CONTROLLING SETTINGS AND ATTRIBUTES RELATED TO OPERATION OF DEVICES IN A NETWORK

摘要

Techniques are described for controlling attributes and/or settings related to operation of devices via a wireless network. An access device can determine a status of a configurable attribute/setting related to operation of a device (e.g., a home automation network device that can control a home appliance) connected to the network. The computing device can execute an application that can generate and display a graphical interface including an interactive area or an interactive element to control the device. The interactive element or the graphical interface can indicate a current value for the setting/attribute. The interactive area or element can be adjustable to adjust the setting/attribute. An adjusted value of the setting/attribute can be communicated to the network which can cause operation of the device to be controlled based on the adjusted value. The computing device can modify the graphical interface to indicate the adjusted value of the setting/attribute.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
determining, by a computing device, that a device is connected to a network; determining, by the computing device, a current value of a setting related to operation of the device, wherein the setting is adjustable between a plurality of values; generating a graphical interface, wherein the graphical interface includes an interactive area corresponding to the device, wherein the graphical interface indicates the current value of the setting, and wherein interaction with the interactive area causes an adjustment to the current value of the setting; displaying the graphical interface; receiving input corresponding to an interaction with the interactive area, wherein the input corresponds to an adjustment that indicates an amount to change the setting from the current value to an adjusted value; transmitting the adjustment, wherein the operation of the device is controlled based on the transmitted adjustment; and modifying the graphical interface based on the adjustment, wherein the modified graphical interface indicates the adjusted value of the setting.
