An IC card interface using embedded technology with universal remote controller for living support system

This paper presents an IC card interface using embedded technology with universal remote controller for living support system. There are many electronic and information devices in daily life. However handicapped and elderly people can find that it is very difficult to handle devices because there is many buttons and keys on interfaces of them. Although devices are needed to simple interfaces, researchers and engineers are investigating on the interfaces. With this background, the authors propose an interface which controls devices with only IC cards in daily life, and it expects to become an easy interface for controlling of them. Previous research discussed an outline and fundamental of the system, so this paper shows that development and effectiveness of the system with universal remote controller for practical use.
