Real-time bus information on mobile devices
Beskrivelse: We report on a real-time transit vehicle information system which delivers content to Internet-enabled mobile devices, such as cell phones. The content is in the form of predicted arrival/departure times for buses at user-selectable geographic locations within a transit region. We discuss how the physical restrictions of such devices, e.g., screen size and paucity of keyboard options, influences the user interface design. An overview of the system architecture is provided, together with some preliminary usage results.

Architecture of a passenger information system for public transportservices
Beskrivelse: A passenger information system (PIS) called TUTPIS has been developed for networking passengers with companies that provide public transport services. TUTPIS supports a passenger with personalised, real time information services in all phases of a journey. Services include timetables, travel route searching, route reservations, and electronic payment. TUTPIS is targeted to operate on the developing wireless network infrastructure of mobile, local, and personal networking technologies. A TUTPIS model concentrating on bus services has been implemented using the specification and description language (SDL). The model contains functional implementations of a TUTPIS server and mobile terminals. In addition, the behaviour of external entities, such as buses, trains, and third party systems is implemented for simulations. By simulations, the operability of TUTPIS can be verified and performance estimations for system servers, wireless network throughputs, and mobile terminals derived.

Intelligent systems for tourism
Beskrivelse: The authors discuss travel recommender systems, adaptive context aware mobility support for tourists, tourism information systems, information delivery and travel planning information gathering agents.

The research of mobile user interface design components from the standpoint of universal design for learning
Beskrivelse: This research aims to develop mobile user interface factors easily accessible and convenient for users from the standpoint of universal design for learning. It is suggested that [1] classify according to importance, [2] providing definitive feedback regarding condition of processing and movement since mobile Internet service is charged, [3]design familiar and easy screen interface for user, [4] don’t use too many colors or images for visually unified images, [5] and apply hierarchical structure which has easily returned starting point.

The computer science of everyday things
Beskrivelse: Technology is fashionable, wonderful and getting better; Moore’s Law predicts substantial, sustained improvement (G. Moore, 1996). Yet the usability of `everyday things’ is low (video recorders being a notorious example). It seems to follow that improvements must be sought in areas outside technology, such as human factors. But a premise is wrong: in fact, the technology, i.e., the embedded computer science, is appalling! Obsolescence, a symptom of Moore’s Law, hides flawed design: poor products are replaced rather than fixed. The poor quality of the computer science of everyday things is eclipsed by the hope for fixing today’s problems with tomorrow’s consumption. The paper reviews Moore’s Law and the usability of everyday things; it shows that professional computer science can improve usability with ease. Improvement will be essential when ethical and environmental issues become, as they will, unavoidable design criteria.

Bridging the Real World with the RFID Phone – Focus on Development of Innovative Man Machine Interface and Abundant Wireless Internet Service
Beskrivelse: The role of mobile phones in contemporary life is a means to access to the wireless internet service not to mention a device for general communication. Even if additional functions and services are provided for use, the complexity of the phone increases and the usability and learn-ability of the phone would decrease. This paper proposes an innovative man machine interface by implementing the RFID technology into mobile phones. Unlike current MMI, the RFID phone minimizes the key inputs to connect to the wireless internet service that users want to connect to. By using the RFID phone, the wireless internet service usage will be increased with various services provided.

Two approaches to bringing Internet services to WAP devices
Beskrivelse: The next big challenge of the Internet is mobile access. More and more information is available on the Internet and intranets and mobile users will also need access to it. Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) based devices make it possible to access Wireless…
