Design and performance analysis of multimedia teachware making system using 2D barcode

Abstract

With the development of information-communication infrastructure such as Internet, multimedia teachwares in good use of this infrastructure have been developed and serviced in all subjects of all school years in Korea. But there are some drawbacks. Using these multimedia teachwares requires studying and training. Even after that, it is still sophisticated to search information and make it one's own useful materials. For purpose of overcoming these challenges and maximizing the access and applicability of multimedia teachware, a new system was suggested in this study which combined 2D barcode of ubiquitous technology and the URL(Uniform Resource Location) of multimedia teachware. Performance analysis demonstrates that this system is superior to existing one, and that the minimization of time for bridging the multimedia contents to 2D barcode enables the optimization of performance of the suggested system. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
