- 1Applications of ubiquitous computingCurrently, there are computing systems in place which monitor the shelf and
warehouse stock. This technology is used by many industries (supermarkets, book
and DVD suppliers, car part manufacturers, etc). When the stock reaches a certain
minimum level, an order is automatically placed with the appropriate supplier
electronically. Mainly this is done by a process where the tills feed product sales to a
central computer, which then calculates the present stock. Currently manual checks still
have to be made to allow for ‘shrinkage’ (i.e. loss due to theft or damage).
However, there are now experimental systems involving products which contain RFID.
The RFIDs register when any product leaves the premises.
Some futuristic examples of ubiquitous computing include:
• a car that can inform the owner when it needs servicing, book itself into the garage
and place orders for any parts needed
• a refrigerator that can monitor its contents, compile an order as food is used and
add the items to the user’s online shopping account.
