由於人們對於生活品質的要求日漸提升，使得智慧家庭的概念逐漸受到重視，其想法是利用家庭網路將科技與服務整合以得到高品質的生活；而本論文實現的系統不僅是把科技應用在生活中，更重要的是加入了人性化及人文的思維；以人文為出發點，將倫理教育以科技的方式帶入生活，以求增進個人品德；以實用性為設計考量，實現完整且周詳的系統來便利生活，提升生活品質；最後以人性化為目的，以最自然的方式讓使用者與科技互動，將生硬的科技轉化為生活的品味。
在技術方面，系統以多種非接觸式的生物特徵辨識為基礎，結合語音辨識技術，讓使用者在沒有任何受限的感覺之下以最自然的方式與系統互動，並可同時於門禁方面達到高層級的安全性；於系統實用面，加入日常生活中人們需要的全方位提醒功能及互動留言功能，搭配TTS技術創造出具方便性，同時也是最自然的使用環境；同時為了增加系統可用性，我們將主要系統介面架構於TCP/IP協定之上，以雲端運算架構將用戶端資料傳送至中央伺服器運算，並根據系統介面建構網頁伺服器，無論何時何地使用者只需藉由具有存取網頁能力的裝置，便能隨意地存取系統。

This thesis proposes and implements an intelligent porch system with indoor reminder and outdoor security, which are not only automation services, but also the realization of humanity and humanism. Humanism is explored to be a start point to infuse the ethic education within daily life to enhance personal moral. The practicality and usability are also the design considerations to achieve a reminder system for enhancing the quality of life. Furthermore, led by the humanity as design guide, we design a system allows users to interact with it in most natural way. The proposed system has been implemented and integrated with several techniques including non-contact biometric recognizers, infra-ray sensor, text-to-speech, door lock, email, wireless communication system, internet network, and cloud computing. Without any limitation, this work intends to make users interact with proposed reminding system and high-level security automation in the entrance.
