A Pervasive Way: Elderly People Falling Detection and Ambient Intelligence
نویسندگان
چکیده
A stairway falling detection prototype is designed to warn when elderly people fall on the stairs and also accumulatively and unobtrusively study elderly people’s walking patterns. With this prototype, we try to demo a new design strategy, a pervasive way, to facilitate developing proper algorithms and living patterns for elderly people at home. Evaluation of the implicit interactions and potential cooperations with other research domains are then discussed.

Ambient Intelligence in the City Overview and New Perspectives
This text attempts to address deficits in the way ambient intelligence conceives of and designs for urban environments. It begins with an overview of issues surrounding ambient intelligence in the city, followed by critical voices and examples of alternative ambient intelligence systems. The text argues for the inclusion of pervasive sensing issues into urban planning, in particular to negotiat...
متن کاملAmbient intelligence in assisted living environments
The paradigm of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) aims at supporting humans in achieving their everyday objectives by enriching physical environments with networks of distributed devices, such as sensors, actuators, and computational resources. AmI is not only the convergence of various technologies (i.e. sensor networks and industrial electronics) and related research fields (i.e. pervasive, distribu...
متن کاملUser Modelling in Ambient Intelligence for Elderly and Disabled People
Ambient Intelligence (AmI) characterizes a vision where humans are surrounded by computers. Combining ongoing technological developments (e.g. pervasive computing, wearable devices, sensor networks etc.) with user-centred design methods greatly increases the acceptance of the intelligent system and makes it more capable of providing a better quality of life in a non-intrusive way. Elderly peopl...
متن کاملTowards Activity Theory - Preliminary Report: Ambient Intelligence Applied to Smart Education
The limitations and work processes for how people work and interact are suffering changes due to the very fast development of technologies. The use of computers as daily instruments has a reflective effect on people's activity and attitudes towards work. It is a challenge to take advantage of emergent technologies and also to overcome these technologies such as pervasive and smart places. We ha...
متن کاملThe Battle of Concepts: Ubiquitous Computing, Pervasive Computing and Ambient Intelligence in Mass Media
For the past two decades the concepts of ubiquitous computing, pervasive computing and ambient intelligence have been used to describe the Internet of Things. This paper studies how the three concepts of ubiquitous computing, pervasive computing and ambient intelligence have evolved (or not evolved) through and in mass media. It shows how the concepts have competed with each other in an almost ...
