Abstract

Being able to detect in real-time the activity per- formed by a user in a home setting provides highly valuable context. It can allow more effective use of novel technologies in a large variety of applications, from comfort and safety to energy efficiency, remote health monitoring and assisted living. In a home setting, activity recognition has been traditionally studied based on either a large sensor network infrastructure already set up in a home, or a network of wearable sensors attached to various parts of the user’s body. We argue that both approaches suffer considerably in terms of practicality and propose instead the use of commercial off-the-shelf smart watches, already owned by the users. We test the feasibility of this approach with two different smart watches of very different capabilities, on a variety of activities performed daily in a domestic environment, from brushing teeth to preparing food. Our experimental results are encouraging, as using stan- dard Support Vector Machine based classification, the accuracy rates range between 88% and 100%, depending on the type of smart watch and the window size chosen for data segmentation.
