The Design and Implementation of Smart Sensor-based Home Networks

Recently, advancements of the wireless communication and micro electronic technologies enable the inter-connection between devices and automatic operations within the home areas. Additionally, sensing physical information based on the wireless sensor device helps more intelligent services to incorporate the ubiquitous paradigm into the home networks. In this paper, we address the new smart device with the various sensing ability as well as the wireless communication in order to implement the real ubiquitous house. Moreover, we suggest the new intelligent home scenarios based on the new devices and embedded systems. To show the realistic of our works, we develop a small model house by using our smart devices, RFID and embedded devices. Our works can be contributed the developing of the ubiquitous computing and the real implementations for home networks.
