A user-centric intelligent context-aware system for realizing internet-of-things environments

초록

In the near future, an Internet-of-things (IoT) environment will be realized across ubiquitous terminals such as computers and smartphones, supporting connections between people and machines. IoT platforms facilitate the deployment of various services to users; however, the information provided by these platforms is focused on the present state of things and environments. To realize a true IoT environment, there is a need for user-centric and seamless context-aware services as well as IoT control services based on environmental feedback. In this paper, we propose a dynamic mesh network configuration method to analyze real-time user context and provide seamless services, as well as a user context-aware abstraction mechanism. To evaluate the performance of the proposed system, we simulate a parking system, and then compare the performance to the best effort method, finding that performance was significantly improved. Thus, we expect that seamless context-aware services will become possible through the application of such methods.
