Secure remote actuation system

Abstract

There is disclosed a secure remote actuation system that includes a network storing one or more acceptable inputs. The system also includes a central signal switch disposed inside an enclosure. The central signal switch stores therein the one or more acceptable inputs and user codes, which comprise a succession of the acceptable inputs. The system further includes a remote input receptor that, in turn, includes a user interface with a communication tilt plate that has a front side and a back side. The front side includes an outer touch surface. The back side includes electronic components mounted thereon, a raised center pivot and a plurality of spring loaded switches mounted thereon disposed around the periphery of the back side. As such, tilting the communication tilt plate by pressing proximate the periphery of the outer touch surface will activate two or more of the spring-loaded switches mounted on the back side of the tilt plate, thereby transmitting the one or more user codes. The system also includes a microcontroller for obtaining and comparing said one or more acceptable inputs to said one or more user codes. The system also includes a web application for receiving the one or more acceptable inputs and the user codes for a user. The web application is in electronic communication with the microcontroller and communicates information pertaining to recent user interactions with the secure remote actuation system to the user through the remote input receptor. The microcontroller obtains the one or more acceptable inputs from the network after the user begins to use the interface.
