19 4. Asian Smart Homes and Trials

20 Asian Testbeds Smart homes a reality in South Korea The main TV system functions as a control panel, with messages flashing up on it if the washing machine has finished, if there is someone walking up the front path along with camera footage of who it is. Each appliance has to be compatible with a system called HomeNet The smart home computer keeps track of energy consumption, and deals with all power bills directly.

26 6. Where are we heading?

27 Where are we heading? Limitations and Challenges Total automation should not be a goal of smart home technologies. Respect privacy Price? Maybe if less than $200! $250,000- $800,000 range. Development of interface technologies between humans and systems for detection of human intensions, feelings, and situations Intel research on the 21st Century living room revealed that 42% of Brits complained about crowded technology.

28 Where are we heading? Future More Testbeds and Trials Security Protocols Educate users Personal CEO? Standardize solutions and products Discovery of new technical issues Invention of new systems solving these issues. Design it, Implement it, and Use it.

29 It s time to restart your living style or your digital home? The choice is yours.. Thank you
