Abstract

Contrary to ubiquitous environments, indoor computing environments like home network doesn't support user mobility. This paper suggests UPnP A/V multimedia system using prediction of mobility for adaption of seamless multimedia service. The multimedia system enables indoor mobile users to play multimedia contents by transferring the current session to an adjacent device automatically. The system represents users' contextual information by Five Ws and One H model, and predicts user's movements by using contextual information and transitions of locations. The prediction basically includes multiple locations so that it improves accuracy of prediction. We evaluated the suggested system using in accuracy of prediction, time for prediction, handover time for service, and the system showed that adapt ion of seamless multimedia service was enabled by using prediction of mobility on mobile user.

사용자의 이동성을 제공하는 유비쿼터스 환경과 달리 홈 네트워크와 같은 실내 컴퓨팅 환경에서는 사용자 이동성이 제공되지 않는다. 본 논문은 다양한 단말 장치에서 끊김 없는 멀티미디어 서비스 적응을 위해 사용자 이동 예측을 이용하는 UPnP A/V 멀티미디어 시스템을 제안한다. 본 시스템은 실내에서 이동 중인 사용자에게 이동 중 인접 장치로 세션을 자동으로 옮겨 사용자가 끊김 없이 멀티미디어 서비스를 받을 수 있게 한다. 이를 위해 사용자 상황정보를 6하 원칙으로 표현하고 이 상황정보와 이동 경로 정보를 바탕으로 사용자 이동을 예측한다. 이때 하나 이상의 이동 위치를 예측하여 기본적으로 예측 정확도를 높였다. 그리고 제안한 시스템에 대하여 사용자 이동성의 예측 정확도, 예측에 걸리는 시간, 예측을 통해 사용자에게 서비스하는데 걸리는 시간을 평가하여 이동 사용자의 이동 예측으로 끊김 없는 멀티미디어 서비스 적응을 제공할 수 있음을 보였다.
