Recently, as elderly people population grows, the burdens on caretakers are getting larger. In daycare centers, caretakers make a daycare report aiming to improve the senior citizen's Quality of Life. However, in the present situation, it is difficult for caretakers to record the senior citizen's activity in detail, since each caretaker needs to take care of several senior citizens at the same time...
These days, smart home applications such as a concierge service for residents, home appliance control and so on are attracting attention. In order to realize these applications, we strongly believe that we need a system which recognizes the various human activities accurately with a low cost device. There are many studies which work on the activity recognition in the smarthome. Moreover, we also have...
These days, smart home applications such as a concierge service for residents, home appliance control and so on are attracting attention. In order to realize these applications, we strongly believe that we need an indoor positioning system which fulfills the following requirements: Req 1: high accuracy; Req 2: low installation cost; Req 3: small burden on the user; Req 4: low privacy invasion. There...

Recently, as elderly people population grows, the burden on caretakers are getting larger. In day care center, caretakers are taking care records aiming to improve care receiver's Quality of Life (QoL). However, in the present situation, it is difficult for caretakers to record care receiver's activity in detail because each care worker needs to take care of several care receivers at the same time...
The development of wearable technologies has generated significant interest in the last decades. Considering global social issues such as aged society besides the technologies, senior citizens suffering from memory loss would be one of potential user groups. Since the use of eyeglasses among the elderly is quite common, we have constructed a navigation interface on eyeglasses by implanting a set of...
These days, the proposition that various applications in local indoor navigation have attracted significant attention recently is the provocative one. In order to improve and optimize the indoor navigation applications, we have to obtain the accurate floor plan of target place such as building and home environments. However, the belief that all the buildings provide us with accurate floor plan for...
In this paper, we propose an energy-saving device control method with the minimal reduction of user's comfort level. Given the past histories of device's states and the target energy-saving ratio, our method first assigns each device the weight proportional to the comfort level deterioration when reducing energy supply to the device by a unit of energy and reduces more energy supply from less weighted...
