- WorkshopbeitragAlexa, tell me more – about new best friends, the advantage of hands-free operation and life-long learning(Mensch und Computer 2020 - Workshopband, 2020) Scherr, Simon André; Meier, Annika; Cihan, SelmaThe demographic change and the digital transformation are two phenomena that change our society. In the future, the demographic change will lead to an increasing proportion of older people. Elderly people often feel lonely and cannot fully take part in social life. Our research explores how to increase the participation of elderly people in social activities and how to reduce loneliness with the help of digital solutions. For this purpose, we equipped a group of elderly people living in the same neighborhood with Amazon Echo Show devices. This experience report presents our evaluation strategy and results. We present the expectations of the participants, how they used the device, and the results regarding user acceptance. It turned out that the device is easy to use and became a beloved member of the household, and that the participants felt less lonely and more socially interconnected.
- KonferenzbeitragAnalysing user’s privacy preferences in smart-home environments with situational contexts(Open Identity Summit 2023, 2023) Ruff, Christopher; Benthien, Benedict; Orlowski, AlexanderDue to the increasing adoption of smart home devices and technologies, implications for privacy gain importance. In this paper, correlations between specific characteristics of people and their preferences regarding the activity status of components in smart home devices are investigated. In addition, said preferences are analysed for inherent patterns to assist people in their decisions by suggesting preferences, which often occur together. A special focus of this work is the differentiation of preferences according to situational contexts. An online survey was conducted, and the results were analysed. The results imply strong correlations within the preferences and differences in preferences across different contexts.
- WorkshopbeitragDigitale Service Innovation für die Gesundheitsversorgung im vernetzten Zuhause(Mensch und Computer 2020 - Workshopband, 2020) Hamper, AndreasDigitale Assistenzsysteme unterstützen das sichere und selbstbestimmte Leben im eigenen Zuhause. Neben technischen Produktinnovationen, wie Sprachassistenten, bietet besonders die Vernetzung existierender Gesundheits- und Gebäudetechnik Potenziale, neue Dienste nutzerzentriert für Zielgruppen mit häufig geringer IT-Affinität zu entwickeln. Damit können sowohl Bewohner zum souveränen Selbstmanagement der eigenen Gesundheit und Sicherheit befähigt werden und gleichzeitig Gesundheitsdienstleistern wie Pflegediensten und Hausärzte engmaschige Daten aus dem täglichen Leben zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Bestehende (Öko-)Systemgrenzen und Insellösungen erschweren bisher die Schaffung von nutzerzentrierten offenen Lösungen für datenbasierte Innovation. Der Beitrag zeigt, ausgehend von dem Modellprojekt „Digitales Gesundheitsdorf“, wie zukünftig Systemgrenzen der Ambient Assisten Living (AAL)- und Smart-Home-Technologie überwunden werden können um neue nutzerzentrierte Dienste für ein sicheres und selbstbestimmtes Leben von Patienten und Bewohner in der häuslichen Umgebung zu entwickeln.
- WorkshopbeitragEine haptische Lichtsteuerung für Senioren in Smart Environments(Mensch und Computer 2015 – Proceedings, 2015) Dielmann, Steffen; Huldtgren, AlinaDiese Arbeit befasst sich mit der Konzeption und prototypischen Umsetzung einer Lichtsteuerung für Senioren, die einfach und intuitiv bedienbar sein soll. Auf existierende Lösungen wie eine Smartphone-App soll dabei bewusst verzichtet werden, um auch weniger Technik-affinen Senioren den Zugang zu ermöglichen. Entstanden ist ein Tangible User Interface, das auf der mentalen Verknüpfung von Bildern mit bestimmten Beleuchtungssituationen basiert. Mit RFID-Tags markierte Bilder werden auf einem Lesegerät platziert und lösen eine entsprechende Lichtänderung im Raum aus. Ein Nutzertest zeigt, dass der Prototyp von Senioren ohne Anleitung innerhalb kurzer Zeit bedient werden kann.
