“…Most of related state-of-the art systems consider smart homes and ambient assisted living (AAL) as a whole rather than a particular sub-domain such as smart kitchens and smart kitchen appliances. For instance in Smart Kitchen forAmbient Assisted Living [8] a novel design of smart kitchen incorporating AAL services is introduced. The system is based on Open Services Gateway initiative (OSGi)8 and AAL Open Association (AALOA)9.…”

ABSTRACT:We introduce a peculiar ecosystem aimed at ruling in remote the household appliances of the members of a special social network. The keen feature of the social network is a networked intelligence, equipped with cognitive tools that enable it to provide services fully compliant with the members' needs. The scheme is the following: The appliances are internet-connected through the home Wi-Fi router. The user asks the social network for a task to be executed by his appliance (for instance, washing three kilos of woollen coloured laundry), the network, in the role of an electronic super-mom, sends directly to the washing machine an optimal sequence of commands the recipes (such as: warm the water at 34°, soak for 57 minutes, etc.) to execute the task in a way that matches the user preferences, possibly green goals included. Feedbacks are sent by user and appliances themselves to the network intelligence to close the permanent recipe optimization loop, with offline advice on the part of appliance manufacturers. A properly devised user interface allows a friendly and accurate management of all interactions between the user and the social network, constituting the user-centric support of the cognitive driven services representing a genuine instance of WEB 4.0.

Objective: To provide an overview of the state of research concerning smart technologies that support independent living in buildings, as well as a deeper literature review of the specific challenges for the building industry. Methods: A systematic mapping methodology was applied in this study to provide basis knowledge on the state of the art. The initial search on three databases gave 3485 articles. Of these, 610 articles were finally selected as relevant to the study after removing the duplicates and screening by applying inclusion and exclusion criteria based on titles and abstracts. Keywording was performed in order to answer the research questions of the study. Results: Results from the systematic mapping technology allow the detection of almost mature technologies, as well as promising technologies and research gaps. Results from the deeper literature review have identified challenges and new trends specific to the building industry. Conclusions: Efforts are still needed for the building industry in order to contribute significantly to meeting societal needs. Further research: Research fields that would benefit from further research are highlighted.

A Smart Kitchen [3] that provides ambient assisted living services, a smart environment that increases the autonomy of elderly and disabled people in their daily activities. Bonani et al [4] used augmented reality techniques in a traditional kitchen with the projection of information on objects and surfaces to help people cook more quickly and safely.…”

We present a design and preliminary evaluation of novel visual guidance of a remote assistive system for the elderly to find hidden objects in a kitchen. Our system has two essential functions; 1) to update a list and corresponding location information of objects concealed in a shelf with at all times, and 2) to display images and texts about the objects on the corresponding area of the door of the shelf. We aim to realize assistive visual guidance to elderly for overcoming the deficits of initiation, planning, attention and memory deficits while performing kitchen-based activities of daily living such as finding items for cooking. In this study, we focus on hidden objects because there is an increased possibility for the elderly with cognitive impairments to forget where and what the object is due to the non-visibility. The paper shows the prototype system that uses RFID and projection technology. We conducted a user study with twelve elderly participants to evaluate the usability of the system using the System Usability Scale (SUS). Additionally, we also investigate the acceptability of the system by applying the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). The results demonstrate that the elderly participants found the system useful and easy to use. Finally, we conclude that a remote assistive system can be used to assist elderly to storing and retrieving objects from cabinet and shelves during a kitchen task but need more studies to make the system more efficient and effective.
