nextR - Technical Proposed Design


nextR - Technical An Embedded Device as Solution

User can watch TV on remote itself. A small graphic LCD will be integrated on remote itself.

User can select to switch in multicast mode for telecast on multiple remotes at a time. (in case of urgent work, use this)

Two small speakers and a port for head-phone will allow user to access audio privately from the TV. (in case a call comes, use this)

User will also access old functionalities of IR remote on this device itself. Three possible options are there. Buttons Interface – Using GP/IO nXn Array. Motion Gestures – Using Accelerometer tilt pattern will be

sensed and recorded for issuing specific commands. Voice Commands – A microphone on remote would allow one

to operate it even from distance.


nextR – Financial Funding of USD. 1257 from IEEE Student

Enterprise Award. Consulting on designs with professors and

professionals. Looking forward to more extensions in the

project and funding from external agencies.


nextR - Management So far, we are a team of 4 + 2 members on this project. 2 modules initiated so far. Focus on COTS and OEMs. Planning to add, 10 more student members. Working with Electronics Hobby Center, DA-IICT. Project has been split into 7 minor-modules (2 each). 6 Months Development + 6 Months Integration.

Development: To be completed by Dec 2009. Integration: Further by May 2010.

Inviting people with expertise in this area to join us.


Thank You!!
