Demo Abstract: Icrutch: A Smartphone-Based Intelligent Crutch For Smart Home Applications
Abstract
As the rapid development of smart home applications, they bring us much more convenience to operate smart lights, room heaters etc., directly. However, it is still hard for the elderly or someone with leg problems to operate the above things because the movement of them is dependent on a pair of crutches so that their hands are not always available while using crutches. Therefore, if the elderly or someone with leg problems can control the devices directly with crutches, it will become more comfortable and convenient for them to live in the smart houses. Due to such motivation, we propose iCrutch in this paper. By bidding the user's obsolescent smartphone on the currently used crutch, iCrutch can recognize the user's actions and send controlling commands to the smart home actuators for further response. Unlike remote controllers, our iCrutch permits the user to operate without leaving his/her hands from the crutches. Meanwhile, iCrutch almost does not introduce extra cost since the obsolescent smartphone and the current crutch are made full use of. The expense of our system is noticeably reduced compared with embedding a smart system into the crutch.
