Figure 1 Structure of Cuneatic Home Automation System
As the future is unlimited, we don’t know what new appliance will be introduced into our home and what will its 'language' be. Cuneatic HA system ignores the difference between different appliance languages, and established a standard language for various peripheral equipment that may be connected to our HA system. Thus, adding a new peripheral becomes very easy. For instance, if users wanted to add a new remote control before we introduced Seics, they had to set the different scenes again and teach the other devices one by one, and doing so sometimes might be frustrated considering the HA system consists of many devices and the working relationship between each device and every other was complicated. Now, what the users need to do is only to input the ID number and make an operation menu. It looks like JVM- let's leave the details to the hardware! The 3As and 3Cs in figure 2 can change their external command set for different appliance. What we should do is to build a complicated mathematical model for different command sets.
When an external signal is send from a home control, the monitoring center intercepts and analyzes this message, and then decides whether to alert the police, notice hydro company and contact someone right away, or not. So, whether you're there or away, there's an invisible blanket around the people and things that matter most to you. Meanwhile, internal signals are reporting other essential information –the working status of RF transmitters, gauging your central clock, and reading the meters. In a typical home automation network there are also strict requirements on the power consumption of the radio transceiver in during reception as this mode dominates the average power consumption.
The protocol used for the various home automation systems must be tailored for the specific application needs and the requirements on efficiency and conciseness. A complete coexistence solution can involve sophisticated design. Even tough problems have solutions. Furthermore, considering the potential combination and cooperation with other communication protocols or standards, we are supposed to keep entrance for the future.
Engineers from the most different industrial directions have told us what their needs were. After evaluating these requests and researching electronic and wireless controls, Cuneatic can offer a very reliable internal standard according to the suggestions of customers and technologists that have shared the pioneering phase with us.
The SEICS is a critical part of communication. Its algorithms were designed to support Home Automation information flows between RF emitters and customer terminal control machines, and between terminals and monitoring centers. It can be used not only in the residential arena, but also in the commercial and urban infrastructure sectors.
Reliability and security of data are essential to data communications, particularly when the transported packets contain medical or security information. Cuneatic's researching team focused on the design and development of a wireless network model and the necessary protocol to be used in home environments for acquiring such data. We provided essential network organization specifically targeted for home environments with special consideration to cross-apartment interference issues.
The standard can be implemented with low cost commercial transceiver chips, available from several major manufacturers.
In the future, our model for a wireless smart house will connect medical instruments, sensors and low data rate appliances. The security model will ensure privacy and protection from unintentional or malicious eavesdropping.
Our further research will aid in the development and deployment of secure wireless home networks. These networks are suited for a wide spectrum of applications, ranging from medical monitoring and homesecurity to automatically remote controlling. |
