Real-time Mobile-Cloud Computing for Context- Aware Blind Navigation

Context-awareness is a critical aspect of safe navigation, especially for the blind and visually impaired in unfamiliar environments. Existing mobile devices for context-aware navigation fall short in many cases due to their dependence on specific infrastructure requirements as well as having limited access to resources that could provide a wealth of contextual clues. In this paper, we propose ...

Context-Aware Computing System for Heterogeneous Applications

It is a very important to develop context-aware systems that can handle, at the same time, multiple heterogeneous applications that require different contexts with different levels of abstraction. This paper proposes a framework for such systems. To handle the heterogeneity of the context required by the applications, we introduce a user activity context detection method based on the combinatio...

Context-Aware Emergency Remedy System Based on Pervasive Computing

This study proposed a Context-Aware emergeNcy rEmedy system (CANE), based on the operations of a real hospital, to provide complete and convenient functions for emergency processes and medical consultants using mobile communication networks. The CANE system combines emergency medical services with GIS/GPS technology, mobile multimedia communications and context-aware controls. The CANE system l...
