This method is very simple in that the distance between the microphone and the target is estimated as the peak value of the range spectrum (i.e., the absolute value of the Fourier transform with respect to the power spectrum of the observed wave). However, in order to measure short distances, a transmitted wave with a wide bandwidth is required. Recently, we have theoretically developed the very-close-range ADM method based on the standing wave of audible sound using a single microphone (i.e., single-channel observations) by introducing an analytic signal instead of the power spectrum. The present paper newly describes a realization of compact system for very-close-range measurement and examines experimentally the effectiveness of the proposed system.","PeriodicalId":294532,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 2nd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127727986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order for home safety problem detection, there are three levels of events defined: elementary event, semantic event and entire event, which representing the meaning from parameter to single safety problem, and then the whole safety status of a house. For the relationship between these events and raw data, a Finite State Machine (FSM) based modeling is applied. Including the raw data, these are taken as input and output to the three levels of FSMs. By using this way of event composition, not only single safety problem, but also safety level of the whole house can be precisely described. In order to verify the mechanism of hierarchical FSMs and by using this mechanism, safety problems and safety level of a house can be correctly represented. And also verify that different levels of events can precisely representing what is happening. Two simulation cases are proposed: one is heat stroke and another is carbon monoxide poisoning. The simulation result shows that the simulation targets are satisfied.","PeriodicalId":294532,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 2nd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"167 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134162025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, more data is available to the consumer world from multiple sources including social network platforms. In order to deal with such amount of data, a new emerging technology “Big Data Analytics” is explored and employed for analyzing consumer behaviors and searching their information needs. Specifically, this paper proposes a Big Data application framework for analyzing consumer behaviors by using topological data structure, co-occurrence methodology and Markov chain theory. First, the consumer related data is translated into a topological data structure. Second, using topological relationships, a co-occurrence matrix is formed to deduce Markov chain model for consumer behavior analysis. Finally, some simulation results are shown to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed framework.","PeriodicalId":294532,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 2nd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114685052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
