| ▒ From Cleaning to Shopping,
Household Chores made Automatic with Home Automation |
|
| The front door to the house opens and the lights turn
on automatically as you enter the house, following a
guide who wears a small personal computer on her wrist.
The wrist PC recognizes the homeowner’s personal information
and sends it to every object in the house. |
|
There
is no more need for a remote control for your television.
Just speak to turn the TV on or off, adjust the volume,
or change channels. As you watch TV, if you see an accessory
or clothing worn by a star and you want the same thing,
you can even order it on the spot. |
|
'Your
milk expires tomorrow!'
Your refrigerator not only
reminds you of the shelf life of stored food, but also
lets you know what groceries need to be purchased. Grocery
shopping at your favorite online shopping mall is just
a click away using the built-in screen on your refrigerator. |
|
Home
automation also changes the picture on your digital
picture frame on the wall to the one of your choice
in accordance to the day-to-day occasion or ambience.
The digital frame can also be used as a television;
in other words, the frame turns into a television. |

| ▒ Order House Cleaning from
Your Office |
|
 In
the future, you will no longer find yourself stuck in
traffic or waiting for a late bus. Digital screens installed
at bus stops provide information on the bus location
and traffic congestion.
Using the telematics service
in your car, you will be able to control your house
and your office at the same time. Just speak to your
car to order your home cleaning robot to clean
the house. At the office, the office robot Coby
checks your video mails and briefs you on the day’s
top news and your personal schedule. Using a video conferencing
system, you can freely exchange your ideas with a colleague
who is far away. |
