiving the emitted pairing instruction signal at one or more wireless receivers, and detecting a signal intensity of the pairing instruction signal received at each of the one or more wireless receivers. The method further includes returning a pairing response from each of the one or more wireless receivers to the wireless sender. The pairing response includes an ID of the wireless receiver and an indication of the signal intensity detected at the wireless receiver. The method further includes selecting the pairing response indicating the highest detected signal intensity and storing the ID of the wireless receiver included in the selected pairing response.

10. A system for pairing a wireless transceiver unit for sanitary ware, the system comprising:
-
a wireless sender configured to emit a pairing instruction signal; one or more wireless receivers configured to receive the emitted pairing instruction signal and detect a signal intensity of the pairing instruction signal received at each of the one or more wireless receivers; wherein each of the one or more wireless receivers is configured to return a pairing response to the wireless sender, wherein the pairing response returned by a wireless receiver includes an ID of the wireless receiver and an indication of the signal intensity detected at the wireless receiver; wherein the wireless sender is configured to select the pairing response indicating the highest detected signal intensity among the pairing responses returned by the one or more wireless receivers and store the ID of the wireless receiver included in the selected pairing response in a local memory of the wireless sender. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method for triggering an instruction signal for a wireless transceiver unit for sanitary ware, the method comprising:
-
receiving, at a flushing controller, a first input signal from a seat position sensor and a second input signal from a sitting pressure sensor, wherein the first input signal is based on a position of a toilet seat and the second input signal is based on an external pressure applied to the toilet seat; generating, by the flushing controller, a control signal based on at least one of the first input signal and the second input signal; receiving, at a wireless sender, the control signal generated by the flushing controller and emitting at least one of a pairing instruction signal and an operating instruction signal in response to receiving the control signal; and receiving the emitted instruction signal at one or more wireless receivers and determining, by each of the one or more wireless receivers, whether the instruction signal is a pairing instruction signal or an operating instruction signal; wherein the one or more wireless receivers are configured to use the instruction signal to generate and return a pairing response to the wireless sender in response to a determination that the instruction signal is a pairing instruction signal; and wherein the one or more wireless receivers are configured to use the instruction signal to actuate flushing of the toilet in response to a determination that the instruction signal is an operating instruction signal. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
