Abstract

A context-based activity modeling apparatus is provided which includes an activity element input interface via which data about an activity element including one or more of activity information of an activity modeling target, activity subject information, object information, tool information, and context information are input; a data mapping unit for mapping the data input via the activity element input interface based on relations therebetween; and an activity modeling display unit that graphically displays the mapped data on a screen.

Claims

1. A context-based activity modeling apparatus comprising:

an activity element input interface via which data about an activity element including one or more of activity information of an activity modeling target, activity subject information, object information, tool information, and context information are input;

a data mapping unit for mapping the data input via the activity element input interface based on relations therebetween; and

an activity modeling display unit that graphically displays the mapped data on a screen.

2. The context-based activity modeling apparatus of claim 1,

wherein the activity element input interface generates and stores one or more context classes including one or more fields and field values for describing the context information.

3. The context-based activity modeling apparatus of claim 2,

wherein the fields or the field values included in the context classes are edited via a selection by a user.

4. The context-based activity modeling apparatus of claim 2,

wherein the context classes with identical context information for describing different activity modelings are shared among the activity modelings.

5. The context-based activity modeling apparatus of claim 1,

wherein the activity element input interface includes an activity input module for inputting data of a goal of the target as the activity information.

6. The context-based activity modeling apparatus of claim 1,

wherein the activity element input interface includes an activity subject input module for inputting data of one or more of an active actor, a passive actor, and a third party actor as the activity subject information.

7. The context-based activity modeling apparatus of claim 1,

wherein the activity element input interface includes an object input module for inputting data of the object of the activity as the object information.

8. The context-based activity modeling apparatus of claim 1,

wherein the activity element input interface includes a tool input module for inputting data of a means for achieving a goal of the target as the tool information.

9. The context-based activity modeling apparatus of claim 1,

wherein the activity element input interface includes a context input module for inputting data of one or more of a goal context, a relevant structure context, a physical context, and a psychological context related to the target as the context information.

10. The context-based activity modeling apparatus of claim 1,

wherein the activity element input interface includes an event input module for additionally inputting event information of the activity modeling target, and

the event information causes a change in the activity in a specific context.

11. The context-based activity modeling apparatus of claim 1,

wherein the activity element input interface includes an environment input module for additionally inputting environment information where the activity modeling target is located, and

the environment information includes one or more of an indoor space, an outdoor space, and a virtual space.

12. The context-based activity modeling apparatus of claim 1,

wherein the data mapping unit maps the input data to each other based on the context information.

13. A context-based activity modeling method comprising:

(a) storing input data about an activity element including one or more of activity information of an activity modeling target, activity subject information, object information, tool information, and context information;

(b) mapping the stored data based on relations therebetween; and

(c) displaying graphically the mapped data on a screen.

14. The context-based activity modeling method of claim 13,

wherein the step (a) includes one or more of storing data of a goal of the target as the activity information,

storing data of one or more of an active actor, a passive actor, and a third party actor as the activity subject information,

storing data of the object of the activity as the object information,

storing data of a means for achieving a goal of the target as the tool information, and

storing data of one or more of a goal context, a relevant structure context, a physical context, and a psychological context related to the target as the context information.

15. The context-based activity modeling method of claim 13,

wherein the step (a) includes storing an element that causes a change in the activity in a specific context as event information of the activity modeling target, and

storing data about one or more of an indoor space, an outdoor space, and a virtual space as environment information where the activity modeling target is located.

16. The context-based activity modeling method of claim 13,

wherein the step (b) includes mapping the stored data to each other based on the context information.

17. The context-based activity modeling method of claim 13,

wherein the step (a) includes generating and storing one or more context classes including one or more fields and field values for describing the context information.

18. The context-based activity modeling method of claim 17,

wherein the fields or the field values included in the context classes are edited via a selection by a user.

19. The context-based activity modeling method of claim 17,

wherein the context classes with identical context information for describing different activity modelings are shared among the activity modelings.
