PROJECT TITLE:

Cell Phone Operated Control Of Home Appliances

INTRODUCTION:
Radio control (often abbreviated to R/C or simply RC) is the use of radio signals to remotely control a device. The term is used frequently to refer to the control of appliances from a hand-held radio transmitter. Industrial, military, and scientific research organizations make [traffic] use of radio-controlled appliances as well.

1.2 MOTIVATION AND PROPOSAL:

Conventionally, wireless-control use RF circuits, which have the drawbacks of limited working range, limited frequency range and limited control. Use of a mobile phone for control can overcome these limitations. It provides the advantages of robust control, working range as large as the coverage area of the service provider, no interference with other controllers and up to twelve controls. Although the appearance and capabilities of appliances vary vastly, most of them share the features of a mechanical, under some form of control. The control of the home appliances involves three distinct phases: reception, processing and action. Generally, the preceptors are sensors mounted over the appliance , processing is done by the on-board microcontroller or processor, and the task (action) is performed using motors or with some other actuators. so the motive is that to increase the range of remote controlled products.for this mobile phone operated control is best because we can globalize our project & no limitation of range.

1.3 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:

The objective of our project is to control the home appliance by mobile phone. In this project, the home appliance is controlled by a mobile phone that makes a call to the mobile phone attached to that appliance. In the course of a call, if any button is pressed, a tone corresponding to the button pressed is heard at the other end of the call. This tone is called dual-tone multiple frequency (DTMF) tone. The mobile phone at the appliance perceives this DTMF tone. The received tone is processed by the PIC16F877A

microcontroller with the help of DTMF decoder HT91708. The decoder decodes the DTMF tone into its equivalent binary digit and this binary number is sent to the microcontroller. The microcontroller is pre programmed to take a decision for any given input and outputs its decision to the desired action. The mobile that makes a call to the mobile phone stacked in the appliance acts as a remote. So this simple project does not require the construction of receiver and transmitter units. DTMF signaling is used for telephone signaling over the line in the voicefrequency band to the call switching centre. The version of DTMF used for telephone tone dialing is known as Touch-Tone. DTMF assigns a specific frequency (consisting of two separate tones) to each key so that it can easily be identified by the electronic circuit. The signal generated by the DTMF encoder is a direct algebraic summation, in real time, of the amplitudes of two sine (cosine) waves of different frequencies, i.e., pressing 5 will send a tone made by adding 1336 Hz and 770 Hz to the other end of the mobile phone.

1.4 Methodology
The method of project operation is given below. Makes call to the mobile phone (as receiver) attached to the aplliance. Now after answering the call, and in the course of the call, if any button is pressed control corresponding to the button pressed is heard at the other end of the call. This tone is called dual tone multi frequency tome (DTMF) robot receives this DTMF tone with the help of phone stacked in the appliance. The received tone is processed by the PIC16877 microcontroller with the help of DTMF decoder HT91708. The decoder decodes the DTMF tone in to its equivalent binary digit and this binary number is send to the microcontroller, the microcontroller is preprogrammed to take a decision for any give input and outputs its decision. The mobile that makes a call to the mobile phone stacked in the robot acts as a remote. So this simple robotic project does not require the construction of receiver and transmitter units. DTMF signaling is used for telephone signaling over the line in the voice frequency band to the call switching center. The version of DTMF used for telephone dialing is known as touch tone. DTMF assigns a specific frequency (consisting of two separate tones) to each key s that it can easily be identified by the electronic circuit. The signal generated by the DTMF encoder is the direct al-gebric submission, in real time of the amplitudes of two sine (cosine) waves of different frequencies, i.e. ,pressing 5 will send a tone made by adding 1336hz and 770hz to the other end of the mobile.
