In order to increase the safety of autonomous elderly people in their home, Ambient Assisted Living technologies are currently emerging. Namely, the recognition of their activities might be a way to detect eventual health problems, and can be performed in a Smarthome equipped with binary sensors. Hence, this communication aims at providing means to automatically generate a formal model of the Activities of Daily Living. A data mining approach in order to discover frequent habits of the observed inhabitant from a database of sequences of sensor events is proposed. Those frequent habits are then formally modelled using finite automata, leading to the construction of a map of habits mirroring the behaviour of the inhabitant. Such a model could then be used for online identification of habits, and even predictions of the upcoming behaviour. Results obtained on a case study are also presented.
