Context-Aware Discovery of Human Frequent Behaviours through Sensor Information Interpretation
Asier Aztiria, Juan Carlos Augusto · IGI Global eBooks · 2013
The ability of discovering frequent behaviours of the users allows an environment to act intelligently, for example automating some devices’ activation. Moreover, such frequent behaviours could be used to understand and detect bad or unhealthy habits. Such a discovering process must be as unobtrusive and transparent as possible. In that sense, the ability of inferring interesting information from sensors installed in the environment plays an essential role in order to provide the discovering process with meaningful data. The importance of this system is clear due to the fact the process of discovering frequent behaviours will totally depend upon the actions/activities identified by such a system. This development reinforces the link between context-awareness and human behaviour understanding as it can perceive a current situation, compare it to typical behaviour, and differentiate between the two.
