System for Providing Information about Emergency Rescue Procedures to Mo-bile Phone Users

Abstract

We propose the use of a system that provides information about emergency rescue procedures for mobile phone users.To enable the users to easily understand the procedures,avatars demonstrate how they are used.Since the avatars are efficiently constructed on a subset of scalable vector graphics(SVG),they can be quickly transmitted to the mobile phone and with low computational loads.In addition to the avatars,complementary voice and text data that explainthe procedures are also transmitted via a synchronized multimedia integration language(SMIL, pronounced “smile”) format.Moreover,to verify the performance and the effectiveness of the proposed system,we implemented a dedicated SMIL player suitable for use with mobile phones.
