    In this paper, Environmental Control System for spinal cord injured to support their living is proposed. A distinguished feature of this system is that an original image processing technique is introduced as a smart input device. In addition, infrared signal emitter and receiver system are developed to reduce the cables and devices around the bed. These two features established the well-organized nursing environment.
