Interface systems and methods for portable structures

摘要

An interface system for a portable structure, at least one power supply, at least one wired functional device, and at least one wireless functional device. A power interface is operatively connected to the at least one power supply. A wired interface is operatively connected to the at least one wired functional device. A wireless interface is wirelessly connected to the at least one wireless functional device. A controller is operatively connected to the power interface, the wired interface, and the wireless interface. The controller controls the power interface to distribute power from the at least one power supply to the at least one wired functional device. The controller controls the wired interface to distribute at least one of commands and data to the wired functional device. The controller controls the wireless interface to distribute at least one of commands and data to the wireless functional device.

1. An interface system for an application and a portable structure comprising at least one power supply, at least one wired functional device forming a part of the portable structure, where the interface system is operatively connected to at the least one power supply, the at least one wired functional device, and at least one wireless functional device and the application comprises at least one of commands and data for controlling the at least one power supply, the at least one wired functional device, and the at least one wireless functional device, the interface system comprising:
a hardware interface comprising
a power interface operatively connected to the at least one power supply;a wired interface operatively connected to the at least one wired functional device;a wireless interface wirelessly connected to the at least one wireless functional device; and a controller operatively connected to the power interface, the wired interface, and the wireless interface; whereby the controller runs a software interface system defining an application programming interface in communication with the application and a peripheral programming interface in communication with the power interface, the wired interface, and the wireless interface; the application communicates with the power interface through the software interface system to control distribution of power from the at least one power supply to the at least one wired functional device; the application communicates with the wired interface through the software interface system to distribute at least one of commands and data with the wired functional device; and the application communicates with the wireless interface through the software interface system to distribute at least one of commands and data with the wireless functional device.
