2、e technology. Smart home is expected to offer various intelligent services by recognizing residents along with their life style and feelings. One of the key issues for realizing the smart home is how to detect the locations of residents. Currently, the research effort is focused on two approaches: t

3、erminal-based and non-terminal-based methods. The terminal -based method employs a type of device that should be carried by the resident while the non-terminal-based method requires no such device.There is a growing interest in smart home as a way to offer a convenient, comfortable, and safe residen

4、tial environment. In general, the smart home aims to offer appropriate intelligent services to actively assist in the residents life such as housework, amusement, rest, and sleep. Hence, in order to enhance the residents convenience and safety, devices such as home appliances, multimedia appliances,

5、 and internet appliances should be connected via a home network system, as shown in Fig. 1, and they should be controlled or monitored remotely using a television (TV) or personal digital assistant (PDA).Especially, attention has been focused on location-based services as a way to offer high-quality

6、 intelligent services, while considering human factors such as pattern of living, health, and feelings of a resident. That is, if the smart home can recognize the residents pattern of living or health, then home appliances should be able to anticipate the residents needs and offer appropriate intell

7、igent service more actively. For example, in a passive service environment, the resident controls the operation of the HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air conditioning) system, while the smart home would control the temperature and humidity of a room according to the residents condition. Various ind

8、oor location-aware systems have been developed to recognize the residents location in the smart home or smart office. In general, indoor location-aware systems have been classified into three types according to the measurement technology: triangulation, scene analysis, and proximity methods 8. The t

9、riangulation method uses multiple distances from multiple known points. Examples include Active Badges, Active Bats, and Easy Living, which use infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and vision sensors, respectively. The scene analysis method examines a view from a particular vantage point. Represent

10、ative examples of the scene analysis method are MotionStar, which uses a DC magnetic tracker, and RADAR, which uses IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (LAN). Finally, the proximity method measures nearness to a known set of points. An example of the proximity method is Smart Floor, which uses p

11、ressure sensors.Alternatively, indoor location-aware systems can be classified according to the need for a terminal that should be carried by the resident. Terminal-based methods, such as Active Bats, do not recognize the residents location directly, but perceive the location of a device carried by

12、the resident, such as an infrared transceiver or radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. Therefore, it is impossible to recognize the residents location if he or she is not carrying the device. In contrast, non-terminal methods such as Easy Living and Smart Floor can find the residents location w

13、ithout such devices. However, Easy Living can be regarded to invade the residents privacy while the Smart Floor has difficulty with extendibility and maintenance. Home automation has come a long way from the manual timer hooked up to the living room light. Todays smart home automatically regulates h

14、eat, air and light, distributes audio and video around the house, controls access to your home and can even remind you to exercise! New technologies and product advances have made home technology systems more affordable than ever and have brought home systems integration into the mainstream. Accordi

15、ng to a study done in 2004 by the National Association of Home Builders Research Center and the Consumer Electronics Association, nearly half of all new homes being built in the U.S. are now using structured copper smart wiring to enable the installation of new home technology systems. How it Works

16、There are four main types of networks you can install in your home to support the available new technology. Each has its advantages and disadvantages depending on whether you are wiring a new home or upgrading an existing home. Structured wiring involves running specialized high performance cabling

17、throughout your home. It provides a highly reliable and secure network that distributes data signals for phones, computers, TVs and audio components. Its ideal for new construction but not always easy to install in an existing home. Also, networking is limited to the reach of cables, jacks and plugs

18、. Wireless networks provide the advantages of flexibility and mobility and virtually eliminate the wiring dilemmas often faced by existing homeowners. However, wireless networks tend to be less reliable and subject to interference from other devices such as baby monitors and cordless phones. Power-l

19、ine networks use a homes existing electrical lines to transmit data. They are relatively easy to set up and operate but carry the risk of power surges, and an unencrypted household network may be accessible to neighbors sharing the same transformer. Phone-line networks use a homes telephone lines to

20、 carry multiple services. Typically, each service is assigned a unique frequency spectrum so they dont interfere with one another. Smart home technology may also enable you to dial in via a phone line to control specific home operating systems and/or be pre-set to dial out to a monitoring service in

21、 the case of a fire or break-in. While the possibilities for home automation are only limited by your imagination, the choices facing the average homeowner may seem daunting. The good news is that you do not need to become a technological expert in order to enhance your homes capabilities. A home te

These include: Entertainment: You may have been impressed by a friends home theatre setup one night, when they popped a movie in their DVD player and gave you the large screen, surround sound experienc

23、e. But why not take this experience further? Using fairly simple automation technology, you could push a movie button on a touch pad in your family room. The lights would dim, the blinds would close, the popcorn maker would spring into action, the fridge would check for adequate ice levels for your

24、soda, and your calls would be automatically forwarded straight to your answering service. With a little creativity and planning, all these events can be achieved using a home network. It would be equally simple, using motion sensors and your stereo system, to play music every time you enter a room i

25、n your home - something upbeat, perhaps, for the home gym, maybe classical music for your study - the possibilities are endless. Or you could sit in your living room and select the music you want to listen to via on-screen menus that are displayed on your TV. You could even monitor your childrens te

26、levision and video-game habits, when youre not at home by programming the network to alert your cell phone if your children watch too much television or inappropriate programming. Or you can simply program the TV or gaming console to shut off after a certain amount of time. Security: Using smart hom

27、e automation technology, you can program your lights to simulate normal in-home activity when youre away. For example, some time around your regular bedtime, your bedroom lights and TV will turn on while the rest of the house will be darkened. And this lighting routine can be set up to change on the

