Abstract
There are some types of diseases in which one can
not be able to move their bodies, can not speak, and
can not share their feeling to rest of the world.
There are some types of disease like as Amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou
Gehrig's disease. A-myo-trophic comes from the
Greek language. "A" means no or negative. "Myo"
refers to muscle, and "Trophic" means nourishment-
--"No muscle nourishment." So there is no muscle
movement in this type of diseases. So our aim for
this paper is to solve the problem of persons who
are suffering from such type of diseases. We use the
eye blinking as a parameter to communicate with
rest of the world. By our project one can
communicate with rest of the world by eye blinking.
The purposed aim for this paper is to communicate
this type of person with rest of the world suffering
from these types of diseases.

1. Introduction
In this system we have to designed an eye blinking
sensor based transmitter and receiver for getting the
right signal from the patients. Because the person
can blink their eyes so we use hardware part for
getting the right signal from the person and a
software part to choose the correct option click by
blinking their eyes. The hardware part contains the
infrared transmitter of such specification such that
the reflection can take palace by blinking of the eye
and the rays transmitted by the infrared transmitter
can not harmful for eyes. The receiver contains in
infrared receiver of such specification such that it
can sense the signal reflected by the eye blinking
and can able to discard the signal reflected by the
normal blinking of the eyes. The interface part used
for interfacing the hardware with the software part.
We interface the hardware part to the software part
through wireless using Bluetooth technology. In the
software part there is a desktop window on which
there are different options as per the requirement
and there is a cursor moving to each option in
