Abstract

In this paper, we present a daily activity monitoring system by using a wireless sensor network. The proposed system is installed in glove for activity monitoring. The RFID reader, to send data by using sensor network platform and RFID tag are small size, the shape of quadrangle, and operate in the frequency of 13.56 MHz. The sensor node can read RFID tags on the various objects used in daily living such as furniture, medicines, and kitchenwares. The sensor node reads the data of RFID tags, it transmits wireless packets to the sink node. The sink node sends the received packet immediately to a server system. The data from each RFID system is collected into a database, and then the data are processed to visualize the measurement of daily living activities of users. We provide a web-based monitoring system, and can see the number of RFID tag readings per day as bar charts. The result of experiments demonstrates that the way we propose can help to check the situation of life for people who live alone.

본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크를 이용한 일상생활 모니터링 시스템을 제안한다. 시스템은 활동 모니터리을 위해 장갑 형태로 구성되며, RFID 리더기는 센서 네트워크 기반으로 데이터를 전송하며, RFID 태그는 13.56MHz에서 동작하고, 사각형의 작은 사이즈로 구성된다. 센서 노드는 기구나 약병, 주방용품 등의 다양한 일상생활 물체에 부착된 RFID 태그를 읽는다. 센서 노드는 무선 패킷을 싱크노드로 전송하고, 싱크노드는 수신된 패킷을 서버로 전달한다. RFID 시스템에서 전달된 데이터는 데이터베이스에 저장되고, 사용자의 일상생활 활동정보를 표시한다. 웹기반의 모니터링 시스템을 제공하고, RFID 태그의 회수를 하루단위로 막대 차트로 확인할 수 있다. 실험을 통해서 제안한 방식이 노약자의 행동이나 생활 습관 등을 감지하고 인식할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
