This paper describes a new model for presenting local information based on the network proximity. We present a novelty mobile mashup which combines Wi-Fi proximity measurements with QR-codes. Our mobile mashup automatically adds context information the content presented by QR-codes. It simplifies the deployment schemes and allows to use unified presentation for all data points, for example. This paper describes how to combine QR-codes and network proximity information.

This paper introduces a new way of delivering local messages to mobile subscribers. Our application presents a mashup from passive monitoring for smart phones and cloud-based messaging for mobile operational systems. Passive monitoring can detect the presence of mobile phones without active participation from the users. It does not require prior calibration, nor does it require mobile users to mark their own location on social networks (like traditional check-ins). Mobile users do not need to run location track applications on their phones the. At the same time, a production-based expert system built around cloud messaging allows interested parties to directly deliver their custom information to mobile users in proximity.

This paper discusses Home Gateway Initiative software and telecom mashups. Can we use IMS for mashups and how to do that? What is impact of Home Gateway Initiative decisions to application developers and what can we expect to see on the application market for home devices.
This paper is devoted to location-based mobile services. The movement (trajectory) data extraction from logs related to network proximity is considered. Usually, this type of pattern extraction (search) relates to trajectory databases containing geoposition information. We consider a model of context-aware computing (a context-aware browser) based on network proximity. A mobile phone is considered as a proximity sensor. The geoposition information is replaced with the network proximity. Any existing or specially created network node can be regarded as a sensor of presence that provides access to dynamically determined network content. The disclosure of the content depends on the set of rules describing the conditions of network’s proximity. An algorithm is given for calculating the trajectories in mobile networks based on information about the network’s proximity.
The paper introduces a new approach for using wireless sensors on mobile phones for integrating data from social networks. We describe existing models for integrating sensors and social networks, as well as propose a new practical approach for social context-aware data discovery that uses mobile phone as proximity sensor. Our concept uses wireless networks sensors from mobile phones (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) as presence sensor that can open (discover) access for some content published in the social networks. And an appropriate mobile service (context-aware browser client for social networks) can present that information to mobile subscribers. As the potential use-cases for the proposed approach we can mention all projects related to hyper-local news data. For example, proximity marketing, Smart City news, indoor information delivery, etc.
The paper discusses M2M communications standards for smart metering. One of the our goals is to show the failures of ETSI standartization process for M2M communications. Our paper proposes some extesions to ETSI standards. At the first hand, it is M-Bus protocol and Open Metering System based on M-Bus. The paper shows how to estimate wireless M-bus throughput and how to avoid collisions. After analysis of Open API for M2M, submitted to ETSI, we propose a new approach in the client-side web development - Web Intents. The main goal for our suggestions is to simplify the development phase for new applications by support asynchronous calls and JSON versus XML for data exchange.

DuckDuckGo was launched in 2008 and has since become the foremost search engine for those concerned about not just snooping by the government but Google as well. When visitors search via DuckDuckGo, the search engine doesn’t track them; it just gives them the search results they request. (Like Google, DuckDuckGo does serve contextual ads, which is how it makes its money.) - from here.
PRISM fears are growing. And in this context location sharing is much more important area. So, pay your attention to our WATN approach. It lets you share location info without saving all your data on some centralized (read - PRISM-ed) store. See WATN related info in this blog or our Peer to Peer Location Sharing article, for example.
Does it work? Positive memory for stock prices: "I looked at the daily performance the following day (again comparing day-to-day close prices), for companies who ranked either #1 or #500 today. Companies that ranked #1 today also experienced (on average) a boost in stock price the next day. The boost was more substantial for companies experiencing a 7.5% (or more) price increase today. And the return boost on the next day was statistically significant, and quite large."
You can use this mashup in your own mobile sites (portals, services). Just set a link to NEA service in your area. The basic URL accepts the following optional parameters:
lat - latitude for search
lng - longitude for search
For example: NEA in Palo Alto
P.S. there is a huge set of related services. For example: Places, Frontplace, City Chat, City Forum, Geo chat и food from Twitter.
Suppose your QR code presents the following URL: http://server/script. This modified QR-code reader lets you automatically add Wi-Fi fingerprints (SSID name, MAC-address and RSSI info) for the each "visible" Wi-Fi network.

This paper describes a new approach to local messaging. Our application combines passive monitoring for smart phones and cloud based messaging for mobile OS (operational system). Passive monitoring can determine the location of mobile subscribers (mobile phones, actually) without the active participation of the users. Mobile users do not need to mark own location on social networks (check-in), they do not need to run on their phones the location track applications. In the same time, Cloud Messaging allows interested parties to directly deliver their information to mobile users who find themselves near a selected point. This is the main content of the service - how to combine the monitoring and notifications.

This paper discusses several practical use cases for deploying network proximity in mobile services. Our research presents here mobile services oriented for either discovering new data for mobile subscribers or for delivering some customized information to them. All applications share the same approach and use the common platform, based on the Wi-Fi proximity. The typical deployment areas for our approach are context-aware services and ubiquitous computing applications. Our own examples include proximity marketing as the model use case.

