Toward a Person-Centric Context Aware System Wei Li liwei@dsv.su.se Department of Computer and Systems Sciences Stockholm University/Swedish Royal Institute of Technology Ubiquitous Computing and Context Aware Computing Goal: Providing user with interaction assistance by enabling computer systems a pervasive awareness of the user’s status. Trend: Integrate sensing, communication and computation into every aspect of people’s daily lives. Infrastructure-Centric Context-Aware Systems User relies on some shared infrastructure system for context sensing and services. User plays a passive role without full control Communication support No communication preference support (WLAN,GPRS, UMTS/3G) Poor tolerance for communication disruption Information management Stored over the network (consistency, misinterpretation) User information privacy System Architecture for Context-Aware Systems A Layered View A Person-Centric Context Aware System Goal: to maintain an independent and user controllable representation to different computer systems. Our Solution: build personal systems to reduce the dependency of public systems System Architecture Personal System (PS) : a central representation of the user. Context sensing only involves personal devices. Authorization is needed to allow access by untrusted parties. Three Identified Critical Issues Adaptive communication support Pervasive location sensing Privacy protection for context sharing Adaptive Communication Support Purpose: overcome disruption and support customization Using communication metadata An awareness of the ongoing communicating status Negotiation for changes Resumption of communication disruption A SIP-based implementation A Subscribe/Notify/Publish model for asynchronous context data delivery Parameters: timeout, frequency, format, etc. Working on applying to real-world situation A person-centric GSM positioning system Running on user’s mobile phone. User can define personal locations (customized location semant
