This paper discusses both principles and implementations of new methods to expand traditional Web information systems to mobile application systems by integrating existing enterprise resources for several objectives, including adding new enterprise services, improving the efficiency, and enhancing the image of the enterprise. In particular, through the study of a real instance, which is a Web-based...
Self-reporting patient data are valuable feedback for medical treatment and care process, as well as for clinical trial studies and support of medical treatment. However, traditional paper-based medical patient longitudinal surveys or questionnaires for health and well-being status information are time- and cost-consuming, and may suffer from low patient compliance. Consequently, an NFC-based electronic...
Ubiquitous computing technologies have been developed fast and various decision support systems were proposed. Consecutively, in recently, people are working on an implicit service agent of mobile phone to make people to be provided useful services without paying attentions. However, when people want to buy some products or to go somewhere, people are still going to use Internet to get preference...
We present Back Talk, a prototype that enhances video viewing for distributed viewers. The system captures engagement, general attentiveness, and viewer comments; the output auditory environment comprises audio cues triggered by sensed data, and comments.
Cell phone based mobile healthcare is becoming a trend. This paper describes a generic framework of mobile healthcare system based on a Blue tooth enabled cell phone and proposes an open communication protocol between cell phone and the biomedical sensors. The communication protocol should complete the functions of data transmission, sensor management, state feedback, network maintenance, etc. It...
For accessing Internet, a reusable password method is frequently used because of its simplicity. This reusable password method is very vulnerable. In recent years, with the explosive growth of the Internet user, user passwords are often incorrect handled and this attestation system is very dangerous. To solve these vulnerability problems of the attestation system, the one-time password, biometric...
With the explosive international growth in mobile phone adoption, there is an increasing number of text message-based applications providing mission-critical services to mobile phone owners. With such an unexpected leap in the mobile subscriber base, questions have arisen over the reliability of Short Message Service (SMS) as a communication channel in regions of high mobile teledensity growth. This...
Ambient Intelligence environments consist of various devices that collect, process, change and share the available context information. The imperfect nature of context, the open and dynamic nature of ambient environments, and the special characteristics of the involved devices have introduced new research challenges on how to represent and reason with contextual information. Previous work presented...
We propose a novel communication system for evacuees of shelters, termed "Shelter Communication System (SCS)". SCS is composed of a computer (termed Shelter Server) connected to the Internet and a set of personal computers (termed shelter PCs), one in each shelter, connected to Shelter Server through a temporal link and the Internet. SCS provides a message communication service between shelters...
The current group of teenagers has been called many things - some of the terms unprintable in respectable publications. However terms such as the “thumb tribe” (because they can type faster on their cell phones with their thumbs than adults can type on a keyboard using ten fingers) and “gamers” (because they play computer games for hours, and even days, at a time) are indicative of the close relationship...
Mobile devices often store data in reduced resolutions or custom formats in order to accommodate resource constraints and tailor-made software. The Polyjuz framework enables sharing and synchronization of data across a collection of personal devices that use formats of different fidelity. Layered transparently between the application and an off-the-shelf replication platform, Polyjuz bridges the isolated...
This paper explores the suitability and effectiveness of employing cell phones for real-time data collection and tracking on-board automobiles. We present a novel application that runs in a commercially available GPS-enabled cell phone to continuously log a vehicle's driving and engine performance and geocode the collected data at regular intervals. Data are reported to a central server in real-time,...
Pedestrian navigation system has been widely used in many fields. In order to offer navigation information intelligible for pedestrian, we provide navigation sentences to users, which can be easily displayed on cellular phones with small display area. In addition, the navigation sentences can be converted into voice, which is useful for users in some special situations or with visually impairment...
This paper proposes a mobile phone integrated alarming-system, which has two models: mobile, fixed alarm-ways. The alarming information contains local sound, video and GPS information. The system provides two ways of reading the alarming information: web ways and mobile alarming media player ways for instant checking or repeated watching and analysis .The real-time transmission of sound and video...
Paper presents results of research based on need to have capable-enough data exchange framework on J2ME CDLC 1.0+ MIDP 1.0+ platform. Presented solution fulfils those needs by providing Midletcomm package with many features, user friendly and extensible interface.
During the last few years, mobile devices such as cellular phones and PDAs have become sophisticated tools for creating digital content. Moreover, their built-in or attachable sensor capabilities make it possible to derive metadata that denote the context of the user. The challenge of annotating digital content with contextual metadata is a central part of our current research efforts and the main...
One of the largest IT challenges in the health and medical fields is the ability to track large numbers of patients and materials. As mobile phone availability becomes ubiquitous around the world, the use of Near Field Communication (NFC) with mobile phones is emerging as a promising solution to this challenge. The decreasing price and increasing availability of mobile phones and NFC allows us to...
Personal devices and access systems have recently become more diversified, and there is a need for technology that enables users to flexibly and securely create their own private services in a user-driven manner, utilizing the presently available access systems and devices. To this end, the authors have designed user-driven service creation architecture (USCA). It enables users to create a secure...
Two difficult problems pertain to selection of an evacuation route according to each individual??s situation. One is constant supervision of the situation of a living space and detection of dangerous situa-tions; the other is detection of residents' respective positions. In this paper, we describe devices and systems for an indoor emergency evacuation using a mobile terminal such as a cell phone or...
Escalation in the use of lightweight devices leads us to create a concrete base for future nomadic applications, positioned in a changing environment. In this paper, a framework is presented that manages agent communication in a wireless environment. Application development on handheld devices using software agent technology is becoming more and more popular around the world. The agent based framework...
