SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR REMOTELY INTERACTING WITH ITEMS IN AN ELECTRICAL FIELD AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A method and a system for remotely interacting with items in an electric field affected environment for communicating with a computing device is provided. The system includes a host for receiving commands from a computing device and a client for receiving and performing the signals received from the host. The host sends signals via modulated electric field. The client interacts with the items in the environment to determine their presence and location. The client further includes sensing devices and acting devices for sensing the condition of the items and manipulating the items respectively.

1. A system for remotely interacting with items in an environment for communicating with a computing device, said system said system comprising:
a host connected to an alternating current source in the environment, said host comprising;
a converter for generating DC power from the received AC power from the alternating current source;a generator for generating alternating electric field from contactlessly converted DC power from said converter;a demodulator for receiving and transmitting data from the computing device;a host controller modulates the electric field and further said host controller process data received from said demodulator and further said host controller generates a signal and further generates an identification number for marking each item; anda wireless interface for sending the processed data to the computing device; and one or more clients for interacting with each item affected by the electric field in the environment, said client comprising:
an electric field harvester for enhancing electric field provided by said host within the environment, further said electric field harvester stores DC power from the electric field;a client controller for processing the signal received via the modulated electric field from said host controller, said client controller further reads the identification number for each items received from said host controller and generates a feedback data for said host controller; andan interface for handling the switching operations from said client controller,wherein said host controller transmit the feedback data received from said client controller to said wireless interface and further the feedback data is transmitted to the communicating device.
