Ami means: intelligent environment.
The concept was proposed by the European research group ISTAG ( Information Society Technology Advisory Group) in 1999, and its basic goal is to establish a ****born relationship between intelligent terminal devices and the environment.
Building a unified platform through the perception of the environment provides a seamless connection between various devices, thus forming a collaborative working relationship that harmonizes the human-machine and the environment. Ambient intelligence brings together several computing domains. The first is pervasive computing, whose main contribution is the development of various de facto networking capabilities for highly portable or large numbers of low-cost computing devices.
Basic introduction:
1. Since the invention of computers, people have been seeking to utilize computers to better serve humans, from the first computers to PCs to mainframe systems and the future of pervasive computing environments; from multiple people **** the same use of a machine to one person using a machine to a future multiple machines working together to serve humans.
2, with computing and communication capabilities of the information equipment has penetrated into our work, life environment, people want to be able to anytime, anywhere, convenient and free to enjoy the computing power and information services, which brings the concept of intelligent environment (Ambient Intelligence, AmI) proposed.
3. At present, based on the wireless local area network, the intelligent system combining the intelligent family, residential community informationization, medical monitoring and security management has begun to emerge, such as Microsoft's EasyLiving, the Oxygen project developed by MIT, PHILIPS's HomeLab, Japan's "House of the Future" experimental application system, and IISI's "House of the Future" experimental application system, and the "House of the Future" experimental application system. "Experimental application system and IST Project's OZONE project.
