Mobile Computing Applications Nour El Kadri Based on Jani Kurhinen Notes
What are mobile applications? • In talking about mobile applications we refer to client devices that are expected to be pocket-fitting devices. • Smart phones, palm-size or handheld computers. • These types of services are targeted for devices of the macro-mobile environment. • Small size, limited bandwidth, low processing power.
An alternative approach • Essential part of current computing infrastructure. • The needs of users vary from lightweight entertainment to heavyweight industrial systems • (or vice versa)
Why are mobile applications needed? • People are moving even more than before • They must still be able to manage contacts and events and access networked information. • The web created new needs for availability of information. • Instant access to needed data. • Data must be available 24h a day.
Why are mobile applications needed? • What is mobile computing? • Usually mobile computing is associated with web access using the cell phone. • A connection from the field to an internal network of a company is also easily considered as mobile computing.
Why are mobile applications needed? • Mobile computing also includes any kind of data processing with some kind of an easily portable device whether or not it has a connection to a network or other devices.
Mobile vs. wireless • What does wireless mean? • Wireless defines a way to connect two or more devices to each other.
How does mobility change the types of services? • Quality of service may vary during the connection. • Bandwidth, delay, reliability. • Are there guarantees on QoS? • Security issues must be considered. • Man-in-the-middle. • Lost/stolen client terminal. • Lost data. • Context sensitivity.
Mobile content • User rates of the Internet and mobile phones are high in the same countries. • It seems that these techniques spread all over the world hand in hand. • "Developing in HTML for Web is soon going to be as sexy as developing in Cobol for the IBM S/360" --Johan Hjelm 2000
Mobile content • If a user doesn't get positive user experience, he/she will reflect this dissatisfaction on the whole system • Not just your service or the terminal, but also everything in between. • Instead of designing for presentation, you need to design for the whole user experience. • Not to make information look nice, but to make it work well.
Mobile content • Data connection made with mobile terminal differs from connection made with PC. • You are not just browsing in the web, but you need (or want) something. • Users are not interested to have web everywhere, they just want the data.
Development of the mobile services - Phases • In the first phase engineers tried to think what could be fitted into 160 characters. • Phone numbers, addresses, horoscopes… • The second phase was translating existing (web) services to mobile terminals. • The third one is to create new services to mobile terminals.
Development of mobile computing • The era started when movement of people became crucial. • The first phase was nomadic computing. • It wasn't anymore enough to share data between co-workers at the office. • The mobility of the people and data access were the key elements.
Development of mobile computing • For nomadic computing the data access include • communication, • personal information management, • information access and • temporary storing of modified data. • Note that the mobility of the computing devices are not necessary required, but mobility of the data and user profiles.
Development of mobile computing • The second phase was true mobile computing. • Users require that they are able not just to be mobile, but also perform data processing tasks while moving.
Development of mobile computing • Originally the true mobile computing had two main reasons: • wireless access to networks (both communication and information) and • management of rapidly changing personal data. • Today entertainment and leisure activities have important role.
Development of mobile computing • The purpose of mobile devices was not to replace desktop workstations or server computers. • The purpose was to offer a new way to deal with information.
The cost of mobility • Mobile elements are resource poor when compared to static elements. • Mobile devices should be small. • The size of the mobile device leads to smaller resources. • Mobile elements are easier to be damaged, stolen or lost. • They are fragile, valuable and small.
The cost of mobility • Mobile elements rely on batteries. • Energy for running mobile device must be carried with the device. • Only finite time of battery power is available. • Wireless networks are more expensive, slower and less reliable.
The cost of mobility • A resource-poor mobile device can’t be the only data processing device. • Data must be synchronised with other computing devices. • Mobile computing systems are not yet standardised enough. • Every mobile platform offers its own applications and service solutions.
Mobile terminals don’t suit every situation • If a new technology doesn’t bring along any value it shouldn’t be used. • Is the form of the data meaningful to be presented on a screen of a mobile terminal? • Large database tables of multimedia presentations would not be best viewed with a tiny screen.
Mobile computing • What if mobile computing could be more? • Mobile device is usually regarded just a mobile device. • Everything that has something to do with a wireless or mobile are classified to the same category. • A vehicle-mounted terminal in a lift truck has only a little common with a smart phone.
Mobile computing • Because of wide range of requirements it is impossible to offer one device for everyone. • Different kinds of devices are needed to fulfill users’ needs. • Some need as small a phone with a calendar as possible while others need water resistant tools that won’t break easily.
Mobile computing • It is important to understand that there are multiple types of mobile environments. • Each environment has its own users and own dedicated mobile devices. • What kind of devices can be classified as a mobile computing device?
Smart phone Communicator Handheld computer Tablet computer Mobility (size) Ultra portable Laptop Primary purpose of use Communication Data processing
