Home automation

Home automation refers to the use of micro electronic technology, electronic electric appliance product or system, integrated or control in the home such as: lighting, Coffee furnace, computer equipment, security systems, heating and air conditioning system, video and audio system. Home automation system is based on a central microprocessor (CentralProcessorUnit, CPU) received from the relevant electrical and electronic products (change, environmental factors such as the sun sets in the west, or caused by illumination changes) after the message, then established procedures to send the appropriate information to other electrical and electronic products. The central microprocessor through many interface to control electric products in the home, the interface can be a keyboard, also can be a touch screen, button, computer, telephone, remote control; consumers can send signals to the central microprocessor, or received from the central microprocessor signal.

Home automation is an important system of intelligent Home Furnishing, in intelligent Home Furnishing first appeared, home automation, even as Yu Zhineng Home Furnishing core, it is still one of the intelligent Home Furnishing today, but with the widespread application of network technology with intelligent Home Furnishing, network appliance / information home electric mature, home automation products will be integrated into many function these new products, so that home automation products simply getting in the design of the system is less, its core status will be replaced by the quilt home network / home information system. It will be used as part of a home network control network in intelligent Home Furnishing play a role in.

Home network

First we need to separate the family network and pure "family LAN", we will refer to the name "family LAN / home internal network" in this book, it refers to the connection of family PC, peripherals and network systems and the Internet, it is only a part of the family network the. Home network is in the home range (can be expanded to a neighbour, PC, home appliances, small) security system, lighting system and wide area network connecting a new technology. Connection technology currently used in the home network can be divided into "wire" and "radio" two categories. Wired program mainly includes: twisted pair or coaxial cable, telephone line connection, power line connection; radio programs include: infrared connection, wireless connection, RF connection and wireless connection based on PC.

Home network compared with the traditional office network, adding a lot of home appliance products and systems, such as household appliances, lighting system, so the corresponding technical standards is perplexing, which also involved too many well-known network manufacturers and home appliance manufacturers benefit, we in the intelligence Home Furnishing technology chapter detailed introduction on various technology standard. Development trend of home network is the other system in intelligent Home Furnishing in fusion, the final rule all the land.

Network appliance

Network appliance is a common household appliances using digital technology, network technology and intelligent control technology improvement in the design of new home appliances. Network appliance can realize interconnection to form a home network, the home network can also be connected to an external internet. Visible, network appliance technology includes two aspects: the first is the problem of interconnection between the home appliances, is also different between the appliance can mutually recognize, collaborative work. The second level is the communication appliance network and external network, make the home appliance network really become extend the external network.

In order to realize the interconnection and information exchange between home appliances, needs to solve: product model description of characteristics of 1 home appliances, which makes data exchange has specific meaning; 2 information transmission network media. To solve this problem in the network media, alternative: power line, radio frequency, twisted pair, coaxial cable, infrared, optical fiber. Think of feasible network appliances including refrigerators, air conditioners, network network network network washing machine, water heater, microwave oven, cooker and other network network. Network appliance future direction is fully integrated into the network.

Information appliances (3C or IA)

Information appliance is a kind of low price, convenient operation, strong practicability, with the main function of PC appliances. Using computer, telecommunication and electronic technology and the traditional home appliances (including the white home appliances: refrigerators, washing machine, microwave ovens and other household appliances: TV, VCR and black, audio, VCD, DVD etc.) combination of innovative products, is a new type of household electrical appliances designed for digital and network technology is more widely used in family life, information appliances including PC, set-top box, HPC, DVD, super VCD, wireless data communication equipment, video game equipment, WEBTV, INTERNET telephone and so on, all can through the interaction of information network system of home appliance products, can be called the information appliances. Audio, video and communications equipment is the main part of information appliances. On the other hand, in addition to the traditional home appliance, combines traditional home appliance of information technology, make its function more powerful, the use of more simple, convenient and practical, to create a high-quality living environment for family life, such as analog TV into digital TV, VCD into DVD, refrigerator, washing machine, microwave furnace will become digital, networked, intelligent information appliances.

From the view of the generalized classification, information appliance products actually contains the network household appliance products, but if from the narrow definitions to define, we can do a simple classification: information appliance more small household with embedded processor (personal) information equipment, its basic characteristic is the network (mainly refers to the Internet). And there are some specific functions, can be a complete product, can also be an auxiliary parts. But the network appliance refers to a network operation function of home appliance products, the appliance can understand our original ordinary household electrical appliances product upgrade.

Information appliance is composed of embedded processor, related hardware support (such as a display card, a storage medium, IC card or credit card reading equipment), embedded operating system and application layer software package. Information appliance break out some functions of PC, designed to be more applications, more home audio-visual products, so that ordinary people to step the pace of the information age more quickly, with high performance, low price, easy operation characteristics of lnternet tools. The emergence of information appliances will promote the rise of home network market, at the same time, the development of home network market and in turn promoting the popularization of information appliances and deep application.
