The implementation of art therapy service as an ubiquitous health-care service

The ubiquitous services based on ubiquitous computing and ubiquitous network are totally different from the existing services which provide the information by just editing the data. The ubiquitous services intend for providing the user with the proper service or information based on the user's physical state, user's preference and context information, etc. In this paper, art therapy service that cures the physical or mental disease by providing the works of art is described as a case of ubiquitous health-care service. Art therapy service measures the user's physical state and environment conditions by making the use of some kind of sensors, and provides the healing effect by offering the appropriate music/paints to a user at that point of time. The ubiquitous art therapy service in this paper is implemented by applying the structure of FIPA multi-agent system.