Authors report on a new kind of group conversation on Twitter they call a group chat. These chats are periodic, synchronized group conversations focused on specific topics and they exist at a massive scale. The groups and the members of these groups are not explicitly known. Rather, members agree on a hashtag and a meeting time to discuss a subject of interest.
Group chats are similar to virtual communities in that the primary venue for communicating is online. As with other communities, the purpose is to exchange knowledge, to share experiences, to provide empathy and generally feel part of a community. Also, groups chats can be sprawled out geographically and thus they en- able a way to meet that would otherwise be difficult or impossible. However, they differ from virtual communities in that they use the Twitter platform as a real-time mechanism to communicate in groups. The real-time nature of these conversations imparts a live feeling that is hard to duplicate in other online venues such as forums. Another key difference is that these groups are implicit and therefore not easily discoverable.
In this connection we would like to point attention to our Twicus application. Actually, this application creates Group Chats on Twitter. One of the obvious applied areas is the second screen application for discussing TV show.

Discussion here is a flow of messages (statuses) with some hash tag. Mashup lets users add a special status for the own timeline during the first visit. It is like check-in. This check-in record contains hash tag for the discussion. So, user can switch to search right with one click right from your new post. Additionally, user's timeline will keep check-in record (read - description to hashtag), so it is easy to return back to that discussion. For subsequent visits mashup simply redirects user to Twitter search page for the given hash tag.
You can set your own parameters for the discussion. Basic URL proceeds the following parameters:
tag - tag for discussion
title - explanation for your discussion
checkin - check-in message to be published in user's timeline
via - Optional. Twitter's account to follow for the check-in message
init - Optional. 0 value lets you skip an initial screen. Default value is 1.
For example: http://twicus.linkstore.ru?tag=mytag
Such way you can add links to your site/blog: 'Discuss in Twitter'
How it could be used? For example, second screen application for social TV.

In this connection - pay attention to our customized check-in products. For example, Places from Facebook lets any small business create own "Foursquare" on the existing base of Facebook's users.
Snapshot illustrates registered mobile devices:
The Berg Cloud dev kit includes two small circuit boards and microcontrollers with access to a set of Web APIs, allowing the microcontroller to send and receive data from Internet applications. Another device in the kit, called a Bridge, provides wireless connectivity, and a built-in mobile user interface called Remote can access, manage, and control the system via iPhone, Android, or Windows Phone devices." - from MIT review

The paper discusses the current state and development proposals for Smart Cities and Future Internet projects. Definitions of a Smart City can vary but usually tend to suggest the use of innovative Info-Communication technologies such as the Internet of Things and Web 2.0 to deliver more effective and efficient public service
s that improve living and working conditions and create more sustainable urban environments. Our goal is to analyze the current proposals from the developer’s point of view, highlight the really new elements, the positions borrowed from the existing tools
as well as propose some new extensions. We would like to discuss the possible extensions for the existing proposals and describe add-ons that, by our opinion, let keep
the future research inline with the modern approaches in the web development domain.
The paper describes the current state on M2M communications and targets mostly Smart Metering Communication Mandate and Open API from ETSI. We provide a description for the current state of this API as well as propose some extensions we are working on. Our proposals are oriented to more tight integration of M2M API and modern web development tools and approaches. Also this paper outlines some practical systems being implemented locally (Russia, Latvia) and suggests the prospect directions for the joint projects in M2M area.
In Facebook API searches for places and pages using the graph API no longer work.
Is it some global disaster with geo search?
How does it work? Point two browsers (two phones, for example) to the same URL: http://pair.linkstore.ru
You can use the following QR-code:
You can see the following:
The picture will be the same in the second browser. Just a code should be different:
This random code will be used for pairing two devices. It is the schema similar to Bluetooth pairing. On the screen (phone) that should display the data (be linked to another phone/screen in slave mode) type the code presented on the second phone. You do not need to type anything on the second (master) phone.
Now our slave screen is ready to accept data:
As soon as the code in entered, the second screen (master) will be updated automatically:
Type any text and press Push button on the master screen. You (your pal) will see data on the slave screen:
It is a basic example that transfers text data. Technically it is possible to pass any data available in the browser. What you can transfer right now:
- just type any text. All connected slaves phones will see that
- type any phone number. It will be presented as a clickable link on the slave screen (screens)
- type any URL. E.g. http://servletsuite.com Slave screen will show a clickable link
- type any email address. Slave screen will show a clickable link
- type the following command t:some_name_from_Twitter. E.g.: t:t411. Slave screen (screens) will show the link to that account in Twitter (http://twitter.com/t411 in our example). So, your pals will be able to read your feed, follow it, etc.
- type the following command f:some_name_from_Facebook. The same as above but for Facebook. Slave screen (screens) will show the link to that profile in Facebook. So, your pals will be able to read your feed, subscribe, etc.
- type the following command v:some_name_from_Vkontakte. The same as above but for Vkontakte. Slave screen (screens) will show the link to that profile in Vkontakte. So, your pals will be able to read your feed, subscribe, etc.

"Apologies for the lack of advanced warning and the loss of functionality; a change in the YouTube search index is preventing location-based searches from returning results.
Unfortunately, there is no quick-fix to account for this change. The last I heard we're looking at approximately four weeks before the necessary data to power location-based searches will return."

"Unfortunately, the teams responsible have revised their estimates for when they can get this working again, and they're longer than initially thought. I don't have an exact date to share at this point, but it will not be the mid-April timeframe we initially communicated. Apologies for the continued inconvenienced."

The two-year-old startup has developed ways for mobile apps to detect a phone user’s location in a building using Wi-Fi signals. It is interesting, because Wi-Fi processing on non-rooted iPhone is very limited. Does it mean, that Apple changes its position in this space? We are very interested in porting SpotEx approach to iPhone.
