Abstract
Mobile devices present the opportunity to enhance our fast-growing and globally connected society, improving user-experience through novel approaches for information dissemination through mobile communication. The research community is developing new technologies, services, and applications to enable ubiquitous environments based on mobile technology. This paper tackles several important challenges such as communication cost and device limitations for development of ubiquitous multimedia applications. And we propose a system for news delivery using a set of wireless multimedia applications. For this purpose, we have performed a case study with Apple iPhone's platform, featuring two multimedia application contexts, namely, Web and native applications. The multimedia mobile applications draw on iPhone's assets, enabling context-awareness to distribute news, improving communication efficiency and setting-up viewing optimizations, thus enhancing user-experience. The proposed system is evaluated and validated through a series of real-life experiments on real devices, with online full availability. Moreover, due to the Web application availability, the system is not restrained to Apple's iPhone platform, but can also benefit users with other devices.
Highlights
Mobile devices have fulfilled the true aim of Internet by offering full connectivity anytime anywhere
The native application resolves some of the wireless networks limitations such as low-bandwidth and unreliability, understands the user definitions, and reads some mobile devices context in order to adjust the dynamic content downloaded from the Web Service
In terms of development aspects, Native application completely differs from a Web application optimized for the iPhone excluding some similar tools in the software development kit (SDK)
Summary
Mobile devices have fulfilled the true aim of Internet by offering full connectivity anytime anywhere. The mobile devices market is an emerging mass market with little data usage research available Consumers are changing their habits, the Internet players are adapting their contents to adjust the new needs, and operators are maintaining a high cost and network restrictions to avoid massive usage. The native application resolves some of the wireless networks limitations such as low-bandwidth and unreliability, understands the user definitions, and reads some mobile devices context in order to adjust the dynamic content downloaded from the Web Service. This solution combines ubiquitous information in both sides of the provided system.
