Abstract
In this study, we develop a system called an “e-time capsule,” where a “time capsule” event for students to put their mementos into a container, bury it in the school yard, and dig it out in a certain time later and open it is achieved on the cloud. The students’ image data of the daily scenes in their classrooms and their products in classes, which are collected using a mobile device, are stored in a server located in the classrooms. The schedule of opening the time capsule is determined based on an agreement by all students of the class at the time when the capsule is buried. In Japan, a time capsule is often opened at the time of coming-of-age ceremonies when the participants attend a coming-of-age ceremony at the age of 20, also as a way of a reunion. In the system which is developed through this study, the opening event is achieved by distributing the data to the smart phones of the students who come to the reunion venue. This paper addresses the data collection and storage using mobile devices of the students.
