A Bluetooth Based Protocol For Multimedia Guidebooks On Mobile Computing Devices, Matthew D'Souza, Adam Postula, Neil Bergmann, Montserrat Ros
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
This paper presents a Bluetooth based communications protocol used for multimedia guidebooks on mobile computing devices. Multimedia guidebooks are used in museums to allow users to access information about museum exhibits. The multimedia guidebook protocol was successfully implemented on a personal digital assistant and mobile (cell) phone platforms. The protocol overcomes some of the wireless file transfer protocol limitation issues with mobile computing devices. The protocol uses Bluetooth wireless connections as a communications medium. The protocol can be used to transfer various file formats such as image or audio files. The protocol also identifies the language content of the information …

A Bluetooth Wireless Network Infrastructure For Multimedia Guidebooks On Mobile Computing Devices, Matthew D'Souza, Montserrat Ros, Adam Postula, Neil Bergmann
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
This paper describes the implementation of a Bluetooth Village Guide Book (VGB) scenario for use in the Kelvin Grove Urban Village located in Brisbane, Australia. An Information Point Station Network (IPSN) was developed, along with software for two types of mobile computing devices. The implementation consists of several Information Point Stations (IPSs) placed at locations of significance, with access to information items on a centralized server. Once registered, the user is given the opportunity to experience context-aware information on demand and in various multimedia formats. These information items are selected by the user, either by way of a menu system …
