Remote Control System Design Based on Web Server for Digital Home

In this paper, we studied some new technologies and solutions for remote digital home control system. Although many solutions for remote digital home control system are being developed, few can be applied to real life because of different standard protocol. Each organization emphasizes on different area. Thus, we present a Web server based remote control system to connect Internet and isolated intelligent home control system, which can be widely used by common families. The Web server is more flexible, reliable, and easy maintenance. Field programming gate array (FPGA) is applied in our system as the core controller. This makes the system more efficiency and faster to achieve real-time control. Detailed implementation for client, Web server and hardware design is presented in this paper. The experimental result shows users can not only control home appliances such as air conditioner, video camera and lighting ect., but also check their status in real-time from anywhere through our system.
