Creating context as you go

2009

In this paper, we discuss how a short-range wireless communication scheme called Mobile Encounter Network (MEN) can provide additional value for both the consumer and the service/product provider (the company). When used as an information search system on the market environment, a MEN-based system allows services and products being promoted at the location they are available. From the customer's point of view, MEN may provide a "digitally augmented vision", an enhanced view to the current environment. Combined with a set of filtering and search rules this may provide a self-manageable context combining the user's own personal environment and preferences to the services and features availabl…

Mobile Encounter Network - the missing data link

2008

In this paper, we discuss about the applicability of a short-range wireless communication scheme called Mobile Encounter Network (MEN). Encounters between devices communicating while moving allows ad-hoc -type data transfer to be performed. A background for the emerging of such networks is given. The essential properties of the MEN data transfer are specified. Based on this, the role of MEN as a data transfer medium is discussed. The conclusion is that such networking technique may provide additional value compared to the traditional wireless communication.
