Indoor Localization-Based Office Automation System Using IOT Devices

Abstract

In the Internet of Things, each device communicates with each other through the Internet, in other words it is a communication between devices over a network to perform a particular task for which it is programmed. Such systems are also called automation systems. The Automation systems are those systems which perform a task without any human efforts. In existing automation systems, they are only able to detect the presence of human in a room and accordingly control the appliances. Such systems are quite good for a single user. But not reliable and moreover not suitable for multi-users. Here, the system cannot localize a person therefore it can switch ON appliances that are not required resulting again in electricity wastage. To overcome this problem there must be a system that can track a person in room and control each appliances independently. In this paper, the proposed system will first localize a person and then control the appliances. To localize a person an Indoor Localization Technique is used. This technique is used to find the position or area of a person inside a room. To implement such a technique some PIR sensors and RFID tags can be used by recognizing their patterns.
