In this paper, we design a new mobile traffic warning triangle (MTWT) which consist five parts: distance measurement unit, reflective tracking function, LED indicate, emergency calling and embedded controller. The MTWT can track the white line in road side then move a fix distance and rise the LED indicate triangle. It also can detect the distance between two cars and alarm the driver. The GPS module...
In this paper, we propose an Interactive Digital Signage (IDS) which consists of three parts: passive infrared sensor (PIR), ultrasonic sensors and an embedded system. Our system uses the Newton-Raphson method to acquire the hand moving directions and distances, which were transferred to relative command to control the system. Compared with other interactive devices, we use low cost sensors instead...
This paper describes the design of a Scalable Interactive Table System (SITS) which consists of a Scalable Interactive Table (SIT) and a remote server. The SIT is equipped with a touch screen, a RFID reader and a PLC module. The PLC module provides the SIT a no-new-wire environment to connect to Internet. After the user contact his RFID card with the reader, he will see his personal information be...
In this paper we design and implement a Sounding Body Fat Management System (SBFMS) on embedded system with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and power line communication (PLC). The SBFMS identifies user by RFID and measure his weight and bioelectrical impedance for health analysis so that the system can suggest the user by voice and text. Moreover, the user can access his measurement results...
In this paper an embedded remote monitoring and controlling power socket (RMCPS) has been developed with high suitability for automatic and power management of home electric appliances. It requires no new layout and has the advantage of low cost, low electricity consumption, small volume and convenient installation to replace the PC with a Web server construction. The RMCPS consists of three modules:...
In this paper we describe a remotely controllable UPS outlet system for home power management that we have developed. The CUPSO (controllable UPS outlet) integrates multiple AC power sockets, a UPS and a low-power microcontroller into a power outlet to switch the power of the sockets On/Off, to protect a sudden loss of the AC power supply and to measure the power consumption of plugged-in electric...
Home power consumption tends to grow in proportion to the increase in the number of large-sized electric home appliances. An embedded system without any new additional wiring has been developed for home power management. By using power line communication (PLC) technology, electric home appliances can be controlled and monitored through domestic power lines. We describe a PPCOM (PTC Power-Controlled...
Monitoring systems are very important in our daily life. Monitoring systems exist in airports, banks, offices and even in our homes to keep us secure. A monitoring system based on an MSN messenger that can detect moving objects has been developed. We have designed a smart server using the software agent technology which integrates an MSN Autoresponder, an authority manager, a moving objects detector...
In this paper we describe a remotely controllable UPS outlet system for home power management that we have developed. Our system can also control the UPS outlet system of different families by means of GPRS technology of a GSM module. The controllable UPS outlet (CUPSO) integrates multiple AC power sockets, a UPS and a low- power microcontroller into a power outlet to switch the power of the sockets...
Using a GPS to navigate, a guard locates a car theft and utilizes vehicle tracking that is, at present, widely employed. In this paper the terminal device using a microcontroller combines a GPS and a GSM/GPRS to make a portable and remote controlling device, and an embedded server is used as a transfer location server. In this way one accomplishes real-time vehicle trajectory monitoring. Clients can...
The power consumption of a streaming-media server can be obtained in real time by using the virtual-instrumentation software described in this paper without using an additional hardware meter. We have built a model to estimate the power consumption from the observation of experimental data that consists of tracking the CPU utilization and detecting the operation parameters of the measured servers...
The power consumption of the streaming media server can be obtained in real time by the virtual instrumentation software module described in this paper without an additional hardware meter. From the observation of experiment's data we conclude that the measurement of the power consumption of the streaming media server depends on the CPU utilization exquisite dynamically and with some system operation...
An Internet server center provides multiple service sites by means of a multiple server pool. This paper presents a scalable multiple server (SMS) architecture design for resource management in a server center, with an emphasis on the proper balance of energy and performance. The goals are to provide different servers for different service sites in a way that automatically adapts to the offered load...

In this paper, we describe a remotely controllable outlet system with mechanism for home power management. The system consists of four blocks: the Bluetooth power-controlled outlet module (BPCOM), the home server, the remote control and the GSM channel. Bluetooth, wireless system can control the home electric appliances wirelessly at home without new wiring. The BPCOM integrates the multiply AC power...
