Abstract
A wearable system which monitors human's state real-timely and offers services based on human's objective, preference, location and state is needed. We developed a system which monitors human's movement by a wristwatch-type motion sensor and foot pressure shoes which send data to a wearable PC via Bluetooth and gives appropriate contents on a face mounted display without hindering action and annoying to the user. The algorithm of foot pressure shoes for recognizing behaviors (walking, running, standing, sitting, squatting) by plantar pressure patterns was verified. They can be used for improving the accuracy of user's state estimation.
