Smart Home Automation - An Overview
Luxury home automation wasn’t a face of everyday life. Today it is, though gradually! Directly controlling and seamlessly staying connected with the home systems you use every day via a mobile device would significantly enhance your quality of life. It is not only about remotely controlling the lights, AC, fan, audio systems, curtains, television, kitchen appliances, garage doors, sprinklers from your smartphone from anywhere. Again it is not merely about regularly monitoring the security of your home and your kids from your workplace miles away. It is all about convenience and safety. It is about exploiting the latest of what technology has on offer. It is about saving energy significantly and contributing to the creation of a greener earth through use of energy efficient systems. A smart home offers all of these – comfort, convenience, monetary savings, and safety. Smart Automation has emerged as a reliable and leading service provider in this segment.
Presentation on home automation
The past decade has seen significant advancement in the field of consumer electronics. Various ‘intelligent’ appliances such as cellular phones, air-conditioners, home security devices, home theatres, etc. are set to realize the concept of a smart home. They have given rise to a Personal Area Network in home environment, where all these appliances can be interconnected and monitored using a single controller.
Busy families and individuals with physical limitation represent an attractive market for home automation and networking. A wireless home network that does not incur additional costs of wiring would be desirable. Bluetooth technology, which has emerged in late 1990s, is an ideal solution for this purpose.
Home automation involves introducing a degree of computerized or automatic control to
Certain electrical and electronic systems in a building. These include lighting, temperature
Control etc.
This project demonstrates a simple home automation system which contains a remote mobile host controller and several client modules (home appliances). The client modules communicate with the host controller through a wireless device such as a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone, in this case, an android based Smart phone.

Evolution of laptops
Laptops have evolved significantly since their invention in the 1970s. Early laptops had limited memory, processing power, and small LCD screens. Over time, laptops grew more powerful with improvements like increased RAM and storage, color screens, and longer battery life. Modern laptops resemble desktop computers in capabilities but remain portable and convenient for mobile use. While laptops are more expensive than desktops for equivalent performance, their portability and integrated design make them very useful for work, school, travel, and home computing.
Technology Trends and Their Impact on Associations
Mobile technology is dramatically impacting organizations in the following ways:
1) Mobile data usage has skyrocketed in recent years and will continue to grow exponentially, with mobile video becoming the dominant type of mobile data traffic by 2015.
2) Smartphones and tablets are ushering in a new "post-PC" era of ubiquitous, portable, and personalized computing that is optimized for touch interfaces.
3) To take advantage of these trends, organizations need to develop mobile strategies that include mobile device management, support for bring your own devices (BYOD), prioritizing mobile-optimized content and applications, and enabling mobile collaboration and communication.
Types of computers
Computer: Definition
A computer is a machine that can be programmed to manipulate symbols. Its principal characteristics are:
It responds to a specific set of instructions in a well-defined manner.
It can execute a prerecorded list of instructions (a program).
It can quickly store and retrieve large amounts of data.
Therefore computers can perform complex and repetitive procedures quickly, precisely and reliably. Modern computers are electronic and digital. The actual machinery (wires, transistors, and circuits) is called hardware; the instructions and data are called software. All general-purpose computers require the following hardware components:
Central processing unit (CPU): The heart of the computer, this is the component that actually executes instructions organized in programs ("software") which tell the computer what to do.
Memory (fast, expensive, short-term memory): Enables a computer to store, at least temporarily, data, programs, and intermediate results.
Mass storage device (slower, cheaper, long-term memory): Allows a computer to permanently retain large amounts of data and programs between jobs. Common mass storage devices include disk drives and tape drives.
Input device: Usually a keyboard and mouse, the input device is the conduit through which data and instructions enter a computer.
Output device: A display screen, printer, or other device that lets you see what the computer has accomplished.
In addition to these components, many others make it possible for the basic components to work together efficiently. For example, every computer requires a bus that transmits data from one part of the computer to another.

51120402 wearable-computers-by-jeevan(2)
Wearable computers are computers that are worn on the body and are useful for applications where hands are busy. They operate continuously and are always ready to interact. Early wearables challenged other PCs in the 1970s by running on batteries. They have six key attributes including being unrestrictive to the user and attentive to the environment. Applications include assistance for the blind and augmented reality. Disadvantages include short battery life and potential illegal or anti-social uses. IBM introduced a wearable PC in the late 1990s with specifications including a 233MHz processor, 64MB RAM, and 340MB hard drive.

It uses SUPA technology to transmit video signals and power to the monitor up to 10 meters away from the computer. This wireless functionality frees up desk space by removing cables. Some potential applications mentioned include using the monitor as a secondary display to avoid losing BIOS/DOS functionality when the primary display is disconnected. However, the technology has limitations like lower bandwidth than wired monitors.
Understanding Computer
Computer systems can be categorized in several ways, including by size, functionality, and type. Mainframe computers are large systems used by large organizations for critical tasks like data processing. Mini computers are mid-sized systems between mainframes and microcomputers. Microcomputers, when equipped with a keyboard, mouse and monitor become personal computers. Personal computers include desktops intended for single location use as well as laptops optimized for mobile use. Tablets are touchscreen mobile computers while wearables are computers worn on the body. Other computer types include servers which provide resources to client machines on a network, and supercomputers capable of highly complex calculations. Operating systems manage basic computer functions and security, and can be classified as multi-user, multiprocessing,

Laptop computers have evolved significantly since their inception in the 1980s. Early laptops like the Osborne 1 had 5-inch screens and floppy disk drives. By the late 1980s, laptops were becoming popular for business users and models like the NEC UltraLite weighed only 2 kg. Today, there are several types of laptops including desktop docking stations, laptops, notebooks, subnotebooks, and tablet PCs. Key differences are in screen size, weight, and included features such as disk drives and connectivity options.
Multimodal Interfaces
Multimodal interfaces use computer vision, touch surfaces, and other input methods to allow novel ways of interacting with computers beyond the traditional keyboard and mouse. Technologies like the Wiimote, iPhone touchscreen, and Kinect demonstrate approaches like gesture recognition and touch that will continue advancing as hardware and software improve, making these interfaces cheaper, more accurate, and more widely available. This opens opportunities to rethink user interfaces and how people interact with and navigate digital experiences.
Smart Playing Cards A Ubiquitous Computing Game
Ubiquitous computing refers to computers integrated into everyday objects and environments. It is the next wave after desktop computing and aims to make many computers available throughout the environment, serving each person, but doing so invisibly. A key researcher who coined the term was Mark Weiser at Xerox PARC in the 1980s. Experiments included tabs, pads and boards, and applications now include smart devices, interactive displays, and augmented reality games. Challenges include designing for privacy, security, and seamless interactions across contexts.
Wearable Computer
Wearable computers are computers that can be worn on the body and are useful for applications that require computational support while the user's hands or attention are engaged elsewhere. They are designed to mediate activities without interfering with tasks and come in various forms from wrist-mounted devices to head-mounted displays. Research into wearable computers continues to explore new interfaces and ways to integrate digital experiences into real-world interactions.

Surface computer
The document introduces surface computing, which allows for natural interaction through touch and gestures rather than mice and keyboards. Surface computing was developed by Microsoft and introduced in 2007. The Surface is a horizontal, multi-touch table that uses infrared cameras and projection to recognize objects placed on its surface and enable multiple users to interact simultaneously. Current applications of Surface include retail, hospitality, education and more. It provides advantages like collaboration and control, but also has limitations such as cost and lack of portability.
