Abstract:

This DIN SPEC, developed according to the PAS procedure, specifies a method of classifying Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) services in the home environment and immediate vicinity of the home. First the basic concepts are explained with terms and definitions. As well as being assigned to classes, services are described using standardized criteria to facilitate their comparability and to enable, for example, inferences to be drawn about their complexity. This document does not deal with AAL services of a purely technical nature that provide the client with added value without the involvement of other actors (such as building automation services).
