基于环境的障碍通知服务,面向老年人的户外支持

Context-based Barrier Notification Service Toward Outdoor Support for the Elderly

Keisuke Umezu, Takahiro Kawamura, Akihiko Ohsuga

摘要:

老龄化社会已经成为一个全球性的问题,不仅仅是在发达国家。在这种情况下,据说从包括降低社会福利成本在内的各个角度来看,老年人参与社会活动都是非常可取的。因此,我们提出了一种移动服务,通知附近的用户在外面的障碍信息,以降低老年人的焦虑,促进他们的社会活动。在某些地区有无障碍地图,但这些地图是静态的,最早每年更新。然而,存在临时障碍,如道路维修和停放的自行车,而且每个障碍都不是针对每个老年人。也就是说,老年人是在几种条件和意愿下走出去的,所以一个老人的障碍不一定是另一个。因此,我们首先以用户参与的方式收集障碍物信息,并选择用户需要了解的障碍物信息,然后通过配备GPS的手机及时提供。本文展示了我们在东京进行的公开实验,并证实了信息过滤的可用性和准确性。

英文摘要:

Aging society has been becoming a global problem not only in advanced countries. Under such circumstances, it is said that participation of elderly people in social activities is highly desirable from various perspectives including decrease of social welfare costs. Thus, we propose a mobile service that notifies barrier information nearby users outside to lowers the anxiety of elderly people and promote their social activities. There are barrier free maps in some areas, but those are static and updated annually at the earliest. However, there exist temporary barriers like road repairing and parked bicycles, and also every barrier is not for every elder person. That is, the elder people are under several conditions and wills to go out, so that a barrier for an elder person is not necessarily the one for the other. Therefore, we first collect the barrier information in the user participatory manner and select the ones the user need to know, then timely provide them via a mobile phone equipped with GPS. This paper shows the public experiment that we conducted in Tokyo, and confirms the usability and the accuracy of the information filtering.
