Intelligenza ambientale per il monitoraggio e l'assistenza domestica: un'infrastruttura di controllo basata su comunicazione IP
No full textIn questa ricerca è stato sviluppato un sistema di automazione domestica e di edificio basato su tecnologie IP. Il sistema sviluppato sfrutta tecnologie standard ad ampia diffusione e consente l'integrazione di sensori ed attuatori con interfacce diverse normalmente utilizzate nell'automazione domestica ed industriale grazie ad un dispositivo intelligente progettato per l'interfacciamento. Il risultato è un sistema aperto, flessibile ed affidabile particolarmente adatto anche al supporto di anziani e disabili, grazie alla possibilità di integrare una grande varietà di periferiche e di definire servizi specifici per le più diverse necessità.In this research work an IP-based home and building automation system has been developed. The system exploits standard technologies with wide spread and integrate sensors and actuators with a wide range of interfaces, usually suited for home and industrial automation, using a specifically developed intelligent interface device. The result is an open system, flexible and dependable, specially suited also for elderly and disabled people support, thanks to the capability to integrate a wide variety of peripherals and to define specially suited services for many different needs
Multi Sensor Assistant: A Multisensor Wearable Device for Ambient Assisted Living
No full textIn this paper, a novel multi-sensor wearable device, called MuSA, is introduced. MuSA aims at integrating in the CARDEA ambient-assisted-living framework: on the one hand, MuSA provides CARDEA with useful ambientintelligence features, such as localization and identification; on the other hand, it may borrow many infrastructural and communication components from the environmental control system, resulting in a less expensive implementation. MuSA exploits on-board sensors and signal processing units for fall, heartbeat and breathing rates detection. At this level too, sharing of part of the circuitry enables power and cost savings. Ubiquitous computing paradigm is followed, carrying out all of the signal processing and decision processes at the wearable node: this makes communication toward supervision levels much less demanding and independent on the actual physical features of the sensors themselves. Tests have been carried out, confirming that the low-cost approach which has been followed still allows for adequate quality of responses. Field test is starting, to evaluate psychological and ergonomic aspect as well. Copyright © 2012 American Scientific Publishers
