Reading: 人 + 藝術 + 科技 = 悠閒逛東京
數位時代雜誌 2008 七月號 P.164
東京中城 U 化藝術導覽最照顧觀光客
外國觀光客到東京旅遊，如果租用東京中城提供的Ｕ化藝術導覽服務，就能以慢遊深入了解東京。這項系統可以感測使用者位置、顯示藝術品相關資訊，還將重要叉路做成圖像避免迷路，未來這項技術將拓展到東京更多觀光據點。
為什麼本來應該要完全放鬆的旅行，還被導遊催促著「快一點」？如果租用東京中城（Tokyo Midtown）提供的Ｕ化藝術導覽服務，就沒有人會催促你。不僅如此，這位導遊會說日、英、中、法、韓五種語言，自動感測你的位置，當你走到一項藝術品旁邊時，它就會提供相關資訊，包括藝術家的問候。這麼完美的導覽員，不是真人，也不是機器人，而是Ｕ化藝術導覽（ubiquitous art tour）。
這項技術是以 ucode 晶片，透過東京中城五百個收發器（ubiquitous marker），利用紅外線與無線區域網路（LAN），讓終端器（ubiquitous communicator）可以接收相關的資訊，然後使用者以專用的終端器進行藝術導覽。管理東京中城的三井不動產東京中城事業部經理市川俊秀表示，這項科技的應用不僅使用在東京中城的Ｕ化藝術導覽，並廣泛使用在東京中城內工作的管理。例如從業人員與警衛人員可以透過終端器，了解各樓層的使用情形與巡邏狀態，隨時保持安全的環境。
幫助觀光客漫遊東京
「Ｕ化藝術導覽」從去年六月起，在東京中城提供觀光客租用。這項藝術導覽包括中城內不同主題（藝術、建築、庭院等）、不同時程（四十分鐘至兩小時）的七個導覽行程選項。
七個行程因應使用者的參觀時間、參觀需求與天候因素，透過觸控螢幕的操作，可以一邊鑑賞東京中城裡的藝術，一邊看著終端器顯示的天氣資訊、位置地圖、導覽資訊與現在位置的圖像，即使初次來到東京中城的外國觀光客，也不用擔心迷路而錯過觀光重點。
這項導覽系統還能感測使用者的位置，並引導使用者到藝術品介紹定點，到了定點後即將相關資訊顯示在螢幕上，包括聲音、圖片、文字，以及藝術家製作藝術品的情形與專訪的影像等。為了防止使用者在龐大的商業設施裡迷路，Ｕ化導覽系統將重要的叉路或容易迷路的地方做成圖像，當使用者接近這些地方時，圖像就會在螢幕上提醒使用者避免迷路。

根據今天公佈的法院文件，Facebook今天同意支付金額不明的現金及股票，就有關創辦人祖克柏（Mark Zuckerberg ）是否剽竊哈佛大學同學創意、纏鬥已久的訴訟案，進行和解。
根據這份法院文件，本案各方2月達成一項暫時性協議。羞赧但身價數十億美元的24歲企業家祖克柏，遭哈佛大學同學及曾可望入選美國奧運划船隊的卡麥隆溫克勒佛斯（ Cameron Winklevoss ）及泰勒溫克勒佛斯（Tyler Winklevoss ）兄弟指控剽竊創意。
這項和解協議因為溫克勒佛斯之後提起異議而遭到拖延，他們主張這項和解不完全，而且Facebook沒有公佈有關祖克柏行為的重要文件，有詐欺行為。
加州北區地方法院法官華倫（James Ware）今天駁回這些指控，並判決這項和解是可行的，並命令此案相關各方7月2日出庭，以決定如何執行這項協議。
Facebook 原本的線上版本是給哈佛大學大一新生的照片介紹，讓他們更熟悉同學。過去四年，Facebook 允許網友與特定友人分享私密資料，在全球受到爆炸性歡迎，蔚為風潮。
指控的關鍵在於祖克柏大二時，受雇於溫克勒佛斯兄弟及第三名合夥人為「哈佛聯結」 （Harvard Connection）網站撰寫程式，祖克柏被控剽竊他們的創意來創立 Facebook。
透過這份和解，Facebook 實際上同意以現金與普通股，併購哈佛連結改組之後的公司 ConnectU。哈佛連結由溫克勒佛斯兄弟及合夥人納蘭德拉（Divya Narendra）所創辦。
和解條件密而不宣，溫克勒佛斯、納蘭德拉及 ConnectU 同意不再提起告訴。法院同意不透露和解的財務條件。

Judge backs Facebook deal in suit over origins
By Eric Auchard
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Facebook agreed to pay an undisclosed amount of cash and stock to settle a long- running legal battle over whether founder Mark Zuckerberg stole ideas for the site from fellow Harvard students, according to court documents released late on Wednesday.
