Microcontroller implementation of rule-based inference system for smart home

Abstract

Recently, the development of Machine to Machine (M2M) communication has been largely accomplished in a variety of fields including smart home. In M2M communication, the role of sensor node is only limited to gather data and send them to upper application layers. In this research, the limited role of the sensor node in traditional M2M communication is improved in order for the sensor node to make inference based on the sensor data. If the sensor node can make inference, it is possible to provide basic context-aware services within sensor node level. Therefore, in this paper, implementation of rule-based inference system on microcontroller for smart home is proposed.
