| Abstract(in English) | In recent years, the solitary death has been understood as a presumable problem for elderly people (especially, elderly living alone). Existing elderly monitoring services focus mainly on detection of emergency situations. However, if a small sign for such an emergency situation can be detected in advance, the occurrence of the emergency situation may be avoided by notifying such a sign to the supervisor (e.g., family). In this study, we propose a support system for detecting small anomalies that result in emergency situations for elderly, such as slight change in his/her life pattern due to ill heath, and for informing it quickly to the supervisor. Our system detects daily life activity (called events) from some sensors and logs of appliances. When an event occurs, the system supposes that the state of the monitored target is a normal state during the predefined period of time after the event occurs. We propose a method for deploying a sufficient number of sensors and appliances to the living space, in order to achieve that the target's activity time is covered by sufficient number of events to be generated by deployed sensors and appliances. Using an activity log of a person, which is measured by the ubiquitous home by NICT, we demonstrate an effectiveness of the proposed system. |
