Abstract
DynaSurface is color change notification framework in connected devices and accessories. In this framework, devices and accessories are connected using a physical connector or short range communication. Multiple devices are connected using a controller for home networks and intra-home networks. Devices and accessories are coated with nano paints. Coating is for full body or portion of body. With advances in nano technology, nano paints that change color on voltage change are available [1]. These paints change color in a color range when subjected to voltage change. Even though other materials can be used, nano paints achieve substantial savings in terms of BOM cost, memory, real-time response and power consumption, which can not be achieved with other materials discussed in the paper. Applications on device are capable of interacting with programmable paints using an API. In this paper, we present end to end components of the framework and how they interact in a network based on ambience inputs, which is substantiated using simulation results
