Abstract

One target of a ubiquitous computing environment is to aid usersin getting necessary information and services in a situation-dependentform. We proposed a location- and orientation-basedinformation support system using the Compact Battery-lessInformation Terminal (CoBIT). The CoBIT is a small, low costcommunication terminal that uses only energy from theinformation carrier and the user. We realized an example ofCoBIT, which downloads sound information and uploads users'positions and orientations along with signs from users. This paperemphasizes the importance of focusing on event space as a firststep toward realizing ubiquitous information support. We proposethe use of CoBIT as a common terminal. Thereby, serviceembedded interactive map supported by various types of sensorsand displays will be proposed to enhance benefits of the CoBIT.
