Abstract : *This system make intelligent decision for device turn-off or turn-on which is based on correlation between location of a user and his electronics device such as monitor's using RFID or similar sensor technology. * Description : *Normally in office we use computer monitor and employees use to forget to turnoff/shutdown their system or monitor. same case with lights. We can have a automated intelligent shutdown scheme using RFID position location. In this system, a central database we will be maintained a record for location of electronic device such as computer monitor and will assign a unique device ID. This will also maintain a record for the employees who is using it. So, This database will maintain a user profile under which certain devices will be assigned to a employee. Employee will maintain RFID based or similar low cost sensors which can use triangulation algorithm to discover the position of employee and his system devices and calculate distance and behavior of employee and make a intelligent decision to shutdown the system monitor which consume a large mount of electricity. *Algorithm for Intelligence : *the basic idea of intelligence is to calculate the distance between user and system monitor and decide if he is outside the Building then turnoff the system monitor and corresponding lights. If he is inside the building then decide on the basic past experience. Like user can go for lunch. System finds that if he is away form his place for more then 5-10 minute then turnoff monitors. If user is going outside and coming back again and again for every 5 and 10 minute them we can increase the wait time. We can Also include the Keyboard /mouse under decision process. If we sit against any system it is very unlikely that we do not touch keyboard and mouse for more then 5-10 minute, So this system can also decide that if user is talking to some body and not doing any useful work on computer for more then 20 minutes ( detected by no more keystroke or moving mouse events) then also we can shut down the monitor. After making the decision , the central server will send proper signal to disable power of a particular port. In think , A huge amount of electricity can be saved using this scheme. I do not know more on RFID technology. So I do not know the implementations of distance calculation using RFID. May be we can use some technology such as GPS etc. Regards -- ┌───[ Narendra Sisodiya ]──────────────┐ │ http://narendra.techfandu.org │ │ http://www.lug-iitd.org │ └────────────[ +91-93790-75930 ]──────┘ _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
