A context based architecture for ubiquitous kid´s safety care using space-oriented model

Parents must supervise their children closely. However, there can be accidents that are caused by dangerous factors which frequently exist in special spaces in kids´ surroundings. We need new computing power for kids´ outdoor safety care. In this paper, we present our architecture of a system for ubiquitous outdoor safety care using space-oriented concepts and contexts. Traditional approaches in handling information in our surroundings require many engines for various analyses. To impose uniformity, we utilized the space-oriented model. Our system summarizes a situation using an acquisition knowledge base of accidents or parents´ stored information, and detects a possible danger near the kid based on semantics of real spaces using a hypothesis based on cognitive patterns. All spaces and related information are defined by specialized schemas, and are described as space-oriented contexts using XML format. Our prototype application was based on the proposed model to evaluate kids´ safety care.
