Smart Infer Hopper: An Infrared Bluetooth Controlled App Based Remote Control for Projector

Abstract

Abstract

The research paper ventures through the control of projector wirelessly with smart phone. Present remotes work on IR based communication. The device to be controlled is considered as a receiver and the remote behaves as a transmitter. In case the remote is lost, the controlling becomes impossible, thus making it difficult for the user to operate the device. In this paper, authors have tried to remove this hardware dependency by controlling the infrared device using the Bluetooth technology. A prototype of wireless remote has been developed using Arduino microcontroller, Bluetooth module and IR LED. An Android based app is also developed to control IR LEDs wirelessly through smart phones. This device takes care of security issues encountered with Bluetooth based communication also. The app is designed to satisfy this need. It asks for an authenticated user id and password to be operated and name of the Bluetooth devices are also encrypted, so that intruders will not get access to the developed device. There are several IR based remotes but the developed product stands apart because of its user friendly user interface, authentication, speed of operation and cost.
