Abstract
This paper presents a basic configuration of a system that provides dynamic delivery of full-motion video while following target users in ubiquitous computing environments. The proposed system is composed of multiple computer displays with radio frequency identification (RFID) tag readers, which are automatically connected to a network via IP, and RFID tags worn by users and some network servers. We adopted a passive tag RFID system. The delivery of full-motion video uses adaptive broadcasting. The system can continuously deliver streaming data, such as full-motion video, to the display, through the database and the streaming server on the network, moving from one display to the next as the user moves through the network. Because it maintains the information about the user’s location in real time, it supports the user wherever he or she is, without requiring a conscious request to obtain their information. This paper describes a prototype implementation of this framework and a practical application.
