Abstract

Smart homes can be a potential application which provides unobtrusive support for the elderly or disabled that promote independent living. In providing ubiquitous service, specially designed controller is needed. In this paper, a simple gesture based automating controller for various household appliances that includes simple lightings to complex electronic devices is introduced. The system uses the gesture-based recognition system to read messages from the signer and sends command to respective appliances through the household appliances sensing system. A simple server has been constructed to perform simple deterministic algorithm on the received messages to execute matching exercise which in turn triggers specific events. The proposed system offers a new and novel approach in smart home controller system by utilizing gesture as a remote controller. The adapted method of this innovative approach, allows user to flexibly and conveniently control multiple household appliances with simple gestures.
