L’apprentissage des modes de vie: une base indispensable au développement d’un habitat «intelligent»

RésuméL’émergence des nouvelles technologies de l’informatique, de l’électronique et des communications sans fil permet aujourd’hui l’intégration de fonctions indispensables à des offres de services adaptées aux besoins des utilisateurs dans l’habitat. Ces offres doivent pouvoir répondre à deux demandes sociétales fortes que sont la maîtrise des coûts de santé et la maîtrise de l’énergie. C’est dans ce sens, que de nombreux travaux de recherche aux approches différentes ont été menés tels que ceux dulaas qui visent à intégrer les habitudes et pratiques des utilisateurs dans les automatismes domotiques. Les principes élaborés reposent sur l’apprentissage des habitudes de vie. Deux exemples d’applications utilisant ces concepts sont présentés par l’intermédiaire de deux systèmes domotiques pour la surveillance personnalisée du comportement de personnes âgées dans une perspective de soins à domicile, et pour la gestion automatique du confort thermique. Les résultats encourageants obtenus sur ces exemples laissent entrevoir la possibilité de proposer des systèmes performants faibles coûts en les associant à d’autres fonctions pour contribuer au développement d’un véritable «habitat intelligent».AbstractThe advent of new technologies in the field of data processing, electronics and wireless communications currently support the integration of essential functions for the provision of services tailored to the user needs at home. These services are destined to address two key societal demands, i.e., keeping health costs and energy costs under control. With this objective in mind, a number of research works involving various approaches have been conducted as those carried out atlaas for the purpose of integrating the habits and practices of home automation users. The principles under investigation rely on learning habits. Two examples of application using these concepts are presented through use of two home automation systems for a personalized behavioral monitoring of the elderly with a view to providing home care, and for the automatic management of thermal comfort. Promising results have been obtained and pave the way for efficient and cost effective systems that could be associated with other functions to contribute to the development of a truly «smart home».
