Classification of Functions in Smart Home

Abstract

Elderly people, as well as people with disabilities, face many mobility problems due to either bone system degradation or various afflictions they suffer. Therefore, any solution that improves the quality of life of these people is more than welcome. This paper aims to present an approach for developing a smart toilet system for ageing people and persons of all ages with impairments/disabilities. Toilet4me is one of the most significant projects that involve smart toilet development especially for senior population and those with different disabilities who need an intelligent toilet outside their homes. Unlike the previous solution developed in iToilet project which led to a prototype for home-use (including the ability to adjust the height and position of the toilet and other auxiliary means by using several different technologies, Toilet4me is now exploring the concept and viability of adapting these technologies to semi-public spaces.
