Design and Implementation of Location-Aware Smart Phone-based Theater Guide System

This research aims to develop practical location-based services that provide users with personalized theater guide services on smart phones. In this research, we have designed and implemented a smart theater guide system for Deahakro, Seoul based on smart phones incorporating GPS. This system first identifies the current position using GPS, and maps the current position onto the map. It is designed and implemented to provide users with personalized information service about the plays and the theaters nearby the current position. It is also optimized to be useful effectively by performing on-site experiments.
