PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

                In today's busy society, people are constantly on the move.  In times like these, they often times need means to simplify their lives while managing all the various aspects of their lives.  During times of economic turbulence, they need convenient methods to accomplish small tasks, save money, and increase efficiency.
In fact, home security is often a concern of many people.  While companies are able to monitor the safety of ones' home, people also want to have that knowledge in their hands.  They yearn to have the reassurance that their possessions are safe while having the control to do so.  In the haste of a busy schedule, people become absentminded and tend to forget whether their doors are locked or their windows are open.  Thus, this could leave them in a state of panic due to the unknown.  It is necessary for people to have a means to control the security of their home at the touch of a button.

PROPOSED SOLUTION

                To alleviate this problem, we will devise a home security system that can be activated at a touch of a button.  This system will utilize the fact that people are becoming more dependent on their cell phones.  The home monitoring system will have the capability of sending a message to the user regarding the status of the lock and other security features.  Likewise, with windows we will create a way to close ones' windows and then accordingly, a status message will be sent to the cell phone.
This system gives the user the control that they may want in order to keep their home safe.  Through the system, they can check on the status of some of the main forms of entry into their home while ensuring that intruders stay out.  The system gives them the convenience to access this information wherever they may be and they can then have the information delivered back to them and the touch of a button.
