The Forecasting of the Development of Home Automation

Abstract:

As technology grows, the automation technologies integrated into the realm we live, and it continuously to provide people more comfortable and efficient environment. This study systematically applies the TRIZ theory to find out the problems in home automation development. We use contradiction matrix and 76 standard solutions provided by TRIZ to filter out the possible development of these home automation issues in the future. In this research, we conclude the factors of home automation technologies as follows: (1) the efficiency of operating environment; (2) the installation and maintenance of Internet; (3) the security and privacy of Internet. After analyzing through the directions of TRIZ innovation principles and standard solutions, this study proposes the development trend of each sub-problem.
