UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING
Is also known as pervasive computing.

Definition Architecture 4 basic points Interference Ubi-bat Ubi-finger Mouse field Conclusion Reference

Refers to use of computers in everyday life.

New Type of relationship between peoples and computer Includes PDAs, smart phones and other devices. Will become a larger part of our social lives.

Ubiquitous computing

Definition Architecture 4 basic points Interference Ubi-bat Ubi-finger Mouse field Conclusion Reference

DEFINITIONS:
The method of enhancing computing use by making many devices (services) available throughout the physical environment, but making them effectively invisible to the user.
many embedded, wearable, handheld devices communicate transparently to provide different services to the users

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE FOR UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING

Major focus on Users & there tasks. Lack of applications in existing systems. Architecture needs to : be simple integrate support for mobile computations and persistent storage. be easy to encapsulate.

FOUR BASIC MEANS FOR OBTAINING HIGH DEPENDABILITY

fault prevention: preventing the occurrence of faults. fault tolerance : delivery of service in presence of faults. fault removal: verification & validation. fault forecasting: system evaluation.

USERS INTERFACE
The multitude of different Ubicomp devices with their different sizes of displays and interaction capabilities represents another challenge

UBI-BAT
This location tracking system has three parts: Bats: - small ultrasonic transmitters worn by users. Receivers:-ultrasonic signal detectors embedded in ceiling. CentralController:- coordinates the bats and receiver chains.

UBI-FINGER

Definition Architecture 4 basic points Interference Ubi-bat Ubi-finger Mouse field Conclusion Reference By pointing a light and making a gesture like push a switch The light will turn on!

Ubi-Finger consists of three sensors to detect gestures of fingers,:

Infrared transmitter Micro computer Receiver
