Abstract :
The purpose of our work is to develop a system that can detect and alarm the individual´s sitting position of inactive period. Non-wearable sensor system based on FSR includes a H/W device for interfacing between a computer S/W that process sensing data and FSR module as a Sitting Mat. Pressure intensity of each sensing point on computer S/ W can be showned by color change and area expansion and we observe changes in the quantitative and qualitative. Our system has an edge in price competitiveness compared to the existing foreign system by reducing the number of FSR sensor array and improve the sensitivity of Load Measurements with computer S/W algorithm. In the future, it will continue to be developed smartphone apps to check real-time alerts with transmitting data over the bluetooth interface. and we will be expected to develope FSR sensors with durability and ductility by performing clinical trials with Office workers who sit for a long time.
