Supporting Small Groups In The Museum By Context-Aware Communication Services

Visitors often tend to visit museums in groups, mainly with family or friends, yet most of the today mobile museum guides focus on supporting the individual visitor. The technology described in this paper allows supporting groups of visitors in addition to individuals by providing context-aware services aimed at Supporting the whole group. These include context-aware Communication and alerting services that are provided by the museum Visitor's guide system developed in the framework of the PIL (PEACH-Israel) project, as an example case of a larger variety of possible context-aware services.
