A Pattern for Context-Aware Navigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Navigation systems nowadays have become ubiquitous, with many users relaying on them to find on-the-fly directions to new locations. With current advances in technology, modern navigation systems augment navigation directions with new information ranging from traffic, tolls, accidents and any other issue that could lead to delays in a given route, to social network aspects such as schedule, friends, to weather alerts. This paper presents an architectural pattern for context-based navigation, that describes an abstract way to integrate context information with the navigation process. This pattern applies to user navigation in any environments where context is relevant, not only to driving navigation. Someone could apply this pattern for driving navigation, indoor navigation, navigation using public transportation, robotic navigation, and so on. An example with contextual navigation on a university campus illustrates how the pattern can be used.

Context-Aware Personal Navigation Using Embedded Sensor Fusion in Smartphones
Context-awareness is an interesting topic in mobile navigation scenarios where the context of the application is highly dynamic. Using context-aware computing, navigation services consider the situation of user, not only in the design process, but in real time while the device is in use. The basic idea is that mobile navigation services can provide different services based on different contexts...
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...

Context-awareness is a critical aspect of safe navigation, especially for the blind and visually impaired in unfamiliar environments. Existing mobile devices for context-aware navigation fall short in many cases due to their dependence on specific infrastructure requirements as well as having limited access to resources that could provide a wealth of contextual clues. In this paper, we propose ...

Access control in open and dynamic Pervasive Computing Environments (PCEs) is a very complex mechanism and encompasses various new requirements. In fact, in such environments, context information should be used in access control decision process; however, it is not applicable to gather all context information completely and accurately all the time. Thus, a suitable access control model for PCEs...

A central feature of ubiquitous computing applications is their capability to automatically react on context changes so as to support users in their mobility. Such context awareness relies on models of specific use contexts, embedded in ubiquitous computing environments. However, since most such models are based merely on location and identity parameters, context-aware applications seldom cater...
