Abstract

In this demonstration, we will show a context-aware information system intended for mobile users. The demonstration involves special-purpose hardware devices, called 'context tags', which can work with mobile devices such as mobile phones, to provide ambient information to users on the move. Key to the framework is special support for content service providers, through software that allows existing content to be delivered seamlessly to mobile devices, as and when it is needed by users. The demonstration will show how these components work together to provide an effective ambient information system for mobile users.
