Abstract

Lacking a certain level of activity is associated with multiple health issues, and activity management is significant for office workers who sit 77% of working hours. Recent studies on the Internet of Things spur the advent of applications for daily activity management. However, there is no activity management system collecting data unobtrusively and continuously, which provides activity recognition and assessment for office workers. Hence, this study develops a multimodal activity management system based on an infrared array sensor placed on the desk, a sensing chair, and a mobile phone. This system contains data collection, activity recognition, and activity assessment. A deep learning algorithm based on the feature-level fusion strategy is leveraged to fuse the multimodal activity data and achieve recognition. The activity assessment considers energy expenditure and sedentary bout to reflect office workers' activity characteristics. Finally, an experiment is conducted to verify the feasibility of the proposed system. The results show that recognition accuracy can reach 99.9% and 83.9% by using the validation set approach and leave-one-subject-out cross-validation approach, respectively.
