Home Security Service Enhanced with Information Stations

摘要

This research enhances a home security service with information stations. In our previous research a home security service was proposed. In the service a central server serves multiple houses for home security. The home security of a house was regulated by an Arduino controller. The server provided m2m protocol for controller-server communication and coordinated users to form security groups. An input/output authorization mechanism was used to associate different users. Condition control was designed to enhance local controller intelligence. In this research the design of the home security service is extended. Camera servers are added to a house to provide video surveillance. Camera alert events are sent to the service server. Camera events can be used in condition control rules to activate additional security actions. Information stations, like earthquake alert station and weather station, are established in the server to provide environmental information. Users can subscribe certain information data and put them in the control laws of the Arduino controllers by condition control. Due to the additions of Cameras and information stations, the content of condition control is modified accordingly.
