Purpose
User-oriented seamless service handoff is prosperous in the ubiquitous computing environment. This paper aims to present an open architecture for the user-oriented seamless service handoff across heterogeneous platforms. The migration of service environment is the key to implement the user-oriented service handoff. A distributed service handoff scheme based on the binary sensor network and context-aware middleware has been proposed.
Design/methodology/approach
To validate this scheme, a test-bed has been constructed in the lab environment.
Findings
The experimental results show that the proposed scheme can reduce the service handoff delay compared to the centralized scheme.
Originality/value
The experimental results show that the scheme can reduce the delay of service handoff compared to the traditional centralized scheme.
