KitchIntel designs and develops
inteligent computing and communications system for the kitchen that
connects appliances, cabinets, etc...; use RFID tags and barcodes to
track "inventories"; allow appliances to be programmed; etc...
Vision
KitchIntel Diagnostics (KID) is a system that can be
used to transport diagnostic information to and from various
kitchen appliances
Target Market
We anticipate that KID will be a mass-market
product, of most interest intitally to people in the middle- and
high-income groups.
Our preliminary research indicates that there are some other
companies discussing such products but that they are not very far
along in the design and development process.
Constraints
The core capabilities of KID must be developed in Java.
Business Requirements
KID must be flexible and must, wherever possible, use existing
protocols.
