ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS




Upon completion of this project, I would like to express my greatest gratitude to
my project team, Prof. Dr. Marzuki b. Khalid, Prof. Dr. Rubiyah bt. Yusof and Mr.
Mohd Fairol Zamzuri b. Che Sayuti who has allocated their fully corporation, time and
effort through the completion of this project. With their corporations, I was able to finish
this project along with all the stated objectives and scopes.

I also would like to thank to all the people in CAIRO, UTMKL who have
contributed their ideas to my project. They all had helped me in discussing and solving
the matter that arises in my project.

Besides that, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my parents and family
who have given me an endless of morale support. I was able to complete this thesis due to
the support they have given me.

Lastly, I would also like thank to Ministry Of Science, Technology and

Abstract


DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF INTELLIGENT
AND EASY HOME/OFFICE SYSTEM

(Keywords: Intelligent and Easy Home/Office System, I-Home, Web-based control
System, Artificial Intelligent, Fuzzy logic, Neural Network)

An Intelligent Home (I-Home) System is envisioned as the by-product of pervasive
computing and the availability of smart computer technology which making human interaction
with the system a better home life experience. By the year 2020, home activities in Malaysia will
be heavily influenced by interactive information and smart control systems. I-Home can provide
homeowner a smart environment that monitor and control household functions. It can provide a
gateway to communicate with the outside world through web-based system incorporated into the
home. Using a web based control system, homeowner can quickly look into home to see live
video and control lighting. It anticipates forecasted weather, thief prevention and utility costs.


Therefore the objectives of Intelligent Home System are comprises to two main
objectives. The first objective is to develop master software based on Artificial Intelligent (AI)
technique which is capable of integrating remote control and monitoring appliances and devices
via the internet and the second objective is to design an intelligent sensor system using fuzzy
logic and neural network to overcome false alarms occurrence as well as to provide home
automation. The major phases of the research involves the development of intelligent sensoring
system using AI techniques, development of home automation control, design and development
of intelligent master list software, develop the control and communication protocols and
development of integration module. The final phase is design and implementation of a prototype
of the intelligent home system.


The prototype develops in CAIRO premises shows the ability of computer and
communication technology in building the automated home system that function autonomously
by using artificial intelligent engine. Results proof that combination of fuzzy logic and neural
network can improve the controller performance with less human dependence.

RUMAH/PEJABAT MESRA DAN PINTAR MENGGUNAKAN
KAEDAH KEPINTARAN BUATAN

(Katakunci: Rumah Pinter, Pejabat Pintar, Applikasi web, Kepintaran buatan, logic
fuzzy, rangkaian neural)

Sistem Rumah Pintar (I-Home) adalah satu produk berteknologi tinggi yang berasaskan
kepada sistem komputer yang membolehkan manusia berinteraksi dengan sistem tersebut dengan
lebih berkesan. Menjelang tahun 2020, aktiviti di rumah kediaman akan dipengaruhi oleh
maklumat-maklumat secara interaktif dan sistem kawalan yang cekap. Sistem Rumah Pintar akan
memberi pengguna persekitaran yang cekap dimana ia boleh memantau dan mengawal fungsi
setiap perkakasan rumah. Ia juga menyediakan saluran komunikasi kepada dunia luar melalui
laman web dan internet. Melalui sistem kawalan berasaskan lama web ini, pengguna juga dapat
melihat persekitaran rumah mereka secara langsung melalui video atau mengawal lampu.
Malumat lain seperti ramalan kajicuaca, penggera kecurian dan kos utiliti juga boleh diperolehi
dengan cepat.


Oleh yang demikian, objektif rumah pintar ini terdiri daripada dua. Objektif pertama
adalah untuk membangunkan perisian utama berdasarkan kepada kaedah kecerdikan buatan yang
berupaya mengintegrasi sistem kawalan yang jauh dan pemantauan peranti-peranti dan peralatan-
peralatan menggunakan internet. Objektif yang kedua adalah untuk membangunkan sistem
penderia pintar menggunakan logik fuzzy dan rangkaian neural untuk mengatasi masalah amaran-
amaran palsu dan juga menyediakan sistem automasi kediaman. Fasa utama dalam kajian ini
termasuk membangunkan sistem penderia pintar menggunakan kaedah kepintaran buatan,
membangunkan sistem automasi kediaman, rekabentuk dan pembangunan perisian senarai utama
pintar, rekabentuk dan pembangunan protokol komunikasi dan pembangunan modul bersepadu.
Fasa terakhir adalah pembangunan prototaip sistem rumah pintar tersebut.


Prototaip yang dibangunkan di premis CAIRO menunjukkan hasil dan keupayaan sistem
komputer dan teknologi komunikasi dalam membina sistem automasi kediaman yang boleh
berfungsi secara automatik menggunakan fungsi kecerdikan buatan. Keputusan ini menunjukkan
kombinasi logik fuzzy dan rangkaian neural boleh meningkatkan prestasi dan kecekapan sistem
kawalan tersebut dengan bantuan manusia yang minimum.
