The Organic Smart Home is a generic framework as well as a runtime environment for the application in real smart homes to cope with the challenges of a flexible and adaptive energy management system.
For user-centred design of ICT solutions in the AAL field, an approach combining real household living lab and SmartHome lab seems promising. Based on our experiences within the AAL project FoSIBLE, ...we propose a mixed-method approach to develop and evaluate a Social TV system from both a bird′s eye and worm′s-eye perspective in regards to user acceptance and rejection. We provide insights into the methodological strategies and analyse the strengths and weaknesses of our proposition to demonstrate how the different methodological approaches can augment each other in the different phases of AAL projects.
Um neue IKT-Lösungen innerhalb von AAL-Projekten nutzerorientiert zu entwickeln und zu evaluieren, erscheint die Verbindung des Living Lab Konzeptes in realen Haushalten mit der Verwendung eines SmartHomes als Testumgebung vielversprechend. Basierend auf unseren Erfahrungen innerhalb des AAL-Projekts FoSIBLE stellen wir eine Verknüpfung beider Ansätze vor, um Social TV Systeme hinsichtlich der Nutzer-Akzeptanz bzw. Ablehnung sowohl aus einer Vogel- als auch Froschperspektive untersuchen zu können. Hierfür beschreiben wir die methodischen Strategien beider Ansätze und analysieren die jeweiligen Vor- und Nachteile, um aufzuzeigen wie sich die Ansätze in unterschiedlichen Projektphasen ergänzen können.
EN The present project illustrates the development of a REST solution based on the Internet of Things (IoT). The purpose of this system is to provide a layer of accessibility and interoperability to ...the devices that make a smart home. Through applied REST web services on these resources we managed to make their functionalities (turn light son and off, open or close blinds or consult data concerning temperature and humidity) be a universally accessible system by external applications. These can be voice and motion control programs, movement control, sound, or web applications for mobile, making it very heterogeneous. These applications can interact with other devices using the uniform interface provided by the HTTP protocol and the REST philosophy. The project ends with the development of a prototype client application, and details about how it interacts with the REST server of a smart home.
ES En este proyecto se diseñará una solución basada en la Internet de las Cosas (IoT) para construir una capa de accesibilidad e interoperabilidad a los dispositivos (luces, persianas, sensores de luz, de movimiento, de lluvia, etc.) de una vivienda inteligente. En concreto, se seguirá un enfoque basado en la Web de las Cosas (WoT) para hacer accesibles de manera universal estos recursos, implementados usando servicios web REST. El objetivo del proyecto será pues construir esta capa de interoperabilidad que ofrezca la funcionalidad que cada dispositivo ofrece (encender/apagar, subir/bajar/parar, establecer umbral, consultar estado, etc.) para poder desarrollar componentes que implementen funcionalidades avanzadas sobre estos dispositivos usando las tecnologías web como mecanismo de control. El proyecto se desarrollará en el ámbito de una vivienda inteligente real, y se testeará usando esta funcionalidad directamente sobre los dispositivos disponibles

With the recent advances in Internet of Things, smarthomes containing a variety of sensors are expected to monitor and react to the activities of daily living (ADL) of the residents with the goal of ...improving convenience, comfort, and safety. However, a single human activity may trigger multiple sensors, and each sensor is triggered by multiple activities. Also, the very human nature of interleaving activities along with the presence of multiple inhabitants makes ADL detection a complex problem. This paper tackles the problem with a data driven de-multiplexing approach termed TSFS (Temporal-Sensor-Frequency-Stitch) that disentangles each individual activity from the sensor stream and thus simplifies the ADL recognition problem. TSFS leverages temporal(TT), sensory(SS), and frequency(FF) information to discriminate between two consecutive/parallel activities, followed by a stitch(SS) to enhance segmentation. The multi-faceted approach helps us in correctly identifying segments; extensive evaluation on 10 public datasets reveals that TSFS is better by 185 percent when compared to a simple temporal segmentation approach. The activity detection accuracy yields within 93 percent of the best possible (an oracle) approach.
