Consumer wireless control system
1. System Overview
This product is a two-button switch unit used in consumer wireless control system.
When the switch button is pressed by the operation of a lever etc. into which this
product is embedded, electric power is generated by its mechanical operation. The
generated electric power is used to transmit information such as which of the two
buttons is pressed using 2.4GHz to a wireless receiver of a wireless control system
installed at a remote location. The wireless receiver that has received the signal reads
the switch unit ID and the state of each button from the signal, and outputs the read
signal to the external devices as a control signal.
The following diagram shows the wireless control system example for the
demonstration purpose. It consists of one Magi’c box (transmitter switch) and one
receiver and a windows 64bit PC.
