Abstract

This paper presents a component framework for building and operating visual interfaces for context-aware services in smart spaces. By using a compound-document technology, it provides physical entities, places, and services in smart spaces with visual components to annotate and control them. It can automatically assemble visual components into a visual interface for monitoring and managing the spaces according to the spatial containment relationships between their targets in the physical world by using underlying location-sensing systems. End-users can manually customize smart spaces through user-friendly GUI-based manipulations for editing documents. This paper presents the design for this framework and describes its implementation and practical application.
