Abstract(in English) With the progress of super-aged society, the number of elderlies living alone has increased, and the number of falls in the home has also increased. In order to improve these situations, we are studying a walking sound identification method that predicts walking movements using elderly walking sounds and prevents falls. In this study, we focus on the fact that elderly people tend to walk on sliding feet as a pre-step to fall. The fact that the acoustic features of walking sound are greatly different between normal walking and sliding feet is used. After the two are identified using a neural network, if sliding feet is detected, the elderlies are warned or alerted to prevent falls. As an evaluation of the discrimination method, we recorded normal walking sounds from barefoot, slippers, and socks, and walking sounds from the normal and sliding footsteps. The walking sound of multiple people was used. We examined the effects of the learning method on the discrimination performance, such as changes in performance depending on whether footwear and walking people are distinguished as learning categories, and performance when evaluating walking people that were not used for learning.
