Objetivo
This is a system integration project, which is concerned with the adaptation and demonstration of a smart house for elderly and disabled people. An adaptable smarter home offers substantial benefits for elderly and disabled people, through the provision of support services and different devices in their homes adapted for use with telecommunications and internal buses to control their appliances and environment. These people often have a need to minimise, movement about the home and have difficulty in using the many variations of controls used on home equipment.
The project will provide an analysis of the user's needs with regards to their interface with the environment, the construction of this interface and its validation in three demonstrators. These will be situated in Spain, Germany and Finland and will use a variety of equipment adapted to meet the needs of elderly and visually impaired people. This equipment will be connected together in each demonstrator by a bus and controlled through various central devices in the home, or remotely over the Cable TV and Public Switched network. Support service providers can be in immediate contact, by use of videotelephony, with the home based person and attend to their needs.
This Systems Integration Project brings together Rehabilitation Institutes (RNIB & NAWH), Human Factors groups (HFS and HUSAT), Welfare Administration Organisations (NAWH), Telecommunication Equipment Manufacturers (SEL & Philips & SERPE), Software and Systems Houses (BioIngenieria & Pluricom) and PTTs (CNET & CSELT). Architects are represented indirectly by the Welfare administration (NAWH/Technical section) and technological support is from the universities of Zaragoza and Aveiro and Technical Research Institute of Finland (VTT).
Work is organised into 6 working packages (WP):
WP 1 concentrates on the consolidation of the usability, utility and affordability aspects of the requirements of elderly and visually impaired users that would satisfy the needs of the potential users of the such systems.
WP 2 identifies the inter-working possibilities of the technologies for adaptable smarter homes with special attention to the use, if practical, of the ESPRIT Home Bus.
WP 3 scopes these requirements further within the constraints of achievable modifications to the appliances. A common approach is adopted in each of the devices of the demonstrators. Planning for integration of the devices is started and the viability of each device is confirmed and the evaluation criteria for assessing the demonstrators is established.
WP 4 covers the engineering of the devices and the bus and network the integration of the equipment.
WP 5 is the installation and operation of the demonstrators; assessing the appeal and usability of each device, the systems used and transmission technologies.
WP 6 completes the user requirements for Adaptable Smarter Homes for elderly and disabled people (from WP1), collates this with the technological possibilities (from WP2) and the experiences from the demonstrators (from WP5) to identify the issues involved for TIDE. The results of the pilot will allow:
- SEL to use the results of this project to have products better adapted to the needs of the elderly people;
- Philips to make additions to their range of cordless telephones;
- CNET and SERPE, to produce Minitel supplementary services and the speech control devices in the form of the COVOTEL products for the visually as well as the mobility impaired user;
- Pluricom to develop applications or products including: a software package for house-monitoring, and for in-House network applications and management;
- the University of Aveiro to push the Portuguese industry into the development of products and systems for the elderly and disabled people, including: Communication networks for smart in- house environments adapted to the particular requirements of disabled and elderly people, wireless terminals for control and monitoring of the house environment and wireless alarm systems for disabled and elderly people;
- BioIngenieria Aragonesa to exploit the results in the industrial application;
- RNIB to market any special adaptations for visually disabled persons;
- CSELT to exploit the market for speech output devices for the visually impaired persons; . SP 1 - HFS to utilise the technology to increase the quality of life for elderly and handicapped people;
- NAWH and VTT to include the adaptability aspects in the Smart Home projects in Finland including areas for remote telecommunications and remote work.
