Abstract :
In this paper, a behavior model of home cared aging family is presented and used by our designed intelligent pervasive-care system. This system uses multiple interlaced and non-visual sensors to recognize the behavior of concerned family in independent and concurrent. It also provides a competition mechanism between those heterogeneous sensing agents for verifying the recognized behavior. Those independent agents process and classify sensed single to some known symptoms. Based on those known symptoms, the reasoning mechanism in our behavior model can infer the occurring events, actions, and purpose of the cared aging family. So the behavior model empowers the intelligent pervasive-care system to monitor the home activities of cared aging family, and assist them to inform suitable peoples when some accidents occurrence.
