One of the problems is how to make the technology adept and useful to human's usual life, and don't let human change his/her habit, especially these people who aren't familiar with new technology. The authors design a system concept that focuses on user's life rhythm, which support user based on his life style. Moreover, because the system depends on user information, it is also possible to offer a user-friendly interface that doesn't make user to spend a lot of time to learn the operation way. In our previous research, an activity system for human's daily life has been presented. However, before the system is in service, it has to wait until collect enough user information. In this paper, the authors apply previous research and the new system design concept to develop a human support system. The basic data of user's information are collected using questionnaires. Data mining are applied to analyze these data for building the basic life style information of user. The concept of user model is also contained for the system.
