2、heir 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: terminal-based and non-terminal-based methods. The terminal -based method employs a type of device that should be
3、 carried by the resident while the non-terminal-based method requires no such device. This paper presents a novel non-terminal-based approach using an array of pyroelectric infrared sensors (PIR sensors) that can detect residents. The feasibility of the system is evaluated experimentally on a test b

INTRODUCTION There is a growing interest in smart home as a way to offer a convenient, comfortable, and safe residential environment 1, 2. In general, the smart home aims t
5、o 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, and internet appliances should be connected via a
6、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) 3, 4. 1 Fig. 1. Architecture of the home network system for smart home Especially, attention has been focused on location-based services as a way t
7、o offer high-quality intelligent services, while considering human factors such as pattern of living, health, and feelings of a resident 5-7. 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
8、offer appropriate intelligent 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 resident
9、s condition. Various indoor 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 pr
10、oximity methods 8. The triangulation method uses multiple distances from multiple known points. Examples include Active Badges 9, Active Bats 10, and Easy Living 11, which use infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and vision sensors, respectively. The scene analysis method examines a view from a par
11、ticular vantage point. Representative examples of the scene analysis method are MotionStar 12, which uses a DC magnetic tracker, and RADAR 13, 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 proximi
12、ty method is Smart Floor 14, which uses pressure 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 per
13、ceive the location of a device carried by the resident, such as an infrared transceiver or radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. Therefore, 2 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 S
14、mart Floor can find the residents location without such devices. However, Easy Living can be regarded to invade the residents privacy while the Smart Floor has difficulty with extendibility and maintenance. This paper presents a non-terminal based location-aware system that uses an array of pyroelec
15、tric infrared (PIR) sensors 15, 16. The PIR sensors on the ceiling detect the presence of a resident and are laid out so that detection areas of adjacent sensors overlap. By combining the outputs of multiple PIR sensors, the system is able to locate a resident with a reasonable degree of accuracy. T
16、his system has inherent advantage of non-terminal based methods while avoiding privacy and extendibility, maintenance issues. In order to demonstrate its efficacy, an experimental test bed has been constructed, and the proposed system has been evaluated experimentally under various experimental cond
17、itions. This paper is organized into four sections, including this introduction. Section II presents the architecture of the PIR sensor-based indoor location-aware system (PILAS), and the location-recognition algorithm. Section III describes a resident-detection method using PIR sensors, and evaluat
18、es the performance of the system under various conditions using an experimental test bed. Finally, a summary and the conclusions are presented in Section IV. II. ARCHITECTURE OF THE PIR SENSOR-BASED INDOOR LOCATION-AWARE SYSTEM A. Framework of the smart home Given the indoor environment of the smart
19、 home, an indoor location-aware system must satisfy the following requirements. First, the location-aware system should be implemented at a relatively low cost because many sensors have to be installed in rooms of different sizes to detect the resident in the smart home. Second, sensor installation
20、must be flexible because the shape of each room is different and there are obstacles such as home appliances and furniture, which prevent the normal operation of sensors. The third requirement is that the sensors for the location-aware system have to be robust to noise, and should not be affected by
21、 their surroundings. This is because the smart home can make use of various wireless communication methods such as wireless LAN or radio-frequency (RF) systems, which produce electromagnetic noise, or there may be significant changes in light or temperature that can affect sensor performance. Finall
22、y, it is desirable that the systems accuracy is adjustable according to room types. Among many systems that satisfy the requirement, the PIR sensor-based system has not attracted much attention even though the system has several advantages. The PIR sensors,which 3 have been used to turn on a light w
23、hen it detects human movement, are less expensive than many other sensors. In addition, because PIR sensors detect the infrared wavelengthemitted from humans between 9.410.4 m, they are reasonably robust to their surroundings, in terms of temperature, humidity, and electromagnetic noise. Moreover, i
24、t ispossible to control the location accuracy of the system by adjusting the sensing radius of a PIR sensor, and PIR sensors are easily installed on the ceiling, where they are not affected by the structure of a room or any obstacles. Figure 2 shows the framework for the PILAS in a smart home that o
25、ffers location-based intelligent services to a resident. Within this framework, various devices are connected via a home network system, including PIR sensors, room terminals, a smart home server, and home appliances. Here, each room is regarded as a cell, and the appropriate number of PIR sensors i
26、s installed on the ceiling of each cell to provide sufficient location accuracy for the location-based services. Each PIR sensor attempts to detect the resident at a constant period, and transmits its sensing information to a room terminal via the home network system. Fig. 2. Framework of smart home
27、 for the PILAS. Consequently, the room terminal recognizes the residents location by integrating the sensor information received from all of the sensors belonging to one cell, and transmits the residents location to the smart home server that controls the home appliances to offer location-based inte
