Shed Light

The potential of smart home devices for improving the comfort, energy efficiency, and security of its residents has been noted by researchers and early adopters of these technologies. Despite these advantages and advances in home automation technology, their adoption has not been as widespread as anticipated by experts. Existing research has shown that the lack of trust in home devices is a significant deterrent to widespread adoption. There is little data on how this perceived trustworthiness of the system might be impacted by the location that the device operates in, and the perceived gender of the automated agent within the device. Therefore, this exploratory study addresses this knowledge gap by exploring the role of agent location (office / home) and gender of the agent’s voice (female / male) on perceptions of trustworthiness in a controlled laboratory setting with a simulated smart lock system. Preliminary results following quantitative and qualitative analysis of this pilot study show that users trust stereotype-congruent automated agents (male voice in office, female voice in home) more than stereotype-incongruent automated agents. These results shed light on users’ perceptions of trust with home automation devices, and provide directions for future research and development of trustworthy home automation devices.

AbstractThis study examines the role of social connections and network centrality in attracting funders to crowdfunding campaigns. We classify social connections as either external (e.g., Facebook) or internal (e.g., investing in online platforms through resource exchange). Drawing from the 108,463 crowdfunding campaigns on the online platform Kickstarter from April 21, 2009, to July 24, 2019, we apply external linkages and online followers to estimate the effect of external social connections. We construct a digraph network for the internal social connections and use PageRank, HITS, and centrality to obtain the weights of the nodes. Next, we compare the performance change of several prediction algorithms by feeding social connection-related variables. This study has several findings. First, for external social connections, having more online followers improves the funding success rate of a campaign. Second, for internal social connections, only authority and degree in centrality positively affect the number of funders and the campaign’s financing progress among the weights of the nodes. Third, using social connection variables improves the prediction algorithms for funding outcomes. Fourth, external social connections exert greater funding outcomes than internal social connections. Fourth, entrepreneurs should extend their external social connections to their internal social connections, and network centrality expedites project financing. Fifth, the effect of social connections on fundraising outcomes varies among the campaign categories. Fundraisers who are online influencers should leverage their online social connections, notably for the project categories that matter.

Smart House for general election is a means of political education from the Electoral Commission that provides information about elections from time to time. Hopefully there will be many voters who want to know about the Election through the Smart Home Elections. The purpose of the study was to analyze the role of the Semarang KPU Election Smart House as an election learning center for voters. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods, as well as data collection through in-depth interviews and direct obeservation. The informant of this research consists of the Secretariat and Commissioners, as well as visitors to the Kpu Election Smart House in Semarang City. Technical data analysis refers to miles and huberman models include, data reduction, data display and draw conclusions. The results showed that The Smart House of Kpu Semarang City elections conducts political education activities through audio visual rooms, showrooms, discussion rooms and simulation rooms. In addition, political education is carried out with radio, leaflets, web and social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube. Furthermore, make visits to schools and cooperate with universities. There are many obstacles faced in conducting political education influenced by inadequate human resources and limited budget.

Social health awareness in the context of medical prophylaxis influences the current trends in the design of modern domestic bathrooms. The importance of the health role of the modern bathroom also results from the current social and economic situation around the world, resulting in the need for independent health control and the developing need for medical prophylaxis, taking care of immunity and psychophysical condition in the face of public health threats. Therefore, it was necessary to investigate the health factors in bathroom design based on research and analysis of literature and materials from foreign research institutes. The study concerned design possibilities in the selection of bathroom equipment elements enabling a wide range of comfort and supporting and monitoring the health of bathroom users. The research included a review and analysis of technologically advanced solutions, intelligent solutions, including Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, ensuring health prophylaxis in the home bathroom. The potential for the use of innovative technologies and the possibility of process control, easy flow of information in relation to the external environment (e.g. remote contact with a doctor) was indicated. The need for easy and intuitive use of intelligent devices was taken into account, as well as the possibility of independent, systematic control and protection of health without the need for stationary medical visits, with a view to time and safety of healthcare professionals and patients. The research results summarize the fields of medicine where smart bathroom appliances can create new opportunities to improve user health.

Main Pattern

Despite technological advances, smart home concepts are not receiving widespread adoption. Small businesses that install and maintain heating, security and energy-saving systems could play a major role in bringing advanced technologies to home owners. However, the role of such small installer businesses in the smart living industry is generally overlooked in practice as well as academic literature. This paper studies challenges small installer businesses face when offering smart home and smart living services. A survey, as well as in-depth interviews, are conducted. A main pattern across the findings is that small installers, despite their potential role, are reluctant to be involved in the smart living industry. Lack of knowledge and entrepreneurial skills, limited sharing of knowledge and lack of cooperation hinder small installer businesses to offer smart living services.

Intelligent personal assistants (IPAs), also known as smart speakers, are becoming part of everyday life in more and more households around the world. Phone and household IPAs are integrated in intimate home contexts and require connections to (social) media profiles, user accounts, and domestic appliances. Users can control their household with voice-activated commands in order to make life more convenient and efficient. Yet, IPAs also bring privacy and surveillance concerns about devices “listening in,” the “platformization” of home life, and data security. Our exploratory mixed-methods study provides an in-depth and multidimensional account of users' privacy concerns around the emergence of IPAs in Dutch households. We differentiate between surveillance, security, and platform concerns, and our survey results indicate by which factors these are influenced. The focus group analysis highlights the role of conversation, recordability, locatability, control-ability, and assistance affordances. Our findings present a multidimensional and nuanced understanding of privacy concerns around household IPAs. We indicate how smart home technologies raise concerns about privacy, surveillance, device security, everyday behavior, and platform transparency, topics that demand urgent attention before the integration of IPAs will be fully normalized.
