“…One of the possible technologies can be use of Smart materials when designing new Smart Furnitures. Smart materials can be used to implement this smart entity into non-smart objects or technologies, like Yanagihara et al (2005) described [111]. Another article from these authors introduces a novel way to allow non-expert users to create smart surroundings from non-smart objects as furniture and appliances available in homes and offices.…”

Within a ubiquitous environment, home and office furniture can be maximally utilized to provide ease, especially if the items are designed based on smart technology. For this reason, the acceptance of smart furniture has soared over the years. Given the vast influence of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 on technological advancement in furniture design, it is imperative to examine information and communication technology (ICT) solutions for the elderly in the context of smart furniture design and implementation. This article presents a review of the state-of-the-art literature in smart solutions for the elderly based on publications under ICT smart solutions for these elderly, along with smart furniture options and manufacturer activities in terms of fixing market prices for these furniture materials. Furthermore, patenting rights on some existing smart furniture designs for the elderly, given the current trends in worldwide acceptance, are examined. Moreover, this article also highlights opportunities introduced by IoT-based solutions for the elderly as current trends in research and their effects on human life. Some smart product examples from different enterprises are also presented. New, innovative and active designs must be developed, focusing upon human healthcare, and in turn providing greater comfort and convenience for elderly people. To fulfil these requirements, the also selected technical aspects of new Smart Furniture solutions in connection to the cost of these solutions are discussed. Simultaneously, Smart Furniture solutions need to be flexible, low-cost, easy to buy and install without expert knowledge, and widely available on the market.

Abstract.Recently, there is lots research for tangible objects which enables to support users everyday's life. However, due to the high price of sensors , endusers hesitate to attach such devices to physical objects. Even worth, batteries of embedded devices should despoil the living environment. Therefore, the lowprice system to detect users' phisical objects without battery is needed. We will propose a novel hardware platform using cheap RFID tags which can attach on any everyday physical objects. We have designed and implemented two size of RFID systems which have flexible multiple area antennas to support manage users' physical objects. This paper describes details of Smart-Furoshiki system and its applications.

Recently, there are many research for tangible objects which enables to support users' everyday life. Due to the high price of each sensor-attached devices themselves, we hesitate to attach such devices to any kinds of cheaper objects. To give an actual example, documents using at a weekly meeting is not worth to attach sensor-embedded wireless device which costs more than 15$. Even worth, dry cell batteries of sensor-embedded devices should despoil the earth environment to no small extent. Therefore, the low-priced system to support users' daily life without battery is needed. To satisfy above needs, we will propose a novel hardware platform, using inexpensive RFID tags and flexible cloth, which can detect physical desktop objects, called Smart-Furoshiki. This paper describes details of Smart-Furoshiki and its applications.
