So far mobile network users are enjoying better protection than Internet users thanks to the SIM card, a tampered resistant module providing strong authentication. To offer better protection to Internet users this paper proposes a solution called Universal Mobile Identity, which extends the usage of the current mobile identity to the access of Internet services. For signing on from mobile phone, tablet,...
Due to advances in techniques for digital ecosystems and cyber engineering, users can now submit queries to search for inclusive information from different Web objects using mobile handheld devices such as smartphones in many real-life situations. As these mobile devices are not necessarily connected to the Internet all the time, users usually want to be able to get information such as e-mail, news,...
The rapid development of wireless technology, the extensive use of mobile phones and the availability of location information are facilitating personalized location-based applications. Easy to carry, easy to use and easy to buy, smart phones with certain software are of great advantage. Consequently, mobile social networking (MSN) systems have emerged rapidly, being a revolution for our everyday life...
Mobile web browsing signifies accessing the content on web pages using a mobile device. It is common for Internet search engines to use keyword searching in which rank is assigned to each page based on several features. But it is an arduous task for a user to inscribe a keyword in such a delicate small mobile screen. A challenging research goal is the development of advanced web-based applications...
Accessing the Internet and specifically the World Wide Web from a mobile phone is common today. Especially since the usage fees for packet-data access dropped to a point where anybody who can can afford a mobile phone can afford mobile Internet access. Almost every mobile phone today comes with an integrated web browser that can display HTML web pages and execute JavaScript. Almost all major web sites...
Dakota State University has a unique computing environment. Every undergraduate student and professor has a school assigned tablet PC. In addition, it is the State of South Dakota's premier four year technology university. The university also hosts email, website, and website services for the state's K-12 program in addition to its own. The high use of the mobile computing environment serves as a...
WiFi sharing communities offer an attractive alternative to commercial hot-spots and cellular networks for users who seek Internet access while being away from home. The growing number of mobile devices with Internet usage capabilities has formed a basis for the establishment and growth of several such communities. However, critical security problems exist in all current WiFi sharing approaches because...
The Mobile Internet has become a first-class citizen of the Internet in many advanced countries. It is also increasing its broadband capabilities with the penetration of 3G. As increased penetration and bandwidth leverage mobile application business opportunities, it is important to identify methodologies for serving mobile-specific demands. Regularity is one of the important means of retaining and...
In this paper we describe the design and implementation details of a mobile application supporting news access and virtual community interactive services, based on open technologies such as Java programming language, Java Mobile Edition (Java ME) libraries, MySQL database and an open Web server. The goal was to create an easy to use, mobile, interactive, flexible and extensible client-server solution,...
The quality of interaction with a mobile website is arguably influenced by the prevailing conditions of use. The characteristics of the latter have not been sufficiently addressed in HCI literature yet, partly because they cannot be easily controlled in a usability study. Drawing on multidisciplinary theories, we propose a model hypothesizing on the effects of environmental context on the usability...
Nowadays, internet web sites and applications are efficient tools with which users interact by downloading and uploading data through a browser. Same functionality is not available through the phone for all internet web sites and applications. In this article, we propose a solution through which callers can call a global provider and specify the web site they wish to surf. A voice application will...
The hand-held systems and the wireless Internet access are widely available in recent years. However, the mobile learning with web content is still inconvenient. For example, the information has not well organized and it is uneasy to surf on the small screen of handheld device. We propose a mobile system based on the content of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a free content resource and has abundant contents...
This paper presents a self-guided tour system that allows a visitor to instantly share his/her notes or remarks about exhibits with others through the Internet. The note/remark not only can be stored with the exhibit information to be accessed by other visitors, but also can be broadcasted through microblogging in a timely manner. This provides an interaction mechanism for the visitor to feedback...
This study describes the design of problem-based learning strategy (PBL) integrated into LMS with mobile tools in a ubiquitous learning environment, which is called uPBL system. This paper discusses the analysis and design of PBL instructional steps for building a LMS system to create a new learning environment. A trial case was designed and implemented with elementary school teachers to obtain feedback...
Accessing the Internet from mobile devices is becoming increasingly popular, for the past few years mobile devices (mobile phone, smart phone, PDA, palmtop) have rapidly become an integral part of our lives, with an internet connection we can have access to any kind of web content. Mobile web users face a big problem that the majority of web content are tailored for desktop computers which can have...
The mobile Internet is characterized by ??Easy-come and easy-go?? characteristics, which causes challenges for many content providers. Enclosing end users and increasing mind share of each service are crucial for service adoption. The 24-hour clickstream provides a rich opportunity to understand user's behaviors. It also raises the challenge of coping with a large amount of mobile web log data. The...
Democratic in nature, the Blogosphere allows individuals to accumulate a tremendous amount of personal knowledge, share experiences, and express opinions. Based on blog contents and social-referral data, blog semantic analysis can identify individual expertise and an appropriate social network, thus obtaining word-of-mouth reviews of certain products or services. Effectively utilizing this opinion...
Learning activity based standards like the IMS Learning Design (IMS-LD) have recently emerged. Typical implementations of this standard rely on client-server architectures. This is problematic for resource limited mobile devices that may not have reliable Internet access. This paper presents the design and implementation of a system that takes a sub-set of the IMS LD design specification involving...
We present a system for making community driven websites easily accessible from the latest mobile devices. Many of these new devices contain an ensemble of sensors such as cameras, GPS and inertial sensors. We demonstrate how these new sensors can be used to bring the information contained in sites like Wikipedia to users in a much more immersive manner than text or maps. We have collected a large...
Mobile Internet becomes a first-class citizen of Internet in many advanced countries. As increased penetration leverages mobile application business opportunities, it is important to identify methodologies to serve mobile-specific demands. Regularity is one of the important measures to retain and enclose easy-come, easy-go mobile users. It is known that a user with multiple visits in one day with...
