“…For this purpose, the consumers' degree of sense on the value of smart home products (hereafter, it is referred as value perception) was set as the dependent variable. The model design, presented in this study, was based on the definition of the platform ecosystem [7,37,40] and the viewpoint of the smart home platform [1,4,10]. The three elements of the platform ecosystem-"platform service"; "smart home products modularity"; and "inter-consumer connectivity"-that may be related to smart home products were set as explanatory variables.…”

Recently, smart home products have shown signs of rapid development and increasing awareness of smart home platforms. In order to make smart home enterprises enter the era of Smart Home 2.0, it is necessary to consider the elements related to smart home platforms. This study examines the relationship between consumers’ value perception and the platform ecosystem theory and how this relationship contributes to their perception of smart home products’ value. This study aims to reveal the influence of smart home platform elements on the value perception of consumers regarding consumers’ perception of the smart home products’ value. To achieve this goal, an online survey (n = 595) was implemented to collect data from Japanese respondents. The analytical results presented in this study indicated that consumers, who sense the value of modularization of smart home products and inter-consumer connectivity, can sense the value of smart home products. In addition, consumers who can perceive the value of a platform service can indirectly feel the value of smart home products through modularity and inter-consumer connectivity. The results presented in this study provide new insights into product development in Smart Home 2.0.

“…Smart-Homes, considered as an implementation of Ambient Intelligence to homes, have been applied to several different scenarios related to the quality of life, but also in the context with therapeutic applications, providing a significant potential concerning the diffusion of intelligent objects and innovative services [9][10][11][12]. The monitoring of activities of daily life is one of the leading technical challenges in the field [13][14][15].…”

Smart-Home Environment to Support Homework Activities for Children

et al. 2020

The Central Nervous System of humans continuously evolves when children engage in new activities. These activities are progressing from learning to eat as a baby over playing during childhood up to homework in all its dimensions. These activities, which are meaningful and relevant to everyone, constitute what occupational therapists call "occupations". The successful execution of these occupations makes the development of new roles as well as the construction of a correct state of health possible. Due to these reasons, occupational performance is a fundamental part of development throughout childhood. Homework is complex and extends beyond the school context to the home. For many children, the performance of these homework items is a difficult challenge or even impossible to overcome without the help of an adult. This article presents the design, implementation, and functional validation of an intelligent home environment that uses homework activities as a support tool for children with or without attention disabilities. In this project, the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm is combined with the development of robotic assistance to implement an intelligent home environment. In this environment, we have included intelligent things (where the usual study chairs and desks become smart objects) that determine in real-time the child's behavior during the development of homework and a robotic assistant which interacts with the children providing the necessary accompaniment (supervision and guidelines) just as a therapist would do. This development has been functionally validated by tests on several school-aged children without pathologies. In a later phase of the study, the proposal will be validated with children with different pathologies with an impact on learning, including Attention Disorder Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The goal is the generation of intelligent places for therapeutic purposes within the home as assistance for children having difficulties to work with their homework assignment due to ADHD.

“…The smart Internet of Cyber-Physical Things (IoCPT) is easily one of the most versatile technologies in existence [1][2]. IoT devices in smart homes have become increasingly vulnerable to numerous security and privacy threats [3][4][5][6][7]. Over the past few years, devices such as Smart Hub, Smart Camera have been used to launch different cyberattacks wherein attackers exploit weakly configured IoT devices and inject malicious code after discovering their credentials [8].…”
