A novel consumer clock device based on grey relational analysis

People have the need to use a novel consumer clock device for home automation, personal security and convenience. This paper presents the design and implementation of the innovative system. The system architecture which is controlled by micro-controller unit (MCU) includes main alarm clock module, lucky module and security module. In the main alarm clock module, we create a novel hourglass clock model and intelligent alarm clock features based on grey relational analysis. In the lucky module, we design a unique structure of live round according to the medical theory of psychology and hashing function for randomization. In the live round, it includes the fortune of love, career, family, and health. It adopts funny and encouraged voice to transmit messages. The system also provides the function of security using infrared sensors and third-generation (3G) mobile phone unit. The system has been successful and gets the award in Taiwan.
