Location Based Services and Museum Information Systems

摘要

The development of computer technology, mobile devices and sensor technology during the past 30 years has continually affected the creation of new applications based on emergent technologies. By combining the advantages of established technologies with these new approaches and furthermore adapting those criteria to different user needs and application scenarios, including the location of users, we are able to extend existing applications with new mobile components and services. The main focus of this paper is to describe the design of mobile multimedia indoor information systems and context-sensitive services based on a RFID sensor network in museums and passive RFID tags. In order to cover a wide range of applications a standard system architecture was developed.
