在家庭和工作场所中发现的计算和通信系统的配置是当前需要用户关注的复杂任务。最近，研究人员已经开始研究计算机，这些计算机可以根据对周围人或物的观察自动改变其功能。通过使用来自分布在整个环境中的传感器系统的输入来确定它们的上下文，计算设备可以针对它们的当前用户来个性化它们自己，根据它们的位置来调整它们的行为，或者对它们的周围环境做出反应。作者提出了一种新的传感器系统。适用于室内环境中的大规模部署，可准确确定人员和设备的位置。我们还描述了一些上下文感知的应用程序，可能会利用这种细粒度的位置信息。
Configuration of the computing and communications systems found at home and in the workplace is a complex task that currently requires the attention of the user. Recently, researchers have begun to examine computers that would autonomously change their functionality based on observations of who or what was around them. By determining their context, using input from sensor systems distributed throughout the environment, computing devices could personalize themselves to their current user, adapt their behavior according to their location, or react to their surroundings. The authors present a novel sensor system. suitable for large-scale deployment in indoor environments, which allows the locations of people and equipment to be accurately determined. We also describe some of the context-aware applications that might make use of this fine-grained location information.
