Abstract

Mobile tour guide applications help tourists to search for and visit their surrounding POIs(Points of Interest) of their locations and to obtain their guide information. With the development of wearable devices like smart watches and wearable glasses, people using multiple mobile devices are increasing; a tourist may use a hand-held device, a wearable device or both to obtain tour information. However, most mobile tour guides using mobile devices provide the tour information with little consideration of their hand-held and wearable characteristics. In particular, a tourist with multiple mobile devices who search for the tour information from multiple mobile devices must input their intention separately to each device. To alleviate these problems, we propose a mobile tour guide system with the following features: one is to reduce redundant user input by sharing the touring context between hand-held and wearable devices; the other is to present tour information according to capabilities and usage pattern of the devices. The proposed system guides tourists by complementing disadvantage of the devices and also minimizes user interaction between applications and tourists.

모바일 투어 가이드 어플리케이션은 여행 정보를 제공하여 여행자가 여행 중에 주변의 관심 지점(POI; Point of Interest) 을 검색하고 찾아갈 수 있도록 돕는다. 최근 모바일 컴퓨팅 기술이 발전하면서 핸드헬드 디바이스와 웨어러블 디바이스를 여행 정보 검색에 활용하는 사용자가 늘어나고 있지만, 모바일 투어 가이드 어플리케이션들은 디바이스의 특성을 고려하지 않고 여행 정보를 제공한다. 특히 이들 투어 가이드 어플리케이션들은 여행 상황을 공유하지 않기 때문에 여러 모바일 디바이스를 이용하는 여행자는 각각의 디바이스에 여행자의 검색 의도를 별도로 입력해야 하고, 동기화된 여행 정보를 제공받지 못한다. 이러한 문제들을 개선하기 위해 본 논문에서는 디바이스의 특성에 따라 여행 정보를 제공하고 여행 상황을 공유하는 모바일 투어 가이드 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 핸드헬드 디바이스와 안경형 웨어러블 디바이스를 이용하여 여행자에게 여행 정보를 제공하고, 각각의 디바이스가 가진 단점을 상호 보완하면서 여행자를 안내한다. 또한 제안된 시스템은 각각의 디바이스들에 설치된 어플리케이션 사이에 여행 상황을 공유하여 여행자의 입력을 최소화하고, 여행 상황에 맞는 여행 정보를 제공한다.
