“…For example, inhabitant behaviors at home can be recorded with a time stamp. The relationship of the behaviors in time can thus be analyzed [24][25][26]. Another issue is that people's behavior and demand usually change with time.…”

Abstract. In this paper, we present a reminder system that sends a reminder list to the user's mobile device based on the history data collected from the same user and the events in the user's calendar on that day. The system provides an individualized service. The list is to remind the user with objects he/she might have forgotten at home. The objects that the user brings along with are detected by passive RFID technology. Objects are classified into three different levels based on their frequencies in the history data. Rules of the three levels are then followed to decide if a certain object should be in the reminder list or not. A feedback mechanism is also designed to lower the possibility of unnecessary reminding.

“…There have been major advancements in the area of smart homes research that is enriching the home environment with technology (e.g., sensors and interconnected devices in a network) [8]. The most popular smart home projects are MavHome (Managing an Adaptive Versatile Home) [9], GatorTech [10], CASAS smart home [11], EasyLiving project [12] etc. The design of smart home depends on user requirement and living lifestyle of the resident; several approaches are proposed to identify activities of daily living of the resident of the home [13].…”

Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) and Ambient Intelligence technologies are providing support to older people in living an independent and confident life by developing innovative ICT-based products, services, and systems. Despite significant advancement in AAL technologies and smart systems, they have still not found the way into the nursing home of the older people. The reasons are manifold. On one hand, the development of such systems lack in addressing the requirements of the older people and caregivers of the organization and the other is the unwillingness of the older people to make use of assistive systems. A qualitative study was performed at a nursing home to understand the needs and requirements of the residents and caregivers and their perspectives about the existing AAL technologies.

“…With the decrease in the prices of electronic sensors and automation devices such as X10 1 , their usage to provide control and various entertainment facilities in smart spaces are becoming hugely popular. In order to efficiently control intelligent physical devices inside a smart space, researchers have placed attention on the intuitive 3D GUI design and explored its usability issues [1] [2]. Compared to WIMP like 2D interfaces, a 3D user interface such as Second Life 2 can improve interaction with smart home.…”

“…With the growing popularity of Second Life (SL), users often design their virtual 3D homes mimicking that of their real homes. In this paper we propose the design and development of a flexible 3D virtual home interface [1] [2] in order to automate real world devices. 1 X10, http://www.x10.com/homepage.htm 2 Second Life, http://lindenlab.com/ Our proposed method as depicted in Figure 1 can be used to bridge the gap between the real home and the respective 3D virtual home in Second Life by incorporating services that control and synchronize the communication events to and from the smart home devices.…”

In this paper we propose the development details of a mobile client that allows virtual 3D avatar interaction and virtual 3D annotation control in Second Life. We established adaptation based virtual rendering of the Second Life client and encoded the real-time frames into video stream, which is suitable for mobile client rendering. Additionally, we re-mapped the touch based interaction of the user and feed that to the Second Life client in a form of keyboard and mouse interactions. As a proof of concept, we annotated a virtual environment object in Second Life and linked that with a real object by using X10 controllers. Further, we captured the mobile interaction of the user and provided controller interface to change states of the real object through the virtual object interaction. We argue that by using the mobile Second Life virtual interface the homeowner have a better look to monitor and control the home appliances. We present illustration of the prototype system and show its application in a smart environment setup.
