Abstract

Development of Smart Home Gesture-based Control System

Highlights

  • 1.1 Research backgroundThe population in Taiwan has been aging rapidly because of subreplacement fertility and medical advances

  • Because the majority of older adults prefer to stay at home and look after themselves,(2) improving the safety and convenience of daily life is crucial for older adults

  • Physical functions in older adults tend to deteriorate with age,(3) such as eyesight,(4) hearing, speaking, and physical ability.(5,6) Improving the quality of life for older adults through sensors and smart control facilities has become a critical task.(7) We have developed a prototype smart home gesture-based control system

Summary

Introduction

1.1 Research backgroundThe population in Taiwan has been aging rapidly because of subreplacement fertility and medical advances. Smart control facilities have increasingly been introduced into the home environment to increase the safety and convenience of daily life for older adults. Physical functions in older adults tend to deteriorate with age,(3) such as eyesight,(4) hearing, speaking, and physical ability.(5,6) Improving the quality of life for older adults through sensors and smart control facilities has become a critical task.(7) We have developed a prototype smart home gesture-based control system. With this system, older adults can gesture to the sensor to give instructions, allowing them to conveniently operate smart appliances in the home. It is a type of automatic switch that uses small currents to control large currents and has functions of automatic regulation, safety protection, and circuit conversion
