MoidEx: Location-based mTourism system on mobile devices
Résumé
Tourism is a strong and important economic factor
for many countries around the world. In the context of ubiquitous
computing, tourism became a valuable application area which
resulted in a broad range of business solutions. In this category,
one can find solutions that provide navigation support for outdoor
activities or point of interest (e.g., landmarks or restaurants)
information for unknown places. Related to this, the paper
introduces a location based mTourism system on mobile devices
that supports tourists in gathering information about unknown
buildings in foreign cities. In contrast to available systems, the
framework analyzes the image on the device and sends only an
MPEG-7 instance document which allows to save bandwidth and
in series cost.
