Research

Mobile telephony is bringing the science-fictions into reality. We do not only talk. We navigate, organize, share and play games... whats next? The thesis analyzed and implemented a solution to give you a control of your home/office/factory right into your mobile phone. We used only available/cheap resources, simple mobile phones, SMS, bluetooth, standard X10 devices to build the proof of concept. Using our proto-type you can easily switch on the A/C on a hot summer evening a few minutes before getting in! Don't worry if you forgot to switch off the water pump at the factory. Just push a button in the mobile phone and relax!
