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-b

3、ased methods. The terminal -based method employs a type of device that should be carried by the resident while the non-terminal-based method requires no such device.There is a growing interest in smart home as a way to o

4、ffer a convenient, comfortable, and safe residential environment. In general, the smart home aims to offer appropriate intelligent services to actively assist in the resident’s life such as housework, amusement, rest, an

5、d sleep. Hence, in order to enhance the resident’s convenience and safety, devices such as home appliances, multimedia appliances, and internet appliances should be connected via a home network system, as shown in Fig. 1

6、, and they should be controlled or monitored remotely using a television (TV) or personal digital assistant (PDA).Especially, attention has been focused on location-based services as a way to offer high-quality intellige

7、nt services, while considering human factors such as pattern of living, health, and feelings of a resident. That is, if the smart home can recognize the resident’s pattern of living or health, then home appliances should

8、 be able to anticipate the resident’s needs and offer appropriate intelligent service more actively. For example, in a passive service environment, the resident controls the operation of the HVAC (heating, ventilating, a

9、nd air conditioning) system, while the smart home would control the temperature and humidity of a room according to the resident’s condition. Various indoor location-aware systems have been developed to recognize the res

12、ta signals for phones, computers, TVs and audio components. It's ideal for new construction but not always easy to install in an existing home. Also, networking is limited to the reach of cables, jacks and plugs. ?Wi

13、reless networks provide the advantages of flexibility and mobility and virtually eliminate the wiring dilemmas often faced by existing homeowners. However, wireless networks tend to be less reliable and subject to interf

14、erence from other devices such as baby monitors and cordless phones. ?Power-line networks use a home's existing electrical lines to transmit data. They are relatively easy to set up and operate but carry the risk of

15、power surges, and an unencrypted household network may be accessible to neighbors sharing the same transformer. ?Phone-line networks use a home's telephone lines to carry multiple services. Typically, each service is

16、 assigned a unique frequency spectrum so they don't interfere with one another. Smart home technology may also enable you to dial in via a phone line to control specific home operating systems and/or be pre-set to di

18、 is that you do not need to become a technological expert in order to enhance your home's capabilities. A home technology integrator can design, implement, and tie together your home's various electronic systems.
