In recent years, with the development of mobile computing technology, mobile learning based on smart phone and other mobile terminal is coming. Learners can study with their mobile devices at anytime and anywhere, which breaks in time and space constraints of traditional learning. Learners can take full advantage of spare time in life to do autonomic learning. This paper has explore the concept and...
This scheme is a method for controlling functionality of a mobile device. The operation of the element function of the mobile device is blocked by a blocking code, and the operation of the blocked element function is unblocked by an unblocking code. The blocking code is a code used to block the operation of the element function of the mobile device in an area in which a user is located, and the unblocking...
In order to provide tourists with a pleasant and economical sightseeing experience by using the information technologies and integrating with big data, a multi-purpose integrated system is proposed to construct smart scenic spots by using the information technologies such as IoT and mobile computing. The proposed system is capable of sensing environmental information in and around the scenic spots,...
Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets are provisioned with multiple network interfaces capable of data connectivity such as the cellular radio, WiFi, bluetooth, and others. However, restrictions from the carrier side allow us to use only one of the interfaces at any given time, and not allow us to fully utilize all the data links in a mobile device's arsenal. We propose MIC, an architecture...
In the age of scientific development, people are becoming more and more dependent on mobile phones. The proposed mobile application is designed to reduce the manual work and ease out teaching and learning in academics. This method has been proposed in view of needs of both the faculty as well as the students of any college. Firstly, this application automatically mark the student attendance, stores...
With the advancement of sensor-embedded mobile electronic devices, participatory sensing has attracted more and more attention because it can collect data, analyze information and outsource tasks to those devices' users. However, range query results obtained at the requesters and dissemination data produced at the providers are usually sensitive and private to be disclosed, e.g., users' locations,...
Smart mobile devices have become ubiquitous, and people prefer to choose smartphone in daily life rather than use traditional personal computer. However, due to the hardware capability, performance of smartphones varies greatly and sometimes it cannot meet the demand of users. Furthermore, if smartphone is attacked by malicious application, the local private sensitive information will be leaked which...
Recent years, as mobile devices are getting more and more popular, Apps on mobile devices accessing to multiple cloud services through mobile Internet is continuously increasing. However, compared to the traditional PC, mobile devices have a limitation in the ability of storage, the ability of computation, battery capacity and so on, which makes it difficult to handle complicated tasks under mobile...
Nowadays, mobile computing is the norm of everyday life. People use mobile device such as iPhone communicate with each other by email, WhatsApp and WeChat etc., by video conference with Skype, and by eLearning with Blackboard etc. However, seldom people use mobile device to practice music, and there is not yet a standard methodology for people to do eLearning for music with a mobile device. This paper...
We consider the problem of accurately and efficiently querying a remote server to retrieve information about images captured by a mobile device. In addition to reduced transmission overhead and computational complexity, the retrieval protocol should be robust to variations in the image acquisition process, such as translation, rotation, scaling, and sensor-related differences. We propose to extract...
In the Information Age, the problem of information overload as a form of explicitly good news or pollution has become more popular, the consumer's attention also becomes the scarce resource to be allocated. Member card can provide personal identification, authentication, data storage, and relevant application. It may provide strong marketing media for customer relationship within business organizations...
Mobile devices have become an important part of our life. Service disruptions can occur because of limited resources of mobile devices such as computation, storage and battery. In this context, mobile cloud computing enables mobile devices to offload their computation and storage to the cloud and get the final result from cloud servers. There are some parameters like bandwidth, delay, jitter and user...
In recent years, mobile cloud computing (MCC) is treated as one of the important enablers of Internet of Things. MCC has evolved from a mix of mobile computing and cloud computing. Most of the researcher works on MCC focus on the reduction of cost of applications in mobile devices by leveraging cloud technology. The limitations of mobile environment such as computation capacity, battery power and...
Mobile cloud computing has dual benefits that includes cloud computing and mobile computing. In mobile cloud computing data storage and data processing take place outside the mobile device. As a result, there is a high chance of security attack. The security even becomes more critical when mobile phone is initiating the handoff during handover management process. Thus, the attacker may easily get...
Nowadays, many kinds of IT-based healthcare products have been released, which measure the patients' health status and warn them of potential risk they might have. In addition, this accumulated data can be sent to remote medical staff in order for the users to get the proper guidelines or treatments from them. In this paper, we propose a simple approach which makes sure that the patients secure the...
Mobile Marketing is a powerful means to grow business. Tremendous increase in the count of mobile users has motivated the mobile marketing to high level in the last several years. Emerging as a new type of mobile marketing, mobile location-based services (MLBSs) have attracted major attention of mobile users and the businessman now a days. Signal Processing is used to get latitude and longitude of...
Computational offloading can improve the energy efficiency of mobile devices, by executing some tasks of a mobile application in the cloud. In this paper, a new algorithm called 'Dynamic Programming with Randomization' (DPR) is presented. The DPR algorithm iteratively improves an offloading decision vector, by generating random bit strings with a biased probability of generating 0s, which represent...
With the rapid increase of mobile devices, the computing load of roadside cloudlets is fast growing. When the computation tasks of the roadside cloudlet reach the limit, the overload may generate heat radiation problem and unacceptable delay to mobile users. In this paper, we leverage the characteristics of buses and propose a scalable fog computing paradigm with servicing offloading in bus networks...
Spatial Crowdsourcing Platforms (SCP) are systems that act as brokers that help people requesting location dependent tasks to find suitable workforce to accomplish it. This kind of system has been source of much interest for both academy and industry. However, little has been done to define a crowdsourcing platform and its technical details precisely. Furthermore, much of the research works on this...
For the last decade, researchers are showing interest in mobile cloud computing (MCC) for its promising potentiality. It combines cloud computing and mobile computing providing better quality of service to user with mobile device. Resource famished applications can now be executed on mobile devices by offloading the task on cloud. Major research areas in MCC are how, where and when to offload a task...
