Description of the invention (ίο) and the digital camera has a data write-back so that a time stamp is associated with a given digital photo. According to the present invention, a digital camera receives GPS data from an in-vehicle device, and stores the location data together with a given photo or group of photos. This allows users to record valuable location data along with a time stamp. In another example, G PS also generates a time stamp, and the time stamp is recorded along with the digital photograph. As mentioned earlier, one representative pervasive computing slave device of the present invention includes a GPS satellite navigation receiver. Recently, such receivers have become as easily available as integrated circuit devices. This device provides latitude and longitude data to within a tenth of a given solitary second. When higher accuracy is needed, the accuracy of the position measurement is enhanced by using differential GPS (or dGPS), and dGPS is a program that uses some fixed reference points. In dGps, the positions of these reference points are determined very accurately, for example by using two measurement techniques. GPS is used to obtain the position of a given reference point, and this measurement is compared with a known position to generate a correction value, which is then used to correct the position of the popular device measured by GPS. However, the present invention is not limited to the broadcasting or transmission of GPS data. According to the invention, certain types of information (or its actual content) do not constitute a limitation of this original agreement. FIG. 7 shows a wireless infrared communication link that can be constructed between a pair of popular devices. More specifically, a given popularity meter configured in accordance with the present invention—the slave includes an IR controller chip 1 and the chip 1 2 0 drives a light emitting diode.

Therefore, when the popular device is configured as a broadcasting or transmitting computer, the information is broadcasted using the LED 122 of the IR port set. When the popular device is set as a receiving computer, the photodiode 124 is used to receive information broadcast from the transmitting computer. More specifically, the IR controller chip 120 (in a pass-through computer) receives the information signal from the computer processor, and uses these signals to modulate the infrared signal emitted by the LED. Conversely, in a receiving mine, the IR signal (through information modulation) received by the photodiode is processed by the IR controller chip 120 to obtain the information. A representative JR controller chip is IBM 3 1T1 50 2 type, and this chip is used for a transceiver module, such as IBM 31T1101 type. In addition, although wireless communication between computing devices is preferred, it should not be considered limiting. A given pervasive computing device can communicate via a wired link, and that link can be secured. In addition, a given pervasive computing device may be connected via a short-range radio frequency link, via a wireless data transmission link (e.g., by CDMA, GSM, TDMA, CDPD, etc.), by ultrasound 'or any other known Technology for communication. Those skilled in the art will understand that the application of the present invention can have many variations as different kinds of popular computing slave devices. Below are some additional representative examples. The first-pervasive computing device is an information station and the second pervasive computing device is a digital camera. The kiosk is at a given physical location (such as a landscape flyover) 'and the user of the camera wants to take a picture there. Information about the landscape is broadcast (or provided in response to a request) by a popular computing device using the information station of the present invention, and the information is then stored in the user ’s

In another example, the vending machine is first popularized Broadcast or respond to information on gold revenue. It may not be necessary to cancel the handheld or mobile device carried by the second popular salesperson. In another example, when the first popular computing device is a green light in the car, the first popular device must wait for the intersection to be provided. Weather conditions, time, etc. This is provided away from the RF link. Watch photos after t $ —when watching the film, watch at the information station.

When the user passes ’the map is stored in the user ’s popularity and called out to help guide the path. The computing device is a vending machine, and the status of the inventory in the machine or the current computing device is a service technician or a product office computer. The first device provides information to the first service and refill operation. The computing device is a vehicle traffic light and device. When the vehicle approaches the specified red information, such as the state of the user's expected traffic situation during passing, the latest information can be passed through, for example, a short distance
