Ambient intelligence (AmI) refers to electronic environments that are sensitive and responsive to human presence. AmI aims to support users by having devices work together to automatically meet users' needs through context awareness and personalized interactions. Key technologies that enable AmI include ubiquitous computing, ubiquitous communication, and intelligent user interfaces to create a seamless experience between users and their digitally augmented surroundings. While AmI offers benefits like increased convenience, control, and efficiency, open challenges remain regarding privacy, security, complexity of modeling multiple users, and ensuring reliability of networked devices.
Ambient intellegence
- 1. PRESENTED BY – LOVELY 14MBA1153
- 2. AmI is an emerging discipline that brings intelligence to our every day environments and make those environments sensitive to us. Ambient intelligence is a vision on the future of consumer electronics, telecommunications and computing that was originally developed in the late 1990s for the time frame 2010–2020. In an ambient intelligence world, devices work in concert to support people in carrying out their everyday life activities, tasks and rituals in an easy, natural way using information and intelligence that is hidden in the network connecting these devices. More and more people make decisions based on the effect their actions will have on their own inner, mental world.
- 3. This experience-driven way of acting is a change from the past when people were primarily concerned about the use value of products and services,. Ambient intelligence addresses this shift in existential view by emphasizing people and user experience. It is a network of hidden intelligent interfaces that recognize our presence and mould our environment to our immediate needs. A key factor in AmI is the presence of Intelligence
- 4. In computing, ambient intelligence (AmI) refers to electronic environments that are sensitive and responsive to the presence of people. AmI refers to an exciting new paradigm in IT in which people are empowered through a digital environment that is aware of their presence and context and is sensitive, adaptive and responsive to their needs, habits, gestures and emotions.
- 5. A variety of technologies can be used to enable Ambient intelligence environments such as: Bluetooth Low Energy RFID Ict implant Sensors Software agents Affective computing Nanotechnology Biometrics
- 6. All this implies that the near future will bring us kitchens that will automatically switch off hot plates when we leave the apartment or, even more astonishing, TV’s that automatically switch to another TV channel if it “judges” by our facial expressions that we don’t like the show which is on at the moment
- 8. The ISTAG advisory group suggests that the following characteristics will permit the societal acceptance of ambient intelligence: AmI should facilitate human contact. AmI should be oriented towards community and cultural enhancement. AmI should help to build knowledge and skills for work, better quality of work, citizenship and consumer choice. AmI should inspire trust and confidence. AmI should be consistent with long term sustainability — personal, societal and environmental — and with lifelong learning. AmI should be made easy to live with and controllable by ordinary people.
- 9. Ambient intelligence is based on 3 key technologies: Ubiquitous Computing Ubiquitous Communication Intelligence User Interfaces
- 10. Ubiquitous Computing means the integration of microprocessors into everyday objects like furniture, clothes, toys, etc. Using Ubiquitous Computing people will not be aware of the presence of computers, they will be in the background.
- 11. Ubiquitous Communication enables these objects to communicate with each other and with the user by means of ad-hoc and wireless networking. INTELLIGENCE USER INTERFACES Intelligence User Interfaces enables the inhabitants of the AmI to control and interact with the environment in a natural(voice, gestures) and personalized way(preferences, context).
- 13. LOW COST DEVICES They will be more specific computers for concrete applications, so they will not have the processor and hard disk requirements that general purpose computers have. HIGH BAND WIDTH Another requirement for Ubiquitous Computing is to have enough network bandwidth to allow that the communication between the different devices that are used. INVISIBLE FILE SYSTEM Users should be able to access to data without knowing specific file names, location or format.
- 14. AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION Some technical alternatives are the use of programming languages as Java that are platform-independent and are moved easily from one computer to another. PERSONALIZE INFORMATION One approach can be that every time a new person joins a community her/his personal profile needs to be added to every device. PRIVACY ISSUES System can record the actions of the users, their preferences, their locations… & some other people may access to these data.
- 15. AmI exhibits the following features: offers great benefits to users by customizing their environments and meeting their needs. gives more control to humans by making their environments more responsive to intended actions, and reducing the physical effort that is required to perform a task. can take away control when the environment performs the wrong action. AmI technologies can raise other security issues. At the sensor level, sensor reliability, handling errors and installation errors can create security risks. To ensure security in sensor networks, the designer must consider these factors together with sensor communication channel reliability and security, and sensor data security.
- 16. SMART HOMES Ambient Intelligence is allowing the home itself to possess intelligence and make decisions regarding its state and interactions with its residents. HEALTH RELATED APPLICATIONS Hospitals can increase the efficiency of their services by monitoring patients’ health and progress by performing automatic analysis of activities in their rooms. EDUCATION SERVICES Education related institutions may use technology to create smart classrooms where the modes of learning are enhanced.
- 17. PUBLIC TRANSPORT SECTOR Public transport can benefit from extra technology including satellite services, GPS-based spatial location, vehicle identification, image processing and other technologies to make transport more fluent and hence more efficient and safe. EMERGENCY SERVICES: Safety- related services like fire brigades can improve the reaction to a hazard by locating the place more efficiently and also by preparing the way to reach the place in connection with street services.
- 18. Production-oriented places Companies can use RFID sensors to tag different products and track them along the production and commercialization processes. This allows identifying the product path from production to consumer and helps improving the process by providing valuable information for the company on how to react to favorable demand and unusual events like products that become unsuitable for sale.
- 19. As far as dissemination of information on personal presence is out of control, ambient intelligence vision is subject of criticism: Many AmI applications relying upon wireless sensors are at the mercy of battery lie for the sensors. Challenge is to model multiple residents in an environment Challenge for AmI researchers is to design self-testing and self-repairing AmI software. Issues related to security and privacy for AmI systems. Any immersive, personalized, context-aware and anticipatory characteristics brings up societal, political and cultural concerns about the loss of privacy, as soon as any third party gets control over the respective information and status data.
- 20. Ambient Intelligence is establishing fast as an area where a confluence of topics can converge to help society through technology. There are still many challenges ahead and improvements are needed at all levels: infrastructure, algorithms and human computer interaction for AmI systems to be widely accepted and more important of all, be useful to society.
