We propose the concept of cooperative sidewalk supporting system that manages sensory information from mobile terminals and personal mobility. This system provides the service which extracts and offers useful information, including the condition of the sidewalks to a user, or to a governmental agency. The technology of gathering the information about sidewalks efficiently from the sensor through the sidewalk user's mobile terminal is introduced in this system. The sensor information from the pedestrian using a sidewalk, a baby carriage, a wheelchair, a bicycle, and personal mobility are saved in the cloud database. In this report, the basic framework of the information gathering system is designed. And we show the fundamental flexibility of the XML base data description form. Furthermore, the concept about creation of the new service which cooperated with machine learning technology or other information is described as a prospective view.
Many fixed-line carriers are providing online storage service, which stores user data through their broadband access network, as a typical application service that utilizes their network's advantages such as wide bandwidth. However, many of these services are not providing unique use cases that are different from over-the-top (OTT) personal online storage services. To facilitate the creation of new telecom online storage services, we propose the concept of a "family cloud", an online storage platform logically connected directly to a household via a fixed broadband access line. The tight coupling of a family cloud and the carrier network facilitates handling of new in-home online storage use cases, including enhancement of existing home telecom services. In this paper, we clarify the family cloud concept and report our extensive investigation of its use case scenarios, our design of a functional architecture that can cover the scenarios, and our application of the architecture to a sample service to verify the concept's validity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
