Event recording in Smart Room

Abstract

Activity tracking in smart space applications allows extending the applications with new features, such as automated generation of activity reports. In this paper we present a generic system — Event Recorder — that potentially can be used with any smart space application. We consider a particular case for Event Recorder: tracking events and producing summary reports of the activity held in Smart Room. The contribution of this study includes use case scenario and ontological representation model of Event Recorder, integration scheme of Event Recorder into the Smart Room system, and evaluation of appropriate visual formats for summary reports.
