利用壓力感應達成智慧型家庭中的使用者追蹤以及服務提供

Inhabitant Tracking and Service Provision in an Intelligent e-Home via Floor Load Sensors

指導教授 : 傅立成

摘要


由智慧型電子家庭系統提供服務給家庭內的成員的目的在於增進使用者的舒適程度,而服務的提供必須要適時、適地才不會造成使用者額外的困擾。智慧型電子家庭系統可以透過不同的微型電腦設備,例如嵌入式裝置、資訊家電、及家庭控制網路來提供各式各樣的應用。隱藏在家庭中任意角落的微型電腦設備一方面可以用來紀錄家庭環境的現況,同時也可以針對不同的需求而提供適當的服務。 透過環境資料的收集和彙整,智慧型電子家庭系統可以逐漸了解到家庭成員的不同需求;依照這些推論出來的不同需求,智慧型電子家庭系統將可以提供使用者更舒適的環境。 在眾多的環境資料之中,使用者所在的位置,例如:樓層、房間甚至是使用者的精確座標位置,如果可以被正確地紀錄下來,一方面可以提供系統作仔細的使用者喜好分析,另一方面,也可以在最即時的情況下提供使用者最適當的服務。現有的使用者追蹤系統通常都會需要在使用者身上佩帶額外的設備(如: RF-ID tags) 或者是需要很多事前的校正(如:影像追蹤),這樣的追蹤系統在提供服務的同時,也造成了使用者的困擾。 因此,在這篇論文中,我們提出了一套藉由使用者本身體重作為追蹤媒介的室內多使用者追蹤系統。使用者不再需要攜帶多餘的設備來提供系統任何的資訊;我們所採用的壓力地板感應器也不需要許多的事前校正。我們所採用的追蹤方法也具有及時與精確的兩個特性。 最後再搭配上之前的使用者喜好推論系統,可以達成在感應使用者重量的一瞬間就根據使用者的喜好來提供適當的服務。

In this thesis, we utilize the inherent identity, the weight of the inhabitants, to track the movement of the inhabitants and provide appropriate services after determining the location of the inhabitants. There are several studies on tracking inhabitants in all kinds of environments, such as RF-ID tags or Image-detection. Those approaches sometimes require the inhabitants to wear some devices or need much pre-calibration before tracking the inhabitants. Such approaches make the inhabitants feel uncomfortable while the purpose is trying to provide convenient services to the inhabitants, which is somewhat ironic. Our approach uses the floor load sensors to perceive the weight of the inhabitants and utilizes the weight to track the inhabitant, so there is no need for inhabitants to wear any devices on them, thus making the sensory floor and the tracking algorithm we adopted need less pre-setting than other approaches. The IEHS (Intelligent E-Home System) can use the location of the inhabitant to be one kind of inhabitant’s preference data. By integrating the present research results and our previous study “APPLE” system, the IEHS can provide adequate services to the inhabitants at the proper time and the proper location.
