Virtual File Repository for Mobile Phones. J, R. Ph.D. Thesis, 2008.
abstract   bibtex   
Nowadays digital content is widely spread in our daily lives. Mobile phones have rapidly found their way into almost every pocket over the past decade. Moreover, recent development has provided mobile phones with a short-range wireless communication technology by means of Near Field Communication (NFC), which is based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. More often people want to share content in certain locations where it is truly needed at that moment. This work presents a new prototype of ubiquitous system that enables sharing of content in physical locations by utilizing NFC compliant mobile phones and RFID tags. The prototype enables viewing and downloading files in a mobile phone or via PC by simply touching a tag with a phone equipped with a RFID reader. In this work, related research and technologies are discussed to provide background information not only of standard and specifications but also of applications and trials. Furthermore, NFC compliant mobile phones on the market are presented. Compared with other related concepts presented in this work, no similar prototypes were found available. Test results for application features show that the prototype works as expected. Also, feasibility is on a good level based on performance measurements for the prototype. These measurement figures show that a file can be opened in a mobile phone under 40 seconds and via PC in less than 17 seconds. However, the main future development views are waiting for upcoming phone releases. Furthermore, an end-user evaluation, which was realized in a museum, provides information about usability and technology potential. The results of the evaluation were encouraging, as the prototype was well accepted and future testing sessions are to be arranged.
