This document discusses controlling and monitoring external embedded devices using Android frameworks. It presents an overview of the Android Open Accessory protocol for communication between peripherals and Android devices. It then summarizes 5 papers that implement various systems using an Android Development Kit (ADK) connected via USB, including a home automation system, wireless monitoring system, heart rate monitor, personal health monitoring system, and wireless optical access system. It identifies issues with relying solely on Arduino boards as the ADK and proposes developing a device driver for a Linux-based system to interface with devices over various buses and GPIO pins in a more flexible way.

4. INTRODUCTION
 What is AOA??
(ANDROID OPEN ACCESSORY)
 Simple USB protocol for communication between
peripherals and Android devices
 Accessory is the host, Android is the device
 Bi-directional communication over two bulk
endpoints
 Protocol for associating Android applications with
the hardware they support

6. USB
Host
 Controls the entire bus
 Keeps track of all attached devices and hubs
 Initiates communication with the devices
 Is a power source
Devices
 Communicates only with the host through
endpoints
 Implements standard or vendor specific functions
 Can draw power from the host

8. NEED FOR AOA PROTOCOL/ADK HOST
 Peripheral support of typical android gadget
 Adding more peripherals like temperature
sensor,CANBus support,SPI,I2C,PWM etc?
 With/without rooting of android device
 Android USB Host capabilities
 USB device capabilities of android gadget
 Alternatives for USB – Bluetooth,WiFi etc.
 Designing rich UI for your hardware control.

10. ADK HOST
 In this protocol android gadget is kept in device
mode and external hardware will be chosen in host
mode.
 Any hardware with USB host capabilities and
capable of supplying a power of 5V@500mA to the
android
 device can be chosen for this purpose, which is
called as Android Accessory Development Kit(ADK)
or Accessory Host Simple USB communication with
two bulk end
points

11. PAPER 1:-HOME AUTOMATION AND SECURITY
SYSTEM USING ANDROID ADK
• The system proposed in design a home automation
and security using android ADK(accessory
Development kit).
• The system has
– A standalone embedded system board android ADK.
– Home appliances are connected to ADK and android
mobile devices or tablet.
– All sensor’s are connected to input/output port of
embedded system board

13. PAPER 2:-WIRELESS MONITORING AND
CONTROL SYSTEM VIA ANDROID
 Industrial remote monitoring and control systems
are usually based on PC, but it can hardly be
applied to fields that need mobile communication.
 Along with the developing of wireless
communication technology and mobile device,
using mobile devices to realize wireless remote
monitoring and control becomes possible and has
vast development space.

15. PAPER 3:- THE SMARTPHONE ACCESSORY
HEART RATE MONITOR
 Smartphone accessory that aims to determine the
human heart rate, especially for cardiac patients
who need to monitor their heart rate.

• that can provide patients suffering from cardiac
diseases with a portable heart rate monitor which is
a Smartphone accessory that can be connected via
USB to the phone and help them continuously in
tracking their medical condition and to be alert of
any possible life threatening heart complications in
addition to sharing the resulted heart rate with their
physician by sending an SMS to seek medical help
and supervision with a press of a single button.

17. PAPER 4:-PERSONAL HEALTH
MONITORING WITH ANDROID BASED
MOBILE
 In this paper they developed an android based
mobile data acquisition solution.
 Which collects all personalized health information of
the end user store analyze and visualize it on
Smartphone.
 The smart phone can collect data form wired
network (USB) and wireless network (Wi-Fi and
Bluetooth)

19. PAPER 5:-DESIGN OF WIRELESS OPTICAL
ACCESS SYSTEM USING LED BASED
ANDROID MOBILE
 In this system they demonstrate a directional
wireless visible light communication system based
on android mobile
 Two android device transmit there data
simultaneously
 The design of hardware is based on usb port.

21. PROBLEMS
 Using Android accessory protocol we use mainly
ardiuno board as ADK in all above system.
 And they are do only specific task
 And it dependent on ardiuno software.

22. PROPOSED SYSTEM
 developing the device driver for android open
accessory based system
 I mainly focus on Linux based system
 In which we can easily interface the device with any
Linux based board.
 Using device driver we can access all
 bus’s like (can , i2c , spi)
 GPIO’s (for input and output)
 PWM , different type of sensors
 Remote Linux shell access
