A Context-Aware Guide for a Museum Using Bluetooth Wireless Technology1

چکیده
Bluetooth is a promising wireless technology which allowed electronic devices to be instantly interconnected into short-range ad hoc networks. This paper presents a “proof of concept” experiment relative to the use of the Bluetooth wireless technology to provide network support for context-aware applications. We develop a context-aware guide for a museum using Bluetooth as a defacto radio interface. We describe the steps taken to create a Bluetooth based context-aware application. Finally we evaluate using a small test-bed the overall performance of this technology when adopted in this specific area.

This paper evaluates the use of Bluetooth and Java based technologies in ubiquitous computing environments. Ubiquitous computing strongly depends on leveraging appropriate contextual information to users, according to their preferences and the environment in which they reside. We present UbiqMuseum – an experimental context-aware application that provides context-aware information to museum vis...
متن کاملmi-Guide : A Wireless Context Driven Information System for Museum Visitors
The growth in wireless and mobile communications technologies offers many new opportunities for museums who are constantly striving to improve their overall visitor experience. There is considerable interest in the use of context-aware services to track visitors as they move around a museum gallery so that exhibit information can be delivered and personalised to the visitor. In this paper we pr...
متن کاملContext-aware Modeling for Spatio-temporal Data Transmitted from a Wireless Body Sensor Network
Context-aware systems must be interoperable and work across different platforms at any time and in any place. Context data collected from wireless body area networks (WBAN) may be heterogeneous and imperfect, which makes their design and implementation difficult. In this research, we introduce a model which takes the dynamic nature of a context-aware system into consideration. This model is con...
متن کاملIntegrating Privacy Enhancing Services in Ubiquitous Computing Environments
With the advances in pervasive wireless communications (such as GSM, WaveLAN, Bluetooth, etc.) and context-aware and ‘smart room’ prototypes (GUIDE [1], AT&T’s Sentient Computing [2], Oxygen [3], Easy Living [4], the Aware Home [5], etc.), Mark Weiser’s vision of ubiquitous computing seems closer than ever to reality. However, only until such systems are widely deployed and integrated with our ...
متن کاملInteractive Museum Guide
In this paper, we describe the prototype of an interactive museum guide. It runs on a tablet PC that features a touchscreen, a webcam and a Bluetooth receiver. This guide recognises objects on display in museums based on images of the latter which are taken directly by the visitor. Furthermore, the computer can determine the visitor’s location by receiving signals emitted from Bluetooth senders...
