`
`Authorization or Opt-Out of Authorization to Permit Access:
`
`When this Application Data Sheet is properly signed and filed with the application, applicant has provided written
`authority to permit a participating foreign intellectual property (IP) office access to the instant application-as-filed (see
`paragraph A in subsection 1 below) and the European Patent Office (EPO) access to any search results from the instant
`application (see paragraph B in subsection 1 below).
`
`Should applicant choose not to provide an authorization identified in subsection 1 below, applicant must opt-out of the
`authorization by checking the corresponding box A or B or both in subsection 2 below.
`
`NOTE: This section of the Application Data Sheet is ONLY reviewed and processed with the INITIAL filing of an
`application. After the initial filing of an application, an Application Data Sheet cannot be used to provide or rescind
`authorization for access by a foreign IP office(s). Instead, Form PTO/SB/39 or PTO/SB/69 must be used as appropriate.
`
`1. Authorization to Permit Access by a Foreign Intellectual Property Office(s)
`
`A. Priority Document Exchange (PDX) - Unless box A in subsection 2 (opt-out of authorization) is checked, the
`undersigned hereby grants the USPTO authority to provide the European Patent Office (EPO), the Japan Patent Office
`(JPO), the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), the State Intellectual Property Office of the People's Republic of
`China (SIPO), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and any other foreign intellectual property office
`participating with the USPTO in a bilateral or multilateral priority document exchange agreement in which a foreign
`application claiming priority to the instant patent application is filed, access to: (1) the instant patent application-as-filed
`and its related bibliographic data, (2) any foreign or domestic application to which priority or benefit is claimed by the
`instant application and its related bibliographic data, and (3) the date of filing of this Authorization. See 37 CFR 1.14(h)
`(1).
`
`B. Search Results from U.S. Application to EPO - Unless box B in subsection 2 (opt-out of authorization) is checked,
`the undersigned hereby grants the USPTO authority to provide the EPO access to the bibliographic data and search
`results from the instant patent application when a European patent application claiming priority to the instant patent
`application is filed. See 37 CFR 1.14(h)(2).
`
`The applicant is reminded that the EPO's Rule 141(1) EPC (European Patent Convention) requires applicants to submit a
`copy of search results from the instant application without delay in a European patent application that claims priority to
`the instant application.
`
`2. Opt-Out of Authorizations to Permit Access by a Foreign Intellectual Property Office(s)
`
`A. Applicant DOES NOT authorize the USPTO to permit a participating foreign IP office access to the instant
`q application-as-filed. If this box is checked, the USPTO will not be providing a participating foreign IP office with
`any documents and information identified in subsection 1A above.
`
`B. Applicant DOES NOT authorize the USPTO to transmit to the EPO any search results from the instant patent
`q application. If this box is checked, the USPTO will not be providing the EPO with search results from the instant
`application.
`NOTE: Once the application has published or is otherwise publicly available, the USPTO may provide access to the
`application in accordance with 37 CFR 1.14.

`
`CLAIMS
`
`What is claimed is:
`
`Claims for Patent Application No. 16/503,883
`
`1
`
`A wireless system comprising:
`
`a base unit operatively interfaced with an environmental device for controlling an
`
`environmental condition in a structure;
`
`a receiver associated with said base unit and adapted for receiving a first wireless message from
`
`a remote unit having wireless connectivity, wherein the first wireless message includes a
`
`command to change the setting of an environmental device;
`
`a controller operatively associated with said base unit and operatively connected with the
`
`environmental device for executing the command;
`
`a transmitter operatively associated with the controller for sending a second wireless message
`
`to the remote unit, wherein the second wireless message includes information indicating that
`
`the command has been executed; and
`
`a housing physically supporting the base unit, the environmental device, the communication
`
`interface, the wireless circuit, and the microcontroller.
`
`2.
`
`The system of claim 1, wherein the command is associated with an icon stored on the
`
`cellular remote unit.
`
`3.
`
`The system of claim 1, wherein the environmental device is configured to turn on or off
`
`responsive to the command.
