Intelligent smart home energy efficiency model using artificial TensorFlow engine

Abstract

AbstractSmart home and IoT-related technologies are developing rapidly, and various smart devices are being developed to help users enjoy a more comfortable lifestyle. However, the existing smart homes are limited by a scarcity of operating systems to integrate the devices that constitute the smart home environment. This is because these devices use independent IoT platforms developed by the brand or company that developed the device, and they produce these devices based on self-service modules. A smart home that lacks an integrated operating system becomes an organizational hassle because the user must then manage each device individually. Furthermore, this leads to problems such as excessive traffic on the smart home network and energy wastage. To overcome these problems, it is necessary to build an integrated management system that connects IoT devices to each other. To efficiently manage IoT, we propose three intelligent models as IoT platform application services for a smart home. The three models are intelligence awareness target as a service (IAT), intelligence energy efficiency as a service (IE2S), and intelligence service TAS (IST). IAT manages the “things” stage. IAT uses intelligent learning to acquire a situational awareness of the data values generated by things (sensors) to collect data according to the environment. IE2S performs the role of a server (IoT platform) and processes the data collected by IAT. The server uses Mobius, which is an open-source platform that follows international standards, and an artificial TensorFlow engine is used for data learning. IE2S analyzes and learns the users’ usage patterns to help provide service automatically. IST helps to provide, control, and manage the service stage. These three intelligent models allow the IoT devices in a smart home to mutually cooperate with each other. In addition, these intelligent models can resolve the problems of network congestion and energy wastage by reducing unnecessary network tasks to systematically use energy according to the IoT usage patterns in the smart home.
