Abstract

We developed a hardware-based cognitive user interface to help inexperienced and little technology-affine people to get easy access to smart home devices. The interface is able to interact (via speech, gestures, or touchscreen) with the user. By learning from the user’s behavior, it can adapt to each individual. In contrast to most commercial products, our solution keeps all data required for operation internally and is connected to other UCUI devices only via an encrypted wireless network. By design, no data ever leave the system to file servers of third-party service providers. In this way, we ensure the privacy protection of the user.
