Abstract
Speaking and writing are two common easiest mediums of communication for human. However, they are not applicable when it comes to handicapped who has hearing or speaking inability. Handicapped often encounter a hard time in expressing their feelings and thoughts to others. Furthermore, there are abundant of product in the market, which uses eye movement, light reflection theory and electrooculogram (EOG) as the input of their control system. These implication aims to ease the disabled to use modern devices. Therefore, a research is done on constructing an EOG Television Control Model to help the disabled to have remote on the television. By using the eye’s electrical signal obtained via vertical and horizontal motion, user can easily control television by rolling or blinking their eyes.
 Motivation/Background: The main motivation for this research is to look for an alternative solution to help patients especially those with physical disabilities to control television using eyes motions without difficulties. Moreover, selection for the best television monitoring method among all possible solution is also one of the research progress.
 Method: The most important method being used in this research is by using EOG to detect eyes motion and convert each and every unique motion into a specific command for television monitoring action. Wireless communication device is an additional to allow long range television control using EOG signal.
 Results: It is shown that the EOG signal for left and right and up and down motion of eyeballs differ with each other. Using the motion and by setting a threshold value to quantized the signal, a better quality television monitoring command is generated.
 Conclusions: EOG signal allow user especially those with physical disabilities to monitor television with ease by performing unique eye rolling motion.
Highlights
This research aims to allow patient with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Motor Neuron Disease (MND), stoke or other physical inability problems to have simple and direct control on television
The system structure is shown in Figure 1; electro ocular signal will be measured using EOG system
This study shows the hardware circuit for EOG measurement and signal filtering
Summary
In this electronics era, in order to provide the best flexibility, performance and comfort ability to users, various creative and innovative inventions has been created through integration of basic products [1]. Some products used the theory of light reflection [2][3] while others implement EOG as part of their system structure [4][5][6]. This research aims to integrate biomedical technology which in this proposal - the EOG Television Control System with spectacles or any possible eye accessories. Every eye movement and blinking status will generates a unique electrical signal. Utilizing the electrical signal generated, an EOG remote television can be done. Users with non-eye related inabilities could control television without depending on other person
