Accurately and efficiently identifying the location of patients during the course of rehabilitation is an important issue. Wireless transmission technology can reach this goal. Tracking technologies such as RFID (Radio frequency identification) can support process improvement and improve efficiencies of rehabilitation. There are few published models or methods to solve the problem of positioning and...
The research of indoor positioning is rapidly increasing in recent years, and most researchers have focused on RFID technology in indoor positioning; It is difficult to deal with the RFID positioning method, due to RFID is restricted by the disturbance of wireless signals. Therefore, this paper proposes an indoor location system combined with active RFID and Kinect. Based on the identification and...
Due to the growing demand for business-to-customer delivery on perishable goods, a novel business model has been devised to send temperature sensitive goods to the general public without refrigerated trucks. Packages are placed in thermal insulated containers instead, while the temperature is constantly monitored by wireless sensors. Because the cargo space is full of lossy materials, the sensor-integrated...
“Oxford College,” well-known as “the earliest edification institution in northern Taiwan,” was planned by Rev. George Leslie Mackay. It is a typical Chinese and Western style architecture with rich historical and cultural content, now is a Class 2 national monument. This paper took “Oxford College” as an example to develop a 3D augmented reality mobile navigation system that supports the function...
Along with the improvement of medical technologies, the demand for rehabilitation therapy is increasing. However, paper-based methods are still used in most rehabilitation therapy rooms to record patient data, which is very inconvenient. In addition, since the rehabilitation therapy records and schedules in the therapy rooms are created manually, human errors and equipments being left idle are inevitable...
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) application are becoming increasingly popular such as access control, location tracking, industrial automation, and as a replacement for barcodes in consumer products. There are a lot of system components suppliers available, system integrators put the components or subsystems into a complete system, and then how to assess or predict the reliability of integrated...
Among existing indoor localization systems, considering the costs and accuracy, RFID has been one of the best choices for indoor positioning. However, years of research experiences found that the signal strength of RFID is not sufficiently stable and sensitive to the indoor environment and furniture, which reduce positioning accuracy. Therefore, this paper proposed an indoor localization and identification...
RFID is the best choice for indoor positioning as it attaches equal importance to both accuracy and cost; however, with the limited strength stability of RFID signals, coupled with interferences of indoor environments and furniture, the positioning system based on RFID only is subject to bottlenecks, which are difficult to break through for positioning accuracy. Therefore, this paper presents an RV-based...
The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) positioning based on the signal strength is the well know and feasible method. But the researches based on signal strength only usually make unsatisfied positioning error because of the instable of RFID signal. In this paper, we propose an indoor RFID positioning system which is based on the analysis of signal strength, the layout of sensing region, and the...
This paper presents techniques for system design and human-robot interaction of an active mobile robotic assistant for the elderly people in known, cluttered and dynamic indoor environments. The RFID-based intelligent space is proposed to automatically help users to attain desired services and prevent from possible accidents. A useful human-robot interactive system (HRI) is presented which includes...
With the promotion of ubiquitous computing, it is the interesting research to integrate RFID technology with virtual reality. In this paper, we take the Class 2 national monument, the first educational institute in northern Taiwan - Tamsui Oxford College (Mackay Museum) as the example, to develop a 3D virtual tour system that supports RFID localization. This paper proposes the new adaptive RFID positioning...
