Research Direction of Smart Home Real-time Monitoring

Abstract

This research introduces six different applications of Smart Home Real-time Monitoring technology, specifically on their implementations. The ultimate goal of the real-time monitor research is to use smart home technology to provide a better living environment for people in the future. This research provides five models, namely: Sleep Monitoring System Using Kinect Sensor; Smart Home Energy Management System; Smart Home-Based Health Platform for Behavioural Monitoring and Alteration; Distributed smart sensor system for indoor climate monitoring; Innovative Smart Home System Powered by Botanical IoT and Emotion Detection. Smart home real time monitoring represents an important first step in the field of smart environment-based health monitoring and assistance, energy management system and indoor environment management system as well. The architecture can be used to monitor the behaviour of the residents, for example, activity, diet, and exercise compliance and evaluate the effects of alternative medicine and behaviour regimens. Also, this architecture can be used to maintain the comfort state of the indoor environment, which is safe, convenient, environmental-friendly and healthy. We believe these technologies are essential for providing accessible, low-cost life assistance in an individual’s own home and for providing the best possible quality of life for individuals in the near future.
