Smart Mat as part of a wireless sensor network system for Smart home services

Abstract

Smart home service market is growing as sensor network technologies are developed and as it makes our life pattern simpler, safer and richer. User identification technologies have been investigated to provide personalized service and floor sensing is the most reasonable way for it because it arises little privacy issues. However, there is an installation cost problem when it is installed on whole floor. In this paper, we propose a novel smart home sensor system with a foot mat-shaped user identification sensor.
