Background and Market Research

1

Concept

-Create a Smart Home based on a personalized bluetooth signal emitted from a cell phone.

Target

-Create a fully functional network of nodes to control the lighting in multiple rooms.

Market Research

-Market relatively small but growing. Within 10 years could be quite large.

-Very few companies that specialize in design and installation.

-Room for new competitors.

Workstation / Touchscreen

VGA Touchscreen or Monitor w/ Mouse

Only User-Interactive Component

Very Graphical, User Friendly Oriented

Accessible at Entry Way or Common Area

Graphical User Interface

C/C++ and Java Programming Languages

Present User with Login Screen & Options

Predetermined menu of Possible Settings

Expected to Require the Most Research, Development and Testing Time of Project

Host PC (Controller)

Dedicated Workstation to Control All Network Communication Signals

Software Written in C/C++ and Java

Analyze and Record Incoming Sensor Data

Send Respective Control Signals to Devices

Activity Display

Real-Time Display of Current Occupants and their Location Plotted over a Diagram of the Building

Display Activity Log of Incoming as well as Outgoing Occupants

( Feature Optional )

- Use a Wired Ethernet cable for communication between the PC and each node

- If successfully completed, switch to a Wireless Network using 802.11b

- Bluetooth Class 2 Device- Transmits a signal between 10-15 meters- Strong enough to be detected in the room of the user but not too strong to be detected by nodes in different rooms

- Design a device for each node that will block the bluetooth signal from coming through a wall

- Photo sensors placed in each room to detect light in a room - During the day, a light would not be needed when the user walks into a room - Manual switch will also be available for the user for cases when more light is needed

- Recognizing the bluetooth signal at each node is very important for our system to work properly

- Configure the Graphical User Interface for the Workstation to communicate with the Host PC
