UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF
DR. HARIPRASAD S A
PROFESSOR AND HEAD, ECE DEPARTMENT
MR. DRUVA KUMAR S
ASST. PROFESSOR, ECE DEPARTMENT

2. PROBLEMS ADDRESSED
LACK OF MOBILITY IN
DEPENDENTS AND DISABLED
PEOPLE
MEANS OF ENTERTAINMENT AND
INFORMATION GATHERING IS ONLY
TELEVISION SET
PERSONAL COMPUTERS ACT AS A
DIGITAL DIVIDE
SCEPTICAL AND UNPREPARED
FOR NEW TECHNOLOGIES

3. PROPOSED SYSTEM
 FAMILIAR TV SET TO BE USED AS USER
INTERFACE
 TV SET AS THE CENTRE FOR TELE-ASSISTANCE
AND CONTROL OF HOME AUTOMATION DEVIES
 HOME THEATRE PERSONAL COMPUTER(HTPC)

4. INTRODUCTION
 APPLICATION OF NEW TECHNOLOGY TOIMPROVE THE QUALITY OF
LIFE OF THE FOSTERS
 USE OF TV REMOTE AS THE OPERATING DEVICE OVERCOMES THE
INITIAL RELUCTANCE TOUSE NEW DEVICES
 MONITORING OF VITAL SIGN, REHABILITATION GANES, SOCIAL
NETWORKING, EDUCATION VIDEOS, HOME AUTOMATION CONTROL
ARE THE BASIC SERVICES OFFERED
 SPECIFICALLY TAILORED HTPCSYSTEMS

5. HOME THEATRE PERSONAL COMPUTER

6. HOME THEATRE PERSONAL COMPUTER
FEATURES:
1. TELEVISION CONNECTIVITY
2. REMOTE CONTROL – way of controlling HTPC
from a distance
3. TV TUNER CARDS – television programs onto a
hard disk
4. EXTERNAL AND NETWORK STORAGE –
providing higher than average capabilities

7. NETWORK CONNECTIVITY

8. APPLICATIONS
1. TELE ASSISTANCE
2. MEASUREMENT OF
BIOMEDICAL
PARAMETERS
3. HOME AUTOMATION

9. 1. TELE - ASSISTANCE
A TV SET IS A PASSIVE DEVICE – user
is a spectator for displayed information
HTPC connected to TV
High degree of modularity, additional
peripherals
WiiMOTE
Service Oriented Architecture(SOA)

10. WIIMOTE
 Integrated Gyroscopes
 Accelerometers
 Push button control
 Motion detection
 Bluetooth connectivity with HTPC

11. WIIMOTE

12. USER SCREEN INTERFACES

13. 2. BIOMEDICAL PARAMETERS
HTPC serves as a gateway between
measurement sensors and data centre
Application of information and
communication technology for home
monitoring
Two major parts are
A. Measuring biomedical parameters
B. Accessto remotelystored data

14. A. MEASUREMENT OF BIOMEDICAL PARAMETERS
1. ON-DEMAND
 User takes the initiative to carry out the test
 Example: For measuring Blood Pressure, the
sphygmomanometer takes the measurement
and values are transmitted through the gateway
 SOAP protocol
 Username – password or Smart Card
authentication

15. A. MEASUREMENT OF BIOMEDICAL PARAMETERS

16. A. MEASUREMENT OF BIOMEDICAL PARAMETERS
2. REMOTE WARNING MODE
•TV Screen prompts the user
about the test to be taken
•The process is
repeated as in case of
On- Demand after the
measurement is done

17. B. ACCESS TO REMOTELY STORED DATA

18. 3. HOME AUTOMATION
CONSTRAINTS:
A simpletask toswitchon and offthe lights might
be difficultfor people with disability
Different technology adaptation:GSMbased,
Wi-FiBased, Android App Based
Custom solutionsby differentvendors

19. 3. HOME AUTOMATION

20. 3. HOME AUTOMATION
 HTPC gives the flexibility to integrate different
modules from different protocols
 Television set becomes the centre of home
automation
 BUSSING PROTOCOL
1. Each device is connected to a bus having UIN
2. Unique identifier for destination bus
3. ETHBus as Ethernet- Busing- Bridge
 Ability to detect, send and receive data from
devices such as motion sensors in other rooms,
front doors, etc

21. PAPER VS. PROJECT
PARAMATERS TECHNICAL PAPER FINAL PROJECT
1. INTERNET, WI-FI EXTENSIVELY USED NOT USED AT ALL
2. MODULES HTPC, GSM, DATABASE
MANAGEMENT(STATIC
and DYNAMIC)
SPEECH PROCESSING,
GSM, STATIC DATABASE
MANAGEMENT
3. COMPLEXITY EXTENSIVE USE OF
PERIPHERALS, MORE
NUMBER OF
PROTOCOLS INVOLVED
ONLY SENSOR
NETWORK ALONG WITH
STATIC SWITCH
4. ADAPTATION PEOPLE WITH MINOR
DISABLITY, ELDERLY
AND RESISTANT TO
TECHNOLOGY
PEOPLE WITH SERIOUS
DISABILITIES
