Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm is associated to the concept of Ambient Intelligence, in which a set of smart objects interact and exchange data, with the common goal of using data collected from the context to automate everyday activities. In the context of working places, the Internet of Things can improve the effectiveness of the overall work as well as the convenience and quality of interaction between people, and between people and devices. In this paper, we introduce the mobile Android application GreatRoom, which uses wireless tags (beacons) distributed in places and/or objects, in order to detect the presence of users nearby and automatically create both Virtual Rooms for sharing files - especially in the context of meetings, seminars and workshops – and a check-in list of the participants.
