An EEG-based brain-computer system for automating home appliances is proposed in this study. Brain-computer interface (BCI) system provides direct pathway between human brain and external computing resources or external devices. The system translates thought into action without using muscles through a number of electrodes attached to the user’s scalp. The BCI technology can be used by disabled ...

In this paper, we describe a multi-modal interface that allows use of voice and gesture commands for controlling distributed home appliances used by people with disabilities. The main objective of this study is combined with nonverbal and verbal interface for intuitive and efficient control that uses hands-free operation. The pointing gesture by facing as nonverbal interface represents selectin...

The smart home technology controls the electronic devices in home environment using mobile phones. There are few solutions available in market to control home appliance electronic devices. One of the solutions is to control each device using a separate remote control. There are two problems associated with this solution. Firstly, it is difficult to manage separate controller for each device and...

Most of the ac-ac converters used in home-appliances are based on single-output dc-link inverters, which provides a cost-effective and straight-forward solution. However, this twostage power conversion decreases power density and efficiency. Direct ac-ac conversion has been thoroughly studied in the past. However, the complex control scheme and higher cost has prevented it from being used in lo...

With the development of intelligent home appliance technology, realtime home appliance status information is now generated in large quantities. New technology is necessary in order to process the large amount of status information that is generated every day. An innovative technology that has recently been used to process large amounts of data is cloud computing. Therefore, in this paper, we pr...

In this paper, we have reported an effective implementation for Internet of Things used for monitoring home appliances. we presents wireless sensor networks based real time power management system to control and monitor the power consumption of electrical appliances in a home. Current sensor and voltage sensor is placed at electrical load to sense the current and voltage , it calculates the pow...

This document proposes the use of SIP for Network-capable appliances. It leverages standard SIP capabilities to directly communicate with appliances even when they are behind firewalls, NATs or other entities that prevent direct end-to-end communication. When combined with the recently proposed Instant Messaging and Presence SIP extensions these techniques become even more powerful to allow the...

A ZigBee-Based Intelligent Household Electricity Monitoring and Control Information System (ZBEMCIS) is proposed. The system is composed of hardware and software. The hardware consists of sensors, a ZigBee-based gateway, and a client, while the system software is divided into three layers: the data service layer, the logic layer and the user layer. The sensors collect the data from electric equ...

Intelligent home furnishing network is to build a communication network in a home furnishing, various appliances connected to each other, to realize the remote use and control of intelligent home furnishing all devices on a network and any required information exchange. First of all to establish a communication network in a home furnishing, provide the necessary pathway for family information, ...
