Final product

Our final product exist out of several components, which have each his own function. The data during the night will be gathered with an arduino and sound sensor. Gobetwino logged the real time data to a .txt file on the computer. Matlab, a calculation program on the computer, will process this logged data real time. Finally, matlab will determine the best wake-up moment. At that moment, Matlab will start the alarm which will build up in volume. The computer will be used to play the sound. Matlab will also turn on a LED, which will also build up in brightness. When the user is awake, the Smart bedroom asked the users experience, and will use this feedback the next nights.

The sound will be like our ideal situation. Before the outer-and-outer wake-up time, there will be played a relaxing sound of singing birds. And at the outer-and-outer wake-up time, there will be a more iritating standard alarm to be sure the user will wake up. However the lights aren't like in our dream scenario. In our dream scenario, the smart bedroom will control the total room. Then, the Smart alarm can open the blinds more and more if it's light enough outside. Otherwise the Smart bedroom can put on the lights of the room more and more. But our final product can't control the blinds or lights in a room. Our final product mimic this actions by using a LED. This LED will be glow more and more, like the brightness in the room will do in the dream scenario.

User

Our final product isn't a completely finished product which is ready for consumer use. It's a prototype which isn't realy userfriendly. Now, the user have to do a many actions before the Smart Bedroom is ready. The user have to do the followoing steps now:

  • Make a .txt file.
  • Make (or change) a command in Gobetwino to log the gathered data on the made .txt file.
  • Fill in the right path and filename to the .txt file in Matlab.
  • Set the alarm and wake-up interval on the right time by using the notation in Matlab.
  • Connect the equipment on the right manner. (same port as defined in the Matlab script)
  • Upload and start the arduino-code. (while Gobetwino is closed)
  • Open Gobetwino. (the logging of data will start now)
  • Run in Matlab the script 'runscript.m'

So, this are much to many actions for a consumer. But the amount of actions isn't the only thing why our product isn't ready for consumer use. The interface is also very primitive. For example, now you've to fill in the wake-up time and interval in the script.
