“…The expected main benefit of touch-based Mobile Internet access is that the user does not need to type or remember the URL needed to access the Mobile Internet content. Other solutions to this problem explored by previous studies include, for example, context-sensitive search (Church & Smyth, 2008) and adaptive content push (Beaver et al, 2006).…”

This article reports user experience findings from two field trials where Mobile Internet access was supported through Near Field Communication (NFC)-based tag infrastructure. The authors’ results show that touch-based interaction can provide enhancement to the Mobile Internet user experience in: (1) content and service discovery, (2) Mobile Internet access, and (3) integrated situated and embodied experience. The problems related to service discovery can be solved by providing location-based access, and by using visual cues embedded into the environment for discovering content and services. Mobile Internet access through touch solves the problem of memorizing complicated URLs and the challenge of typing with a mobile device keypad. As touch-based access builds a semantic bridge between the physical context of use and the Mobile Internet experience, the user experience converges seamlessly into one where both the physical and digital worlds play a role.

“…Service map distribution systems may provide multiple links and transport alternatives, broadcast being only one alternative. The key issue in broadcast distribution is which items to broadcast and at which priority, also often referred to as broadcast scheduling (Stathatos et al , 1997; Beaver et al , 2006). For network service maps, broadcast scheduling is taken care of as follows: in simple scenarios, broadcast service operators may statically configure which data to broadcast from the local store.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to discuss large‐scale operational aspects for network service maps and to present technical solutions and evaluation results.Design/methodology/approachThe paper reviews related work on service discovery specifically for wireless networks and services in, introduces network service maps and their operation in detail and describes their implementation and addresses two specific usage scenarios, based upon which it evaluates its approach through measurements and simulations.FindingsThe paper finds that, in the presence of today's ever‐increasing WLAN services, better support for service selection and automated service configuration is an urgent need to enable people to access these new services efficiently and thus increase their value and utilisation further. This is clearly reflected in different solutions being developed by service providers, roaming operators and device manufacturers that aim to facilitate WLAN usage.Originality/valueThe ubiquity of WLAN services, ranging from campus networks to commercial hotspots and community WLAN services, requires a new approach for automatically locating and using services. The paper presents a service selection infrastructure that is independent of a user's current network attachment and location in a way that users can obtain information of a specific network (or any other service) without being required to be connected to a particular one. Information about networks and services are distributed in a way that allows for using this information offline, e.g. when still looking for appropriate network access.

“…Also, the user interface paradigm does not require computation or reasoning from the device. These facts separate physical browsing through touch from many other solutions proposed for reducing key presses and facilitating access to mobile Internet services and content, such as context-sensitive search [16] and adaptive content push [17].…”

This paper summarizes the results of a set of field trials where near-field communication technology was used to construct mobile gestural interfaces for (1) mobile Internet content access, and (2) digital service access. All interface solutions are based on touch gestures where real-world objects are touched with a mobile phone. The results are based on trials and concept evaluations involving more than 300 users. The trials have been arranged in real-world settings, where recruited trial users have adopted the services and interfaces in their everyday lives. A wide variety of data collection methods have been used, ranging from automated usage logs to participatory observations and usability testing. As a result, a set of findings related to adoption and design of mobile touch-based interfaces in everyday interactions are constructed.