28、lligent services to the resident. 4 Within this framework, the smart home server has the following functions. 1) The virtual map generator makes a virtual map of the smart home (generating a virtual map), and writes the location information of the resident, which is received from a room terminal, on
29、 the virtual map (writing the residents location). Then, it makes a moving trajectory of the resident by connecting the successive locations of the resident (tracking the residents movement). 2) The home appliance controller transmits control commands to home appliances via the home network system t
30、o provide intelligent services to the resident. 3) The moving pattern predictor saves the current movement trajectory of the resident, the current action of home appliances, and parameters reflecting the current home environment such as the time, temperature, humidity, and illumination. After storin
31、g sufficient information, it may be possible to offer human-oriented intelligent services in which the home appliances spontaneously provide services to satisfy human needs. For example, if the smart home server “knows” that the resident normally wakes up at 7:00 A.M. and takes a shower, it may be p
32、ossible to turn on the lamps and some music. In addition, the temperature of the shower water can be set automatically for the resident. B. Location-recognition algorithm In order to determine the location of a resident within a room, an array of PIR sensors are used as shown in Fig. 3. In the figur
33、e, the sensing area of each PIR sensor is shown as a circle, and the sensing areas of two or more sensors overlap. Consequently, when a resident enters one of the sensing areas, the system decides whether he/she belongs to any sensing area by integrating the sensing information collected from all of
34、 the PIR sensors in the room. For example, when a resident enters the sensing area B, sensors a and b output ON signals, while sensor c outputs OFF signal. After collecting outputs, the algorithm can infer that the resident belongs to the sensing area B. According to the number of sensors and the ar
35、rangement of the sensors signaling ON, the residents location is deter-mined in the following manner. First, if only one sensor outputs ON signal, the resident is regarded to be at the center of the sensing area of the corresponding sensor. If the outputs of two adjacent sensors are ON, the resident
36、s location is assumed to be at the point midway between the two sensors. Finally, if three or more sensors signal ON, the resident is located at the centroid of the centers of the corresponding sensors. For example, it is assumed that the resident is located at point 1 in the figure when only sensor
37、 a signals ON, while the resident is located at point 2 when sensors a and b both output ON signals. The location accuracy of this system can be defined the maximum distance between the estimated points and the resident. For example, when a resident enters sensing area A, the resident is assumed to
38、be at point 1. On the assumption that a resident can be represented by a point and the radius of the sensing area of a PIR sensor is 1 m, we know that the location 5 accuracy is 1 m because the maximum error occurs when the resident is on the boundary of sensing area A. Alternatively, when the resid
39、ent is in sensing area B, the resident is assumed to be at point 2, and the maximum location error occurs when the resident is actually at point 3. In this case, the error is 3 / 2 m which is the distance between points 2 and 3. Therefore, the location accuracy of the total system shown in Fig. 3 ca
40、n be regarded as 1 m, which is the maximum value of the location accuracy of each area. Since the number of sensors and the size of their sensing areas determine the location accuracy of the PILAS, it is necessary to arrange the PIR sensors properly to guarantee the specified system accuracy. Fig. 3
41、. The location-recognition algorithm for PIR sensors. In order to determine the residents location precisely and increase the accuracy of the system, it is desirable to have more sensing areas with given number of sensors and to have sensing areas of similar size. Fig. 4 shows some examples of senso
42、r arrangements and sensing areas. Fig. 4(a) and 4(b) show the arrangements with nine sensors that produce 40 and 21 sensing areas, respectively. The arrangement in Fig. 4(a) is better than Fig. 4(b) in terms if the number of sensing areas. However, the arrangement in Fig. 4(a) has some areas where a
43、 resident can not be detected and lower location accuracy than that in Fig. 4(b). Fig. 4(c) shows an arrangement with twelve sensors that five 28 sensing areas without any blind spots. 6 Fig. 4. Location accuracy according to the sensor arrangement of PIR sensors. (a) 40 sensing areas. (b) 21 sensin
44、g areas. (c) 28 sensing areas with twelve sensors. When PIR sensors are installed around the edge of a room, as shown in Fig. 4(c), it sometimes may give awkward results. One example is shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 5(a) shows the path of a resident. If we mark the estimated points by using the sensor locat
45、ion or the midpoint of adjacent sensors, it will be a zigzagging patterns as shown in Fig. 5(b). In order to alleviate this, we may regard the sensors on the edges to be located a little inwards, which give the result shown in Fig. 5(c). 7 Fig. 5.

Resident-detection method using PIR sensors Since the PILAS recognizes the residents location by combining outputs from a
47、ll the sensors belonging to one cell, determining whether a single sensor is ON or OFF directly influences location accuracy. In general, because the ON/OFF values can be determined by comparing a predefined threshold and the digitized sensor output acquired by sampling the analog signal from a PIR
48、sensor, it is necessary to choose an appropriate signal level for the threshold. For example, Smart Floor, which is another non-terminal method, can recognize a residents location exactly by comparing the appropriate threshold and a sensor value, because a pressure sensor outputs a constant voltage
49、based on the residents weight when he remains at a specific point. However, because a PIR sensor measures the variation in the infrared signal produced by a moving human body, its output is in analog form, as shown in Fig. 6. That is, as the variation in the infrared radiation from a resident increases when a resident enters a sensing area, the PIR sensor outputs 8 an increasing voltage. Conversely, the voltage decreases as th
