Networks Are the Building Blocks of the
Intelligent Home
Networks:
• Connecting media.

• Resource sharing.

• Information sharing..
Home networks

• Home Networking is the collection of elements that

process, manage, transport, and store information, enabling
the connection and integration of multiple computing,
control, monitoring, and communication devices in the
home.
3 types of home networks

•Stereo set, TV

•Playback (broadcasting from source to end device)

Amenity home network
•Environment management for
residence
(Home automation)
–Air conditioning

Progression Towards the Intelligent Home

•‘Smart home’ – an intelligent

home that would provide fully
automated living, with
multifunctional robots

•Automation has successfully

conquered industry and working
environments
Progression Towards the Intelligent Home

With right computer program and necessary wiring your pc

could become the brain of your home.

“…the richer a person is, the more he is willing to pay for less
benefit. Therefore, it is to be expected that the rich will be the
early adopters of new technology…new technology can be used
to ‘buy’ more free time.”
Progression Towards the Intelligent Home

•Technological improvements, reductions in the cost of

manufacture and competition all help to reduce the cost

Challenges

Complexity
Reliability
household environment is a complex mass of wires
(resolved by wireless network), confined spaces and
uneven floors.
Uncontrolled environment with humans
interacting in the space
A safe, powerful, portable power supply is needed
Conclusion
Home network is a emerging system which will have an
impact on our daily life
Home networks require different technologies from
LAN or Internet, and it provide home automation.
