Adaptive Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) are used to improve the interaction between users and interfaces by taking into account the state of the user and the system. This paper describes a solution that enables the generation of adaptable HMIs applying web application technologies in the Android Operating Systems. The solution is based on an Adaptive Human Machine Interface Engine, and in this article...
The advance of mobile technology has empowered learners. The affordance of mobile technology can be exploited to make education more pervasive and equitable. It expedites the pedagogical shift from teacher-centered to student-centered learning, enabling a ubiquitous learning environment that will promote students' engagement through multiple modalities. We explore ways to maximize the power of mobile...
Map services help people find places they wish to visit. Users input the target address and the system returns that location on a map, with additional information such as nearby points of interest, directions to the location, etc. However, these applications mainly focus on general knowledge, failing to provide personalized information that may help users find/identify a place faster. In this paper,...
As the rapid development of software and hardware platform in the mobile devices and mobile Internet, web application has been moved to a wide range of mobile devices. However, transporting traditional end to end technology of web applications to the mobile environment has encountered some difficulties as the mobile web application network bandwidth is small, network transmission is unstable, the...
The evolution of software must be concurred with that of hardware to provide users with best services. Despite of currently prominent evolution of hardware, lazy evolution of software prohibits users from utilizing full capabilities of mobile devices. So our institute is developing a mobile component runtime environment which can extend and optimize platform capabilities. It makes it possible that...
Today's mobile Internet service portals offer thousands of services and mobile devices can host plenty of applications, documents and web URLs. Hence, for average mobile users there is an increasing cognitive burden in finding the most appropriate service among the many available. On the other hand, methodologies such as bookmarks and resource tagging require a great arranging effort to handle increasing...
Mobile platforms usually have highly versatile resources. To be a successful interface solution for mobile devices, OCR should have high computational efficiency and adaptation to platform diversity, which are usually trivial in a desktop system, in addition to good recognition rate. In this paper, a practical case study is presented, in which an OCR software is reformed from desktop to embedded version...
The use of computers in education has greatly increased during the last two decades. At the same time, technology advances have opened new spaces and possibilities for the field of computer-based edutainment-education in the form of entertainment - where learners can achieve their learning goals while having fun. Games on mobile phones have become a significant part of the contemporary culture experienced...
For companies to establish their mobile commerce applications, the fundamental challenge is how to extend existing enterprise applications with mobile functionality in order to provide remote staff with real-time business data while at the same time avoiding alteration of existing system codes. Due to increased diversity of business data and mobile devices, many of current mobile commerce applications...
Mobile devices are considered to be very useful in ad-hoc and team collaborations, for example in disaster responses, where dedicated infrastructures are not available. Such collaborations normally require flexible and interoperable services while running on mobile devices and being integrated with various other services. Therefore, middleware and toolkits for developing mobile services which can...
In the past few years, many new development toolkits such as the Nebula2 and/or mobile technologies including the WiFi or mobileTV have opened up exciting learning opportunities on mobile devices. On top of it, new technologies continue to fuel the rapid growth of newly merged fields of research like the edutainment for educational entertainment. In a recent teaching development project, we have developed...
Aircraft engine repair and overhaul (AERO) is an area of professional activity that draws heavily upon an engineer's knowledge. While engine maintenance typically follows a structured process, engine repairs are subject to unstructured processes. Such knowledge intensive professions benefit most from mobile knowledge management applications, but access of unstructured knowledge on mobile devices has...
We present empirical analysis of human searches for information from mobile devices, focusing on temporal dynamics, semantics, and topics of queries. Our analysis is based on a large scale data of mobile search logs over a week period from a major US mobile service provider. We find that human searches appear in bursts over time with the distribution of the query inter arrival time following a power...
