The situation dependent application areas of EPC sensor network in u-Healthcare

Electronic product code (EPC) sensor network is a collection of objects for sensing data. It is crucial to ubiquitous society. It can provide an application service based on situation dependency with its properties. The situation dependency is an emerging concept which can collect location-based and personalized information. With the situation dependency, many industries can serve ubiquitous service for independent users. u-Healthcare is one of ubiquitous service to provide seamless medical treatment. The concept of situation dependency is applied in u-Healthcare with EPC sensor network technology. Due to specialized four properties of EPC sensor network which are driven from this paper, the situation dependency is well-established in u-Healthcare service. In this paper, we defined value and architecture of u-Healthcare service and we analyzed application areas of u-Healtlicare.
