Boat is one of the most popular vehicles for local people and tourists to travel in Bangkok, Thailand, since there is no traffic jam. Without accurate arrival time, however, boat becomes an inconvenient transportation since the waiting time can be varied from 10 minutes to an hour. In this paper, we propose a novel boat arrival time prediction system by using passengers' mobile phones. The system...
Mobile authentication systems for mobile payment often use either the web or mobile channel individually to confirm the identity request of a remote user. Most common activity in mobile commerce is done through mobile phones. The mobile phones are vulnerable to numerous security threats due to involvement of valuable financial and personal information.
Latest innovations demand the employment of web based services and applications in Internet rather than developing the applications. This paradigm shift could be attributed with the high scalability of Web Applications. The Cloud Phone is HTML5 based mobile device. In this device all the user functionalities, applications and entire tope level UI/UX will be downloaded and cached from a cloud server...
When disasters occurs, cellular network might be down and cannot serve subscribers anymore. On the other hand, many victims trapped in a wreckage might still have access to their mobile phone. An OpenBTS-based cellular network has been long before known as an ideal solution to rapidly deploy emergency GSM cellular network in situation after disaster. We propose to deploy a mobile OpenBTS along with...
Heterogeneous devices with large displays have become popular in people lives. While conveying public information, most of them are lack of support for human interaction. This paper proposes a cross device interaction system for users to conveniently manipulate the content on public displays through personal mobile terminals with cameras. Users acquire, insert, and act on elements of the displayed...
Mobile phone users are being increasingly directed to WEB sites through the identification of the WEB address from a two-dimensional code on the phone. However, incidents where mobile phones direct users to malicious WEB sites are also increasing. The direct lead mechanism, in which mobile phones directly send users to an uninspected WEB address, is the most common mechanism by which users are misdirected...
The paper addresses development of a mobile health (mHealth) system for remote acquisition of patient data using Bluetooth technology. The proposed system aims at improving chronic disease management using low cost mobile phones. This is of great advantage especially when the patient is on the move. This is achieved by using the mobile's Bluetooth to transfer health data from patients' medical devices...
With widespread Internet usage, e-commerce became common way of conducting business. Money transactions and payments online are an ever increasing trend. Unfortunately, problems in terms of security arise as well. Most of the potential consumers choose to abstain from online money transfer due to the privacy concerns. In order to strengthen the trust and gain their acceptance, security improvements...
Recent mobile device and vision technology advances have enabled mobile Augmented Reality (AR) to be serviced in real-time using natural features. However, in viewing augmented reality while moving about, the user is always encountering new and diverse target objects in different locations. Whether the AR system is scalable or not to the number of target objects is an important issue for future mobile...
In 2007, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan tested 16 different models of a safety support system for children on school routes. One of the models was constructed and tested at a school in an area of the city of Hiroshima from September to December of 2007. For the model project, we developed a new safety support system for children on school routes by using a mobile ad hoc...
In this paper, a new mobile Augmented Reality (AR) framework which is scalable to the number of objects being augmented is proposed. The scalability is achieved by a visual word recognition module on the remote server and a mobile phone which detects, tracks, and augments target objects with the received information from the server. The server and the mobile phone are connected through a conventional...
The growth in numbers and capacity of mobile devices such as mobile phones coupled with widespread availability of inexpensive range of services presents an unprecedented opportunity for mobile health care applications. Blood donation and transfusion service is one of the most complex management systems in health sector. Quality management of a Blood Transfusion Services (BTS) starts with safe blood...
NFC technology can be integrated into existing systems to simplify and speed up the process of monitoring and control of these systems. In this paper we address a problem pertaining to the complexity of the monitoring and control of sensor or measurement equipment. Manual monitoring of measurement systems can be a tedious endeavor, especially in systems where the measurements are numerous and at regular...
Ubiquitous computing technologies have been developed fast and various decision support systems were proposed. Consecutively, in recently, people are working on an implicit service agent of mobile phone to make people to be provided useful services without paying attentions. However, when people want to buy some products or to go somewhere, people are still going to use Internet to get preference...
The design of portable low cost systems for remote monitoring of patients with chronic diseases is one of the most important fields in telemedicine and telecare. Using Bluetooth communication technology, which can be added to some medical equipment, may enhance the efficiency of patient monitoring. In this paper a low cost, secure portable system with wireless transmission is presented to monitor...
A combination of modern technology and hand-crafted items is used as a learning tool for children. Instructions from a server are relayed via a cellular phone network to the user. The user places hand-crafted objects on a transparent surface and their positions are captured with a motion camera. Captured data is immediately available to a teacher monitoring the child's activities and also stored for...
We present an ontology-based reasoning approach for saving energy in a smart home setting where a mobile phone can serve as a generic sensor which can collect the inhabitant's contextual data. The paper details an ontology that describes the smart home domain and a prototype to test the system. Finally, we conclude with lessons learned from our work in developing an energy-aware smart home prototype...
In today's world, ensuring security for important locations is a burning issue. Different surveillance methodologies such as alarm system, CCTV, PC based video system are used to ensure this security. But using all these systems, it is not possible for a person to monitor the security of his or her desired location when they are outside. Now-a-days anybody can communicate with anyone at anytime around...
A framework to support creation of location based services (LBS) applications using map services is designed and implemented. It provides a means to develop interoperable LBS applications which are independent of service provider, device or data providers. Application developers can use the framework to utilize multiple map servers following Web Map Service (WMS) and Web Feature Service (WFS) standards...
Cashless electronic transaction is getting immense popularity nowadays due to its procedural and bureaucratic simplicity. Almost each and every organization and financial institutes prefers electronic transaction in lieu of pen-paper based banking approach, which depends on high speed internet technology. However, this online monetary transaction is a long cherished blessing for the developed countries...
