With the emergence of a promising technology, Cloud Computing is spreading its usage everywhere. Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) integrates cloud computing with mobile devices which holds a promise to run powerful and resource-intensive applications on mobile devices irrespective of its performance limitations (e.g., battery life, memory utilization and computation). Overcoming of these limitations is...
In this paper we propose the playback system for mashup based on mobile device in a sporting game. We designed the user experience for mobile environment: it was implemented so that a viewer can see the event segment video and the mashup information such as the additional information associated with it in the sporting game. Besides, it was also developed that a viewer can watch the main broadcasting...
Real-time monitoring of mental effort enables the possibility of dynamically adapting the challenge of a task given to an individual, thereby maintaining the skill-challenge balance. In this paper we propose a remote monitoring system for assessing mental effort or cognitive load using low cost Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) sensor. The variations in the skin conductance level measured using the GSR...
In this paper, we design and implement a face-based signage interacting system, called AdYou, for mobile users using smartphones. By using the AdYou system, mobile users only need to drag the service icon on the face of a particular target in a digital signage. AdYou is able to provide diverse services to mobile users through face detection and recognition techniques. Using the intuitive way of gesture-based...
Long running applications on resource-constrained mobile devices can lead to software aging, which is a critical impediment to the mobile users due to its pervasive nature. Mobile offloading that migrates computation-intensive parts of applications from mobile devices onto resource-rich cloud servers, is an effective way for enhancing the availability of mobile services as it can postpone or prevent...
This paper proposes a group-based emergency guiding system for mobile users using smartphones, called Go FAST, which can model the spatiotemporal mobility of indoor people. A dedicated path can be determined to provide the shortest evacuation time for each group of nearby people. The Go FAST system considers the corridor capacities and lengths, exit capacities, concurrent motion, distribution of indoor...
This paper presents the design and implementation of a system for simulating mixed reality in setups combining mobile devices and large backdrop displays. With a mixed reality simulator, one can perform usability studies and evaluate mixed reality systems while minimizing confounding variables. This paper describes how mobile device AR design factors can be flexibly and systematically explored without...
As smartphones have recently become one of the most popular devices worldwide, various convenient applications are being released. Now smartphones not only provide the ordinary internal processes such as dialing or receiving phone calls, sending text messages, and doing mobile banking wherever we are, but they also are beginning to control various other devices that are part of our lives. Through...
Nowadays, mobile devices have became more and more popular and powerful. Mobile devices provide an ability to connect to Internet, online sharing applications and access to cloud data. For that reason, each mobile device can play a role as communication and computing environment itself. This paper describes an agent-based architecture, which is residing on mobile devices and sharing multimedia data...
A smartphone is a personal device and as such usually hosts multiple public user identities such as a phone number, email address, and Facebook account. As each smartphone has a unique Bluetooth MAC address, Bluetooth discovery can be used in combination with the user registration to a server with a Facebook account. This makes it possible to identify a nearby smartphone related to a given Facebook...
There are several Optical Character Recognition (OCR) mobile applications on the market running on mobile devices, both android and iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod) platforms. The limitations of mobile device processor hinder the possible execution of computationally intensive applications that need less time of process. This paper proposes a framework of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on mobile device...
In the cloud computing, user authentication is an important security mechanism because it provides the functions of authentication, authorization, and accounting for cloud servers. However, the previously proposed user authentication schemes have many security and efficiency problems. In addition, these schemes can only work on single server environments. To solve the above problems, we propose a...
Recently, the fact that mobile devices with various kinds of hardware and software platforms constantly appear on the market has resulted in huge amount of mobile applications coming out based on different platforms. Thus a big challenge has emerged to design applications on the heterogeneous devices and operating systems (OSes). This paper proposes a completely cross platform mobile transparent computing...
This paper deals with exploring of the potential of writer identification by handwriting on a touch-screen phone for an application in access control systems. Our aim was to examine the possibility of writer recognition by a biometric model based on handwritten password. A mobile phone-server solution based on distributed blocks is proposed. The implemented approach performs a pre-processing block,...
The use of Android platform based mobile terminals has been growing high. On the down side, the number of attacks by malicious application is also increasing because Android platform is vulnerable to private information leakage. These malicious applications are easily distributed to users through open market or internet. An attacker inserts malicious code into mobile app which could be harmful tool...
This research paper presents the design of a proposed synchronization wireless algorithm based on message digest (SWAMD) as an aid to assist data synchronization between the mobile device database and the server-side database. SWAMD proposes storing images from the server-side database and the mobile device database in a message digest table in order to easily compare two images and pinpoint the rows...
Recently, there has been a remarkable upsurge in activity surrounding the adoption of Personal Health Records (PHRs). Since PHRs contain global patient information and not certain pieces collected by individual healthcare providers, they can be used as basic infrastructures for building and operating several important systems for both healthcare and the tax payers. Emergency medical systems (EMS)...
In this paper, we implements intrusion detection system for video surveillance which works well in wireless sensor networks (WSN) environment. Our system has been implemented using open geospatial consortium standard, and operated in the android platform of mobile environment. We also have been implemented intruder detection by machine learning technique. As a result, our system can achieve real-time...
A hospital's mobile nursing cart can collect clinical data via Wi-Fi networks and save data in the server side. This service not only provides better medical care, but also enhances staff productivity. However, the coverage of Wi-Fi is limited and signal dead ends will result in wireless disconnection. This problem can be solved by switching between Wi-Fi and 3G. The physical connection must be disconnected...
As the popularity of mobile devices increase, more and more smart phones are being utilized as main computing devices in recent years. Applications for mobile devices have been widely developing even more prevalent than those for PCs. Most mobile applications also integrate with web browsers, with JavaScript serving as an important framework for web-based mobile applications. However, these applications...
