Due to radical advancement of sensor network technologies, smart home service market has been growing than ever before, that enables our life easier, simpler, and safer. Floor sensors in houses have been developed to locate user presense and to provide location-based, context-awaring scenarios as well as to minimize privacy invasion. However, there is an installation cost and user identication issues where the sensors are installed on whole floor and have low scanning resolution. In this paper…

Smart Textiles for Smart Home Control and Enriching Future Wireless Sensor Network Data
TLDR
Considering future applications of smart textiles, whether for personal or commercial usage, the data contents that would be stored in a WSN are predicted and how to ensure safety and network stability is discussed.
Smart home resident identification based on behavioral patterns using ambient sensors
TLDR
The proposed approach improves the results of the previous researches which consider behavioral patterns to identify smart home residents, and introduces an innovative strategy which considers the Bag of Sensor Events and Bayesian networks.
Smart home user identification using bag of events approach
TLDR
The behavioral pattern of smart home's users can be extracted to distinguish each user from others and a bag of activity approach is introduced to overcome the problem of behavior inconsistency.
Development of Electronic Floor Mat for Fall Detection and Elderly Care
TLDR
This designed mat is a non-invasive device essential for detection of fall and monitoring and apart from fall detection, surveillance system has been incorporated to support vision-based activation for the fall detection system and user access logging.
