Abstract:
<p>Digital cameras in mobile phones have become very popular in the recent years, and it is common to have large photo collections stored in the phone. Organizing these photos on the phone is still a big problem though. This study explores different ways of utilizing the location of where the photos were taken to make it easier to manage a large photo collection. Several different positioning technologies that can be used to obtain the location of where a photo was taken are presented. Three of the application suggestions for using location information of photos were implemented as prototypes

This research aims at a music piece for audience participation using mobile phones as musical instruments in a music concert setting. Inspired by the ubiquity of smart phones, I attempted to accomplish audience engagement in a music performance by crafting an accessible musical instrument with which audience can be a part of the performance. The research begins by reviewing the related works in two areas, mobile music and audience participation at music performances, builds a charted map of the areas and its intersection to seek an innovation, and defines requisites for a successful audience p

Abstract:
This thesis describes the development and evaluation of a data storage colour 2D barcode known as the MMCC barcode. 1D barcodes are widely used to provide inexpensive and accurate data capture capability. However, due to their low data capacity, they can only function as indexes to back-end databases. The desire for higher data capacity has led to the development of colour 2D barcodes. The recent increasingly ubiquitous availability of camera phones has created a new platform to facilitate this data capture. However, it is challenging to decode colour barcodes as the colour values vary greatly

Abstract:
Depth estimation is a necessary task to understand and navigate the environment around us. Over the years, many active sensors have been developed to measure depth but they are expensive and require additional space to be mounted. A cheaper alternative consists of estimating depth maps using images taken by a mobile phone camera. Since most mobile phones don't have cameras built for stereo depth sensing, it would be ideal to be able to recover depth from a single image using only the computational capability of the mobile phone itself. This can be achieved by training a neural network on groun

Abstract:
This thesis demonstrates the popularity of mobile telephony within a population of undergraduate students, and provides explanations regarding the adoption, use and meaning of mobile phones therein. Research has been conducted at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne amongst 1030 18-24 year old, full-time, UK-resident 'traditional entry' students, using social science methods. Due to a lack of existing research on this type of population, the thesis also includes ethnographic data from the everyday lives of the individuals concerned. This data in turn supports the main findings of the research

This thesis investigates embedded databases and graphical interfaces for the MicroBaseJ project. The project aim is the development of an integrated database and GUI user interface for a typical 3G, or 2.5G, mobile phone with Java MIDP2 capability. This includes methods for data acquisition, mobile data and information communication, data management, and remote user interface. Support of phone delivered informatics will require integrated server and networking infrastructure research and development to support effective and timely delivery of data for incorporation in mobile device-based infor
