Mobile application development in AfricaRugunda, Solomon Mugume 21 February 2011 (has links)
This work takes a look at how some of the challenges facing the African Continent can be tackled by the use of Mobile Phone Applications. Mobile phone penetration in Africa is very high, as indicated by statistics from South Africa in 2009 which showed that 70% of all South Africans owned a cell-phone. As such, the mobile phone is the ideal infrastructure platform to introduce technology applications that can be easily accessed by the general public. The paper briefly discusses the current state of mobile applications on the continent including some key applications presently deployed and how they are being used to meet some major social challenges faced. The work then proposes the creation of the Mobile Doctor Application, a tool that gives simple solutions to end-users in response to their health related text message queries. The key stakeholders for this application and their respective roles are then discussed. The paper then details the requirements for the application, separates them logically and represents them graphically for a clear understanding. Also put forth are two possible different sets of architecture for this application, one fully manual and the other using different sets of technologies. Finally, each architecture is evaluated using compliance metrics and the ATAM Quality Attribute Tree / text

Audio processing on constrained devicesGupta, Amod 28 September 2009 (has links)
This thesis discusses the future of smart business applications on mobile phones
and the integration of voice interface across several business applications. It proposes
a framework that provides speech processing support for business applications
on mobile phones. The framework uses Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM)
for low-enrollment speaker recognition and limited vocabulary speech recognition.
Algorithms are presented for pre-processing of audio signals into different categories
and for start and end point detection. A method is proposed for speech processing
that uses Mel Frequency Cepstral Coeffcients (MFCC) as primary feature for extraction.
In addition, optimization schemes are developed to improve performance,
and overcome constraints of a mobile phone. Experimental results are presented
for some prototype applications that evaluate the performance of computationally
expensive algorithms on constrained hardware. The thesis concludes by discussing
the scope for improvement for the work done in this thesis and future directions in
which this work could possibly be extended.

SOUNDSTAGE : Miljöförstärkt ljud i smartphone / SOUNDSTAGE : Environmentally enhanced audio in smartphoneBlomgren, Johannes January 2014 (has links)
Det här arbetet syftar till att genom design av en telefonapplikation undersöka hur ljud kan förstärkas av den omgivande miljön. Arbetet visar på hur miljöförstärkt ljud skiljer sig från ljudförstärkt miljö samt vilka begränsningar det innebär att använda en vanlig smartphone som plattform. Ett långsiktigt mål är att genom en produkt som låter oetablerade ljudproducenter distribuera sina alster i den offentliga miljön främja fri kultur och kreativitet. Arbetet har följt principen för RtD (research through design), där designprocessen utgör det fall som studeras och dokumentationen av den utgör den bas av data som analyseras och leder till slutsatser kring ämnet. Designprocessen i detta arbete innebär en mindre omfattande användarstudie i enkätform för att identifiera målgrupp, krav och mål. Följd av en andra studie där en prototyp framtagen med grund i resultaten från användarstudien utvärderas av deltagare genom observation, intervju och reaktionskort. De största utmaningarna för designen grundar sig i att ta fram en applikation som inte stör upplevelsen, men samtidigt kan instruera användaren i hur man använder applikationen. Utifrån arbetet dras slutsatsen att användarinstruktioner, såväl visuella som auditiva, löper större risk att störa upplevelsen i miljöförstärkt ljud än i ljudförstärkt miljö. Vidare konstateras att den största bristen i en lösning som bygger på standardutrustning i jämförelse med en lösning som nyttjar dedikerad utrustning utgörs av begränsningar när det kommer till att ange riktning med hjälp av ljudets rumslighet.
