Mission

The Ubiquitous ID Center was set up within the T-Engine Forum to establish and popularize the core technology for automatically identifying physical objects and locations and to work toward the ultimate objective of realizing a ubiquitous computing environment.

Activities

The activities of the Ubiquitous ID center include:

1. Constructing an ID system of ucodes, which are assigned to "physical objects" and locations".
2. Establishing the core technology for using ucodes.
Data carrier devices to store ucodes (RFID, Smart cards, Active chips, etc.).
Devices that communicate with data carrier devices (Ubiquitous Communicators).
Establishing the core technology for information and communications that enables searching for information associated with ucodes.
3. Establishing the core technology for secure wide-area distribution systems for ucodes and information linked to ucodes.
4. Allocating Ubiquitous ID spaces
5. Running the ucode resolution database.
6. Running the eTRON authentication authority.

Organization and System

The Ubiquitous ID Center operates within the T-Engine Forum (http://www.t-engine.org/) and its activities are mainly conducted by A and e members of the T-Engine Forum.
The organizations that involve A members include the "Ubiquitous Network Infrastructure Committee", "ucode Tag Technology WG", and the "U-TAD WG".
