An application of an agent space connecting real space and digital space

Abstract

Using the ICT and the ubiquitous technology, very convenient services have been provided for users daily and widely. However, users feel a heavy burden on finding information they need at each situation rapidly, because the important information may hide in enormous useless information in the Internet. In this paper, we discuss an Agent Space that consists of Personal Assistant Agents, Service Agents and Resource Connect Agents that control devices/data/programs by requests from Personal Agents and Service Agents. The Personal Agents has vocal interface functions and pose recognition function to dynamically watching over users' activities, in order to make the ubiquitous information system user-centric.
