Home Enhancement Suite Patent Liability • Presenter: Will Bouchonnet • Allen Humphreys, Daniel Sabo, Nathan Irvin
Summary • Analyze several different patents and determine if our project infringes in any way.
Updated PSSCs • An ability to detect a user based on RFID and determine which user has priority, displaying the user's identity on an LCD. • An ability to adjust the light intensity to match a user’s settings through X10 protocol. • An ability to adjust a television set or other HDMI device using CEC-HDMI protocol, to a user's preferred settings. (ON/OFF, Channel, Volume) • An ability to unlock a door when an acceptable RFID is present. • An ability to select/set preferred settings through an embedded web server and the ability to save the "light settings" with the press of a button.
