Research And Implementation Of Home Intelligent System Based On Android Platform

Intelligent home gateway is the core unit of the smart home system. In the past, the smart homesystem used the PC as the control center, but now the smart home system uses embedded homeintelligent gateway as the core. Currently, embedded intelligent home gateway generally uses Linuxoperating system as the software platform and the hardware individually designed depending on theapplication demands as the hardware platform. Android, as an open-source platform, has providedrich UI development widgets, flexible, internal mechanism and complete database engine.In this thesis we propose a design scheme of intelligent home gateway, in which Androidsmartphone and ZigBee coordinator is utilized as the intelligent home gateway’s hardware platform.The application programe of intelligent home gateway is constructed based on this hardwareplatform. The software solution of our proposal can be divided into ZigBee communicationmodule, network communication module, image acquisition module, data storage module, dataprocessing module, and application module. The connection between Android smartphone andZigBee coordinator based on Arduino is implemented and three connection solutions for short-rangeUSB data cable, Bluetooth and remote GPRS is also designed in this thesis. The intelligent homegateway based on Android platform developed by this thesis can be used in the home environmentmonitoring system. The gateway provids some practical functions to user, for example: homeenvironment data monitoring, dangerous situations reminding, video surveillance, alarm imagecapture. The application system in our sheme indicates the following characteristics: user-friendly,easy to operate, feature-rich and stable operation.
