Abstract

Combining archives with location-aware recommendation strategies to provide visitors with a more convenient way to browse exhibitions is an important research issue. An interactive learning-guide system, designed with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) electronic tags and PDA, to assist the visitors in better understanding the exhibitions is proposed. Visitors obtain the exhibition-related information through a PDA with interactive RFID reading. Unlike traditional systems, this mobile guide is supplemented with data mining, information retrieval and location-awareness to help achieve the ideal format for interactive usage. The system utilizes the user profiles to analyze individuals´ viewing records by employing collaborative filtering and Apriori-like algorithms to create recommended viewing rules for visitors. In considering the system would recommend the exhibitions in different sections to the visitors, the system also provides the directory map for visitors to easily locate the recommended exhibitions and minimize the difficulty of finding the recommended exhibitions. The architecture and the methodology used in the design system are given and comparisons with other work are presented in the paper.
