METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AMBIENT SYSTEM COMTROL
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for ambient system control, comprising:
- detecting a first signal from a source at a first detection device;
determining that the signal comprises a first command;
activating a second detection device proximate to the source, wherein the second detection device has less available power than the first detection device;
detecting a second signal from the source at the second detection device;
determining that the second signal comprises a second command; and
acting upon the second command.

19. A method for ambient system control, comprising:
-
detecting a signal from a source at a first detection device; determining that the signal comprises a command; providing the signal to a second detection device; translating, by the second detection device, the signal into a device instruction; and providing the device instruction to a target device. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)
