  purpose For recent development of information technology, not only computers but portable terminals can be connected to the internet. Furthermore, by emergence of terminals with camera or GPS, portable terminals spread its availableness. M cubed project aims to build ubiquitous environment by the use of portable informatino terminals like PDA or cellular phone. It realize to support at destination place because portable terminal is always carried by user. On the other hand, for example resouce or processing capacity, portable terminals has problem that we must clear.

  description

【interface】

We built system that aims to support input and browse for mobile terminal. Now, it is painful work to input to or browse terminal because of small display or few key. On the one hand, we can available to access to internet throw mobile terminal, but we have to make Web site for only mobile terminal. So we propose novel input information and present infomation style that are

  1. information gathering by "listen to infomation" not see infomation
  2. information input with camera or GPS that are built in mobile terminal
  3. support to browse Web site for desktop computer on mobile terminal

【network】

We propose to built ad hoc network environment where connected mobile terminals each other. Nowadays mobiel terminals has some radio communication equipment for example wireless LAN, infrared data communication or Bluetooth. Some researchs about ad hoc network aim to form route from data output terminal to input terminal. But because users move always who has terminal, network composition changes always. That is to say, network composition changes before data transfer completed. So in this theme we address research paying attention to certainty.
