A proposed home agent architecture to infer user feeling from user action pattern

摘要

Many household electrical appliances that use information technology have recently been developed. We can operate these appliances from anywhere, and research has shown that such appliances support users in their daily lives. The basis for supporting the user is detecting repetitive operation by the user. We think it is important for a home agent to detect user operation and consider the users feeling when they are operating the appliance. The home agent takes into account the degree of importance and pleasure of the operation pattern. In this paper, we propose a home agent that predicts the user''s operation, detects forgotten operation and supposes a degree of importance and pleasure for an operation pattern and evaluated its performance in a simulated environment.
