Proposal 1.0 - Automated Rooms

[ SUMMARY ]

This first proposal is called "Automated Rooms" Imagine a house where each and every door opening has a RFID antenna. Whenever a person walks through a door the person gets scanned to see if he has any RFID chip on him.

These chips can be carried and implemented in numerous ways,

- Clothing
- Card
- ID Tag
- Implemented under the skin (extreme solution)
- Rings, Watch etc.

As soon as the RFID profile has been read from the chip the room which is entered will be adjusted to the persons preferences.

[ WHY ]

Automating a rooms primary functions is not only time saving it can also be more energy efficient. Not only will the room be set to your requirements upon entering they will also go into a more energy efficient mode once you leave the room.

[ WHERE ]

This idea is not just limited for personal use in households. It can also be used in public spaces as in offices for example.

[ WHOM ]

The technology in this proposal can be used by any person. There are no limitations to whom can carry the chips.

[ APPEARANCE ]

As mentioned earlier every door opening will have a metallic strip which is the RFID antenna. In the following illustration the metallic strip has been made very visible for illustrational purposes, but this strip can easily be hidden in the door opening.

This also implies easy implantation of this technology for households want to install this in their home.

[ FUNCTIONS & FEATURES ]

Upon entering the room the RFID antenna will pick up the persons profile from the RFID chip he or she is carrying. The profile will be sent to the central computer system where the room will be "activated" and the rooms electronical equipment will be set to the persons preferences.

As you can see in the illustration above various electronical equipment can be adjusted automatically to the persons preferences including,

- Adjusting the window blinds;
- Turning on the LCD TV;
- Adjusting the temperature;
- Dimming the lights;
- Etc.

Once the persons leaves the room again the equipment will be shut off completely thus also saving electricity in standby power. Also the room temperature will be adjusted accordingly.

This will save anyone a lot of effort in turning all the equipment on and adjusting it to your own preferences. Not only is this time saving but also as mentioned earlier more energy efficient.
