Abstract

In this paper, we propose a way to retrieve and invoke ubiquitous objects within our living spaces by our behavior. Accumulations of GPS location information collected by a tiny program on a user’s cellular phone are organized into a structure which represents the user’s spatial behavior. This representation provides ubiquitous computing environment with assumptions about the user’s movement in one-day duration, and allow them to act for the predicted future locations of the user. Since this knowledge representation about the user’s daily route is a key to invoke ubiquitous objects by her/his current spatial behavior, we call it “Behavior-based Personal Controller” or “BPC”.A learning algorithm to organize the Behavior-based Personal Controller and a mechanism of the BPC’s invoking networked ubiquitous objects are detailed in this paper.
