Typical Week
- Saturday – Run errands including groceries.
- Monday – Stop off to pick up graham crackers on way to drop kids off, only 15 minutes late to work
- Thursday – Pick up milk and diapers on lunch break
- Friday – Try and figure out why you feel so frazzled at the end of the week
Introducing HSCM
• Intelligent System that can maintain commodity data inventory, rules/policies and consumption trends with a user friendly web interface.
• Connected to the Home Wi-Fi network and can communicate with external world over internet and can do processing on data based on event triggers (e.g., home entry/exit) Can send e-mail and phone SMS
• Runs background scheduler based on user-created consumption trends. Can trigger event if rule parameter is close to threshold.
• It hooks into home entry-exit door and has attached receipt scanner to extract commodity data and quantity from receipts.
How it works
• Adults in family carry a electronic key chain that interfaces with HSCM
• When adult exits home after 6:00 PM on weekdays and between 9:00 AM – 10:00 PM on weekends, HSCM generates shopping list
• When adult returns home, prompts (with beep) to scan receipts
• If no qualifying trigger for “n” days, but threshold value reached based on commodity consumption, it will ring alarm and send e-mail to mobile phone.
