UBI-MIDDLEWARE FOR SUPPORTING THE CONTEXT-AWARE SERVICE AND METHOD OF PROVIDING THE CONTEXT-AWARE SERVICE IN MOBILE TERMINAL

摘要

A ubiquitous middleware for supporting a context-aware service and a method for offering the context-aware service in a mobile terminal by using the same are provided to autonomously perform a user desire, hope, and command, and offer optimal information to a user in real-time by recognizing context of the user according to a service scenario. A U-SML(Ubiquitous Service Markup Language) parser(40) parses a U-SML document received from the outside into a description part, a condition part, and an action part. A service queue(41) receives the service description part. A service scheduler(42) informs a context-aware command part(43) of a context-aware service schedule by checking the schedule described in the description part queued in the service queue. A context information repository(45) obtains/stores context information around the user from a sensor embedded in the mobile terminal and/or an external information providing server. A context information manager(44) transfers the context information to the context-aware command part while managing various context information stored in the context information repository.
