“…Nakanish et al proposed dynamic Web-based address book for mobile phone in which users can share their location and status information [4]. In iCAMS system, users can select the preferred method of communications such as in person, email, home/work phone, etc.…”

“…Hence, the continuous sensing and uploading when there is no request can waste limited resource of mobile phone. Additionally, it is very difficult to share real time context information (such as location) because provider senses and uploads their personal context recurrently for a specific time interval (e.g., location information is sensed and uploaded every 15 minute in iCAMS [4]) in order to reduce resource consumption of mobile device. Another problem that should be considered in the server-based personal context sharing architecture is privacy control.…”

“…The most common architecture for personal context sharing via mobile phone uses centralized server that collects personal context information from mobile clients (i.e., mobile phone) and provides the collected information in response to various requests of other mobile clients [4,5,8,9,10,11,12,13,14]. Each mobile client should upload his context information periodically in order to share up to date context information with other users.…”

Sharing personal context information using mobile phone is receiving considerable attentions in ubiquitous computing applications. The most common architecture for sharing personal context information via mobile phone uses centralized server. Such server-based architecture, however, cannot avoid waste of mobile phone's limited resources for sharing personal context information. Additionally, dynamic privacy control of the shared context information according to user's various situations is very difficult in the server-based architecture. The increased computation power of mobile phone enables us to create system architecture that can share personal context information between two mobile phones directly. In this paper, we describe design of system architecture for lightweight interactive mobile phone-to-phone personal context sharing system that uses SMS (Short Message Services) as a basic communication method, and introduce application prototypes that are developed based on the proposed architecture. Compared to centralized server-based architecture, the proposed one can minimize waste of limited mobile phone resources and maximizes dynamic privacy control in sharing personal context information.

This thesis is about social technologies, user experiences and the problems of creative design. It is motivated by a desire to give people who are offline the access to social technologies that is currently provided via the web. There exist technologicallyoriented approaches to solving this problem, but their focus on technology comes at a cost of neglecting the experiential aspects which motivate the work. This focus can result in systems which are functional but unappealing to (or even unusable by) their target audiences.After describing the motivation for the work, this thesis explains the state of the art and presents an exemplar system built with a technological focus. This thesis then presents Teasing Apart, Piecing Together (TAPT), a Software Engineering design process developed to address this gap in the field of software design. TAPT enables the understanding of user experiences and scaffolds the redesign of these for new contexts.After explaining the TAPT process and how it was built, a three-phase mixed methods evaluation is described. This consists of a large-scale comparative evaluation, an expert review of the outputs of that evaluation and case studies grounded in industrial and academic practice. The results of these evaluations show that TAPT, which can be used in an agile manner, provides a strong analytical framework for understanding experiences and supports the redesign of experiences in new contexts. iv v Contents

The digital divide refers to a lack of technological access, part of which involves exclusion from a blooming arena of social interaction. People without mobile phones or PCs cannot access email, SMS or social networking websites; this includes many groups, such as the elderly, who can become vulnerable without good social contact. By enabling multimodal access to a variety of communication channels, including ubiquitous ones such as televisions and home telephones, this set of people can be included in such interactions. This paper describes a prototype pervasive messaging infrastructure for multimodal communications, and how it can be used as an assistive environment. Our eventual aim is to create a social fabric, a pervasive infrastructure layer to support more complex social experiences in the future.
