One of the words frequently mentioned in our society today is the smart machine. Smart machines are machines that contain smart or intelligent functions. These smart machines have recently been applied in our home environment. These are phenomena that occur as a result of smart home. In a smart home environment, smart speakers have moved away from traditional music playback functions and are now increasingly serving as interfaces to control devices, the various components of a smart home. In this study, the technology trends of domestic and foreign smart speaker market are examined, problems of current products are analyzed, and necessary core technologies are described. In the domestic smart speaker market, SKT and KT are leading the related industries, while major IT companies such as Amazon, Google and Apple are focusing on launching related products and technology development.

The ubiquitous smart home is the home of the future that takes advantage of context information from the human and the home environment and provides an automatic home service for the human. Human location and motion are the most important contexts in the ubiquitous smart home. We present a real-time human tracker that predicts human location and motion for the ubiquitous smart home. We used four network cameras for real-time human tracking. This paper explains the real-time human tracker's architecture, and presents an algorithm with the details of two functions (prediction of human location and motion) in the real-time human tracker. The human location uses three kinds of background images (IMAGE1: empty room image, IMAGE2: image with furniture and home appliances in the home, IMAGE3: image with IMAGE2 and the human). The real-time human tracker decides whether the human is included with which furniture (or home appliance) through an analysis of three images, and predicts human motion using a support vector machine. A performance experiment of the human's location, which uses three images, took an average of 0.037 seconds. The SVM's feature of human's motion recognition is decided from pixel number by array line of the moving object. We evaluated each motion 1000 times. The average accuracy of all the motions was found to be 86.5%.

Smart sensing plays a key role in a variety of IoT applications, and its importance is growing more and more together with the development of artificial intelligence. Therefore the importance of smart sensors cannot be overemphasized. However, most studies related to smart sensors have been focusing on specific application purposes, for example, security, energy saving, monitoring, and there are not much effort on researches on how to efficiently configure various types of smart sensors to be needed in the future. In this paper, a component-based framework with hierarchical structure for efficient construction of smart sensor is proposed and its application to smart home is designed and implemented. The proposed method shows that various types of smart sensors to be appeared in the near future can be configured through the design and development of necessary components within the proposed software framework. In addition, since it has a layered architecture, the configuration of the smart sensor can be expanded by inserting the internal or external layers. In particular, it is possible to independently design the internal and external modules when designing an IoT application service through connection with the external device layer. A small-scale smart home system is designed and implemented using the proposed method, and a home cloud operating as an external layer, is further designed to accommodate and manage multiple smart homes. By developing and thus adding the components of each layer, it will be possible to efficiently extend the range of applications such as smart cars, smart buildings, smart factories an so on.

The importance of personalized services has been attracted in smart home environments according to the development of ubiquitous computering. In this paper, we proposed the smart home personalized service system based on context information using the speech recognition. The proposed service consists of an OSGi framework based service mobile manager, service manager, voice recognition manager, and location manager. Also, this study defines the smart home space and configures the commands of units, sensor information, and user information that are largely used in the defined space as context information. In particular, this service identifies users who exist in the same space that shows a difficulty in the identification using RFID through the training model and pattern matching in voice recognition and supports the personalized service of smart home applications. In the results of the experiment, it was verified that the OSGi based automated and personalized service can be achieved through verifying users in the same space.

Wheelchair users found difficulties in living independently in their houses due to the lack of accessibility. The state of the art smart home technology may enable wheelchair users to live independently. In this study, we built a smart home, and tested its usability with three community dwelling wheelchair users. Three evaluation methods such as scenario-based test, K-IADL(Korea instrumental activity of daily living) test, and in-depth interview were used. All three users responded positively for using the smart home. Through this study, we also found several necessary amendments in building smart homes for wheelchair users.

This paper introduces the implementation of the AWS IoT service and MQTT based smart home system. The smart home system implemented in this study can monitor temperature and humidity, and can manually adjust the air conditioner heating, and can check the visitors with the camera and remotely control the door lock. The implemented smart home system controls door locks, heating and air conditioners using Arduino, and manages the collected data and control information using the AWS IoT service. In this study, the Android app has been developed to allow users to control IoT devices remotely, and the MQTT protocol was used for data communication and control between the app and the AWS IoT server and Arduino. The implemented smart home system has been implemented based on AWS IoT service, which has scalability to add sensors and devices.

The study applied to a smart technology for every filed in the various countries of world is actively progressing. In the field of construction, a home-network market based on the smart technology is getting to occupy a position as a social issue. and lots of construction companies are taking part in the home-network market to take possession of a market and is investing for a marketing and a technical study in abundance. as a result, the concern for Household Housing of a future and for how to apply the material technology is getting increase. In this study, it has a understanding of such a necessity and suggests the research of the room-space Module to apply the smart technology and a prototype of a house as a building device. and it predicts not only the development of the technology but also about how to change the home-space that we live.
