28Application Areas

29AMI possesses applications in many areas. Some of them are listed below :-Health-related applications: Hospitals can increase the efficiency of their services by monitoring patients health and progress by performing automatic analysis of activities in their rooms. They can also increase safety by, for example, only allowing authorized personnel and patients to have access to specific areas and devices. Public transportation sector: Public transport can benefit from extra technology including satellite services, GPS-based spatial location, vehicle identification, image processing and other technologies to make transport more fluent and hence more efficient and safe. Education services : Education-related institutions may use technology to track students progression on their tasks, frequency of attendance to specific places and health related issues like advising on their diet regarding their habits and the class of intakes they opted for.Emergency services : Safety-related services like fire brigades can improve the reaction to a hazard by locating the place more efficiently and also by preparing the way to reach the place In connection with street services. The prison service can also quickly locate a place where a hazard is occurring or is likely to occur and prepare better access to it for security personnel .Production-oriented places: Production- centred places like factories can self-organize according to the production/demand ratio of the goods produced. This will demand careful correlation between the collection of data through sensors within the different sections of the production line and the pool of demands via a diagnostic system which can advice the people in charge of the system at a decision-making level

Place mePlaceMe is not an app; not in the traditional sense. You dont really interact with it and you dont tell it what to do. It will sit there quietly, in the background, observing you, learning about your daily routine and keeping a record of everywhere youve been.32

Highlight is another app that will sit quietly in the background. It will scan people around you and check their profiles. If it finds interesting people such as someone that you share common friends with it will let you know everything it knows about them.

33

HighlightPlaceMe and Highlight belong to a new breed of mobile apps that are better described as ambient sensing services. These services require minimal or no user input; they are constantly aware of your environment by monitoring mobile sensors on your phone and combining it with cloud-based information sources to fill in any missing information and augment your perception of the world.

33Challenges

34Challenges in Innovation:- Build an eco-system that uses co-creation as a model for open innovation. Involve multiple parties in the user centered design cycle at large. Concentrate on well-defined business domains (i.e., hospitality, fashion, furniture, well-being, city beautification). Develop new business models for AmI innovation Challenges in Involvement:- Reach out to ordinary people so as to let them participate in the AmI effort. Involve ordinary people in the user centered design cycle at large. Let people experience the AmI future and live in it yourselves . Make AmI part of education .

35Conclusion

36Conclusion Ambient Intelligence ( AmI ) is growing fast as a multi-disciplinary topic of interest which can allow many areas of research to have a significant beneficial influence into our society . AmI is a vision on the future of consumer electronics, telecommunications and computing for the time frame 20102020 . Ambient Intelligence envisions a world where people are surrounded by intelligent and intuitive interfaces embedded in the everyday objects & physical environments around them. These interfaces recognize and respond to the presence and behaviors of an individual in a personalized and relevant way. Technology will not be the limiting factor in realizing ambient intelligence. The ingredients to let the computer disappear are already available, but the true success of the paradigm will depend on the ability to develop concepts that allow natural interaction with digital environments.
