Daily Life Support for and Widely Applicable Living Arrangement System under the Internet Environment: An Advanced Study

Some fundamental concept and technology relating well-being systems are discussed as an advanbced studies on the communicariont facility from the standpoints of their beneficiaries and social infrastructure. We mainly mention them according to ther subjective needs of individual beneficiaries in an ageing society. Thus, the support rather than the surveillance of beneficiaries is talked with low expenses of simplified equipment in ordinary tele-health cases, community-wide medicare offering security. Emphasis is however placed on Face-to-Face communication and easy handling by beneficiaries, providing as examples such opportunities as enjoying games for the disadvantaged and for dementia patients. Then, the same technological concept based on broadband are mentioned to make it enable to have teleconferences at a distance, teleeducation for rural depopulated region. Hereby a simple technology in principle is on the basis of its safety, reliability and flexibility, reflecting past technical achievements for the well-being of the persons. and the active use of the Internet environment for the wide provision of convenience and help of daily life on public benefits. In addition are proposed some methods concerning system management and software provision to start up the computer from a distance. We present technical viewpoints from our studies with comprehensive engineering issues related to development and practical utilization of basic functions required by the Internet. From the progress in information & communication technology, appropriate systems are systematically developed for the help of daily life, amusement, guidance, health care, rehabilitation, nursing and medicare. They enabled the beneficiaries not only to ask neighbors in emergency and to have daily necessities, but also to cover effective activity and communications in remote islands and/or depopulated area where sufficient resource of medical staff might not be provided. In order to bilaterally communicate with beneficiaries, an extended functions of the proposed basic system are utilized for various systems, which are supported as the concrete methods and apparatus to communicate their concerning data. In this stuation, important methods for the help of everyday life and rescue of a lonely living person with sudden illness threatened to life are realized by the combination of the additional button-type computer with the proposed communication techniques without any complicated manipulation under the Internet environment.
