A Pre-Download Method for Exhibit Information Service Systems Using Bluetooth

In this research, a pre-download method in the information service system using Bluetooth is proposed. The pre-download method is to determine the information to the visitor’s mobile in advance by using the movement prediction of the visitor. By using this method, the visitor can browse the information smoothly.

This method is evaluated by simulation in various room-layouts and walking routes. More than 92% of requested contents are pre-downloaded in case the memory size is large enough to download. The prototype of the information service system installed the proposed method has been developed. By using this system, the effect of the method is confirmed.
