Nowadays there is a widespread diffusion of mobile applications for weight and diet management. Even though, the most popular apps are not usually experimented in clinical contexts, as well as apps are not supported by medical evidence. Further research is necessary to assess the effectiveness of apps for weight and diet management. Moreover, there are few examples of food recommender systems that...
To enhance the computer science curriculum, a mobile device application (smart phone app), Kizzle, was developed and is currently tested in an introductory course in computer science. The motivation for the app comes from recent literature that indicates that women and students of color are less likely to participate in class, either to ask or answer questions [1][2]. As a result of this “shyness”...
In recent years, the use of smart devices is becoming increasingly popular. All kinds of mobile applications are emerging. In addition to the official market, there are also many ways to allow users to download the mobile app. As unidentified instances of malware grow day by day, off-the-shelf malware detection methods identify malicious programs mainly with extracted signatures of codes, which only...
In the last few years, there is a change of backend paradigm for modern mobile applications (Apps). Traditionally, one has to develop a complete system, from the mobile front-end to the backend. This practice has evolved much with the recent introduction of the cloud-based backend to the mobile service development community. This paper discusses and studies selected Mobile-Backend-as-a-Service (mBaaS)...
Many of the world's great museums, cultural heritage sites, and other tourist locations offer their visitors some sort of companion mobile app. These apps have features that range from providing basic information to detailed exhibit data, guided tours, interactive displays and augmented reality. With very few exceptions, these apps are purpose-built for each specific venue. We describe a general extensible...
The system combines the wireless communication technology and medical sensor detection technology, to realize the remote medical monitoring of multiple physiological parameters. As the basis of the Android platform, the mobile health platform construct a health report with physical examination, health guidance for every members in family. After using the corresponding physiological data acquisition...
With the explosion of Web 2.0, platforms such as blogs, e-commerce sites, peer-to-peer networks and social media, consumers have a broad platform and unlimited power to share their experiences in the form of reviews. With this, bulks of reviews are available for a single product, that needs to be analyzed, processed and mine. Opinion Mining or Sentiment Analysis is a Natural Language Processing and...
Mobile and smart health care exists some questions and challenges including signs and symptoms information collection, remote real-time detection and online information push. In this paper, remote network vital sign information monitoring system and cloud data storage platform is designed and implemented to solve the problems mentioned above. The system is realized based on STM32 wearable hardware...
In the paper, an efficient spatial clustering algorithm, the improved DBSCAN (Density Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise), is proposed, for cluster analysis of trajectory points gathered from Digital Movies Mobile Playing Systems(DMSs). By searching the density of points which are greater than a given threshold in rural areas, the density-reachable maximum movie playing clusters are...
In many cites, car drivers search for a parking slot during the peak hours or in traffic congestion. This paper presence an efficient method to check the availability of the parking slot and to reserve a slot. Existing work focuses on availability of the parking slot only. However drivers in this fast paced world can't judge whether a parking slot is available on-demand. To overcome this disadvantage,...
Indoor location can be of great assistance to shoppers: it enables them to find products, navigate around a large store or receive location specific promotions. Business owners also benefit from the collection of location data and movement patterns, as well as the potential for increased revenue and customer engagement by communicating with the user while in the shop. However, so far the lack of ubiquitous...
Considering the development of mobile payment systems and feasibility and suitability of payment protocols we need to provide security requirements of users as well. In this paper we first introduce LMPP and MPCP protocols and show how these two protocols are unable to satisfy anonymity and unlinkability of merchant to issuer. Then we propose a lightweight mobile payment protocol that is based on...
One of the fundamental building blocks of a mobile application is the ability to persist program data between different invocations. Referred to as persistence, this functionality is commonly implemented by means of persistence frameworks. When choosing a particular framework, Android—the most popular mobile platform—offers a wide variety of options to developers. Unfortunately, the energy, performance,...
With RFID applying in library, this paper develops an Internet of Things System for Library Materials Management using Android based UHF mobile reader (Android mobile reader) as its entry to increase the efficiency of library materials management. The functions of the Internet of Things System for Library Materials Management include user identification, inventorying, adding, refreshing, searching,...
An aggregating server providing data access to multiple data sources is a software architecture that is often applied in industrial applications. This paper presents a design of an aggregating server based on OPC UA technology and tests it with two different experimental applications, one about production control of a flexible manufacturing system and another about remote monitoring of mobile work...
Traditional AR frameworks for gaming and advertising focus on tracking 2D static targets. This limits the plausible use of this solutions to certain application cases like brochures or posters, but deprives their use for dynamically changing 2D targets, such as video walls or electronic billboards used in advertising.In this demo, we show how to use a rapid, fully mobile image recognition system to...
Ocular biometrics refers to personal identification using iris, conjunctival vasculature, periocular or eye movements. Contrary to most of other biometric traits, ocular biometrics does not require high user cooperation and close capture distance. Biometrics is now adopted ubiquitously as an alternative to passwords on mobile devices. Especially, ocular biometrics in the visible spectrum has attracted...
Ocular recognition algorithms, including iris matching, have been used in several applications including large scale national ID projects such as India's Aadaar. Deployment of large-scale biometric systems is expected to rely on using multiple devices including mobile devices to ensure widespread adoption of biometric recognition systems. Ocular images captured using mobile devices may have challenges...
With the unprecedented mobile technology revolution, a number of ocular biometric based personal recognition schemes have been proposed for mobile use cases. The aim of this competition is to evaluate and compare the performance of mobile ocular biometric recognition schemes in visible light on a large scale database (VISOB Dataset ICIP2016 Challenge Version) using standard evaluation methods. Four...
The integration of wearable and integrated sensing technologies with cloud computing has the potential to promote the development of large-scale monitoring applications and to provide public safety as a service to end-users. In this paper, we proposed a system that relies on the integration of heterogeneous sensor networks and cloud computing to build distributed public safety databases and to provide...