28、 weekend. To protect against break-ins, you can position web cams at home entrances and install an alarm system that uses heat and motion sensors to alert you and a remote security company in the case of an intruder. In the case of fire, your smoke detector can be wired to sound not just an alarm bu

29、t also to send a signal to your air-conditioning system fans to shut down, alert you and specified contacts and illuminate an evacuation route throughout the house. Energy: Energy savings can be realized by automating thermostats, lights and other environmental systems such as garden sprinklers and

30、fountains. Integrating all of these into one environmental system can help ensure a minimum waste of energy in your home. For example, on a hot, sunny day, weather sensors can activate blind and drapery controls to shade your home, and ensure that your garden receives adequate irrigation at the righ

31、t time of day. Motion and occupancy sensors can activate heat and lighting controls as you enter and exit rooms. Todays new smart IR sensors represent a union of two rapidly evolving sciences that combine IR temperature measurement with high-speed digital technologies usually associated with the com

32、puter. These instruments are called smart sensors because they incorporate microprocessors programmed to act as transceivers for bidirectional, serial communications between sensors on the manufacturing floor and computers in the control room (see Photo 1). And because the circuitry is smaller, the

33、sensors are smaller, simplifying installation in tight or awkward areas. Integrating smart sensors into new or existing process control systems offers an immediate advantage to process control engineers in terms of providing a new level of sophistication in temperature monitoring and control. When y

34、ou leave for work in the morning, your house could check for and turn off unnecessary energy consumers such as radios, TVs, stoves and irons (a nice safety feature). On your way home, you could use your cell phone or computer to change the temperature in your home, turn on lights, turn on the radian

Appliances: From toasters to fridges to picture frames, the possibilities for networking computerized household appliances are limited only by your imagination and budget. Your refrigerator can keep trac

36、k of food expiration dates and act as a family message center via a built-in screen. Coffee makers and other small appliances (such as toasters) can be activated remotely or as part of a sequence of events. You can even imitate Bill Gates and install framed electronic artwork that changes depending

37、on the preference of the person who enters a room, or purchase Internet-connected picture frames that retrieve images from a gallery supplied by your friends and family for a constantly updated family portrait wall. The key to making your home more comfortable, enjoyable and safe through home automa

38、tion is to follow three essential steps: Plan: Discuss automation needs and wants with your family members so you can plan ahead. Take into consideration your homes layout in terms of traffic and furniture. Consult: Talk to as many people as possible to get ideas and learn about their experiences wi

39、th home automation; what worked, what didnt, what do they wish they had done differently? Decide: What do you definitely want to be able to do? What is optional? Will you install the network yourself or leave it to a professional? What kind of network and what types of technology best suit your need

40、s? Home automation, from security systems to intelligent appliances, is becoming an accessible reality. With some careful planning and a little help, you too can enjoy the benefits of a smart homeIntelligent Homes, Building Management Systems (BMS) encompasses an enormous variety of technologies, ac

The potential within these concepts and the surrounding technology

43、 is vast, and our lives are changing from the effects of Intelligent Buildings developments on our living and working environments. The impact on facilities planning and facilities management is also potentially immense. Smart home example At 7:30am and you awake to the sound of your favourite cd pl

46、务劳动，娱乐，休息和睡眠。因此，为了提高住户的便捷和安全，像家用电器，多媒体设备和互联网设备应通过家庭网络系统连接在一起。并且它们应通过电视或个人数字助理（PDA）来控制或远程监控。尤其要注意的是，作为一种提供高质量的智能服务，目标应集中于定位服务，同时考虑人为因素，比如住户的生活方式，健康状况和居住感受。也就是说，如果智能家居能识别住户的生活方式或健康状况，那么家用电器应该能预见住户的需要，并能更主动的提供适合的智能服务。例如，在一个被动的服务环境下，需要住户控制供热通风与空气调节系统（供暖，通风和空调），而智能家居将根据住户情况自动调节房间的温湿度。智能家居或智能办公室的各种室内感应定位系

47、统的已经研发到能够识别住户的位置。一般来说，室内定位感应系统根据测量技术分为三种类型：三角测量，场景分析和接近方法。三角测量法是通过多个已知点来计算位置距离。运用三角测量法的例子包括Active Badges，Active Bats和Easy Living，它们分别运用了红外传感器，超声波传感器和视觉传感器来实现的。场景解析法是检测一个场景内的特定着眼点。场景解析法的典型例子是使用直流磁力跟踪器的MotiveStar，和使用无线局域网络LAN标准IEEE 802,11的RADAR。接近法则是以一组已知点中最接近的点近似作为定位点。接近法的例子有使用压力传感器的Smart Floor。另外，室内

48、感应定位系统可以根据是否需要住户随身携带一种设备来分类。终端方式，例如Active Bats，不需要直接找到住户位置，但是可以感应到住户随身携带的设备位置，例如红外收发器或者射频识别技术（RFID）标签。因此，如果住户没有随声携带终端设备，那就不可能找到他。相反的，非终端方式如Easy Living和Smart Floor则不需要这种设备就能找到住户位置。然而，人们认为Easy Living侵犯了住户隐私，Smart Floor则是扩展和维护都比较困难。家庭自动化已经从挂接到客厅灯的手动计时很长的路要走。 Todays smart home automatically regulates heat, air and light, distributes audio and video around the house, controls access to your home and can even remind you to exercise!今天的“智能”家庭自动调节热量，空气，光线，音频和
