The goal of this final year project is to conceptualize context-aware digital services. During this project, proof of concept for a simple context-aware digital service called LetMeKnow was produced. In this report, context awareness, its use cases and implementation in digital world is discussed.
Theoretical background covers the history of context awareness, Bluetooth low energy beacons and different beacon protocols. LetMeKnow digital service is an Android application that scans for Bluetooth low energy signal transmitted by a beacon. The service also consists of a backend system developed using The . The backend is responsible for collecting and providing contextual information of the service to users.
Different kinds of contextual data were identified such as who is here, what is here and where you are. Using this contextual data, concepts for digital services that can connect the physical and the digital world to provide value to end users were created.
It was concluded that collecting contextual data, analysing the data, optimising constraints for the better user experience and most importantly providing a great value for the end users in a digital service is all possible in today’s world.
