基於生活行為模式之銀髮族輔助系統

Abstract

由於醫療技術的進步，人類的致死率獲得一定程度的降低，而這也代表著人口老化社會的來臨。歸功於現在無線感測網路與物聯網的發展，將可以隨時隨地監控年長者的日常生活活動，且長期的日常生活資料將可以被分析，進而建立出長者的行為模型。概括而言，行為模式是關於長者生活行為非常重要之資訊，有了行為模型的幫助，照護者可以得知長者的生活習慣或習慣的改變，並且給予即時且適當的幫助。目前為止，已經有非常多的研究有關於如何學習人類的行為。然而，他們的假設可能過於簡單或者不能全面的將現實中複雜的人類行為萃取成有用的資訊。因此，我們提出一個以日常生活模式感知的行為學習框架，此框架著重於探勘年長者的日常行為跟預測，此框架發掘諸如一個活動的發生時間以及長度等週期性資訊，還有活動與活動之間的關聯性分析，以週期性跟循序性兩種不同方式學習長者的行為模式。透過多種行為模式的學習，將可以彌補單一模式的不足，達到準確的活動預測與異常行為的初步判讀。長者可以藉此了解自己的生活模式，照護者同樣可以得到有幫助的資訊。當發生異常時，我們的系統將及時給予照護者與長者本人通知。我們使用兩個公開的資料集與我們自己的資料集進行活動預測的評估，另外使用我們的資料集做異常偵測的評估。

Due to longer life expectancy and declining fertility rates, ageing society is arriving. Nowadays, close monitoring of daily activities of elders is enabled by employment of the advanced wireless sensor networks and Internet of Things, whose large quantity da-ta are then analyzed by activity recognition techniques whereby their behavior can be accurately modelled. In general, behavior is important information about how elders live, and caregivers can thus take care of elders more easily with the help from that infor-mation. So far, there are many research results related to learning of human behavior; however, their assumptions are usually either too simple or inflexible to account for complex human behavior in real life, which change dynamically depending on daily life pattern. We here present a daily pattern based framework for human behavior learning and prediction. Such framework discovers contexts like start time and duration of activ-ity from resident’s real life data and relations between activities, respectively. Learning multiple behavior models can achieve the accurate activity prediction and the prelimi-nary anomaly detection. Elders can examine the lifestyle of themselves and caregivers also can obtain helpful information. When anomaly happens, the system notifies elders and caregivers immediately. We evaluate the prediction accuracy on two public datasets and our own datasets, and also the anomaly detection rate on our own data, and the ex-perimental results have shown promising results.
