Abstract

A web enabled wireless personalized and customized virtual tour-guide system includes a wireless tour-guide device and system enabled to access the Internet. The geographic location of the wireless tour-guide device is detected and reported. Intelligent agent software is responsive to a request from the user to create a customized tour program using information accessed at selected Internet web sites or a web site with pre-aggregated information. The intelligent agent uses the created tour program, such as a tour of historical exhibits, to guide the user along the customized tour route by voice and/or graphics, and provides information about each exhibit on the tour. The virtual tour-guide system can personalize each directed tour by taking individual user expressed preferences into account, and can use collaborative filtering of experiences with prior users to suggest other exhibits which may be of interest to the present user. The web enabled wireless tour-guide system is goal directed and interactive, responding like a human tour-guide to the needs of the user.
