Abstract

There have been many researches to detect and recover from faults on smart home environment, because these faults should lower its reliability. while, most of these researches have addressed functional defects of devices or software malfunction, few attempts have been made to deal with faults which may occur due to the inter relationships among devices. In this paper, we define the relationships among devices as rules, and propose a method for generating fault diagnosis knowledge which defines the symptoms and causes of faults. We classify the contexts of devices into two sets, depending on whether it satisfies the rules or not. when this method is applied to smart home environment, it is feasible not only to detect faults that may occur due to the relationships among devices but to identify their causes at real time.

스마트 홈에서 발생하는 다양한 형태의 오류는 스마트 홈의 신뢰성을 저하시키기 때문에 스마트 홈에서 오류의 검출 및 복구를 위한 연구가 그 동안 진행되어 왔으나, 이들 대부분은 장치의 기능적 고장이나 소프트웨어의 오동작 등에 한정되어 있고, 장치간의 연관 관계에서 발생하는 오류에 대한 것은 없었다. 본 논문에서는 장치간의 연관 관계를 규칙으로 정의하고, 규칙의 만족 여부에 따라 컨텍스트를 두 집합으로 구분한 다음, 장치간의 연관 관계에서 발생하는 오류의 증상과 원인을 정의하는 오류 진단 지식 생성 방법을 제시한다. 향후, 스마트 홈에 적용하여 이 방법을 장치들의 연관성에 의해 발생하는 오류의 탐지와 그 원인의 식별이 실시간으로 가능하다.
