An Intelligent Event-Driven Interface Agent for Interactive Digital Contents in Ubiquitous Environments

Abstract

Interactive digital contents in the field of networked media and ubiquitous computing enable the consumers to test the features of the product from their handheld computers as if they were using it in real life, by simulating the actions and responses of the product. This new type of digital content can be used extensively to make sales personnel training manuals, sales tools, user manuals and user trouble shooting documents. In this paper, we present the enhanced characteristics of the event flow chart with which the events in an intelligent event-driven interface agent for interactive digital contents in ubiquitous environments, named PlayMo-based agent, are structured. A tree structure can be formed from the array of options or functions. PlayMo-based agent generates the events and gives action commands according to this tree structure, allowing user to perfectly simulate the features and functions of a product simply and directly. The solution to provide intelligent interaction between human and digital contents makes it possible to recreate digital contents by bringing interactivity and intelligence into it.KeywordsUbiquitous ComputingDigital ContentProduct Data ManagementInterface AgentUbiquitous EnvironmentThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
