More precisely, this paper looks into the possible upgrade of the traditional radio transmitter-receiver system and incorporates the use of Cloud Computing and Internet of Things, so that radio transmitters can now be controlled via voice commands. Furthermore, we take a look at the transformation of a 27.145 MHz remote control toy car and convert it into one that can now be controlled using voice commands by providing an upgrade to the existing system. The proposed system has made use of Amazon Alexa as the voice interface platform and Amazon Web Services as the cloud computing platform, Specifically, the system designed makes use of the Lambda and S3 Service by Amazon Web Service. As the entire system is now cloud based, range issues associated with transmitters and receivers are eliminated. At a high level, the system designed essentially demonstrates a method in which voice commands can now be converted into encoded radio signals, which can then be received by the receiver so that the intended task can be performed by the user.","PeriodicalId":355536,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 7th International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Berlin (ICCE-Berlin)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124430332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"An unobtrusive Wi-Fi system for human monitoring","authors":"Marco Bassoli, V. Bianchi, I. D. Munari, P. Ciampolini","doi":"10.1109/ICCE-Berlin.2017.8210632","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICCE-Berlin.2017.8210632","url":null,"abstract":"Human monitoring is important in a wide range of applications and, most notably, in health management. Within the Active and Assisted Living (AAL) framework, human monitoring techniques have particular relevance: among AAL purposes is that of applying ambient intelligence paradigm to enable older adults or people with specific demands to live longer and independently in their homes, reducing the need of institutionalization. Sensors are used to track some features of daily living activities, which are then processed to infer health-relevant information. When dealing with the home environment, cost, intrusiveness and ease of installation and management are of the utmost importance: wireless sensors are therefore often used, and cloud-based service can be exploited to reduce the need for home-based hardware devices, this matching the increasingly widespread Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm. Wireless sensor connectivity may rely upon different standards and protocols: most frequently, WSN (wireless sensor network) dedicated protocols are exploited (e.g. ZigBee, Z-Wave) taking advantage of optimization toward low data-rate, low power features. However, ad-hoc deployment of such networks is required, which may result in expensive and burdening installation and management tasks. In this paper, we present a complete Wi-Fi based solution (named CARDEA Wi-Fi), in which sensors specifically designed for human monitoring purposes are straightforwardly connected to the internet cloud by exploiting the Wi-Fi communication protocol (universally diffused for home connectivity), without the need of local gateway devices (except for a Wi-Fi modem router). This results in lightweight installation and management procedures, leading to a “plug and play” approach, which is particularly appealing when interacting with persons having low or no technical skill. The CARDEA Wi-Fi architecture is discussed, and the implementation of a set of “behavioral” sensors is described. Preliminary figures about performance are also given, with particular reference to battery lifetime.","PeriodicalId":355536,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 7th International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Berlin (ICCE-Berlin)","volume":"32 7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131590588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the adaptive TTL allocation scheme proposed in this paper is expected to provide a better service when personal broadcasting viewers selectively view past videos.","PeriodicalId":355536,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 7th International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Berlin (ICCE-Berlin)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116894563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such interface is the main hub of a home automation system able to monitor the house and reminds to the users some information when they approach the door to leave the home. In order to involve end users in UI evaluation at the end of the first stage of the design process, a specific experimental protocol, based on task analysis, structural interview, and behavioral observation, is defined. It allows to evaluate user-machine interaction considering aspects related to both adequacy of product feature and user's subjective opinion and behavior. A disposable high fidelity prototype of the UI is realized by using a touch screen tablet. Two tests, respectively dedicated to verify the adequacy of the icons and the understandability of the interface, are performed. A total of 20 subjects with different MMSE score are involved. Results show that people with low and medium dementia are able to understand and use the touch interface and provide some suggestion about how the GUI can be improved. Finally, some approaches to support the future development activities and the next usability tests are discussed.","PeriodicalId":355536,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 7th International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Berlin (ICCE-Berlin)","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128167760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
