Abstract

We propose a graphical BBS which can handle the user's current location. In the system, a BBS room is related to a real object. Each BBS comment has a valid time and an influence area decided automatically. The user's location then influences the system based on the user's movements to display comments on the user's screen. The influence area changes according to external events such as emergencies to express the importance and area of effect of the comment at the present time. Furthermore, we discuss the implement issues of the prototype system.
