In this paper, we propose an IoT-enabled solution for tour photography services with small-size investment and resources in the travel and tourism industries, being able to impact on economic, social, and cultural values. An IoT-enabled camera is developed based on an open hardware and software platform complying with oneM2M, which can make traditional embedded systems oneM2M-compliant devices due to a middleware solution called TAS (thing adaptation software). IoT cameras deployed around photo zones in a tour site could be remotely controlled via an IoT gateway with a Web-based application on a smartphone. Users would perform a pan and tilt camera control if they want and then take and download a perfect photo picture (even though they are away from the tour site). We expect that the proposed solution will promote the deployment IoT-enabled technologies in tour and travel industries which are important parts of the tertiary sector.

본 논문에서 구현한 경량단말을 활용한 이종 박물관 관람 환경별 최적의 적응적 관광 서비스 제공 모듈은 서로 다른 박물관을 관람하는 상황에 맞춰 그 관람객에게 가장 적합한 서비스를 제공을 해주는 모듈이다. 종래의 박물관 관람 형태는 사용자가 박물관에서 나누어준 하드카피 형태의 팜플렛 또는 가이드 안내에만 의존한 관람 형태이고, 주제별 아이템에 관한 상세 정보도 현장에 배치된 안내물을 보던가, 박물관에서 대여형태로 제공하는 오디오 장비만을 활용 하는 수준이며, 특히나 제한된 시간내에 대형 박물관을 관람해야 하는 경우 자신이 관심있는 것만 볼 수 없는 환경이다. 본 논문에서 소개될 이 모듈은 가상화 기술과 경량 단말을 활용하여 대형 박물관 또는 미술관등을 방문한 관람객에게 본인에게 맞는 최적의 관람 서비스를 제공한다. 좀더 자세하게는 대형 박물관에서 이 모듈이 사용되는 경우 넓은 공간에 무수히 많은 작품들이 전시되어 있는 상황에서 가용한 관광시간에 본인이 보고자 하는 것들만 추천받아볼 수 있도록 도와줄 수 있고, 최소한의 원가를 들여서 제작된 경량 스마트 단말을 통하여 해당 작품에 대해 상세한 부가 정보를 제공받아 박물관의 관람효과를 극대화 할 수 있도록 도와준다.
