Abstract

With advancements on computing devices and the integration of multiple communication interfaces, everyday objects become interconnected with each other through the Internet -- so called Internet of Things (IoT). As filled with these smart objects, many of public places are getting smarter and users utilize proper services by means of smart objects. While the services can be provided based on certain servers, it's hard to expect that there are local servers for public places. In this paper, we present a distributed middleware framework for spontaneous interaction with smart objects, Personal Genie, which supports smart object discovery, selective context acquisition, situation inference and task suggestion, task composition, and distributed task execution with a smartphone as the center. With Personal Genie, heterogeneous smart objects in a public place can collaborate to interpret current situations and provide necessary services and information to users. As a proof of concept, we build up a smart seminar room as a testbed of Personal Genie and implement a series of tasks upon the testbed for evaluation and show performance assessments with example scenarios.
