I 3 BM Zigbee Positioning Method for Smart Home Applications

This paper presents a smart home system prototype which employs an indoor positioning system called the III Beacon Match (I 3 BM) positioning method to intelligently trigger the appropriately services for the home members. To overcome the ninja problem in the I 3 BM method, the signal filtering, adjustment and smooth procedures are proposed. The proposed system prototype employs the Zigbee module to implement the prototypes of the components for the I 3 BM positioning method, and the prototypes had passed the ZigBee Compliant Platform (ZCP) certification test. The proposed system prototype which intelligently controls the air condition and light system for smart home applications is also verifying in our demo room and in the smart house in National Taiwan University.
