COMMUNICATION VIA A POWER WAVEFORM

摘要

Methods of controlling an apparatus based on analysis of an input power waveform supplied to the apparatus. The methods may comprise demodulating a plurality of incoming data packets from the input power waveform. The methods may comprise determining whether N data packets of said plurality of incoming data packets are the same, wherein N is a positive integer having a dynamic value that depends on the input power waveform. The methods may comprise controlling at least one aspect of the apparatus based on said N data packets if said N data packets were determined to be the same. Also disclosed are apparatus corresponding to such methods.
