“…The solution was a client/server network support system called the MUON (Mobile User Object Notification) framework. The details of the MUON framework architecture are discussed in a previous publication (Dyer and Bowskill, 1999); however the features that it supports, and those that underlie many future wearables applications, are outlined below.…”

“…Using our PDA or mobile phone, we just push a button [3]. With location-based service [4] the system knows our place and-based on that information-the system knows the music title on the advertisement table. The music, bought during this procedure, will be transferred via Internet/DSL to our home server or to a central server.…”

The evolution of systems and networks, including PDA, handhelds, mobile phones, WLAN, and Bluetooth provides us new scenarios for media presentation. Because of the growing number of such (personal) devices in the Personal Area Network of the User it is necessary to set up a system, in which the user doesn’t lose control over the media and their corresponding presentation devices. Digitalisation will lead us to a split of into content (music, video), storage (e.g. compact discs, server), and user interfaces (receiver). Media will no longer be stored in shelves at home, but in storage spaces located somewhere in the network. New user in-terfaces like PDA and mobile phones will replace the panel field of an old fashion CD-Player and amplifier. A protocol is required for synchronisation and controlling this media scenario, which is UPnP (Universal Plug and Play). This paper describes a scenario based on UPnP and its implementation provided by the author

“…Each message is assigned a unique ID, that is used to amend a user's database each time they read a location message, to prevent continuous notifications being sent for messages they have previously received. Previous similar work on location based messaging has been reported by reported by Pascoe [21] and Rekimoto et al [23].…”

“…Our solution has been to specify a client / server network support system called the MUON (Mobile User Object Notification) Framework. A previous publication gives details of the proposed system architecture [21]. The specific features that a contextual communications network architecture (such as the MUON framework) must support are now discussed under the headings proposed by Pascoe.…”

“…The MetaPark prototype is based on the Sony Community Place software [20], although the long term objective is to use the experimental MUON framework [21] described in the next section. A Community Place 'Bureau' multi-user server, running on a Unix workstation, hosts the online environment and maintains the consistency of the world to the many simultaneous users.…”

Wearable computers provide constant access to computing and communications resources. In this paper we describe how the computing power of wearables can enhance computer-mediated communications, with a focus upon collaborative working. In particular we describe the idea of contextual communication, where contextual cues collected by the wearable computer are used to establish and enhance communication links. We describe the hardware and software technology we have developed to support contextual communication and two experimental contextual communication systems. The first, a wearable conferencing tool uses the user's physical location to select the on line conference which they connect to. The second, MetaPark, is a mixed reality educational experiment which explores communications, data retrieval and recording, and navigation techniques within and across real and virtual environments.
