It was a long way

• From the first housings

to modern living

LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 33

It’s the same

• for cars

that was the beginning

LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 44

It’s the same

mass production started

LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 55

It’s the same

and now there is a lot of technology for comfort and safety

LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 66

But there is a great difference

• houses have a longer history• we spend much more of our time in our

homes than in the car• we mostly spend more money for our

home than for our car

LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 77

But nevertheless ...

technology for cars is much better developed than for homes

cars have become more intelligent what about our homes?

LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 88

When I am leaving my home ...

did I turn off the light, did I plug out the iron?

are all windows and doors closed?

is the cooker switched off?

and .....

LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 99

When I am leaving my car

after opening the door a buzzing tone reminds me of the burning light

I lock the door using a wireless remote key

all doors get locked by the central locking system

LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 1010

safety belts air bags crush zone ASB ESP .....

Safety in my car

LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 1111

... and at home?

Gliding inlay under the carpet Maybe fire and gas alarm ... But what else?

Why are there so many harms caused by fall downs

Where is the airbag for the bathtub or the shower?

LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 1212

there is a backlog of needs on ...

... safety and comfort ... especially in homes for

older people ... living longer

autonomously at home ... apartments getting

more intelligent

LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 1313

... gives Ambient Assisted Living – AAL

Offering information and other technologies to help older people and people with special needs for an autonous living as long as possible

An answer ....

LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 LLM-Workshop,Athens, May 20th, 2010 1414

... and realized in ...

....LLM – Independendant Living Component ILC

Scenarios

• Typical “ILC-single” scenario:

Fall detection • Herta is 79 years old. She is living alone at home. She already experienced

2 falls while the last one caused her a shoulder lesion which she is still suffering from. Herta is mentally quite fit.

• It‘s a very hot day. After breakfast Herta is listening to the radio. Before preparing lunch, she reads the newspaper and tries to solve crossword puzzles. The sun is very intense this day and heats the flat up to 35°C. While Herta is cooking she suddenly collapses.

• Because Herta is not able to give her feedback to the automatically triggered fall detection system, her daughter is informed about the incident.

Scenarios

• Typical “ILC-multi” scenario:

Manual alarm:• Mary is performing physical training in the training room

of a senior’s residence.

• Suddenly she does not feel well – she pushes the emergency button on the LUI touch screen in front of her –

• a call gets established to her trainer who is sitting in her office, the trainer asks what has happened – Mary asks for help
