scope:

This Recommendation specifies the service description and the requirements for multimedia information access triggered by tag-based identification. This service enables users to access multimedia information through users' electronic devices equipped with ID tag readers and communication functions.

The multimedia information is comprised of voice, sound, text, graphic, video and other media which have various applications such as digital maps for route-finding and interactive three-dimensional panoramic pictures. Users will receive its delivery via communication networks such as fixed and mobile networks according to their network access capabilities.

These applications and services are characterized by the use of the following:

1) Identifier: An identifier is assigned to each real-world entity such as a physical/logical object, a place, or a person.

2) ID tag: An ID tag is a tag, such as a barcode, a passive/active RFID, a smartcard, or an infrared tag, used to store the identifier.

3) ID terminal: An ID terminal is a device equipped with an ID tag reader/writer used to capture the identifier. Capturing the identifier triggers access to multimedia information via a network.
