Overview

Personalized services can be provided by introducing technology for automatically extracting users' preferences and life styles from life logs obtained from personal computers, portable terminals, and consumer electronic devices. We have developed a technique for extracting preferences from the operating records of terminals, action prediction technology using GPS (global positioning system) information, a visualization technique for a variety of life logs, gait monitoring technology using acceleration information, and remote controller centric technology that can obtain convenient information about the operation of consumer electronics and users' intended actions. These technologies can be applied to various fields like food recommendations and healthcare.

Features

  • Preference prediction by using time & place, operation records, and user circumstances, etc.
  • Destination forecasting by using behavior pattern
  • Method of associating a user’s schedule with the corresponding address determined from GPS data
  • Extraction of the walking scene and detailed gait analysis by processing of acceleration signals
  • Estimation of the state of each appliance from user operation logs and extraction of their intended actions

Application scenarios

  • Automatic destination forecasting and food recommendation
  • Improved efficiency in checking business trip action history
  • Support that enables a patient undergoing rehabilitation and the physician in charge to recognize signs of recovery from the patient’s daily activities
  • Personalized service offering suitable information for users based on users’ life logs
