지금까지의 정보통신 서비스는 사용자에게 필요한 정보를 제공하거나 사용자와 사용자를 연결해주는 통로로서의 서비스를 제공하여 왔으나, 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅과 유비쿼터스 네트워크 기술을 기반으로 한 유비쿼터스 서비스는 사용자가 처한 상황에 기반하여 정보 제공은 물론 필요한 행위까지도 제공하여 사용자의 욕구에 가장 근접한 서비스 제공에 초점을 두는 컨시어지형 서비스가 될 것이다. 이러한 서비스는 사용자의 기호 및 상태, 또는 상황 등의 다양한 정보에 근거하여 서비스를 제공할 수 있어야 하며, 이를 위한 효과적인 접근 방법으로는 사용자의 다양한 정보를 각각의 대리자에게 처리를 하게 하는 멀티 에이전트 기술일 것이다. 본 연구에서는 음악이나 그림을 활용하여 신체적, 정신적 질환을 치료하는 음악 치료나 그림 치료인 Art-Therapy를 유비쿼터스 서비스의 구현 사례로 기술한다. 사용자의 신체적 또는 정신적 상태 및 환경 정보를 센서를 활용하여 측정하고 그 측정된 데이터에 근거하여 사용자의 상태를 판단하고 이에 따라 음악 및 미술 작품을 시청각으로 제공함으로써 치료 효과를 얻는다. 본 연구에서의 Art-Therapy 서비스는 FIPA에서 제안한 멀티 에이전트 기반 구조인 에이전트 플랫폼을 기반으로 구현하였다.

By gender, males had higher perceptions of para-language than females did in the qualities of the dental medical services, and by the level of education, college students and university graduates had higher perceptions of body language and physical appearance. Scores of service value, consumer satisfaction and customer loyalty were higher in males, college students and university graduates, and married patients, but those were not statistically significant. It turned out that the qualities of the dental medical services were correlated with service value, consumer satisfaction and consumer loyalty. As the perception of para-linguistic and verbal communication in the qualities of the medical services increased, service value increased; as the perception of verbal communication and physical appearance increased, consumer satisfaction increased; and as the perception of verbal communication, physical appearance and body language increased, consumer loyalty increased. To sum up the above findings, the qualities of dental medical services influence service value, consumer satisfaction and consumer loyalty, so in the future, it will be necessary to study quality dental medical services with which patients are satisfied.
