Outline of Final Research Achievements

Sensor-based monitoring of daily activities is a basic technology for developing real world-oriented services such as surveillance of single living elder persons. Although various kinds of sensing technologies have been proposed and developed, the existing solutions have several problems such as installation cost, maintenance cost, and cost related to daily use in actual living environments. In this study, we developed low-cost sensing systems for daily activities to cope with the above problems. Specifically, we have employed sensors embedded in daily objects such as a light bulb and power strip and employed radio sensing that propagate through an indoor environment of interest to achieve daily life monitoring that places small burdens on residents.
