Abstract :
In this paper, we present a home sleep care system to monitor function of activity measurement and sleeping position estimation via vision-based algorithms. The outcomes are integrated in a telecare middleware with a hierarchical software stack and visualized by a structural subsystem. Since smart TVs play an important role in home tele-healthcare system, we centralize and display additional sleep care information at a client/server system. The proposed method has been verified to be highly correlated to the well-established sleep monitoring device, actigraphy. In addition, an innovative prototype demonstration with sleep care has been revealed to apply in smart TV environments.
