As the world population grows, energy consumption is increasing, widening is the power deficiency. This creates more demand for energy efficient devices in the market. The lighting systems that are widely being used now do not employ any control energy utilization. In this paper we present wireless embedded control that can be used for both indoor lighting as well as outdoor lighting to switch on/off the lights and as well to reduce the light intensity of LED light which can reduce the power consumption effectively. This improves energy efficiency of the lighting system as well as provides a sophisticated control over the energy consumption of the system. © 2013 IEEE.

This paper targeted to reduce the Queue at a billing counter in a shopping complex. The system does the same by displaying the total price of the product kept inside the cart. In this way the customer can directly pay the amount at the billing counter and leave with the commodities he/she has bought. It eliminates the traditional scanning of products at the counter and in turn speeds up the entire process of shopping, also with this system the customer shall know the total amount to be paid and hence can accordingly plan his shopping only buying the essential commodities resulting in enhanced savings. Since the entire process of billing is automated it reduces the possibility of human error substantially. Also the system has a feature to delete the scanned products to further optimize the shopping experience of the customer. The hardware for the test run is based on the Arduino platform and Xbee modules, as both are very popular in small-scale research and wireless automation solution.

Smart Shopping Cart

The proposed work is an attempt to design a wireless system that could help change the state of the device for ex., T.V sets, fan, coolers, tube lights, etc. i.e., to turn them off if they are in ON state or vice versa may be true depending upon the need for it or not. This is done by using monitoring heartbeat because when a person falls asleep heartbeat falls below 55 bpm which actually may differ for different ages of people. So basically Atmega microcontroller will be used to process the input and take required action on both the sides i.e., for calculating heartbeat pulses and triggering the relays for changing the state. The Xbee module will be used to setup the wireless communication between heartbeat and relay circuit. So it can be very useful tool to bring down the electricity losses that happen all the time.

Device state change by monitoring heartbeat

Objectives: The proposed work is an attempt to design a security unit that can send the whereabouts of the user when an urgent situation arises. Methods/Statistical Analysis: This is done by using Global Positioning System (GPS) which determines the precise co-ordinates of the user. Microcontroller then extracts the required information and sends this location using Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) modem to a list of pre-assigned numbers when prompted by the user. Findings: The setup is portable. User can carry the device in their handbags. The triggering of the process is made wireless using RF transmitter and receiver. The GPS works continuously so that any change in the location of the user is updated constantly. Applications/Improvements: It could be used as a valuable tool in case of imperative circumstances.

Design of Universal Module for Personal Security

Objectives: This paper proposes a remote access controlled door entry system for homes and office buildings. Methods/Statistical Analysis: A remote access control system comprises of the internet to control the devices and appliances at home or office with the person controlling them from anywhere around the globe. In our proposed system, a Raspberry Pi board is used as the platform for monitoring and controlling the door lock. The door entry system proposed here consists of a switch for guest monitoring, camera for guest authentication, solenoid actuator for opening of the door and a speaker set for making the system intimate the responses to the guest. Switch, speakers and camera for interaction with the guest are mounted at appropriate places at the door. Findings: Status of the switch can be monitored by the Raspberry Pi. As the guest presses the switch on arriving at the door, the door entry system enables the host to conveniently monitor and control the entry of people to the house through Internet. Application/Improvements: The main advantage of our proposed system is that it can be easily used in home without requirement of any new software installation and configuration. In future, Instead of monitoring switch status, interrupt driven method can be used to monitor the person.
