Intelligent home control bus
First Claim
1. An intelligent home control network having a least one input node and at least one output node, wherein control instructions are input to the input node and transferred to the output node through a control bus, and the output node outputs a logic operation result based on the instructions, the intelligent home control network, comprising:
- the input node being a control device for transmitting data, the input node having at least one input circuit for inputting an input logical state, and the input node having least one event data packet, and wherein the input node transmits the event packet to the control bus when the state of the input circuit is varied;
the output node being a device for receiving data and performing an operation, the output node having at least one output circuit for outputting an output logical state, the output node being responsive to a programming process and having at least one read-write memory for storing programmed data generated in the programming process; and
after receiving the event data packet transmitted from the input node through the control bus, the output node compares the received data packet with the programmed data stored in the memory, and determines the output logical state according to the result of the comparing.

Abstract
This invention is an intelligent home control bus (IHbus). It comprises at least one input node (sensor, announcer) A and at least a output node (operator, listener) L. A control instructions are input from the input node A, and transferred to the output node L through a control bus, and the output node L outputs a logic operation result based on the instructions. The node A is a control device for transmitting data and has at least one input circuit for inputting a special logical state. The node L is a device for receiving data and performing a operation and has at least one output circuit for outputting a special logical state.
