Automatic garage door automatic monitoring and controlling system based on the internet of things concept and near field communication (NFC) technology
First Claim
1. An automatic garage door automatic monitoring and controlling system based on the Internet of things concept and near field communication (NFC) comprising:
- a door monitoring and controlling device (DMCD) for monitoring the open/close state of the automatic garage door, the DMCD comprising;
one or more near field communication (“
NFC”
) close/open status tag;
a NFC module, the NFC module and the NFC close/open status tag working together for monitoring the open/close state of the automatic garage door;
a NFC tag that shad contain network configuration information, which shall be obtained from a manufacturer or provisioned with an smart phone application provided by manufacture and the DMCD module shall use the network configuration data provided by NFC Lag connecting to a router and to the Internet;
a central processing unit (“
CPU”
) for receiving the close/open status information from the NFC module;
a network interface module for connecting DMCD through a router in the house via a wireless or wired method to the web-based ADMS;
a wireless remote control module for and closing the automatic garage door through the internet; and
a web-based advanced door management system (ADMS) for providing the function of managing device information, collecting current door position status data, sending change door position command, manage user information, accept user request from the Internet, the ADMS comprising;
a user management module for managing users information, authenticating user log into the system, allowing user to setup alarming rules;
a device management module for managing the DMCD information, recording door position status received from the DMCD, sending door status change command to the DMCD according to user command; and
a user client for providing graphic user interface for authenticating user, displaying position status of monitored doors, accepting user setting, and taking command from users.

Abstract
A method and system are provided for remotely monitoring the open and close status of a garage door via the internet based on the internet of things concept and NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. The system includes a Door Monitoring & Controlling Device (DMCD) and a web based Advanced Door Management System. The DMCD contains a NFC module, and one or more NFC close/open status tags which work together to monitor the status of the garage door. The NFC tag in this system not only provides status signal but also provides network configure data that eliminates the need to make standalone device configurable for network connectability. The use of NFC technology here will reduce manufacturing cost significantly, and make the configuration easy. The method and system also enable users to remotely open and close the garage door via the internet.
