Introducing Personal Operating Spaces for Ubiquitous Computing Environments

a ubiquitous computing environment, a user will own and make use of many devices that vary in functionality and power. Furthermore, these devices will most likely be inter- connected around a space, such as a room in an intelligent building or a public space. Devices may join and leave the space through device detection and location management techniques in an ad-hoc seamless manner. For example, a user's home space may automatically detect and add a personal smart phone device, which could then be used to interact with other devices within the space. This study is concerned with the concept of a personal operating space: an entity formed for interaction between a user's mobile device and any environmental devices/services in the local space.
