An intelligent home network system using low-power and low-cost sensor nodes was designed and implemented. In Intelligent Home Network System, active home appliances control is composed of RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) based user indoor location tracking, dynamic multi-hop routing, and learning integration remote-control. Through the remote-control learning, home appliances can be controlled in wireless network environment. User location information for intelligent service is calculated using RSSI based Triangle measurement method, and then the received location information is passed to Smoothing Algorithm to reduce error rate. In order to service Intelligent Home Network, moreover, the sensor node is designed to be held by user. The gathered user data is transmitted through dynamic multi-hop routing to server, and real-time user location & environment information are displayed on monitoring program.

As home network system begins serving in earnest, the recent fruits of research in home service robot show that the new epoch that human and intelligent robots are living, communicating and interacting together at home, may come true in the near future. In the other hand, it is generally known that the multiagent system, performing distributed process together with other different devices in a home network system, is better than single robot or single home server for adapting themselves to home environment and completing their mission because the characteristic of home environment is 'open'. Therefore, in this paper we suggest the framework model to define agents, which is needed lot the home with a home network system, and the communication protocol architecture between agents. For this, we focus our attention on an agent comprising the set of many agent instances rather than the single intelligent or ability of a robot or home server, and also suggest the way of adaptation for agent systems to their environments and interaction with human in the manner of cooperation and negotiation among agents or agent instances in each agent.

The intelligent PVR(Personal Video Recorder) is an enhanced PVR that provides viewers with some advanced features as well as pause, instant replay, search and skip forward found in conventional PVRs. By embedding a home server into a PVR, it is possible for an intelligent PVR to provide a powerful web-based management user interface constructed using HTML, graphics and other features common to web-browsers. When applied to other embedded systems, web technologies offer graphical user interfaces which are user-friendly, inexpensive, cross-platform and network-ready. It is the purpose of this paper to introduce implementation of intelligent PVR which is control by internet. We present the architecture of an home- server with a simple but powerful web-based network interconnection.

In this paper, we discuss the user-customized interaction for intelligent home environments. The interactive system is based upon the integrated techniques using both speech and face recognition. For essential modules, the speech recognition and synthesis were basically used for a virtual interaction between user and proposed system. In experiments, particularly, the real-time speech recognizer based on the HM-Net(Hidden Markov Network) was incorporated into the integrated system. Besides, the face identification was adopted to customize home environments for a specific user. In evaluation, the results showed that the proposed system was easy to use for intelligent home environments, even though the performance of the speech recognizer did not show a satisfactory results owing to the noisy environments.

Advances in technologies of networking, chip integration, and embedded system have enabled sensor networks applicable to a wide range of areas. Sharing some common characteristics, sensor networks are thus diversified in features depending on their applications. An intelligent and digital home can be one area to establish a particular feature of sensor network. This paper proposes a composite sensor and control network, and discusses its applying to the next generation intelligent and digital home. Development results of the network and a test-bed as a virtual test environment are also presented. The proposed network can not only be efficiently applying to achieve new home intelligences but also provide a sound solution to maintenance and operations of home network or devices.

The purpose of this study was to define the residents' current uses and satisfaction of a home automation system. The data were collected from 85 residents living in a selected intelligent apartment, from whom 72 were used for the final analysis. The results were as follows: 1) The educational background was the most significant variable affecting differences among the groups in terms of use of the home automation system. 2) Even though the over 50 years age group showed a tendency toward lower technology acceptance, their utilization rates of the home automation system were higher than those of the under 40 years age group. 3) The respondents with dual income showed higher rates of utilization of the home automation system than the single income group. 4) In spite of positive satisfaction level for the home automation system, many improvements were still requested.

In this paper, the vocabulary-independent continuous speech recognition system for speech control of intelligent home-network is presented. This study suggests a conversational scenario of continuous natural vocabulary based upon keywords for recognition on natural speech command, and a way of optimizing the recognition system by constructing a recognition system and database based upon keywords.

Smart home System is shirt-sleeve, the automatic control systems, computer network system and network communication technology in the integration of network intelligent home control system. Intelligent household will let users have a more convenient means to management of domestic equipment, for example, through the house, wireless remote control, touch screen phone and Internet or speech recognition control household devices, more can perform scene operation, make more equipment form linkage. In this paper, we propose the intelligent household various kinds of equipment within each other can communication, do not need to user command according to different state interactive operation, thus to bring the greatest degree of user efficient and convenient, comfortable and safe.

This paper describes the ubiquitous home network (uHome-net) testbed and LonRF intelligent devices based on LonWorks technology. These devices consist of Neuron Chip, RF transceiver, sensor, and other peripheral components. Using LonRF devices, a home control network can be simplified and most devices can be operated on LonWorks control network. Also, Indoor Positioning System (IPS) that can serve various location based services was implemented in uHome-net. Smart Badge of IPS, that is a special LonRF device, can measure the 3D location of objects in the indoor environment. In the uHome-net testbed, remote control service, cooking help service, wireless remote metering service, baby monitoring service and security ＆ fire prevention service were realized. This research shows the vision of the ubiquitous home network that will be emerged in the near future.

In this paper, we propose a Intelligent Service Reasoning (ISR) model using data mining in smart home environments. Our model creates a service tree used for service reasoning on the basis of C4.5 algorithm, one of decision tree algorithms, and reasons service that will be offered to users through quantitative weight estimation algorithm that uses quantitative characteristic rule and quantitative discriminant rule. The effectiveness in the performance of the developed model is validated through a smart home-network simulation.
