Abstract

Smart environments, such as smart cities and streets, contain various heterogeneous devices and content that provide information to users and interact with each other. In a smart environment, appropriate content should be provided based on the situations of users. Additionally, when a user is in motion, it is necessary to provide content in a seamless manner without interruption. A method for systematically controlling the delivery of such content is required. Therefore, we propose a content service platform to meet the needs discussed above. The content service platform supports the delivery of content and events between different devices, as well as the control of content. Context-aware technology can also be applied to support customized content. In this paper, we present an architectural model, a contextual reasoning process, and case study on applying content service platform to a smart street environment. The proposed content service platform applied as a base model to support the provision of user-specific content in smart environments.

Highlights

  • Smart environments, such as smart cities and streets [1,2,3,4], are rapidly emerging due to popularization of smart devices, such as smart phones and tablets, as well as the development of IoT [5, 6], cloud [7, 8], and networking technologies [9].In a smart environment, various contents must be delivered to users through natural interactions between the devices that constitute the smart environment, without being recognized by the users

  • In ISO/ IEC JTC 1/SC 27/WG 5 [23], international standards related to personal information are currently being developed. is group has developed the Privacy Framework (ISO/IEC 29100) [24], the Privacy Impact Assessment (ISO/IEC 29134) [25], the Rules for the Protection of Personal Data (ISO/IEC 29151) [26], the Requirements and Directives related to the Privacy Framework (ISO/IEC 277010) [27], and international standards such as userfriendly online notice and consent (ISO/IEC 29184) [28], current smart city privacy guidelines (ISO/IEC 27570) [29], and a framework for establishing personal information deletion procedures (ISO/IEC 27555) [30]. ese standards are under continuous development

Summary

Introduction

Smart environments, such as smart cities and streets [1,2,3,4], are rapidly emerging due to popularization of smart devices, such as smart phones and tablets, as well as the development of IoT [5, 6], cloud [7, 8], and networking technologies [9]. Various contents must be delivered to users through natural interactions between the devices that constitute the smart environment, without being recognized by the users. When a user enters a smart street area, it is necessary to provide them with content that is specific to the smart street environment, such as information, entertainment, and advertisement, through interactions between the user’s mobile device and a fixed device. Additional research on the configuration of smart environments is currently underway, but many of the studies being conducted are dependent on specific domains, such as smart homes and cities [1,2,3,4, 13]. It is necessary to provide appropriate content services based on user tendencies, with consideration for changes in user locations, as well as the current time and surrounding environment. Erefore, we propose a content service platform that can provide users with seamless content services, even when they leave the vicinity of the device that is providing the content in a smart environment, and recommend useroriented content services that are suitable for the surrounding environment
