The Smart Box Concept for Ubiquitous Computing Environments

In everyday life we are often faced with the need to monitor the contents of some kind of container e.g. the contents of a medicine cabinet or a tool box. In this paper we show that this entire class of scenarios has similar features and properties. To remove the annoyance associated by the user with this monitoring task we propose a smart box concept. In this concept the monitoring is facilitated by any automatic identification technology. RFID technology proved to be a suitable means to invisibly monitor the contents of the box without requiring the user to adapt the way he interacts with the smart objects. We describe the characteristics of the smart box concept and then demonstrate the usability of the smart box concept with three applications: the smart toolbox, the smart medicine cabinet and the smart surgical kit.
