Smart Space-Based in-Vehicle Application for e-Tourism - Technological Framework and Implementation for Ford SYNC

Recently, the development of in-vehicle services has become more and more popular. Many people spend a lot of time in vehicles and producers propose new in-vehicles systems to provide information for drivers and entertain them. Drivers travel from one location to another and usually would like to know information about places of interests around. Integration of e-tourism services with vehicle multimedia system opens new possibilities for delivering useful information about places of interests around to the driver. The paper presents a technological framework and implementation of mobile tourist guide and in-vehicle system integration (on the example of Ford SYNC system). The system consists of several services that find, extract and process potentially useful for the tourist information about places of interests around and provide it through user-friendly vehicle interface. The smart space technology is used for providing interaction possibilities and interoperability of these service.
