A Smart Environments Architecture (Search)

“…Another aspect noticeable at the top of figure 1 is the possibility to consider Virtual Assistants which offer options for interaction with users (see for example, Nurgaliyev et al (2017) and Ospan et al (2018)). These are linked to the overall architecture as it is an optional feature, although in practice is common.…”

“…Another interesting aspect of the argumentation system is that when a decision has been taken it provides an explanation based on the winning argument. There is also a Case-based reasoner Ospan et al (2018) which can handles the evolution of certain cases providing some level of adaption and personalization.…”

Achieving Multi-User Capabilities through an Indoor Positioning System based on BLE Beacons

“…Several approaches have been tried to address the multiuser challenge in smarthomes. From a conflict resolution perspective, [5], [6] are examples of implementing multi-user capabilities in a smart home environment. Both research works use the profiles of the users in the form of roles and preferences to achieve conflict resolution through a context-aware virtual assistant.…”

Review on the Application of Artificial Intelligence in Smart Homes

“…We no longer need to go near each device to manually operate it. Most researchers utilized artificial neural networks to classify user inputs to create a natural dialogue, giving users the ability to control appliances by voice or text commands [24,25]. Voice recognition based on AI provides audio-based interaction technology that lets the users have full control over their home environment [26].…”
