Some of these patients are obliged to use artificial respirators and cannot have verbal communication with others. In order to support their communication, there exist various input devices like touch sensor input devices, capacitance sensor input devices and also vision input devices. In addition, computer controlled environment is helpful for such patients. By developing proper computer controlled environment which is controlled by the proper input device, even the patient with serious disability can live sound life. Due to the infrared network system, the computer controlled environment could be well organized., 9th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-Hoc and Sensor Networks, MSN 2013; Dalian; China; 11 December 2013 through 13 December 2013, Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks (MSN), 2013 IEEE Ninth International Conference on, Article number 6726374; 2013}, pages = {454--460}, publisher = {IEEE}, title = {Input Devices to Support Communication for People with Serious Disability}, year = {2013} }