- WorkshopbeitragAn interface for increasing users’ understanding of smart home systems using gamification(Mensch und Computer 2021 - Workshopband, 2021) Lakbir, Mohamed; Akyildiz, Serkan; Gupta, Pulkit; Afola, Marlyse; Sieger, Leonie NoraSmart home systems are becoming more and more popular as the technologies become more sophisticated and efficient. Despite this interest and popularity, the use and acceptance of smart home systems are still low. This is due to factors such as lack of understanding of how smart home systems work, as well as concerns about privacy and data protection. We created a concept of a smart home interface that is supposed to increase understanding of the functioning and data management of the system through gamification. Interviews were conducted with possible users, who were questioned about their experiences with and opinions about certain aspects of smart home systems, to further investigate the factors that impact acceptance. After that, the subjects were presented our concept, which is supposed to solve these barriers. Results show that most participants worry about a lack of transparency of data usage in a smart home but have mostly positive feelings about our concept. We conclude that our gamification approach has the potential to make people more aware of how personal data works and how it is handled.
- ZeitschriftenartikelSensing Home: Designing an Open Tool That Lets People Collect and Interpret Simple Sensor Data from Their Homes(i-com: Vol. 17, No. 2, 2018) Berger, Arne; Kurze, Albrecht; Totzauer, Sören; Storz, Michael; Lefeuvre, Kevin; Bischof, Andreas; Freiermuth, MiraThe Internet of Things in the home is a design space with huge potential. With sensors getting smaller and cheaper, smart sensor equipped objects will become an integral, preinstalled part of the future home. With this article we will reflect on Sensing Home, a design tool to explore sensors in the home together with people. Sensing Home allows people to integrate sensors and connectivity into mundane domestic products in order to make them smart. As such, it can be used by people to experience and explore sensors in the home and daily life. They may explore possible use cases, appropriate sensor technology, and learn about this technology through use. At the same time people may also be empowered to understand the issues and implications of sensors in the home. We present the design rationale of Sensing Home, five usage examples of how Sensing Home allowed people to explore sensor technology, and the deployment of Sensing Home together with a self-developed group discussion method to empower people to understand the benefits and pitfalls of sensors in their home. The article ends with a brief reflection whether Sensing Home is a probe or a toolkit.
- KonferenzbeitragWisdom of the IoT Crowd: Envisioning a Smart Home-based Nutritional Intake Monitoring System(Mensch und Computer 2021 - Tagungsband, 2021) Faltaous, Sarah; Janzon, Simon; Heger, Roman; Strauss, Marvin; Golkar, Pedram; Viefhaus, Matteo; Prochazka, Marvin; Gruenefeld, Uwe; Schneegass, StefanObesity and overweight are two factors linked to various health problems that lead to death in the long run. Technological advancements have granted the chance to create smart interventions. These interventions could be operated by the Internet of Things (IoT) that connects different smart home and wearable devices, providing a large pool of data. In this work, we use IoT with different technologies to present an exemplary nutrition monitoring intake system. This system integrates the input from various devices to understand the users’ behavior better and provide recommendations accordingly. Furthermore, we report on a preliminary evaluation through semi-structured interviews with six participants. Their feedback highlights the system’s opportunities and challenges.
- WorkshopbeitragWohnen im Alter – Beraten bevor es zu spät ist(Mensch und Computer 2020 - Workshopband, 2020) Scherr, Simon André; Berg, MatthiasDer demografische Wandel und die digitale Transformation stellen unsere heutige Gesellschaft vor große Herausforderungen. Durch die zunehmende Überalterung leben immer mehr Menschen in Wohnungen, die nicht altersgerecht ausgelegt sind. Gleichzeitig können Senioren ohne Hinführung nur schwer mit den technischen Möglichkeiten umgehen, die die digitale Transformation bietet, indem sie bspw. ein einfacheres Leben in den eigenen vier Wänden ermöglicht. Wir berichten von der Problemstellung in einem Projekt rund um die Digitalisierung einer kommunalen Wohnberatungsstelle. Hierbei ist sowohl die digitale Inklusion der zumeist älteren ehrenamtlichen Wohnberater als auch die Vermittlung von Digitalkompetenzen bei den zu beratenden Senioren eine große Herausforderung.
