碩士 === 國立虎尾科技大學 === 資訊工程系碩士班 === 106 === Taiwan is gradually stepping into the aging society. The proportion of senior citizens grows year by year. In Taiwan, living in the care facilities is not popularly accepted by the senior citizens. Therefore, the number of living alone senior citizens grows quickly. Nowadays, the research topics on the senior citizens mainly focus on health monitoring, medical care, and life support, but fewer of them care about the home security. However, in the aging society, home security is an important issue before all the other issues. For the living alone senior citizens, we need to monitor the accidents occur in the home, the physical diseases of the senior citizens, and intruders to guarantee the safety of the senior citizens. By combining the technology of Internet of Things (IoT) and face recognition, we designed a Home Security System for senior citizens. The environmental information around the home, and the visitor's information are monitored. When the designed system detects the abnormal status of the senior citizens, the families and the related institutions will be notified immediately. When strangers appear in front of the door, the designed system will help the elders to determine whether the visitors can enter the house or not. The system will record related visiting information about the visitors and use statistics for helping the families of the senior citizens to detect the abnormal states of the visitors.
