Monitoring System for a Single Aged Person on the Basis of Electricity Use - By Using Smart Meter with B Route -

摘要

In order to develop monitoring systems for single aged persons by grasping their usage of electricity, we have hatched out several algorithms to infer whether residents are living ordinary lives or not. And we also have developed small devices to utilize smart meters (smart watthour meters). The smart meters have become widespread in Japan recently and it has become easy to extract instantaneous total watt of a household from a smart meter at an interval of 30 or 60 seconds via a small device and internet. We generally call this data acquisition route "B route". Under these backgrounds, we made a proto-type monitoring system with our algorithms and devices. And we installed the systems at actual single aged households and began a demonstration test.
