Abstract

We propose an anomaly detection method for watching elderly people using only the power data acquired by a smart meter. In a conventional system that uses only power data, a warning is issued if the power consumption does not increase after the wake-up time or when the amount of power does not change for a long time. These methods need to set the wake-up time and power threshold for each user. Furthermore, wrong warnings are issued while residents are out of the home. In our method, multiple common power consumption models are created for each household for each short time zone, and a watching system is constructed by regarding the gaps between these models and newly observed data as anomaly values. This can be automatically applied to various situations such as “during sleep,” “during home activity” and “time zone for frequently going out in the daytime.”
