Abstract
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.
