Abstract

As the collected information which is static or dynamic is infinite in ubiquitous computing environments, information overload and invasion of privacy have been pressing issues in the recommendation service. In this study, we propose a recommendation service procedure through P2P, The P2P helps customer to obtain effective and secure product information because of communication among customers who have the similar preference about the products without connection to server. To evaluate the performance of the proposed recommendation service, we utilized real transaction and product data of the Korean mobile company which service character images. We developed a prototype recommender system and demonstrated that the proposed recommendation service makes an effect on recommending product in the ubiquitous environments. We expect that the information overload and invasion of privacy will be solved by the proposed recommendation procedure in ubiquitous environment.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서는 정적 및 동적인 상황 정보의 양이 무한대로 늘어나게 됨에 따라, 추천서비스에 있어서 정보 과부하 문제와 프라이버시 침해 문제가 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 서버와의 교신 없이 고객 중심의 자체적인 정보처리와 고객들간 직접 커뮤니케이션을 통하여, 효율적이고 안전한 정보 획득이 가능하도록 P2P방식의 협업을 통하여 선호도가 유사한 다른 고객들의 상품에 대한 평가정보가 전달되는 추천서비스를 제안하였다. 제안한 추천방식은 협업필터링의 기본 법칙을 따르고 있지만, 현재 센서 네트워크에 접속해 있는 전체 고객를 대상으로 이웃 고객을 탐색하는 방법대신에 목표 고객 주위의 가까운 이웃을 지역적으로 탐색하는 방법을 채택하여 성능의 저하없이 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 실시간 추천이 가능하도록 하였다. 또한 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 적용가능한 프로토타입의 통합 네트워크 시스템의 구현을 통해 실세계 상점에서 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 기술의 활용 가능성을 제시하였다. 마지막으로 실제 모바일 회사의 데이터를 이용한 실험을 통하여 그 특징을 제시함으로써 향후 유비쿼터스 서비스 애플리케이션의 범용적인 추천모델을 제공하고자 한다.
