The Home
Activity Simulator
This system
works to deter opportunist burglars by making a property appear
occupied in the abscence of the owners. The system uses Neural
Network technology, and can be connected wirelessly to the electrical
products in the household.
Once installed,
the system observes patterns of usage of lights, radios, TVs,
showers and other appliances, and records these patterns in
it's memory.
On leaving
the house, the owner activates the system with a one-touch sequence.
The system then begins to automatically operate various appliances
in a realistic systematic order, according to the patterns stored
in it's memory.
To the casual
observer (or opportunist thief) it will now appear as if the
house is indeed occupied, as the 'unseen owner' moves from room
to room turning lights on and off, and operating other electronic
products.
