Abstract
There is a need to acquire more reliable profile information without relying on only the personal subjective judgment on the profile information. Profile information about a dweller is automatically extracted by evaluating and comprehensively determining each of feature amounts concerning the dweller from sensing data acquired from a sensor or a usage log concerning an equipment instrument in a living space based on a criterion for the feature amounts predetermined for a profile item. The reliability of the self-reported profile information is evaluated by comparing and verifying the automatically extracted profile information with the self-reported profile information supplied by the dweller.
Claims13
A profile information system comprising:
- a device that is coupled to a sensor;
- and
- an information processing device that includes a processor that executes an application program,
- wherein the application program includes a profile item specifier and a profile information extractor,
- wherein the profile item specifier specifies a profile item,
- wherein the profile information extractor evaluates each of a plurality of feature amounts associated with the specified profile item based on each criteria for the feature amounts and sensor data from the device respectively, and extracts profile information by comprehensively evaluating the plurality of feature amounts
- wherein the sensor data comprises information about activities or physical conditions of dwellers,
- wherein the profile information extractor extracts the profile information which comprises information about the dweller,
- wherein the profile information system further comprises a first profile information database that stores self-reported profile information supplied from the dweller,
- wherein the application program further includes a reliability evaluator,
- wherein the profile item specifier specifies a profile item corresponding to the self-reported profile information, and
- wherein the reliability evaluator evaluates the reliability of the self-reported profile information by comparing and verifying the self-reported profile information with the profile information extracted by the profile information extractor concerning the profile item for the dweller.
An information processing device comprising:
- a sensor data database;
- and
- a processor to execute an application program,
- wherein the application program includes a profile item specifier and a profile information extractor,
- wherein the profile item specifier specifies a profile item,
- wherein the profile information extractor evaluates each of a plurality of feature amounts associated with the specified profile item based on each criteria for the feature amounts and the sensor data from the sensor data database respectively, and extracts profile information by comprehensively evaluating the plurality of feature amounts
- wherein the sensor data comprises information about activities or physical conditions of dwellers,
- wherein the profile information extractor extracts the profile information which comprises information about the dweller,
- wherein the information processing device comprises a first profile information database to store self-reported profile information supplied by the dweller,
- wherein the application program further includes a reliability evaluator,
- wherein the profile item specifier specifies a profile item corresponding to the self-reported profile information, and
- wherein the reliability evaluator evaluates the reliability of the self-reported profile information by comparing and verifying the self-reported profile information with the profile information extracted by the profile information extractor concerning the profile item for the dweller.
