An augmented smart home system based on the internet of people concept

In this study, a concept of the Internet of People based augmented smart home system is proposed. Compared with the standard smart house concept, an electronic smart caretaker is introduced into this system as a virtual family member to care for family members and house. The caretaker monitors the house status and reports to users. He also intuitively provides reminder and suggestion mechanism for users by creating communication channels between users. More importantly, the caretaker changes and completes tasks through analyzing the updated information of users and house. This system is initially simulated and modeled in unity3D, and it will be implemented in hardware in the future.
