integrated ucode tag system o u. ID policy for ucode tags • “No almighty tags” We should use several kinds of tags properly. • • • o Users want seemless access for all tags. Information security is important. Network services can complement the function of tags ucode tags are classified by two difference criteria. 1. Communication media o Category 0 ~ Category 3 2. Security level o Level 0 ~ Level 7 GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications 14

New Applications and Services Based on Ubiquitous ID Technology GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

New Applications and Services 1. Food information tracking services 2. Information services for drug safety 3. Location-aware information services GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications 17

Food Information Tracking for Food Safety GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications 18

Food information tracking services (1) o “Food communication” services • We bring the information of food production and food distribution to consumers. The consumer refers the information, and confirms the safety of the food by themselves. o For example, … • We have applied the RFID for the distribution of fresh vegetables and fruits (about 200 items). • We also put the active sensor tags with temperature sensor into the container box and pallets. • The consumers can confirm every information about the food. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications 19

Food information tracking services (2) o Quality management system • When food accidents occurs, we can minimize the amount of trashed foods by the strictly food safety checking. trouble Food chain is unclear. All of these might be dangerous!? ? ? cause of trouble Dangerous!! Safe!! GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications 20

Result of experimental project o Most Japanese consumers expressed their good impression for this information services. • Recently, Japanese consumers are very nervous for the quality and safety of food. o Half of Japanese consumers will buy even expensive foods if their quality is certified. • They will pay more 10% cost for food safety. o There is a potential market for food safety information in Japan. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications 21

Improving safety in hospitals GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications 22

Medical Applications o Ubiquitous ID technology is effective to prevent accidents or mistakes in hospitals. o For example, • We put ucode tags on drug packages. • ucode tags notify doctors or nurses which kinds of drugs are conveyed in the patient room. • If the drug is not correct, the base station makes warning for the doctor or nurse automatically.

Location-aware information services (Services) GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications 25

Location-aware Information Services o We are embedding huge number of active tags, sensor networks, and RFIDs all over the Japan land. o They support human navigation especially for handicapped people and foreign people. o They are also used for supporting sightseeing, shopping, supply chain management, and so on. o It’s a kind of ITS: Intelligent Transport System for HUMAN. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications 26

Standardization and Social Infrastructure GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

Features of Ubiquitous Information Services o Ubiquitous information services are effective for any kinds of business sectors. o Application covers not only B 2 B services, but also B 2 C and/or C 2 C services • “Consumer” is just the key o Increasing security and safety of citizens • Some services are “life-critical” GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications 28

New “consumer” services make new market o B 2 B services do not make a new market because they are effective only for cutting cost. • e. g. —Supply chain management o New consumer services make a new market because they directly generates new values. • e. g. —food safety information market —drug safety information market —tourist information service market GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications 29

“Consumer” require international standardization Various consumer services Sight-seeing support Environmental Context information Food information tracking Handicapped SCM support Food DB ucode Geographical DB Personal Profiles Drug DB Food id tag Position tag Beacons Tactile block for blind persons RFID Infrastructure GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications 30

Conclusion -Requirements for International Standardization- GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

Standardization Areas o To realize the various applications and information services, a lot of standardizations are necessary as follows: 1. Identification number for objects and places stored in ID tags 2. Service finding protocols for ubiquitous information services using RFID identification numbers 3. Ubiquitous information service protocols 4. Data exchange format for ubiquitous information services using ID tags 5. ID tags (including contactless communication protocols) more … GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications 32
