NETWORK POWER CONTROL MODULE

摘要

A network power control module includes a switch and a processor installed in at least one electronic device within an area. The switch is electrically coupled to a first external power supply and the electronic device, and the processor includes a communication module in electrical communication with a control device at a remote end via a router of the area for receiving a control signal and then switching the switch to output or stop outputting voltage of the first external power supply to the electronic device, so that users can control the electronic devices at a remote control freely without requiring complicated network configurations to facilitate the schedule management for household affairs and improve the users' comfortability and home security effectively.

主权项

1. A network power control module, installed in at least one electronic device within an area, and in electrical communication with a control device at a remote end through a router in the area, for receiving a control signal transmitted from the control device to control the operating status of the electronic device, comprising:
a switch, electrically coupled to a first external power supply and the electronic device; a power supply, electrically coupled to the first external power supply for converting an AC voltage of the first external power supply into a DC operating voltage; and a processor, in electrical communication with the switch, and electrically coupled to the power supply, for accessing the operating voltage, and the processor having a communication module for automatically connecting the router during the operation and automatically obtaining an internet protocol (IP) address via a wireless network or an Ethernet, wherein the processor supports at least one of the Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) interface, Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface, Audio Interface and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) function, such that when the processor receives the control signal through the communication module, the control signal is analyzed to produce an operation request and operation data to trigger the switch to be turned on or off to output the first external power supply to the electronic device according to the operation request, or execute the operation data through the Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) interface, the Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface, the Audio Interface or the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) function according to the operation request.
