Icons are small signs with fixed meanings. Icons are usually context
specific. For example in the context of a hotel, the client can often find icons in
hotel room books and safety guides. Scandic Hotel chain, for example, currently
provides the manual for its safety system in 14 languages. There are at least two
major shortcomings of this system: (1) in emergency or panic situations, it is very
difficult to find your own language from the leaflet, and (2) there are no Asian
languages. There is an obvious need for a global icon-based hotel safety language.
In our paper, we introduce an icon-based model, language and mobile application
for hotel safety.
