Title : Power Saving Scheme for Electronic Devices in Industrial and
software firms using RFID
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.
