  34. M-Commerce • Definition: • Any transaction with a monetary value that is conducted via a mobile telecom network.

  35. Just-in-Location Learning (JILL) • A New Learning Paradigm • This paradigm will empower lifelong learners to acquire knowledge based upon their location and natural curiosity at their own pace. • Learners are given the opportunity to seek information based on their geographical location.

  36. JILL • The facilitator is a mobile device featuring location technologies. • The learners dictate what they want to know in reference to their location. • They are in control of the line of inquiry they choose to pursue and will be subject to the type of information available on the “location specific knowledge base”.

  37. JILLExamples • JILL may provide the history of a building to an active learner. • The geographical location and surrounding area of the learner is displayed

  38. JILLExamples • The user faces a building • JILL identifies it. • JILL displays topics for learning opportunities.

  39. JILLExamples • The user selects a topic. • Information is provided just-in-location.

  40. LBS - Privacy • Law • Notification • Users must be notified whenever they are being tracked/localized. • Levels • Without notification • Notify all the time • Anonymous • Internationalization

  41. LBS: Privacy • Problem • Crime • Criminals may know where you are… • Being at the wrong place at the wrong time. • Modus vivendi • Humans are not used to broadcast their location at all times. • …not even to friends.

  42. Emerging Interfaces

  43. Wireless Multimedia Streaming • Purpose: • Essential to provide seamless quality experience for audio and video transmissions • MPEG-4 has been selected by Wireless Multimedia Forum (WMF) and the 3rd Generation Partnership Program (3GPP) for use in the mobile environment.
