Information sharing system based on location in consideration of privacy for knowledge creation

In recent years, the advancement of information science has been promoting decentralization of our working surrounding's and asynchronous work timings. We are able to communication with others at anytime and anywhere and are free from the restrictions of time and place. However, the degree of complexity of communication has increased so that we are not able to communicate with others smoothly. As a result, knowledge creation is hampered because of the lack of communication. Therefore, we have researched the information sharing system based on location information for understanding the situation of members. However, using location information gives rise to two problems. One is the problem of privacy, and the other is the non-consecutive location information problem. We, therefore, constructed a system that is equipped with measures for overcoming these two problems. In this paper, we describe an experiment conducted on fifteen students of this school.
