Android Obedient House (AndSDev)

The goal of the project:

By taking advantage of the voice recognition and Bluetooth features of the Android operating system,

devices at home;

• Being able to recognize different forms of discourse embedded in spoken language regarding the functions of voice commands,

• To prepare a program that provides control with these commands.

Project Goals :

• Communication of microcontrollers and mobile phones-tablets with Bluetooth modules.
• Performing voice recognition in the Android operating system.
• Creating and writing different discourse algorithms for verbal commands.
• Applying verbal commands to the model home.

Smart homes :

These are houses that are in constant interaction with the people living in them and perform functions determined according to a scenario in line with the orders given. According to this;

• They can be controlled from a center and communicate with devices in the house.
• Thanks to the technologies they use, they offer their residents a more economical, safer, more comfortable and easier life.

The Main Problem Subject to the Project

Even if the command is spoken in the same language;

• The verbal expression of the command may vary.

• In some cases, hundreds of different discourse styles can emerge for a single command.

• By recognizing different forms of discourse, end-user richness and ease of use will emerge.

• In this case, all individuals in the home and society will be able to use the system easily.

Some Concepts About the Project Idea

• GUI(Grafik User Interface):

  Providing interaction with the user through a graphical (visual) interface.

• VUI(Voice User Interface) :

  Interaction with the user is provided by voice.

• FSB(Different Forms of Discourse) :

  Different expressions of the discourse of a command for the voice interface.

Basic Operation of the System

Used technologies

• Mikrocontrollers PIC18F452
• CCS PIC C compiler.
• Bluetooth communication
• Android programming.
• PCB drawing techniques.

NOTE: This study was deemed worthy of honorable mention (Fourth place) in the TÜBİTAK inter-high school project competition held throughout Turkey (2014).
