Detection of Patterns in Smart Home User Data using Color Coded Images

The expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) has added new dimension to modern living by enabling communication with and between smart objects. In the smart living domain, current living habitudes are dictating new requirements. Since generous amount of data is being generated in smart home, it offers a possibility for customizing the user experience, by creating an autonomous system. In order to automate certain routines, the pattern of user behavior should be detected. In this paper, we propose a method for pattern detection in user behavior and present an implementation of data representation in an existing smart home system.
