Navigational - and shopping assistance on the basis of user interactions in intelligent environments
Christoph Stahl · 2005
This paper presents an overview about ongoing work in the project REAL, where we have set up the Saarland University Pervasive Instrumented Environment (SUPIE). In particular we introduce the intelligent environment’s architecture, which serves as the basis for different services and applications running in the environment and supporting their users in different task. On the basis of this information we outline our user and location-modeling component needed to establish the navigational – and shopping-assistants developed so far. Both assistants support their users with especially customized presentations. These presentations will be automatically scheduled and presented on public displays in the environment, as explained in the remarks about the presentation manager. Finally, we provide a short outlook on planned future work in the project.
