Mobile technology is developing quickly and becomming a part of daily life and communication. Bluetooth Low Energy is presented as a new way of mobile interaction. However there are not enough studies in this field on the interaction between mobile devices and the physical world. In order to understand user needs, and to encourage users to interact, we simulated an interaction process through designing and testing a prototype in a specific indoor environment. Prototype effectiveness and main characteristics for future mobile application was evaluated through a qualitative user study with 20 participants who interacted with our prototype..

The client application will hold functions for withdrawal, purchase, delivering and inventory.

The development of applications for mobile devices has exploded in recent times. This has also led to the introduction of several new mobile operating systems. To streamline application development for multiple platforms, techniques have been developed to be able to reuse the same application regardless of the operating system. If the same application can be used on multiple platforms it will save both a lot of time and money. Today there are three types of techniques to develop an application; web, hybrid and native application, where the latter is specific to the operating system it has been developed to.

Choosing the right user experience evaluation method can be difficult, choosing the right one for mobile user experience can be even more so. One major cause is that mobile usage is context dependent. Another contributing factor is that there is not one widely adopted theory or framework for user experience due to its complexity.The purpose of this study was to evaluate an existing method artifact in its feasibility for evaluating mobile applications. The chosen method, AttrakDiff2 is a self-reporting semantic differential questionnaire to evaluate the user experience of an interactive product, based on its hedonic and pragmatic qualities.A study was conducted where the participants assessed one mobile and one web application, which were later rated with AttrakDiff2. The completion of the questionnaire was conducted as a think-aloud session subsequently followed by an interview.The results suggest that the participants experience was affected more by the evaluated application style than the different platforms.

Begreppet mobil kommunikation har funnits ett bra tag, och mobila enheter är idag mycket vanliga och nya modeller kommer hela tiden. Dessa enheter har med tiden blivit mindre och kraftfullare, och möjligheterna att använda dem har blivit fler och fler. Alltför ofta är dock diskussionen kring mobil kommunikation fokuserad på konsumentinriktade tjänster, och ofta förbises de verkliga användningsområdena för mobil kommunikation. Det är viktigt att komma ihåg att det är inom vissa yrkesgrupper som mobil kommunikation kan vara riktigt användbart. Med denna uppsats vill vi visa att fältarbetande personal är en av dessa yrkesgrupper som kan ha stor användning av mobil kommunikation, samt visa hur denna teknik påverkar fältarbetarnas informationshantering.

Today it is not unusual to use a secondary screen to accompany a primary screen. The possibility to integrate these two in the form of an application for the secondary screen have long been possible but have not been developed to full potential. This thesis aims to study the use of the extra information and functions this type of application would make possible and how this type of application could be used.For this study a prototype-application including a real time newsfeed and a static menu for a specific episode of a Tv-series was created based on the information collected in an online survey. The application was tested on a number of people who got to evaluate the experience in short interviews and were given the possibility to recommend changes in the application.The result after the study showed the people where torn about what kind of information would best fit the application but showed over all that a dynamic newsfeed with information continuously updated with the episode where most appreciated. The problem with the difference in interest around the categories would be solved first and foremost by the application being configurable so that every single user has the possibility to choose which kind of information to be updated in the newsfeed.

This degree project deals with creating an Android application for managing representation orders placed in stores as well as evaluating Androids usage as a platform for that line of work.

SharePoint is a web based platform designed to provide internal communications and file sharing for businesses and organizations.In this project, we created a system consisting of multiple applications to be used together with SharePoint. These applications are meant to simplify the workflow for internal orders of products. The system is targeted towards companies that do not have a flexible approach to digital orders or companies that want to integrate this functionality into their SharePoint platform. The project includes, in addition to the creation of the system, installation of the software and the servers needed to run a SharePoint environment and their configurations.The system consists of four applications where one of these, the store application, is required for the system to be used at all. The other applications are an order management application, a purchase application and an incoming delivery application. Of these four, we have implemented the store application and the order management application. Our hope is that users will find the system easy to use and graphically appealing..

As new ways of using computers are constantly being developed, other ways of interacting are made possible. One of the most desired types of interaction with computers is a touch-screen where the user can actually organize everything simply by using the fingertips. The purpose of this project is to enhance an existing framework with an application that works with a touch-screen device. The application is to be used as a tool for presentational usage. The result is an application where the user by simple means can use a touch-screen to hold a professional presentation.

Företag har sedan länge varit intresserade av mobil marknadsföring och då speciellt medplatsbaserade tjänster (Location Based Services ? LBS) som fokus. Ett stort hinder för denna nyamarknadföringskanal har då varit att hantera kundens acceptans till reklam i mobilen. Vårt syfteär att identifiera faktorer som visat sig vara kritiska och idag hanterbara för att uppnå en lyckadmobil marknadsföring. Den utförda empiriska studien pekar på att en stor del av befolkningenäger tillräckligt avancerade mobiler för att hantera en mer anpassad mobil marknadsföring.

År 2003 hade hela 90 procent av Sveriges befolkning i åldern mellan 16-75 år, enligt Statistiska Central Byrån, tillgång till mobiltelefon. När mobiltelefonanvändaren använder mobiltelefonen blir han eller hon automatiskt sårbar för övervakning i form av bland annat mobil positionering. Mobil positionering är en teknik som används för att ta reda på var en viss mobiltelefon befinner sig geografiskt vid en viss tidpunkt. Är mobiltelefonen påslagen är det också möjligt att ta reda på dess geografiska position. En viktig aspekt med mobil positionering är skyddandet av den personliga integriteten.
