3. The Previous Project Multi-Sensors Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) By: Aviv Rosenberg & Ben-Ami Zilber

4. The Previous Project INPUTS: OUTPUTS: TOP LEVEL

5. Project Goals Automatic TV volume control Keeping TV volume on given level Detecting significant volume changes and acting accordingly Implementation of Universal TV Remote Controller (optional)

6. Project Milestones Part A: Microphone debugging microphone circuit Processing microphone samples Implementing an algorithm for AGC

7. Project Milestones Part B: Infra Red Learning existing IR Protocols (RC5, NEC,..) Detecting IR protocols frequencies Implementing functions for decoding IR messages Implementing functions for transmission

8. The algorithm Goal: -Finding reliable and stable method to measure volume level changes Problems: -Overcoming sensitivity for short but intense sounds -Avoiding ‘quiet’ samples -Typical TV Broadcasting volume is very inhomogeneous

9. The algorithm Solutions: 1.Measuring maximal value in time segment: new sample = max{sample(i)}, i=1,…,20 2. Averaging samples as follows: new avg = new sample + old avg 3. Throwing samples which are below certain value

10. The algorithm Implementation: 1.calculating stable value by sampling and averaging 2. Setting higher and lower thresholds values as app. 2% higher and lower then stable average value 3. An act is taken whenever a deviation from threshold values is detected

11. The algorithm Finding stable value Sample Start: Setting higher and lower thresholds New value < min => increasing volume New value > max => decreasing volume Otherwise do nothing

12. Two Main Infra Red Protocols NEC: RC5: f=38 kHz f=36 kHz

13. Implementation of different IR protocols issues Different Carry Frequencies Different ‘0’ and ‘1’ bit representation Different Start Sequence Toggle bit and repeat pulse Different bits number
