Much work has been done in the field, but most of these solutions are just based on home gateway, leaving much to be improved. One of its defects is the relatively high energy consuming and its radiation, and the other is that it is not available to the old home appliances which fail to access the internet. Full use of the low energy consuming characteristic of the Zigbee wireless sensor network, a completely new smart home solution is put forward in this paper. Without need of a home gateway and any modification for the currently used family appliances, the method uses the Zigbee coordinator as the central controller and the controllers of appliances as the end devices of Zigbee. It can realize a comfortable and smart home. Experiments show that the scheme proposed is feasible and it will be no doubt to be able to improve the quality of people＇s daily life.展开更多

The interoperability of heterogeneous devices and flexibility of devices＇ usage are two key problems that challenge the implementation of smart home. To deal with these two issues, this paper proposes an event-driven service oriented architecture using device profile for web services （DPWS）. DPWS inherits the advantages of the traditional web services in achieving interoperability without dependence on platform, while improving service discovery and security as well as being optimized for deploying on resource constrained devices. By providing a visual interface for describing a service workflow （SW）, the user can easily customize the actions of devices by services composition. Devices automatically cooperate without user＇s intervention to complete required business logic. This is achieved by fully exploiting the eventing capabilities on DPWS enabled home devices. Finally, a home theater scenario is given to illustrate the event driven mechanism for the SW in the proposed smart home framework.展开更多

However,there are some limitations which make the current smart home system impractical,such as high cost,complex installation,poor flexibility and maintainability. In this paper,a novel plug-configure-play ZigB ee-based smart home system is proposed to provide repeatable use and improve flexibility and maintainability with the reductions of cost and complexity,which can be customized and reconfigured without redevelopment. In this system,new sensors can be flexibly added through different interfaces on the ZigB ee nodes and the sensor network layer is transparent to the users. Therefore,by using our method,users can customize and use the smart home system simply by configuring the sensors information via software on the application layer.展开更多

One of its potential deployments is in the form of smart home and ambient assisted living （SHAAL）to measure patients or elderly physiological signals, control home appliances, and monitor home. This paper focuses on the development of a wireless sensor node platform for SHAAL application over WSN which complies with the IEEE 802.15.4 standard and operates in 2.4 GHz ISM （industrial, scientific, and medical） band. The initial stage of SHAAL application development is the design of the wireless sensor node named TelG mote. The main features of TelG mote contributing to the green communications include low power consumption, wearable, flexible, user-friendly, and small sizes. It is then embedded with a self-built operating system named WiseOS to support customized operation. The node can achieve a packet reception rate （PRR） above 80% for a distance of up to 8 m. The designed TelG mote is also comparable with the existing wireless sensor nodes available in the market.展开更多

In this system,new sensors can be flexibly added through different interfaces on the ZigB ee nodes and the sensor network layer is transparent to the users. Therefore,by using our method,users can customize and use the smart home system simply by configuring the sensors information via software on the application layer.
文摘Anomaly detection in smart homes provides support to enhance the health and safety of people who live alone.Compared to the previous studies done on this topic,less attention has been given to hybrid methods.This paper presents a two-steps hybrid probabilistic anomaly detection model in the smart home.First,it employs various algorithms with different characteristics to detect anomalies from sensory data.Then,it aggregates their results using a Bayesian network.In this Bayesian network,abnormal events are detected through calculating the probability of abnormality given anomaly detection results of base methods.Experimental evaluation of a real dataset indicates the effectiveness of the proposed method by reducing false positives and increasing true positives.

文摘The wireless sensor network （WSN） consists of sensor nodes that interact with each other to collectively monitor environmental or physical conditions at different locations for the intended users. One of its potential deployments is in the form of smart home and ambient assisted living （SHAAL）to measure patients or elderly physiological signals, control home appliances, and monitor home. This paper focuses on the development of a wireless sensor node platform for SHAAL application over WSN which complies with the IEEE 802.15.4 standard and operates in 2.4 GHz ISM （industrial, scientific, and medical） band. The initial stage of SHAAL application development is the design of the wireless sensor node named TelG mote. The main features of TelG mote contributing to the green communications include low power consumption, wearable, flexible, user-friendly, and small sizes. It is then embedded with a self-built operating system named WiseOS to support customized operation. The node can achieve a packet reception rate （PRR） above 80% for a distance of up to 8 m. The designed TelG mote is also comparable with the existing wireless sensor nodes available in the market.

文摘The recent surge in development of smart homes and smart cities can be observed in many developed countries.While the idea to control devices that are in home(embedded with the Internet of Things(IoT)smart devices)by the user who is outside the home might sound fancy,but it comes with a lot of potential threats.There can be many attackers who will be trying to take advantage of this.So,there is a need for designing a secure scheme whichwill be able to distinguish among genuine/authorized users of the system and attackers.And knowing about the details of when and what IoT devices are used by the user,the attacker can trace the daily activities of user and can plan an attack accordingly.Thus,the designed security scheme should guarantee confidentiality,anonymity and un-traceability.Most of the schemes proposed in the literature are either non-blockchain based which involves inherent problems of storing data in a single-server or assuming weaker attack models.In this work,we propose a novel scheme based on blockchain technology,assuming a stronger Canetti and Krawczyk(CK)-threat model.Through the formal and informal security,and comparative analysis,we show that the proposed scheme provides a superior security and more functionality features,with less communication cost and comparable computational cost as compared to other competent schemes.Moreover,the blockchain based simulation study on the proposed scheme has been conducted to show its feasibility in real-life application.
