Abstract

The intelligent home environment is a well-established example of the Ambient Intelligence application domain. A variety of sensors and actuators can be used to have the home environment adapt towards changing circumstances and user preferences. However, the complexity of how these intelligent home automation systems operate is often beyond the comprehension of non-technical users, and adding new technology to an existing infrastructure is often a burden. In this paper, we present a home automation framework designed based on smart widgets with a model driven methodology that raises the level of abstraction to configure home automation equipment. It aims to simplify user-level home automation management by mapping high-level home automation concepts onto a low-level composition and configuration of the automation building blocks with a reverse mapping to simplify the integration of new equipment into existing home automation systems. Experiments have shown that the mappings we proposed are sufficient to represent household appliances to the end user in a simple way and that new mappings can easily be added to our framework.

智能小部件用于智能家居环境中的直观交互和协调

智能家庭环境是环境智能应用领域的一个完善的例子。各种传感器和执行器可用于使家庭环境适应不断变化的环境和用户偏好。然而，这些智能家庭自动化系统如何运行的复杂性往往超出非技术用户的理解范围，并且在现有基础设施中添加新技术通常是一种负担。在本文中，我们提出了一个基于智能小部件的家庭自动化框架，该框架采用模型驱动的方法，提高了配置家庭自动化设备的抽象级别。它旨在通过将高级家庭自动化概念映射到低级自动化构建块的组成和配置，从而简化用户级家庭自动化管理，并通过反向映射简化新设备与现有家庭自动化系统的集成。实验表明，我们提出的映射足以以一种简单的方式向最终用户表示家用电器，并且可以很容易地将新的映射添加到我们的框架中。
