DIGITAL AND ANALOG FILTERING SCHEMA
A method for wireless communication includes communicating with a first wireless device via a first wireless communication protocol selected from multiple wireless communication protocols. The method also includes communicating with a wireless network via a second wireless communication protocol selected from multiple wireless communication protocols. The communications via the first wireless communication protocol and the second wireless communication protocol are filtered via a digital filter and/or an analog filter.
1 . A system, comprising:
a first wireless device;
a second wireless device connected to the first wireless device via a first wireless communication protocol of a plurality of wireless communication protocols, the second wireless device comprising at least a digital filter and an analog filter for filtering communications received via the first wireless communication protocol; and
a wireless network connected to the second wireless device via a second wireless communication protocol of the plurality of wireless communication protocols, the second wireless device dynamically selecting a wireless communication protocol from the plurality of wireless communication protocols for either the first wireless communication protocol or the second wireless communication protocol based on specific criteria.
2 . The system of claim 1 , in which the specific criteria is received from the first wireless device.
3 . The system of claim 2 , in which the specific criteria is based on a battery level, a power usage of the wireless communication protocol, a type of communication, a type of action to be performed, or a combination thereof.
4 . The system of claim 1 , in which the specific criteria is a battery level of the second wireless device such that a specific wireless communication protocol is selected when the battery level of the second wireless device is less than a threshold configured by an application of the second wireless device.
5 . The system of claim 1 , in which the specific criteria is based on an output of at least the digital filter, the analog filter, or a combination thereof.
6 . The system of claim 1 , in which the plurality of wireless communication protocols comprises a long-range wireless communication protocol and a close-range wireless communication protocol.
7 . The system of claim 6 , in which the long-range wireless communication protocol comprises WiFi and the close-range wireless communication protocol comprises ZigBee or Bluetooth.
8 . The system of claim 1 , in which the first wireless communication protocol is a same wireless protocol as the second wireless communication protocol.
9 . The system of claim 1 , in which the first wireless communication protocol is a different wireless protocol as the second wireless communication protocol.
10 . The system of claim 1 , in which the second wireless device comprises a preferred list of wireless communication protocols for communicating with the first wireless device, and the first wireless communication protocol is selected based on the preferred list of wireless communication protocols.
11 . The system of claim 1 , in which the first wireless device is a remote control.
12 . A method for wireless communication, comprising:
communicating, via a first wireless device, with a second wireless device via a first wireless communication protocol of a plurality of wireless communication protocols;
communicating, via the first wireless device, with a wireless network via a second wireless communication protocol of the plurality of wireless communication protocols, communications via the first wireless communication protocol and the second wireless communication protocol being filtered via at least a digital filter and an analog filter; and
selecting, at the first wireless device, a wireless communication protocol from the plurality of wireless communication protocols for either the first wireless communication protocol or the second wireless communication protocol based on specific criteria.
13 . The method of claim 12 , in which the specific criteria is received from the second wireless device.
14 . The method of claim 13 , in which the specific criteria is based on a battery level, a power usage of the wireless communication protocol, a type of communication, a type of action to be performed, or a combination thereof.
15 . The method of claim 12 , in which the specific criteria is a battery level of the first wireless device such that a specific wireless communication protocol is selected when the battery level of the first wireless device is less than a threshold configured by an application of the first wireless device.
16 . The method of claim 12 , in which the specific criteria is based on an output of at least the digital filter, the analog filter, or a combination thereof.
17 . The method of claim 12 , in which the plurality of wireless communication protocols comprises a long-range wireless communication protocol and a close-range wireless communication protocol.
18 . The method of claim 17 , in which the long-range wireless communication protocol comprises WiFi and the close-range wireless communication protocol comprises ZigBee or Bluetooth.
19 . The method of claim 12 , in which the first wireless communication protocol is a same wireless protocol as the second wireless communication protocol.
20 . The method of claim 12 , in which the first wireless communication protocol is a different wireless protocol as the second wireless communication protocol.
21 . The method of claim 12 , in which at least the first wireless communication protocol is selected based on a preferred list of wireless communication protocols.
22 . The method of claim 12 , in which the first wireless device is a remote control.
