Framework Development for the Communication System of an Interactive Space with Biometric Sensors for Emotion Recognition

Abstract

Domotics seeks to generate a sense of well-being in society through the integration of different task to facilitate the tasks in the home area; however, it can go further using services that positively affect the user’s emotional state. In Emotional Domotics, it is sought the development of home automation systems that integrate biometric systems for the emotion recognition to generate an ideal scenario for the user to benefit their mental health or to improve its academic or working performance. To achieve this objective, it must first be generated a communication system that is compatible with biometric sensors. Throughout this document it is presented the process of emulation of the communication protocol of the international KNX standard for home automation to create a system compatible with biometric sensors for the recognition of emotions. On the other hand, it is presented a case of application of interactive spaces for the evaluation of products through user experience using emotion recognition systems. Finally, it is presented the validation of the effectiveness of the communication system as well as the results of the tests focused on the evaluation of the user experience.
