Abstract
Ambient intelligence is a system technology which embeds sensors, computers, and actuators into the environment without making the user aware. The system estimates the situation and behavior of the user in the environment and provides useful support to the user through interaction with the system. Ambient intelligence can be applied to various environments, one of which is considered a house environment called smart home. This report introduces overseas and Japan commercialization and research cases on smart home technology. Smart home technology is evolving rapidly every year due to the miniaturization, embedding, and high-speed processing of computers and sensors. Furthermore, the technology is considered an example familiar to us as a concrete one of SoS, System of Systems. Here is a follow-up to the similar article published in 2021.
