A ubiquitous refers to the integration of the existing documentation. cyber space, and high-tech digital technology into a wireless terminal through ubiquitous computing and network technology. With the ubiquitous environment, a library and museum can extend its roles and functions all the more, and expectedly results in internal and external great changes. The purpose of this study was to examine the changed forms and contents of a ubiquitous-library/museum. Specially, We wished to forecast change that occur in museum user service and government official management side.

유비쿼터스환경에서 뮤지엄을 인류의 지식을 담은 보고로 볼 때, 앞으로 미래박물관의 서비스는 관람자에게 제공되는 관람 인터페이스의 질에 좌우될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 Storytelling Digital Museum의 개념으로 가상박물관과 실제박물관의 결합된 상태에서 관람자와 박물관 학예사 사이에 매개 역할을 하는 대리인-Avatar를 내장한 전시미디어의 개발방안을 연구하고 이것이 활용될 수 있는 환경을 구축하기 위한 방안으로 현존하는 요소기술 제시와 함께 이러한 요소기술을 어떻게 조합해서 만들어낼 것인가 하는 개념을 제시할 것이다. IT서비스환경에서 새로운 방식의 Virtual Museum을 제시할 것이다.

Today, many museums are changing their forms with ubiquitous environment. Unlike traditional museums providing only static text-based information attached to its corresponding artifacts to visitors, those ubiquitous museums provide not only artifacts' text information, but also many different forms of information such as sound or media through personal digital assistance or cell phones. However, these existing ubiquitous museums still provide each visitor only with artifact-centric information in very simple ways. Also this disadvantageous feature causes high gallery congestion problem resulting from providing a uniform path for every visitor. These limitations may be the biggest barrier to providing more various and useful information about artifacts to visitors through considering each visitor's preference. This paper propose a new optimal viewing path search algorithm to provide comfortable museum viewing for each visitor according to its preference. Also, a new congestion control method is developed to protect visitors from being put in some hot spots on their museum viewing, improving its comfort to a maximum.

최근 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅을 지원하는 박물관들이 구축되어, 이를 기반으로 관람자에게 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공하기 위한 시스템들이 개발되고 있다. 하지만 대부분의 시스템들이 모바일 장비 자체에 정보를 저장하여 제공하기 때문에 전시관내에 국한된 서비스를 받게 되어 관람자와의 양방향 커뮤니케이션이 어렵고 관람정보를 효율적으로 활용할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 모바일 장비인 PDA와 RFID 기술을 사용하여 관람정보를 실시간으로 서비스 받을 수 있고, 웹과 연동하여 개인화된 관람정보를 효율적으로 활용할 수 있는 유비쿼터스 박물관 관람 지원 PDMA(Personal Digital Museums Assistants)를 개발한다.

This paper presents a design and implementation of U-Seum(Ubiquitous Museum) system based on the LBS(Location Based Service) and mobile augmented reality technique. The mobile services under the smart space of the ubiquitous environments have been expanded in the various fields. In this study, we introduce U-Seum which supports tourists in the museum. U-Seum is developed by use of the position tracking technique based on Wi-Fi and mobile augmented reality. The GPS which is widely used in the position tracking has a difficulty to be utilized in the inside of the building because it requires the Line-of-Sight between a sender and a receiver. Therefore, in this paper, we develop a realtime tour-supported service through experience and evaluate the performance of the system in the world famous UNESCO's Hwa-Seong Museum by measuring the distance from the Wi-Fi signal which is suitable to track the position interior of the museum. U-Seum provides various push services such as mobile augmented reality service for explanation of the artifacts of the museum, game services and the statistics information of the tourist when the tourist approach a specific AP. U-Seum is developed in the Haw-Seong Museum by the support of the Swon Haw-Seong Cultural Foundation. With a field test, we prove that the excellence and expandability of the system.

This article attempts to define identity, role and functions of a university museum and to suggest specialization of the university museum in the perspective of culture, arts, and science. A university museum is defined as a center for the service of the university community and its development which acquires, researches, communicates, exhibits and educates, for purposes of eduinfotainment,29 material evidence of people and their environment. The target user of the today's university museum are not only professors, students, university workers, but also university neighbourhood such as the related professionals, patrons, parents, school children and villagers. A multi-dimensional and multi-purpose university museum can be established and managed in a real world and / or a cyber world in the perspective of culture, arts, and science. Based on a ubiquitous system30 in a cyber world vis-a-vie a real world, the university museum can be easily utilized by users anywhere, anytime and any device. In order to specialize the university museum in the perspective of culture, arts and science, it is desirable that the university museum director with the CEO of the university community promote the specialization of the university museum based on philosophy and strategies of university community management after they definitely evaluate the components and resources of the university museum such as human powers, museum collections, organizational, technological, capital, spacial and symbolic resources, The specialization of the university museum should be projected and executed in the direction of maintaining the typical scope of museum activities and managing the effective museum management. Specializing the university museum in the perspective of culture, arts, and science can contribute not only to establish the identity of the university community and to perform role and functions of the university museum but also to encourage academic development, to revaluate the brand of the university community and to promote the marketing for the university.

Recently many research reports on effective use of mobile devices for museums to provide information on displayed artifacts providing individualized learning space, collaborative learning, and discovery learning, Such devices have many possibilities to support learning as a participatory media and social network. Mobile devices are used, however, limited for its usability and lack in providing expected learning experiences. It offers one-way interaction and they are often limited in providing customized services for different patrons to experience learning and entertainment. In this research, we have adopted user centered design approach to identify the needs and possible usage of PDA system in the museum. Research methods include contextual observation and inquiry with symbolic interactionism for qualitative research and its epistemology. We have developed conceptual model with scenario and storyboard method, and developed vertical prototype with Flash.

Ubiquitous computing and mobile technologies provide much scope for designing innovative learning experiences that can take place in a variety of indoor and outdoor settings, such as botanical gardens, parks, museums and classrooms. In this paper, we present our own innovative work for bridging indoor and outdoor field-trip learning activities with the support of RFID with reader device on ubiquitous environments. The function of our system is based on strategically located RFID tags placed on objects around settings which are identified using the mobile device installed to an RFID reader. The mobile device reads the RFID tag and sends the learner's request to the field-trip learning system. And learners can be learning activities according to theirs learning levels. We also focus on the use of intelligent agents to customize learning contents for individual learners. The result of our experiment indicates that learner enjoyed learning where mobile devices are used in the system, supporting the learning activities in the context of which they are taking place.

최근 정보통신 기술의 급속한 발전으로 인간과 컴퓨팅간의 응용 융합 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서도 증강 현실 기술 분야는 인간이 보고 느끼는 현실감을 극대화 하여 인간의 실세계를 가상세계로 아주 잘 표현하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 유비쿼터스 기술을 기반으로 원하는 시간에, 원하는 지역에서, 원하는 정보를 제공받으며 온도나 감촉을 느끼고, 향기를 맡는 등 실제 체감하는 것과 똑같이 여행할 수 있도록 오감인식과 증강현실 기술을 이용한 여행체험 증강 현실이 가능한 설계를 제안한다. 이를 통해 앞으로는 여행하기 위하여 많은 돈과 시간을 들이지 않고도 원하는 지역을 3차원 전용체험관에서 여행할 수 있으며, 어린이 혹은 청소년들이 세계적 박물관을 관람할 경우 현실보다 더 실재감 있고, 현실보다 더 풍부한 정보를 얻을 수 있으므로 유용하게 활용할 것으로 기대한다.
