Mobile Systems for Guidance of Dependant People : Integration of User requirements and Location Based Services

This work deals with the problem of personal localization and guidance for impaired people. The authors analyze the user’s requirements of two groups: elderly and visually impaired people. The goal is to provide users with the most accurate and reliable technology depending on users’ profile, adapting the information’s contents to their specific needs. Location based services, integrated in a mobile device, will serve as a pervasive system which ensures the availability of the proposed solution.
