Abstract

Ambient intelligence is a system technology that 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 a smart home. This report introduces overseas and Japan commercialization and research cases on smart home technology.
