Since most of the traditional elderly assistant system cannot achieve remote control and send immediate notifications to their families when falling of the elderly occurs, a somatosensory interactive and remote controllable elderly assistant & custody system is designed and realized based on Kinect and Gizwits in this paper. Old people’s falling can be detected via the depth images and skeleton information captured by Kinect sensor and notified to their family members through web service. Remote control of the simulated smart home appliance through the mobile APP can be achieved via Data Points set in Gizwits cloud platform. Because of the remote control of the domestic appliance and accurate identification of falling-down action, the presented system can provide the elderly people with great convenience and ensure their living safety.
