| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to examine the possibility of context aware computing applied to a smart home. To do that, it is necessary to know what is context, how to use the computing technologies at homes, and what to use among the technologies. Context aware computing is different from ubiquitous computing in terms that context aware computing starts at information technology, which expresses characteristics of the real world. Smart space, applied with context aware technologies, connects objects with users linking network systems with architectural space components that concern the activity patterns of the users. The space also provides appropriate service according to the movements of the users, as well as exchanges information with each space at home. Firstly, the study reassesses case studies and related literature reviews that are based on the context aware computing. Secondly, a scenario, which extracts to concrete factors implementing at home and unites the factors to the context aware information needed to the users, is suggested to visualize the detailed technologies. Lastly, the conceivable applications of the computing technologies at the smart homes are mentioned. |
