This article presents a convenient means to
inter-relate appliances in an intelligent living
space. While more and more wireless devices are
phased in, a user can barely familiarize herself
with managing these devices. This is because wireless
devices often operate in some form of binding
relationships among themselves, which are typically
set up at startup in a self-organizing fashion,
leaving the user little room for intervention. As a
remedy, we propose a software-hardware codesign
and implementation that enable the user to adapt
network operations to certain needs anytime without
knowledge of low-level details. Binding manipulation
is done straightaway with simple mouse
clicking and dragging on icons in our graphical
user interface. We demonstrate example applications
in green power systems as well. A practical
platform over which to inspire other applications,
this study elegantly lends itself to generic wireless
network environments.
