Ubiquitous computing
- Ubiquitous means ‘existing everywhere’.
Processors can be embedded into any device,
including clothing, appliances, vehicles, buildings
and people, to connect them to the internet so that
the data generated by the processors will be
readily available.
- Radio frequency
identification (RFID)
- Currently, objects within a ubiquitous computing
environment usually contain radio frequency
identification (RFID) chips. RFID is a technology that
uses radio waves to transfer data to a tag on a
person or an object so that the person/object can
be identified and tracked. These tags contain
information that is stored electronically and which
can be transmitted. It is similar to the bar code
systems used in supermarkets, but unlike a bar
code, RFID does not need to be scanned.
- An example of a use of RFID is the cat flaps
that only open for the animal that has the
correct chip in its collar.

- Applications of ubiquitous computing
- Currently, 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.

- 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.
