A new concept was proposed to achieve a goal that machine can proactively sense human information, such as physiological states, emotions and behaviors, and provide effective interventions for human and environment. The core of the concept is that machine senses human information proactively and spontaneously. The new concept was compared with a similar concept, ambient intelligence. The core and components of sentient city was elaborated based on the new concept. A coupling relation between information and devices was proposed. A platform of sentient city was constructed. The platform is centered on the core that machine proactively senses human information and environment can spontaneously adapt to human. The platform was compared with a platform proposed by IBM. An example of a chair was taken to illustrate how to achieve the goal that machine proactively senses human information, self-regulation of environment and make the environment fit human in a Sentient City.
