Application of Internet of Things in a Kitchen Fire Prevention System

Abstract

When using a gas stove to cook, the food or oil in the pot or pan may catch fire because of an excessively high temperature. In addition, people may be uncertain as to whether they have turned off the gas stove before leaving home and therefore feel compelled to return home to check. To solve these problems, this study has developed a smart kitchen fire prevention system that possesses the following devices and functions. (1) Sensors are installed above the stove top. When they detect flames, high temperature, or a gas leak, they immediately activate the gas shutoff device to turn off the gas supply. (2) The alarm produces a loud sound and flashes to warn the residents. (3) The Line reporting system sends Line messages to notify the residents and the community management center, and the main entrance door is automatically unlocked to allow relevant personnel to enter the house to deal with the accident. (4) An Internet protocol camera is installed in the kitchen to enable the residents to monitor the gas stove on their mobile phones. If they find the gas stove is still turned on, they can activate the gas shutoff device to shut off the gas supply from their phones. The system developed in this study can effectively reduce the loss that results from a kitchen fire.

Design of a Kitchen-Monitoring and Decision-Making System to Support AAL Applications

“…Moreover, commercial solutions cannot detect user interaction with the cooking process. Thus, the researcher community has made significant efforts to develop a more dedicated cooking-monitoring process [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ].…”

“…With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), more and more solutions rely on this technology. The authors in [ 27 ] used the Arduino platform for the development of a fire prevention system in the kitchen that relies on several types of sensors. It contains an alarm system that can send messages to relevant services, and a camera that can monitor the kitchen over a mobile phone.…”

“…Another very important aspect of the AAL system is related to the appropriate analysis of the data received from sensors through the decision-making process. Specifically, pure sensor data are sufficient only for triggering alarms for critical situations such as fire detection [ 11 , 14 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ], smoke [ 11 , 14 , 24 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ], and gas leakage [ 11 , 24 , 25 , 29 ]. To obtain information about daily user activity, more complex analysis and decision-making systems are required.…”
