Method and system for communicating between a first item of equipment and one or more other items of equipment

Abstract

A method and system for communicating between a first item of equipment and one or more other items of destination equipment implemented through a communication network, each item of equipment being identified on the communication network via an identifier based on its geographical coordinates. The method includes dispatching a message via the first item of equipment to each destination item of equipment, the message being in accordance with a determined communication protocol and including a first item of information defining a zone of influence corresponding to a determined geographical zone with respect to which each item of destination equipment determines whether the message is relevant to it.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and systems for communicating between a first device and one or more other devices. The invention also relates to devices employed in the communication system. Background technique [0002] For certain applications, such as eg the control of light, it is becoming increasingly common to use wireless technologies. The light can be controlled via a wireless link by means of a transmitter which communicates with a receiver which is equipped with an output for outputting a switch-on signal to the light. In order to communicate, the transmitter must be known to the receiver. Therefore, the method of coupling the transmitter and receiver must be implemented prior to normal use of the transmitter / receiver assembly. If a given transmitter is associated with a large number of receivers, for example to control a large number of lights, each receiver must be coupled to the transmitter. Existing solutions are less than s...
