Paper Abstract:
|
Up to now, data services used from small mobile devices, like digital phones or PDAs, have attained only a very limited role on the communication market. Different reasons can be identified, which prevent the average customer from broadly using wireless data services: on the one hand side, the user has to deal with very uncomfortable devices in terms of UI ergonomy, and on the other hand, the costs for wireless data communication are extremely high. These restrictions can be overcome by employing an access concept, which is built up on two main components: Personalized display software allows simplifying the information access on the wireless terminal, while an intermediate agent residing on the Internet takes care of mining the desired contents from the open Web, Internet, or Intranet. In addition to the improved UI handling, this concept offers a reduction of costs and an increase in access speed. Here, it is discussed how the UI handling can be even further improved by integrating the idea of location-based services. |
