Telme: a personalized, context-aware communication support system

True global communication will require more than just language translation technologies. To fully understand each other, people also need context-specific information. The authors have developed Telme, a support system that gives users real-time information to help bridge the knowledge and experience gap. The authors explain the Telme framework for wearable computers connected to a central knowledge base server. The server controls a background knowledge database and downloads data on user request.
