Energy management in smart home environment is nowadays a crucial aspect on which technologies have been focusing on in order to save costs and minimize energy waste. This goal can be reached by means of an energy resource scheduling strategy provided by a suitable optimization technique. To improve the efficacy of the home appliance for energy management lot of study have been made. For smart ...

This paper describes the design and implementation of a home network system using UPnP middleware and an embedded interface device. The developed home network system comprises a home server program, appliance emulators; (e.g., for l'K refrigerator, and airconditioner), and an embedded interface device for networked home appliances.

A novel gaze tracking system for controlling home appliances in 3D space is proposed in this study. Our research is novel in the following four ways. First, we propose a nonwearable gaze tracking system containing frontal viewing and eye tracking cameras. Second, our system includes three modes: navigation (for moving the wheelchair depending on the direction of gaze movement), selection (for s...

This paper presents a framework for formalizing and detecting feature interactions (FIs) in the emerging smart home domain. We first establish a model of home network system (HNS), where every networked appliance (or the HNS environment) is characterized as an object consisting of properties and methods. Then, every HNS service is defined as a sequence of method invocations of the appliances. W...

Home networking is becoming an essential part of everyday life. However, empirical studies and consumer reports indicate that the complexities of configuring and maintaining the home network impose a high barrier for most householders. In this paper, we explore the sources of the complexity of the home network, and describe a solution we have built to address this complexity. We have developed ...

The U.S takes a major role in the area of Smart Appliance Home Control Network technology for decades. The most popular solutions for this technology at this time include wired and wireless. Today, the benefit of remove control system in the house has been enjoyed. As the fast growth of wireless technology, a convergence of sensor devices and home appliances, wireless system is now a movement t...
