Abstract

A user status analyzing apparatus including an activity history acquiring module configured to acquire, in a form of activity history time series data, activity history information in which a user activity is written through a home network to which a plurality of sensor devices is connected; an activity history storage configured to store the plurality of activity history time series data obtained by the activity history acquiring module; and an activity history analyzing module configured to analyze a user status depending on a correlation and characteristics perceived on a basis of the plurality of activity history time series data stored in the activity history storage.

Claims

1. A user status analyzing apparatus comprising:

an activity history acquiring module configured to acquire, in a form of activity history time series data, activity history information in which a user activity is written through a home network to which a plurality of sensor devices is connected;

an activity history storage configured to store the plurality of activity history time series data obtained by the activity history acquiring module; and

an activity history analyzing module configured to analyze a user status depending on a correlation and characteristics perceived on a basis of the plurality of activity history time series data stored in the activity history storage.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the activity history acquiring module is configured to acquire at least one of indoor status information including temperature, humidity, illumination or noise level of a room, sleep status information including sleep amount or sleep quality of the user, home appliances drive information including a refrigerator, a microwave oven or a water purifier, movement information including motion speed, motion level, positional status or motion property of the user, diet information including food taken by the user, medical information including a value measured by a blood sugar meter or a blood pressure meter, or emotion information including a condition of the user.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the activity history acquiring module acquires card use information of the user which is a kind of the activity history information from a card transaction management server connected through a communication network.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the activity history acquiring module acquires terminal use information of the user which is a kind of the activity history information from a mobile communication terminal connected through a communication network.

5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the activity history acquiring module acquires foodstuff purchase information of the user which is a kind of the activity history information from a foodstuff sale management server connected through a communication network.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the activity history analyzing module provides information so that the perceived status of the user can be recognized.

7. A user status analyzing method comprising:

acquiring, in a form of activity history time series data, activity history information in which a user activity history is recorded through a home network to which a plurality of sensor devices is connected;

analyzing a correlation and characteristics for a plurality of activity history time series data; and

perceiving a user status depending on the correlation and characteristics determined.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein said acquiring activity history information comprises obtaining at least one of indoor status information including temperature, humidity, illumination or noise level of a room, sleep status information including sleep amount or sleep quality of the user, home appliances drive information including a refrigerator, a microwave oven or a water purifier, movement information including motion speed, motion level, positional status or motion characteristic of the user, diet information including food taken by the user, medical information including a value measured by a blood sugar meter or a blood pressure meter, or emotion information including a condition of the user.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein said acquiring activity history information comprises acquiring card use information of the user which is a kind of the activity history information from a card transaction management server connected through a communication network.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein said acquiring activity history information comprises acquiring terminal use information of the user which is a kind of the activity history information from a mobile communication terminal connected through a communication network.

11. The method of claim 7, wherein said acquiring activity history information comprises acquiring foodstuff purchase information of the user which is a kind of the activity history information from a foodstuff sale management server connected through a communication network.

12. The method of claim 7, wherein said perceiving a user status comprises providing information so that the perceived status of the user can be recognized.
