Abstract :
In this paper, we propose the method to recognize daily actions of the elderly in detail. We recognize how the elderly did the action with analysis of sensing information on location, touched objects and gravity direction. It is useful for judging height of living willingness of the elderly. It also facilitate detection of the symptom showing the elderly come to be cared. It contributes that the elderly continue independent life for long time.
