Monitoring-control system using multi-modal interaction agent in ubiquitous environment

Abstract

Multi-modal is a technology which can convert information to suitable format for the optimum communication between the system and the user. We should represent as modalities to contexts with the user and the environment for improved monitoring-control system in ubiquitous environment. Also, we need to context-awareness and multi-modal technologies for understanding contexts and providing suitable services. User's actions then are used as main information of context-awareness and multi-modal service. In order to constrain user's actions as basic ones and provide a good service by grasping each user's situation through context model, there needs a multi-modal interface and it makes for an agent with this to provide a multi-modal interaction service. Therefore, this paper presents a more improved monitoring-control system using a multi-modal interaction agent than existing one. © 2009 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
