At present the development of rapid communications equipment makes easier to communicate globally. Chat messenger application is used for android users to communicate through internet and have a chat such as line, whatsUp, blackberry messenger (BBM), yahoo messenger and so forth. In communicating via instant messages, some people may also experience problems when communicating with foreigners, of...
This paper presents a prototype system, designed and developed exploiting the Internet of Things paradigm and its related technologies with altruistic purposes. In fact, the system here described involves the iBeacon technology and BLE-capable smart phones, put to good use to provide an altruistic Internet of Things (IoT) platform. In particular, we implemented a mobile application, for iOS and Android...
The paper discusses about the multiple application prototype and a test called the ‘NfcShop Test’ carried in order to evaluate the usability of the same. The approach developed by us will allow the user to buy railway tickets, make hotel payments and pay for car parking, all by just tapping a Near Field Communication (NFC) device/Mobile on the Universal Receiver placed at point of sale (POS) terminal...
The use of smartphones and android applications has become a part of our everyday life. People use it for communication, entertainment and socialization purposes. Many of these applications available in online application markets can be used to broadcast live video and most of these applications are for socializing purposes. In this paper an android application idea is presented to broadcast a video...
One of the latest trends of realizing innovative Command and Control (C&C) channels involves leveraging Online Social Networks (OSNs) as a C&C channel. The number of botnets targeting the smartphones and the sophistication of those botnets have progressively increased. Due to their mobility, smartphones connect to a variety of networks which makes it harder for network centric detection of...
Object detection is one of the main challenges of cyber-physical systems for mobile applications. Mobile devices as embedded systems might not provide sufficient performance to meet the computational requirements for object detection, whereas it is not reasonable to enhance such devices with powerful processors. In this paper, we present a prototype system for mobile object detection based on smartphones...
Android has spread as a platform for not only smart phones and tablet devices but also embedded devices. When Android was adapted for embedded systems, various kinds of application software were considered. One of these applications is to build collaborative and cooperative work environments. In developing software for collaborative and cooperative work, transparent invocation of remote services in...
The Microsoft Kinect camera is a revolutionary and useful depth camera giving new user experience of interactive gaming on the Xbox platform through gesture or motion detection. Besides the infrared-based depth camera, an array of built-in microphones for voice command is installed along the horizontal bar of the Kinect camera. As a result, there are increasing interests to apply the Kinect camera...
In this paper, a map service prototype which is J2ME-supported and for smart phone has been designed and implemented based on Mobile SVG technology. The Mobile SVG is suitable for map service. It is a text format and can be organized and transformed easily. The prototype consists of two parts. One is the client application, the other one is the Server application. The protocol between client and server...
In this paper we experiment with multi-display mobile applications that can be used in an environment where multiple smart phones are co-located within the same space. Utilizing Remote User Interface techniques and the REST architectural style we propose a solution that follows the Remote Model-View-Controller model, in such a way that client devices do not need to have application specific software...
Mobile software, helped by the astonishing success from Apple iPhone's debut to Google Android's follow-up, has become a new and hot growth area in the software computing industry. From a software engineering point of view, cloud computing with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a potential paradigm shift following the major paradigm shift from mainframe based computing to client-server computing...
With the present technology and environment, we are able to interact with other people using online communities, while sometimes missing the opportunity to meet people in the real world. Location-based services have a strong correlation with the real world, and have the potential to develop online connections into off-line connections. However, most of these location-based services observe only users'...
This paper presents a library navigation system named LiNS, using a combination of Web, sensor and smart phone technologies. In addition to the function of an ordinary book search system, LiNS provides a library user with the function of finding the route from the current location point in the library to the point where the object the user needs is located. Furthermore, it offers the “See Also” function...
The advanced capabilities for location-based services of smart phones are mostly used for travel applications, navigation or business fleet management. We motivate a social emergency alert service that makes use of the wide availability of smart phones and activates nearby social contacts in cases of emergency. Research has shown, that especially in busy urban districts help from fellow citizens is...
The number of smartphone users and mobile application offerings are growing rapidly. A smartphone is often expected to offer PC-like functionality. In this paper, we present Virtual Smartphone over IP system that allows users to create virtual smartphone images in the mobile cloud and to customize each image to meet different needs. Users can easily and freely tap into the power of the data center...
