User-Oriented Seamless Service Handoff In The Ubiquitous Computing Environment

Purpose - User-oriented seamless service handoff is prosperous in the ubiquitous computing environment. This paper aims to present an open architecture for the user-oriented seamless service handoff across heterogeneous platforms. The migration of service environment is the key to implement the user-oriented service handoff. A distributed service handoff scheme based on the binary sensor network and context-aware middleware has been proposed.Design/methodology/approach - To validate this scheme, a test-bed has been constructed in the lab environment.Findings - The experimental results show that the proposed scheme can reduce the service handoff delay compared to the centralized scheme.Originality/value - The experimental results show that the scheme can reduce the delay of service handoff compared to the traditional centralized scheme.
