It can be considered that mouth is available for the operation of the equipment due to the fact that its motion is very fast compared with other body parts. This paper proposed an assist system for bed user with omnidirectional wheelchair. The user's face was observed by the USB camera and the mouth open/close motions were applied for the operation of the equipment such as a reclining bed, omnidirectional auto-wheelchair, and so on. Here, we utilized the area of the user's mouth, which was chased in real time. We prepared three layers which had the select menu and it was selected by the mouth operation. The selected equipment could be controlled via a bluetooth.
