Abstract :
In this article, the intelligent home care system based on context-awareness consists of a sensor platform, a context-aware framework and an intelligent agent, where a sensor platform collects raw data and sends them to a context-aware framework, where perceives residents´ and a home´s context. An intelligent agent triggers intelligent and automatic services according to the information based on situation of the context-aware framework. We design and implement an intelligent home care system based on the context-awareness technology, which minimizes residents´ interventions and maximizes functional autonomy of systems. Also we suggest system architecture and its flows for the proposed system. In this article we discuss interaction issue about conflict and interference between various context information and service in the ubiquitous home environment. Context information conflict arises in deciding service through various sensing information. Service interaction generated when service is applied in different controls at the same time for the same device. We focused on context-aware based service mechanism.
