ProsperPC is an idea of personal computer optimized to be used by the entire family, improving lifestyles and simplifying things.



It works as a central unit that monitors all your home environment and that can alert family members of wasted resources or regulates the energy usage when it passes the normal limit.
It not only connects and monitors all the other devices in your home but registers the levels of air and water quality using specially designed sensors embedded inside ducts, gas lines, water lines and all electrical outlets.



This type of detailed information would help the users know exactly on what appliances to save money and what consumes less.
The personal computer functionality refers at when ProsperPC helps those that live in the house to remember their schedules, sending them reminders via messages, or when it displays media on the TV for the entire family gathered in the living room.
It is an interesting computer concept that doesn’t look too futuristic in my view and it could probably be developed in the near future.



The designer sees it consisting of 4 main parts: the portable display unit of 9-ich high, 12-inch wide and 2-inch deep, a secondary unit, the remote control of 6 inches long, 2 inches wide and ¾ inches deep, and an appliance adaptor, with their construction made of injection molded recycled plastic housings with snap enclosure details.
Because for the internal elements co-molded rubber sleeves would be used, the device would be protected against shocks and noise.



For the user interface, ProsperPC comes with a full touch-sensitive surface with a displayed or projected keyboard for easy typing and each family member has to be authenticated through the biometric sensor before being able to control the computer.
The portable unit can be used as a normal laptop with embedded stand and cooler and it is powered by a battery that charges when the unit is placed in the special base that is hardwired into the electric system. Same recharging process is adopted by the remote control while placed in the holster hung below the base.



Here are the technical aspects detailed:
“If ProsperPC is hardwired into the electrical system, it has direct contact with the home’s breaker box to monitor electrical output. However, to update with future technology, the device could wirelessly communicate with intelligent breakers monitoring electricity for the home and appliances plugged in. An option for the system’s power is to upgrade to photovoltaic cell windows. Here the PV windows are intelligent and shade automatically to aid ProsperPC with the most effective means of climate control.”
