Abstract

In recent years, because of the development of ubiquitous technology in healthcare research is actively progress. Especially, healthcare service area is change to home for the elderly or patients from hospital. The technology to identify residents in a home is crucial for smart home application services. However, existing researches for resident identification have several problems. In this case, residents are needed to attach of various sensors on their body. Also relating private life, it is difficult to apply to resident's environment. In this paper, we used constraint-free sensor and unconscious sensor to solve these problems and we limited using of sensor and indoor environment in the way of working economical price systems. The way of multi-resident identification using only these limited sensors, we selected elements of personal identifications and suggested the methods in giving the weight to apply these elements to systems. And we designed the SABA mechanism to tract their location and identify the residents. It mechanism can distinguish residents through the sensors located each space and can finally identify them by using the records of their behaviors occurred before. And we applied the mechanism designed for applications to approve this location tracking system. We verified to the location tracking system performance according to the scenario.

최근, 유비쿼터스 기술의 발전으로 인하여 헬스케어 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 특히, 헬스케어 서비스 영역은 독거노인 또는 환자를 위해 병원에서 가정으로 변화하고 있다. 홈에서 거주자를 식별하는 기술은 스마트 홈 응용 서비스에 매우 중요하다. 그러나, 기존의 거주자 식별연구들은 여러 문제점을 갖고 있다. 몸에 다양한 센서를 부착해야 하며, 개인 프라이버시와 관련되어 거주자 환경에 적용하는데 문제점들이 따르고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 무구속, 무자각을 지향하는 센서들의 사용과 저비용으로 시스템을 구현하기 위한 방법으로써 실내 환경 및 센서의 사용을 제한하였다. 이렇게 제한된 센서들만을 이용하여 거주자를 식별하기 위한 방법으로 개인을 식별할 수 있는 요소들을 추출하고 이러한 요소들을 시스템에 적용하기 위해 가중치를 부여하는 방법을 이용하였다. 그리고 거주자를 식별하고 위치를 추적하기 위한 SABA 메커니즘을 설계하였다. SABA 메커니즘은 각 공간별로 배치된 센서들을 통해 거주자를 식별하고 거주자의 행위에 의해 발생한 이전 이벤트들의 기록들을 활용하여 최종적으로 거주자를 식별하여 개별 거주자의 위치를 추적한다. 그리고 본 위치 추적 시스템의 수행성을 검증하기 위해 구현한 응용에 설계된 메커니즘을 적용하고 시나리오를 통해 위치 추적 시스템의 성능을 검증하였다.
