A Remote Home Automation System Based on Client/Server Architecture of Internet and VRML With Java
Abstract Recent development of computer and communication technology of Internet now enables more sophisticated system. This research presents new type of remote home automation system that can perform efficient bi-directional management of appliances and security/safety systems at home through Internet. Three-dimensional graphic user interfaces based on virtual reality technology were used to make remote users feel reality. User feels like being at his home and also gets present state of control objects at home with usual web-browser. This system has client and server architect to obtain efficient bi-directional management and uses Java and VRML for information handling. In this paper, the internet-based remote control system was proposed and proved validity by being applied to home automation system.