The parties in the case -- which pitted Zuckerberg, a shy 24-year-old entrepreneur now worth billions of dollars, against former Harvard classmates and one-time U.S. Olympic team rowing hopefuls Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss -- agreed to a tentative settlement deal in February, according to the court papers.
The settlement agreement was delayed by a subsequent challenge by the Winklevosses, who argued the deal was incomplete and that Facebook had committed fraud by failing to disclose crucial documents related to Zuckerberg's actions.
On Wednesday, Judge James Ware of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California rejected those claims and ruled the settlement is enforceable and ordered the parties to a July 2 hearing to determine how to carry out the deal.
Facebook, begun as an online version of the introductory picture book first-year students at Harvard received to get acquainted with fellow students, has exploded into a worldwide phenomenon over the past four years for allowing Web users to share private details with a select group of their friends.
The dispute centered on accusations Zuckerberg copied ideas for Facebook after being hired as a Harvard University sophomore by the Winklevoss brothers and a third partner to write code for a site called Harvard Connection.
Through the settlement, Facebook effectively agreed to buy ConnectU, the successor company to Harvard Connection founded by the Winklevoss brothers, partner Divya Narendra, for cash and common stock.
Terms of the deal were confidential and the Winklevosses, Narendra and ConnectU agreed to make no future claims. The court agreed to seal the financial terms of the settlement.
Among the claims made by the Winklevosses in seeking to derail the settlement was that their father, Howard Winklevoss, an owner of a one percent share in ConnectU, had not been party to the agreement. Judge Ware ruled that, as a minor shareholder, his agreement to the settlement was unnecessary.
A spokesman for Facebook said the settlement deal, once finalized, would end separate, but related cases the two sides had been pursuing in courts in Boston and San Jose.
"The ConnectU founders understood the deal they made, and we are gratified that the Court rejected their false allegations of fraud," Facebook said in a statement. "Their challenge was simply a case of 'buyers remorse,' as described by the Boston Court earlier this month."
Facebook said it believed one factor holding up a settlement is a separate dispute between the Winklevosses and their original team of lawyers over their handling of the case. Facebook said it considered the ConnectU dispute closed.
Facebook had counter-sued, accusing the plaintiffs of breaking into its computers to steal member lists.
These lawsuits were first filed in September 2004 by the Winklevosses and ConnectU against Facebook, Zuckerberg and his co-founders. It alleged breach of contract and that Zuckerberg misappropriated trade secrets, among other complaints.
Thefacebook.com, as it was then known, was set up in early 2004 as a social site for Harvard students, but had already spread to other U.S. college campuses, attracting hundreds of thousands of members by the time the lawsuit was first filed.
Court papers filed by ConnectU state that Zuckerberg agreed to work for Harvard Connection founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss and Divya Narendra, then dragged his feet before launching Thefacebook.com in February 2004.
In the four years since then, the student phenomenon spread across the United States and the world. Two years ago, Facebook, which has relocated to Palo Alto, California, opened up the site to members of all ages.
Facebook has become Silicon Valley's hottest start-up company over the past year as it has catapulted to become the world's largest social network site, surpassing rival MySpace, a unit of News Corp, according to recent international monthly data from market researcher comScore Inc.
