| Over the last years we have observed two
trends in infor-mation technology applications: (1) Kiosk systems
have become very popular in their roles as point of information
and point of sale systems. (2) Multimedia products have become
mature enough to allow for user-friendly user interfaces and for
digital storage and retrieval in net-worked environments. Hence,
multimedia kiosk applica-tions range from single-user,
stand-alone, CD-based systems to multi-user, networked approaches
that provide cost-effective solutions in larger set-ups and allow
in-time content provision to a huge set of users. This paper
dis-cusses the notion of kiosk systems, classifies different
types of kiosks, and describes a general-purpose architecture for
distributed multimedia kiosk systems using similar building
blocks as other already available distributed mul-timedia
applications. |
