Abstract

In ubiquitous computing, most people need to track various sources of news using various devices, but it becomes difficult once there are more than a handful of sources. This is the reason for this is that users have to navigate to each page, load it, remember how it's formatted, and find where they last left off in the list. To solve these problems, many service providers provide RDF Site Summary documents. In this paper, we propose a newly designed news service using RSS and VoiceXML. RSS is an XML format that supports the syndication of news stories and similar content. There are several different formats for XML syndication that are referred to as RSS. Since RSS is in XML format, turning it into VoiceXML is easy and the synergy benefits of binding RSS and VXML are great. VoiceXML is a non-proprietary, web-based markup language for creating vocal dialogues between humans and computers. In this paper, we first focus on binding RSS and VXML, and RSS feed parsing. As a result of this research, we implement enhanced real time news service. People can use our service with their wired and wireless phone at any time, at any place. Also, we validate usability by comparing a typical RSS service scenario and typical VoiceXML service scenario, and calculating user's satisfaction.
