The electronic calendar usually serves as a personal organizer and is a valuable resource for managing daily activities or schedules of the users. Naturally, a calendar provides various contextual information about individual's scheduled events/appointments, e.g., meeting. A number of researchers have utilized such information to predict human behavior for mobile communication, by assuming a predefined...
Mobile or cellular phones can record various types of context data related to a user's phone call activities. In this paper, we present an approach to discovering individualized behavior rules for mobile users from their phone call records, based on the temporal context in which a user accepts, rejects or misses a call. One of the determinants of an individual's phone behavior is the various activities...
We present a novel context acquisition and management middleware for mobile phones based on Qt (C++ based cross-plattform API) for S60 called mSense. In our middleware, sensor nodes encapsulate platform level APIs for seamlessly accessing hardware sensors, simulated sensors or web services. Aggregators (channels) combine information from other nodes to generate new knowledge. For example, GPS, accelerometer...
Tagging technologies like barcode and RFID have made a revolution in our lives. These technologies when combined with mobile technology can result in many potential applications. These applications can range from simple object identification applications where the user scans a tag of a certain object and then get information about that object, to complex applications where tags are used as a mean...
What is the role of mobile devices in education? Mobile phone ownership has proliferated at an explosive rate over the last decade. The entrenchment of this technology in everyday life necessitates a critical examination of the roles it can play in education. A varied cross-section of case studies in mobile education was selected and analyzed with the primary aim of providing a critical landscape...
We describe a framework for wireless sensor network (WSN) based mobile mashup applications. The framework consists of four functional components: WSN, mobile gateway, context management platform, and mashup server. The WSN deployed in the application domain senses the physical phenomena and the human-environment interaction and expresses them in sensor readings. The mobile phone is used as the gateway...
Fifty-eight people used a mobile phone/near-to-eye display combination with three different applications: movie viewing, game playing, and reading. After a 40-min immersion period participants completed several questionnaires related to the usage experience, comfort, workload, and individual features. We found many differences in user experiences between tasks as well as a number of associations between...
