“…Smart homes as intelligent and context-aware learning systems remove the need for any active user involvement at all by automating functions according to users' revealed habits (e.g. [24,52,67]). These visions of intelligent homes are countered by the complexity, potential inflexibility and poor manageability of fully automated smart homes that are cited as key barriers to their adoption [8,12].…”

Published research on smart homes and their users is growing exponentially, yet a clear understanding of who these users are and how they might use smart home technologies is missing from a field being overwhelmingly pushed by technology developers. Through a systematic analysis of peer-reviewed literature on smart homes and their users, this paper takes stock of the dominant research themes and the linkages and disconnects between them. Key findings within each of nine themes are analysed, grouped into three: (1) views of the smart home-functional, instrumental, socio-technical; (2) users and the use of the smart home-prospective users, interactions and decisions, using technologies in the home; and (3) challenges for realising the smart home-hardware and software, design, domestication. These themes are integrated into an organising framework for future research that identifies the presence or absence of cross-cutting relationships between different understandings of smart homes and their users. The usefulness of the organising framework is illustrated in relation to two major concernsprivacy and control-that have been narrowly interpreted to date, precluding deeper insights and potential solutions. Future research on smart homes and their users can benefit by exploring and developing cross-cutting relationships between the research themes identified.

“…A smart home (SH) is a home with ubiquitous technologies that include sensors and wireless networks powered by intelligent computation (Bull, Limb, & Rayne, 2004;Saizmaa & Kim, 2008). Such a home could include a singular intelligent device, which opens doors, controls room temperatures, or connects multifaceted systems to process and infer particular occupants' preferences and assist him or her with specific tasks (Poulson, Nicolle, & Galley, 2002).…”

This article reviews the literature on adults with serious mental illness, their caregivers, and smart home technology. The article provides compelling evidence for social workers to undertake research aimed at investigating caregivers' perceptions toward using smart home technology for care of adult family members or friends with a serious mental illness. Empirical support for using smart home technologies with adults with serious mental illness is provided, and recommendations for future social work research are offered.

“…In the future, our home could be so smart that it could control itself and act under human supervision, understand contexts and perform required actions [5] and technology usage in home environment will be rather challenging and meaningful that it should include crucial aspects of human life reflecting almost all needs and desires of human beings.…”

“…Specifically, SH is a technology that comprises sensors, wireless networks powered by intelligent computation [5], which consists of various smart devices, for example, able to open a door, control temperatures, or assist tasks such as opening the water heater in advance and monitoring the health conditions of family members [6]. In the future, our home could be so smart that it could control itself and act under human supervision, understand contexts and perform required actions [5] and technology usage in home environment will be rather challenging and meaningful that it should include crucial aspects of human life reflecting almost all needs and desires of human beings.…”

In terms of the convenience and interaction in the smart home, context awareness is introduced when we enter or leave a house resulting from that conventional methods such as RFID and pyroelectric infrared (PIR) sensors are usually adopted in indoor environments which are tough to determine the human motion direction. Specifically, a centroid based human motion recognition is implemented along with the eigenface based face recognition, which are both used to detect an event with the time and place added. Thus, an event driven application is constructed concerning the distinctive reactions towards different events detected. This paper initially proposes the algorithms adopted in the recognition of motion and face. Finally, with the method integration, an experiment is carried out in our demonstration room comprising the information integration of the camera videos as well as the communication in the wireless nodes that enables the reactions of the corresponding actuators, which is a positive attempt in context-aware smart home and can be further investigated afterwards.
