Fixed mobile convergence home control system

摘要

Systems and methods for controlling a building automation system with an FMC cellular device are provided. The FMC cellular device can locally interface with a building automation system via a femtocell base station or a wireless access point, remotely interface with a building automation system over a wide area network via a macrocell base station, or remotely interface with a building automation system via a GAN enabled wireless access point.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a building control system of a building; a femtocell cellular base station located within the building; a wireless access point (WAP) located within the building operating under an IEEE 802.11 protocol; and a cellular device, wherein the building control system communicates on a fixed local network, wherein the femtocell cellular base station and the WAP are coupled directly to the fixed local network via a local router, wherein the cellular device controls the building control system by interfacing with the fixed local network via the femtocell cellular base station, wherein the cellular device alternatively controls the building control system by interfacing with the fixed local network via the WAP, and wherein data transmitted from the femtocell cellular base station and the WAP is monitored by the building control system and responsive thereto, the building control system transmits commands to the cellular device via the femtocell cellular base station or the WAP.
