Usage profiles of a smart appliance predict how the machine is expected to interact with its users according to its usage history, but, the problem of building usage profiles has been scarcely discussed in the literature. In this paper, we discuss general aspects of generating usage profiles and propose a daily pattern based probability model for usage profiling. We show how the probability mod...
