Inhabitant Guidance of Smart Environments

چکیده
With the convergence of technologies in artificial intelligence, humancomputer interfaces, and pervasive computing, the idea of a “smart environment” is becoming a reality. While we all would like the benefits of an environment that automates many of our daily tasks, a smart environment that makes the wrong decisions can quickly becoming annoying. In this paper, we describe a simulation tool that can be used to visualize activity data in a smart home, play through proposed automation schemes, and ultimately provide guidance to automating the smart environment. We describe how automation policies can adapt to resident feedback, and demonstrate the ideas in the context of the MavHome smart home.

Virtual reality (VR) technologies and systems have the potential to play a key role in assisting disabled inhabitants of smart home environments with instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). While immersive environments have useful applications in the fields of gaming, simulation, and manufacturing, their capabilities have been largely untapped in smart home environments. We have develo...
متن کاملTree Alignment Based on Needleman-Wunsch Algorithm for Sensor Selection in Smart Homes
Activity recognition in smart homes aims to infer the particular activities of the inhabitant, the aim being to monitor their activities and identify any abnormalities, especially for those living alone. In order for a smart home to support its inhabitant, the recognition system needs to learn from observations acquired through sensors. One question that often arises is which sensors are useful...
متن کاملTowards Context-Aware User Guidance in Smart Environments
—Context-aware guidance systems need to observe and react to the user even if she does not always follow the instructions exactly. A human guide can easily adapt to such situations while a computer guide needs a model how to guide the user, has to work with unreliable sensor data to observe the user, and, in the case of multiple active processes, needs to assign the right sensor information to ...
متن کاملIdentification of Lifestyle Behavior Patterns with Prediction of the Happiness of an Inhabitant in a Smart Home
With the rapid growth of the population and the increase in the elderly age group, there is a need to improve and maintain an independent, secure healthy lifestyle. A possible method to address this need is to apply intelligent technology using machine learning techniques in smart homes to remotely monitor an individual’ s activities. The MavHome project uses a system of basic sensors to monito...
