While wearable devices have been the buzzword inthese days, they are still in the infant market stage. Thoughdemand for wearable devices has skyrocketed, the early abandonmentof devices become an important issue. Many studiesexamine the usage of wearable devices with user survey. However,it is essential to look at the real behavior of wearable users howand why wearable users enjoy or abandon devices...
Some regard the smartwatch as little more than an extra phone screen, but it can be a powerful tool that reduces the time we spend using other devices, enabling us to better manage our digital lives without missing out on important information.
Individuals diagnosed with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) often exhibit multiple challenging behaviors such as stereotyping, non-compliance, self-injuries, and aggression. The lack of a target behavior across schools, homes, and clinical settings not only impedes an individual learning on academic and self-help skills, but also disrupts their integration into school and society. To maintain the target...
Smartphones and desktop computers are ubiquitous in today's world. Due to the improved computing power and high portability of smartphone devices, users are performing more sophisticated tasks on their smartphones. This study compares the performance of a web-based task on a desktop computer with a mobile-based task on a smartphone. In addition, we have compared the overall user experience and preference...
The paper concerns the problem of using and implementing mobile solutions in SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises). Some of the existing examples of mobile solutions are analyzed and characterized. A significant part of the paper is a presentation of the research on mobile solutions which can be used to manage the business activities in SMEs. The role and methods of testing the mobile systems have been...
Due to exponential increase in the information transfer or communication using messages; Short Message Service (SMS) has become important. The efficient and easy to use techniques are being developed for SMS. In the last few years, SMS has made a big impact on the way of communication. Instead of communicating over the phone using voice, people prefer SMS for messaging as well as for information exchange...
Neuropsychological assessment is a key issue to obtain a prior dementia diagnosis and is traditionally supported by standard neuropsychological test batteries (NPS). In daily practise, clinicians administer a high number of NPS tests, however, the supervision of such tests and posterior assessment is not a simple issue. After two decades, computer-based NPS batteries have received considerable attention...
Performing hajj and umrah is one of the five pillars of Islam. The ritual involves many rules and procedures, and to remember all these rules and procedures usually poses a problem for pilgrims. The advancement of IT can provide a solution to the problem mentioned above. Hence, we apply the Internet and smart phone technologies to develop the M - Umrah application for users. The target users of this...
Flying developments of mobile technology bring new opportunities to teaching, people begin to exert themselves to integrate the predominance of mobile technology into curriculums. This paper first discusses the classification of mobile technology and its influences on education domain, then it analyses the learning surrounding of mobile device. Based on it, this paper expounds on the technology selection...
The portable and immediate communication properties of mobile devices influence the learning processes in interacting with peers, accessing resources and transferring data. How to use communication technologies to improve mobile learning is an important topic in electronic education. Meanwhile, media selection can be a critical issue of supporting various reader devices and providing potential benefits...
The estimation performance of radio communication and radar propagation with high degree of accuracy is possible provided the results of radio environment are also available with good degree of accuracy. There are advancements on such results both for ionized and non ionized media due to the availability of sophisticated and computer controlled with data archive facility systems. Measurements of various...
Mobile learning, a relatively new concept, has gathered momentum and attracted the interest of educators, researchers, and companies developing learning systems and instructional materials. A principal goal of this study was to develop a suitable system for environmental education via mobile technologies. Students sent text messages using the Short Message Service (SMS), and pictures using the Multimedia...
This paper provided MML (mobile agent based mobile service language) for ubiquitous computing. The aim of MML is to provide a kind of friendly and seamless mobile service language. It also states the semantics using formal method. Also MML brings forward the context awareness mechanism formobile service in ubiquitous computing.
With the prosperity of SMS (short message service), there are more and more SMS spam. This paper proposes a method for filtering group sending SMS Spam, which combines black-and-white list technology and CAPTCHA (completely automated public Turing test to tell computers and human apart) technique. At first, it utilizes black-and-white list technique to check out the SMS account. If the SMS account...
In this paper we propose "SoTong" system for enhancing family relationship with relation oriented communication. In the relation oriented communications, we focus on the relationship by representation and promotion of relations together with awareness of other's situation for the connectedness and the coexistence. The system captures and analyzes communication channels among modern families...
Today's mobile devices have inherited many of the characteristics of desktop computing -- including the assumptions that the user's full attention and dexterity can be focused on the interface. Unfortunately, on-the-go users are impaired by their mobility and often find desktop-style Windows Icon Menu and Pointer (WIMP) interfaces difficult, if not impossible, to use while performing their primary...
Ensuring public security is an important issue for every government, and effective public security depends on the efficiency of criminal justice processes and procedures. The procedures of the criminal justice may be viewed as the upper-, middle-, and down-stream sections of a supply chain. Like their business counterparts, most law enforcement agencies have to deal with logistics, information flow,...
Advances in micromachining technology can facilitate the integration of SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) devices and CMOS circuitry on IC scale substrate for Monolithic fabrication. The optimal design and performance of these filters can be reached by using new Smart materials. The key component in the structure of the SAW device is the piezoelectric materials used which depends mainly on some important...
Image segmentation is the key step from image processing to image analysis. Ostu thresholding, which features a good performance, is one of the main image threshold segmentation methods. Like other threshold methods, the application of the Otsu has been restricted for the long-paying computation. In order to overcome the disadvantages and get better results, a new method based on quantum particle...
