Resumo: Recent developments in IoT devices and communication systems, have brought to light new solutions capable of offering advanced sensing of the surrounding environments. On the other hand, during the last decades, the average life expectancy has increased, which translates into a considerable rise in the number of elderly people. Consequently, in view of all these factors, there is currently a constant demand for solutions to support an Active and Assisted Living (AAL) of such people. The presented thesis intends to propose a solution to help to know the location of IoT devices that may be assisting people. The proposed solution should take into consideration the risk factors of the target group at each moment, as well as the technical constraints of the device, such as its available power energy and means of communications. Thus, ultimately, a profile-based decision should autonomously be made by the device or its integrated system, in order to ensure the usage of the best geolocation technology for each situation.

Por outro lado, no decorrer das últimas décadas, a esperança média de vida aumentou, o que se traduz também num considerável aumento do número de pessoas idosas. Por conseguinte, perante o conjunto destes factores, existe actualmente uma procura constante de soluções de suporte a uma Active and Assisted Living desse grupo de pessoas. A presente tese tenciona propor uma solução que ajude a conhecer a localização dos dispositivos IoT que possam estar a ajudar pessoas. A solução proposta deve ter em consideração os fatores de risco do grupo-alvo em cada momento e também as restrições técnicas do dispositivo, como a energia disponível e os meios de comunicação. Deste modo, em última instância, uma decisão baseada num perfil deve ser tomada autonomamente pelo dispositivo ou pelo seu sistema, para garantir a utilização da tecnologia de geolocalização mais adequada em cada situação.Gonçalves, RicardoSarraipa, JoãoRUNRodrigues, Rafael Joaquim Oliveira2023-02-08T13:48:17Z2020-112020-11-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/148838enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T05:29:58Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/148838Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:53:23.037692Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
