Augmented Smart Refrigerator—An Intelligent Space Application
Abstract
Recently, with the advancement in computation technology, ubiquitous computing paradigms like Intelligent Spaces are not only gaining popularity but are also slowly getting into the price range of average households. However, while many everyday devices and services can be accessed and afforded by middle class families, smart refrigerators are still too expensive, even though they can be very useful to aid the economics and budgeting of the household. In this paper, an affordable smart refrigerator framework is proposed that can be implemented by using cheap, easily accessible devices to augment older, regular refrigerator models, integrating the core functionalities that many expensive models have, for a much lower cost.
