虽然无处不在的计算已经普及，并且嵌入到物理对象和生活环境中的计算机已经增加，但是个人便携式设备对于与嵌入式计算机的各种交互仍然是必要的。尽管这些设备很重要，但与膝上型计算机相比，它们的输入和输出能力有限且相对贫乏。此外，用户必须明确注意与便携式设备的交互。为了解决这些问题，我们提出了一个智能设备协作的普适计算，其目的是实现每个嵌入式计算机补充能力的便携式设备在普适计算环境中的缺乏。我们提出的智能设备协作允许用户与嵌入式计算机进行适当的交互，而无需明确注意这些计算机的存在和它们的接口。本文介绍了InfoPoint和智能家具，这是我们的实验设备，展示智能设备协作。我们还观察了这些设备的优点和缺点，提出了未来的工作，并总结了智能设备协作的方案。
Although a ubiquitous computing has been widespread and computers embedded into physical objects and living environments have been increased, personal portable devices are still necessary for various interactions with embedded computers. Despite of importance of those devices, input and output capabilities of them are limited and relatively impoverished compared to those of laptop computers. Moreover, users must pay an explicit attention to an interaction with portable devices. To solve these problems, we propose a smart device collaboration for a ubiquitous computing, which aims to realize that each embedded computer complements the lack of capability of a portable device in the ubiquitous computing environment. Our proposed smart device collaboration allows users to have appropriate interactions with embedded computers, without explicit attentions to existences of these computers and interfaces to them. This paper describes InfoPoint and Smart Furniture which are our experimental devices demonstrating smart device collaboration. We also observe advantages and disadvantages of these devices, present future works, and conclude a scheme of the smart device collaboration.
