First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for controlling remote devices using a clouds infrastructure, comprising;
- receiving device configuration information from devices to be controlled at a translation gateway;
receiving grouping information for the devices to be controlled from a user, at a computing device, wherein the grouping information includes relationships between the devices to be controlled and at least one translation gateway;
receiving login information at the computing device;
presenting the device configuration and grouping information based at least in part on the login information;
receiving user inputs related to the grouping information; and
controlling the devices to be controlled based at least in part on the received user inputs related to the grouping information,wherein the controlling comprises sending information to the devices to be controlled at least in part via the translation gateway from the computing device.

Abstract
Systems, software, and methods are provided for controlling many remote gateways that reside at a single site or location and mesh all devices attached to the gateways into one virtualized list of devices for the purpose of controlling, monitoring or using a triggers for control or monitoring without the need to know which gateway a particular device is associated with, or other detailed device or gateway specific information.

7. A non-volatile commuter readable medium, having stored thereon instructions, which if executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
-
receive device configuration information from devices to be controlled at a translation gateway; receive grouping information for the devices to be controlled from a user, at a computing device, wherein the grouping information comprises location information, and relationships between the devices to be controlled and at least one translation gateway; receive login information at the computing device; present the device configuration and grouping information based at least in part on the login information; receive user inputs related to the grouping information; and control the devices to be controlled based at least in part on the received user inputs related to the grouping information, wherein the control the devices comprises sending information to the devices to be controlled at least in part via the translation gateway. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A system for controlling devices, comprising:
-
a gateway configured to send and receive information from a device to be controlled, the received information comprising device configuration information; and a computing system capable of sending and receiving information to and from the gateway, the computing system further capable of presenting information related to the device to be controlled and the gateway, and receiving grouping information related to the devices to be controlled and the gateway;
wherein the grouping information is used at least in part to control the devices,wherein the gateway is configured to receive information from the device in one protocol and translate that information to a second protocol to be sent to the computing system, wherein the gateway is configured to receive information from the computing system in the second protocol and translate that information to the first protocol to be sent to the device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
