There are more than 220 million diabetics in the world and 5% of global deaths was resulted from diabetes or diabetes complications. The cost of diabetes of medical and healthcare is very high at each state. Diabetics can be controlled through proper self-care behaviors, risk of the complications like the disease of eyes; kidney; nerve and cardiovascular system can be deduced through positively blood...
Unknown to most North American consumers, a mobile data and Internet service in Japan called i-mode has been highly successful in that country for the past decade. Unfortunately, mobile data services in North America have lagged behind many European and Asian countries. However, the situation changed rapidly with the iPhone, launched in the US in June 2007. Consumers lined up for days for the chance...
This study aims to explain the factors determining multiple subscriptions in the Swedish mobile phone market. A generalized Poisson model of count data from a national survey in Sweden finds that business subscriptions and house-hold size are the main predictors of the multiple mobile phone subscriptions, along with individual demographic characteristics such as, age, gender and type of occupation...
This study aims at investigating the adoption behavior of mobile Internet users in Greece. An integrated model comprising of seven factors was developed and tested through the execution of a national telephone survey (N=139). The results of the survey suggest that the emotional state of individuals while using mobile Internet, social influence from their peers, and their personal innovativeness comprise...

The Price decision and game process is studied between mobile network provider (MP) and service provider (SP) in China mobile internet supply chain. The game results in decentralized decision pattern and centralized pattern are analyzed and compared. The results show that centralized decision can make Pareto improvement, where the consumer payments are lower, but supply chain profits are higher than...
After through the destructive strike of serious earthquake happened in Sichuan province had the mental health of people in disaster areas been downcast for quite a long time. To avoid this situation being worse, it's Post-Trauma Mobile Service (PTMS) that was launched and deployed to improve the status of people both in the physical and mental aspects. In this study, we will discuss a newly-issued...
We propose a novel flagging system (FS) to make the Neural Network Controller (NNC), which is an extant real-time dynamic buffer tuner, more realistic for real-time applications over the mobile Internet. Even though the extant NNC may prevent buffer overflow, it fails under certain traffic conditions easily. This happens because the intrinsic NNC control intelligence cannot handle the whole spectrum...
Both of mobile multimedia and mobile Internet are the important development directions of the mobile service. However, it would take on great cost by using the high data transmission rate of wireless multimedia communication service. Under the premise of not increasing the investment in hardware, the personalized service could be applied to the mobile service to not only reducing wireless multimedia...
With continued expansion of the Mobile Internet users, Mobile Internet has become an important tool for capturing information, transaction, and social interaction. For the scholars, focus on the Mobile Internet users' online visiting behavior and try to obtain some yardsticks to gauge the success of Mobile Internet websites and content sites become an important task. However, the owing to the difficulty...
The inherent limitations of mobile devices (MD) increase the gap between security and performance, and this gap increases with the growing heterogeneity of computing environments. As we are moving to the 4G network and Mobile Internet, there will be a need to deliver an intelligence tradeoff between security and performance. The main aim of this paper is to identify challenges in MD research and to...

The mobile Internet and location-enabled mobile devices have become increasingly popular, inspiring a new type of communication network. This near-me area network (NAN) focuses on communication among wireless devices in close proximity, creating a new kind of application domain. This article introduces NAN and reviews existing applications and challenges.
The mobile Internet is characterized by ??Easy-come and easy-go?? characteristics, which causes challenges for many content providers. Enclosing end users and increasing mind share of each service are crucial for service adoption. The 24-hour clickstream provides a rich opportunity to understand user's behaviors. It also raises the challenge of coping with a large amount of mobile web log data. The...
The mobile Internet emerges and penetrates into every day life. The difference between the mobile Internet and the PC Internet is interesting. It is also important to capture the business model differences if any exists. The author focuses location-based game applications to highlight the mobile specific service development issues. The author proposes a framework model to position location-utilized...
As there are several limitations using mobile internet, mobile content personalization seems to be an alternative to enhance the experience of using mobile internet. In this paper, we propose the mobile content personalization framework to facilitate collaboration between the client and the server. This paper investigates clustering and classification techniques using K-means and Artificial Neural...
This paper firstly review the mobile communication markets in China, U.S. and Europe. And then uses the sectoral system of innovation approach to analyze the industry convergence and the transformation of the mobile communications system of innovation, including: types of industry convergence and industry convergence by product complementarity: the advent of the mobile Internet.
As the era of NGN comes, the combination of mobile communication and fixed internet becomes the great goal of communication personalization, namely mobile internet. So it is of sense to study the internet applications in mobile condition. In this paper, we focus on PPStream (PPS) system with UDP (U-PPS) and TCP (T-PPS) respectively for comparison in mobile environment, mainly through the simulation...
The Internet is going mobile, and indications are that the mobile Internet will be ??bigger?? than the conventional Internet. Due to aspects such as user mobility, much more diverse use situations, and the form factor of mobile devices, context awareness is important on the mobile Internet. Focusing on geo-spatial context awareness, this talk covers research that aims to build infrastructure for mobile...
This paper is written to show that a mobile phone is most suitable a terminal to control home network system considering accessibility and user convenience. There are methods like that SMS having advantages of communication costs and direct-reaction and Mobile internet having advantages of high level user interface and scalability. This paper presents SMS control technique based on the instant messenger...
