Thirteenth International Conference on Design Principles & Practices

Abstract

Smart home, which emerged in the early 2000s, refers to a residential space that supports the convenience, comfort, and stability and provides information-based rest and living space of residents based on intelligent technologies connected to the Internet. Smart home technologies have rapidly grown through the popularization of smart phones through existing home automation and home network systems, and in recent years, the development of IoT technology and artificial intelligence continue to drive the intelligentization of individual objects. A smart environment is a space rich in devices and software that enable people to interact with their physical environment and network services. The smart environment makes the interactions between humans and systems variable and minimizes human interference to the system. So how does smart home affect the daily life and behavior of residents? This study proposes a visualization tool that can collectively analyze the interactions between space, users, and objects in a smart residential environment. The research includes a literature review and preliminary case study. Through literature research, blueprint modified model considering various interactions of smart home is prepared and case analysis of smart home service is carried out. The case study examines how smart homes interact with residents as a physical environment for the provision of services. Combining the results, the process of specifying a smart home service blue print modified model considering various interactions in the residential environment is introduced.
