Abstract

As smart homes are being more and more popular, the needs of finding assisting systems which interface between users and home environments are growing. Furthermore, for people living in such homes, elderly and disabled people in particular and others in general, it is totally important to develop devices, which can support and aid them in their ordinary daily life. We focused in this work on sustaining privacy issues of the user during a real interaction with the surrounding home environment. A smart person-specific assistant system for services in home environment is proposed. The role of this system is the assisting of persons by controlling home activities and guiding the adaption of Smart-Home-Human interface towards the needs of the considered person. At the same time the system sustains privacy issues of it’s interaction partner. As a special case of medical assisting the system is so implemented, that it provides for elderly or disabled people person-specific medical assistance. The system has the ability of identifying its interaction partner using some biometric features. According to the recognized ID the system, first, adopts towards the needs of recognized person. Second the system represents person-specific list of medicines either visually or auditive. And third the system gives an alarm in the case of taking medicament either later or earlier as normal taking time.
