M2M Software Platforms

Our new paper: Namiot, D., & Sneps-Sneppe, M. (2014). On M2M Software Platforms. International Journal of Open Information Technologies, 2(8), 29-33.

This paper provides an overview for existing and upcoming system software platforms for M2M applications. In this article we discuss system software models from the developer’s point of view, rather than network related aspects. The primary goal is to find the common and reusable aspects across existing models as well as discuss their possible coexistence. Can we extract the common elements for the different M2M software models? Are there some reusable patterns? What should developers and system architects pay attention to? These are the main issues addressed in this article.

API or DPI?

Our new paper: D. Namiot and M. Sneps-Sneppe "On software standards for smart cities: API or DPI"

This paper discusses the global unified standards for software products and existing approaches (de-facto standards). Using specific examples of interaction with Bluetooth Low Energy tags we compared existing approaches to the development and the proposed global standards (FI-WARE). Can a unified approach to the creation of services to cover all the possible use cases and scenarios for new services? The paper emphasizes the need to address the prevailing trends in the design to create a standard. Also, we highlight the critical importance of such a thing as the time to market for new applications and services developed according to the proposed standards.

Local mobile chat

Our mobile mashup Geo chat has been updated. HTML5 mobile web application lets you chat with other people in the proximity. It is anonymous chat, you do not need a special account. It is just a text chat with people nearby (e.g., in the same café, in traffic jam, etc.) Check out it from the iPhone, Android, or any HTML5 browser.

http://geochat.linkstore.ru

(it is a mobile site).

You can copy link right to your phone with QR-code above. Or use the following short URL http://bit.ly/gCbzm3.

You can use this chat in your own mobile web applications. The basic URL accepts the following optional parameters:

lat - latitude of the place
lng - longitude of the place

for example: Palo Alto, University Avenue, Starbucks

There is the similar mobile mashup City chat - the dialogues there are connected to some place from Foursquare. Geo chat is almost the same, but implemented for any geo place without the connection to some predefined place

Technically, it is a web mashup that uses chat engine from Coldbeans.

In-proximity chat & forum

Our mobile web application WiFi chat has been updated again. What kind of object (real or virtual) can we use to unite mobile users? We are not talking here about members of social networks. We are looking a way for creating group chat. Here, for example, is a short list of several our applications:

City forum - discussions (forums) linked to places (POI - point of interest)
Geo forum - the similar to above (also mobile forums) but linked to location
Mobile forum - lets you add discussions to any physical object.
City chat - web chat linked to any POI (point of interest)
Geo chat - web chat linked to some location

And here is our new idea - Wi-Fi Chat. Forum and chat linked to some Wi-Fi network. Communication tools based on ideas of network proximity. It is a mobile application that lets you see available (visible) Wi-Fi networks and link (attach) discussions and chats with them. We are not talking about connecting to Wi-Fi networks. We are using any Wi-Fi network just as a sensor. If you can see it from your mobile, you are somewhere near. We can call it Wi-Fi proximity. That is an idea. All people seeing the same network are in the proximity. So, they could have some common points for the discussions.

Just one interesting remark – Wi-Fi access point could be opened right on the mobile phone. And with WiFi chat application this phone will play a role of presence sensor uniting (combining together) local people for the communications.

Technically this application uses cloud forums from Disqus and web chat from Coldbeans.

You can load .apk right from Android Market:

com.wifichat

Also you can download .apk file right from our server: http://servletsuite.com/WiFiChat.apk. Here is an appropriate QR-code:



WiFi chat, actually, is a side project for our new development - SpotEx. This application uses ideas of proximity as a service and lets you attach (link) your own data to Wi-Fi access points. We will describe it separately.

City Forum

City forums.
This mashup combines places from Foursquare and cloud forums from Disqus. Just a place to discuss your city places. It is HTML5, so the whole application works on the mobile phone too (iPhone, Android)

Cisco IoT Challenge

Bluetooth Data Points (BDP) let share and discover data in a local proximity. The main idea behind this approach is doing that without the preliminary scene preparation. BDP model does not require wireless tags, fingerprints (radio maps), etc. An ordinary smart phone is enough for creating own data channel and start sharing (distribute) own data.

BDP approach lets mobile users (enterprises) associate own data snippets with Bluetooth nodes. So, other mobile users in proximity (Bluetooth radio distance) will be able to discover and read them. You can think about the web browsing, where web pages provide some hyper-local data. Read more.

BDP - Bluetooth Data Points

More information about Bluetooth Data Points

Bluetooth Data Points (BDP) is a new approach for creating mobile services with wireless tags. It is a yet another use case for the network proximity. Mobile application (Android) lets any user post some announce (advertising, classified, etc.) and associate it with Bluetooth node on the phone. The same application on another phone can scan nearby Bluetooth nodes and collect local announces. Dislike iBeacon and similar applications:

a) this approach is based on the Core Bluetooth rather than on Bluetooth Low Energy. So it will work with any phone;

b) this application works like a browser. So, mobile user decides when to run and what to read rather than constantly get unwanted notifications.

The following picture illustrates BDP (Bluetooth Data Points) approach:

BDP uses Core Bluetooth. So, it could be used with almost any smartphone. Let us see how it works:

1. Mobile user can browse local announces:

2. Another user publish own announce:

It is simply a text. User can publish links (URLs), email, phone or links to Twitter: @t411

3. Application switch on Bluetooth for published announces:

Of course, the publisher can switch Bluetooth off and make own announces unavailable. And later, switch it on again, etc. So, publisher's announces will follow his phone. When published materials are on, other mobile users nearby will the them:

Mobile application for Android, which implements this approach could be downloaded right from Google Play: BDP on Google Play. Here is an appropriate QR-code:

You can download it right from our site too: BDP on servlewtsuite. And here is an appropriate QR-code:

As the possible use cases for this approach we can mention applications for retail, indoor navigation, as well as context-dependent services for Smart Cities.

P.S. We've used the similar approach for Wi-Fi: SpotEx

This paper describes a new model for delivering hyper-local data for mobile subscribers. Our model uses Wi-Fi proximity as a service. According to this concept, any existing or even a specially created Wi-Fi hot spot could be used as presence sensor that can trigger access for some user-generated information snippets. In this article we present several examples for deployment: context-aware browser, integration for proximity and social streams and human dynamics models based on proximity data. As the possible use-cases, we can mention, for example, news and deals delivery in malls, news feeds for office centers and campuses, social curation, Smart City projects, personal classifieds, etc.
