A Lightweight Location System for Sentient Artefacts
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a location sensing system “Spreha” for sentient artefacts. Our approach towards context awareness is to use sensor augmented daily life objects for context sensing. Some of these artefacts are static in nature, like a cabinet, a bed, a refrigerator, etc. The basic idea in Spreha is to use these static artefacts as reference points for identifying the artefacts that are mobile in nature like a chair, a watch, a lamp, etc. This paper discusses about the architecture and current status of Spreha with illustrations on the performance.

Exploiting Passive Advantages of Sentient Artefacts
Sentient artefacts are our everyday life objects augmented with various sensors for value added services. We have been exploiting these artefacts for perceiving user context and proving proactive context aware services while keeping their natural appearances and roles intact. From our observations of these artefacts we have identified two passive advantages besides their explicit value added fu...
متن کاملExperiences with Building Intelligent Environment through Sentient Artefacts
Sentient artefacts are everyday objects augmented with digital services. Being the building blocks of our surroundings, these artefacts can incrementally integrate computing into environment and can convert it into an intelligent one economically. In this paper, we report our experiences with sentient artefacts to rationalize intelligent environment. We discuss the design principles of sentient...
متن کاملLiving with Sentient Artefacts
In this paper, we present the notion of “sentient artefact” and its integration. Sentient artefacts mediate implicit and natural context extraction as well as low cost deployment of a smart environment. The most important advantage is that its state-of-use naturally extracts a user’s activity context because such an everyday artefact has inherent roles and functionalities. Moreover, a sentient ...
متن کاملProttoy: A Middleware for Sentient Environment
Our approach towards context awareness is to retrieve contextual information by augmenting our daily life objects (like a chair, a mirror etc.) with sensing capabilities. We call such artefacts sentient artefacts. To avoid developing dedicated context-aware application integrating these artefacts, there is a need for a generic computing platform that can assist application programmers to develo...
متن کاملSentient Computing for Everyone
Sentient Computing gives perception to computing systems so that they can detect, interpret and respond to changing aspects of user contexts. The location attribute of a user’s context is of special interest because it makes humancomputer interactions more natural. In the last few years, several sophisticated indoor location technologies, which can track user whereabouts, have been developed. H...
