Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research，we developed a watching sensor network system that can be remotely monitored human activity and housing performance from daily to emergency. To put it concretely, a motion detection sensor was developed with a device, which generates electricity from daily human activities such as opening and closing of a door. In order to detect any abnormality of human behavior and equipment performance at the time of a disaster, a vibration sensor also was developed that regularly measures the vibration and irregularly measures the seismic waveform during an earthquake. Based on the developed system, we proposed a learning type watching support model that determines abnormality of human behavior and equipment performance with measuring a daily vibration generated by resident activities.
