Analytical Review

New advancements in pervasive computing technology have turned smart homes into a daily living monitoring tool increasingly used for elderly. Recently, using knowledge driven approaches such as ontology to introduce semantic smart homes has received attention due to their flexibility, reasoning and knowledge representation. Due to the vast number of ontological human activity recognition methods, the proposed ontological human activity recognition framework can be effective in analyzing and evaluating different methods in different applications and dealing with various challenges. Also, due to numerous challenges involved in different aspects of ontology-based human activity recognition in smart homes, this paper offers a classification for challenges in human activity recognition in ontology based systems. Then the proposed ontological human activity recognition framework is evaluated based on the proposed classification and ontology-based techniques which are thought to solve some of the challenges are examined and analyzed.

Smart Homes are generally considered the final solution for living problem, especially for the health care of the elderly and disabled, power saving, etc. Human activity recognition in smart homes is the key to achieving home automation, which enables the smart services to automatically run according to the human mind. Recent research has made a lot of progress in this field; however, most of them can only recognize default activities, which is probably not needed by smart homes services. In addition, low scalability makes such research infeasible to be used outside the laboratory. In this study, we unwrap this issue and propose a novel framework to not only recognize human activity but also predict it. The framework contains three stages: recognition after the activity, recognition in progress, and activity prediction in advance. Furthermore, using passive RFID tags, the hardware cost of our framework is sufficiently low to popularize the framework. In addition, the experimental result demonstrates that our framework can realize good performance in both activity recognition and prediction with high scalability.
