Context-aware fun and games with Bluetooth
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bluetooth-enabled devices are everywhere and in everyday use by a large number of mobile phone users. Harnessing this communication channel for a context-aware system has proved to be a useful step forward in providing simple games, fun events and targeted advertising based on the awareness of the user’s location. As part of a wider project the authors have produced a system that allows users to download information based on Global positioning (GPS) inputs on moving server platforms within public transport. The project has also tied “context” to information to send information to users via the same platform based in a static system for applications such as guided trails and tours in open spaces.

متن کاملUsing a Mobile Phone as a "Wii-like" Controller for Playing Games on a Large Public Display
Undoubtedly the biggest success amongst the recent games console releases has been the launch of the Nintendo Wii. This is arguably due to its most innovative attribute—the wireless controller or “Wiimote.” The Wiimote can be used as a versatile game controller, able to detect motion and rotation in three dimensions which allows for very innovative game play. Prior to the Wii, and with much les...
متن کاملMoviltooth: context-aware system for mobile phones based on bluetooth technology
Nowadays the amount of accessible information across Internet is enormous. Context-aware systems try to filter and to adapt that information to the environment of the user who requests it. This paper introduces a context-aware system that uses the physical location of the request origin. The system is designed for mobile devices using Bluetooth radio-frequency technology for data transfer and l...
