Title:Control through communication(POWER SAVER)
Field: Technical
Background:The utilization of electrical power progressively increases in now-a-days. The demand for the electrical power is also increases over the entire world, particularly in India the demand for electrical power increases more and more because of the increase in population. The people utilize the power higher than their requirements because of their sophisticated needs in the day to day life. The major part of electrical power is consumed by the urban areas than the rural areas .The people lived in the urban areas wants to make their life luxurious with the use of more power for their home appliances. The power conservation is more important to reach the demand of the electrical power; there are several methods available for the conservation of electrical power.
Every system is automated in order to face new challenges in the present day situation. Automated systems have less manual operations, so that the flexibility, reliabilities are high and accurate. Hence every field prefers automated control systems. Especially in the field of electronics automated systems are doing better performance increasingly
The mobile communications has become one of the driving forces of the digital revolution. Every day, millions of people are making phone calls by pressing a few buttons. Little is known about how one person's voice reaches the other person's phone that is thousands of miles away. Even less is known about the security measures and protection behind the system. The complexity of the cell phone is increasing as people begin sending text messages and digital pictures to their friends and family. The cell phone is slowly turning into handheld computer. All the features and advancements in Android technology require a backbone to support it. The system has to provide security and the capability for growth to accommodate future enhancements.

Scope: The present invention aims at devising a technology that gives hands on operations for the entire light appliances of home school or industrial premises. Appliances that silently suck electricity from wall outlets and discreetly inflate power bill. Use of security cameras that is integrated along with the circuit and accessed via all smart phones using simple application developed under android platform which is compatible with all the present devices makes a combo pack for a smart home energy management cum security system. Under which not only you have control of all appliances on the go but also you have house under your surveillance.
Considering some statistics that display power consumed by appliances due to sheer negligence. A fully charged cell phone plugged into the wall is consuming about 2.24 watts, or 60 percent of the power it consumed while charging. Even worse is a charged laptop that's still plugged in, which consumes 29.48 watts, 66 percent of the 44.28 watts consumed while charging. If you left it plugged in all year, it would consume as much electricity as running your coffeemaker for 12 days straight. Leaving an empty charger plugged in has a similar effect. Clasp your hands around one that's been plugged in for a while. Feel the heat? That's wasted electricity—technically, it's called "no load mode. According to the Berkeley Lab's testing, cell phone chargers in no load mode consume around 0.26 watts, and laptop chargers, 4.42 watts.
These numbers by themselves constitute a trickle, but when multiplied by the dozens of idle or "off' devices in millions of Indianhouseholds,these devices are responsible for an estimated 10 percent of residential energy use. That equates to at least $4 billion paid for wasted energy every year.
The present invention aims at cutting off the power supply directly when not in use so that even if the gadget remains plugged in no load mode it will not consume electricity inflating electricity. Using these ways even if every family saves 1 watt of power on regular basis. In a country like India with population is billions that would turn into several megawatts of power. Hence we say that power saved is power generated.
General objectives of the invention are defined as.
1. To co-ordinate appliances and other devices through Short Message Service (SMS).
2. To effectively receive and transmit data via SMS
3. To eliminate the need of being physically present in any location for tasks involving the operation of appliances within a household/office.
4. Minimize power and time wastage.
5. To have surveillance over premise so that unacceptable entrance is detected.

History.Energy conservation is an issue with many aspects that continue to evolve. There have been major areas of technical improvement. There are also important areas in which there has been virtually no improvement, and hence, most of the potential of energy conservation still remains to be tapped. All this development and turmoil has created strong currents of issues within the modern era of energy conservation.These are significant generalizations that we can make about the modern era of energy conservation,
The 1970's were a time of great ferment and rapid learning. The 1980's was. a period in which many bad ideas from the 1970 are collapsed. The 1990's was a time of stagnation and information loss.The new millennium restores interest in energy conservation, largely under the banner of environmental protection. By far the greatest advances came from equipment manufacturers. Most new concepts were introduced during the 1970's. By the 1990's, the equipment had become reliable. Remaining technical development is slow. Architects have disregarded efficiency in building design. Engineers, who are subordinates to architects in building design, continue to improve efficiency in a desultory manner. Most government programs failed. Important exceptions were information programs and equipment efficiency standards.
Energy conservation codes for construction were enacted into law, but they remain widely ignored. The industrial sector achieved much better efficiency improvement than the commercial sector, achieving most improvement during the years 1974 to 1985. Progress since then has been minor.Information mushroomed during the 1970's, and slowed substantially thereafter.
The Energy Efficiency Manual finally appeared at the beginning of the new millennium, filling the need(for a complete and easily usable guide to the main areas of energy conservation. All this development and turmoil has created strong currents of issues within the modern era of energy conservation

Brief DescriptiomThe (figure 4) represents the simple block diagram of the present invention. The first Mobile station is used as a transmitting section from which the subscriber sends text messages that contain commands and instructions to the.second mobile station which is based on a specific area where our control system is located. The received SMS message is stored in the SIM memory of the phone and then extracted by the microcontroller and processed accordingly to carry out specific operations.
The relay driver is used to drive the relay circuits which switches the different appliances connected to the interface. The LCD is used to indicate the status of the operation performed by the microcontroller and also its inclusion makes the overall system user-friendly. The input from different sensors are feed to micro-controller and processed to operate respective task semi autonomously and autonomously.
Assuming that the control unit is powered and operating properly, the process of controlling a device connected to the interface will proceed through the following steps;
• The remote user sends text messages including commands to the receiver.
• GSM receiver receives messages sent from the user cell phone.
• GSM receiver decodes the sent message and sends the commands to the microcontroller.
• Microcontroller issues commands to the appliances and the devices connected will switch ON/OFF
•Use of security camera integrated along with the circuit provides a smart surveillancesystem .

Detail Description:The microcontroller Flash and data RAM is used to control operations. A key feature of the microcontroller is X2 mode option. Another way to benefit from this feature is to keep the same performance by reducing the clock frequency by half, thus dramatically reducing the EMI.
The Flash program memory supports both parallel programming and in serial In-System Programming (ISP). Parallel programming mode offers gang-programming at high speed, reducing programming costs and time to market. ISP allows a device to be reprogrammed in the end product under software control. The capability to field/update the application firmware makes a wide range of applications possible.
One of the advantages of a serial system is that it lends itself to transmission over telephone lines. The serial digital data can be converted by modem, placed onto a standard voice-grade telephone line, and converted back to serial digital data at the receiving end of the line by another modem. Officially, RS-232 is defined as the "Interface between data terminal equipment and data communications equipment using serial binary data exchange."
The entire software has been developed using free ware tools likeandroid ,Kiel etc. Androidis Linux-based operating system designed primarily for touch screen mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet computers. In computer programming. Eclipse is a multi-language software development environment comprising a base workspace and an extensible plug-in system for customizing the environment.
The Eclipse SDK includes the Eclipse Java development tools (JDT), offering an IDE with a built-in incremental Java compiler and a full model of the Java source files. This allows for advanced refacton'ng techniques and code analysis. The IDE also makes use of a workspace, in this case a set of metadata over a flat file space allowing external file modifications as long as the corresponding workspace "resource" is refreshed afterwards.
Use of security camera which can be accessed using the smart phone applications which are readily available today in the Google store or can be custom developed as per need and demand makes it a perfect tool for total surveillance of premise.
