This study is a process evaluation-based case study of the Universal App Program (UAP), a global disaster preparedness smartphone application program developed and managed by the Global Disaster Preparedness Center (GDPC). The rise of disaster risks worldwide and the rapid parallel adoption of mobile technology have created opportunities to empower communities to prepare and respond more effectively to disasters. The deployment of ICTs in the humanitarian sphere requires focused research to best understand how these opportunities can be harnessed more effectively. This study explores, describes, and analyzes the phases of design, delivery, and initial receipt of apps developed with the International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement. It study also explores and describes the strategies, implementation and outcomes of these processes, focusing on the perspectives of the various actors working with and on the apps throughout these processes and at each site. The goal is to understand how these apps are conceived and planned, what contextual factors are significant, and within what organizational and country context, and under what assumptions, how the apps are adapted for the needs and contexts of each country involved and its citizenry, and what challenges are faced, with emphasis on the design and delivery phases. The study is both descriptive and prescriptive, utilizing methods of qualitative data collection, primarily in the form of questionnaires, interviews, and document reviews, with the support of some basic quantitative data analysis. The primary findings of this study show that there is a great deal of fidelity between the GDPC’s design of the UAP and that the demand-driven, shared responsibility model of the program has been key to its sustainability. Program designers were successful in incorporating key aspects of ICT4D best practice into the components of the program. Contextual factors, in particular the UAP situated within the GDPC and aligning with the International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement has been a key underlying factor for program development and success, as it enabled GDPC to build on the experiences and apps of the British Red Cross and American Red Cross and uniquely connect and support national societies participating in the UAP.

▼ Today, smartphones have become an important part of our day to day life. Every day, practically every one of us wakes up in the morning hearing the sound of an alarm coming from our smartphone. First thing in the morning, we see the LED flashing on the phone and we have the urge to check all the notifications we got during the night. We unplug our phone from the charger. We read some notifications, we ignore some, we reply to some. Finally, we get out of the bed. We use it all day for everything: replying to emails, text messages and social networking. Finally, we go to bed, plug it back into the charger cable. We touch it until our eyelids close for the night's sleep. We have this routine usage of our smartphone almost every day. Every user uses his/her phone in his/her own way. Not all the people are the same. Not all the people have the same routine of life. But our smartphone is not really smart enough to learn our routine and adapt to us. Our smartphone does not understand our needs. Either it just performs on its own or it performs only after we ask. There is a lot of areas that need automatic adaptation. Smartphones are the devices that perform tasks equal to a laptop or a desktop machine but with limited resources like battery, memory, screen size, etc. Unlike laptop users, smartphone users do not carry chargers with them all the time. Considering smartphone's limited battery as a serious concern, the battery would be the main area that needs automatic adaptation. Smartphones should know the user's recharge cycle and use the available energy efficiently by spending when it is in excess and reserving when it is in shortage. Computation complexity has been doubling every couple of years. But, the battery capacity has been doubling every 10 years. So, it is our responsibility to use the energy efficiently without a compromise in user experience. We propose ENDLESS (Energy Distribution Through Lifetime Estimation and Smartphone Usage Patterns) to determine if energy is to be saved for future use or if it can be consumed for present use according to the estimations of the next recharge time, applications and services that might be used in the near future and how much battery would be needed.

▼ Mobile phones have formed a social network within the phone subscriber population by allowing the phone subscribers to exchange information. Nowadays, smartphones have been improved with a variety of functionalities, such as a built-in cameras, motion sensors, and Wi-Fi wireless connectivity to enable the phone subscriber to take photographs of a desired object for distribution to other users through SMS or email. These functionalities make the mobile phones the perfect tool in terms of viral marketing within cellular phone subscribers. This thesis proposes a novel methodology that allows the phone subscriber to perform gestures for image acquisition from public signage displays. The public display is signage which displays a list of images in chronological order. The signage distributes the image list to nearby phones in the form of datagrams by means of multi-casts. Additionally, Wi-Fi connection between the phone and the signage must be established to enable multi-cast. When the phone has the completed image list downloaded, the phone subscriber can point the phone at the signage and perform a dragging gesture once he sees the desired image displayed by the signage. The current state of the project has concluded the development of the application to achieve the aforementioned task. However, the development of data transmission from one phone to another is still ongoing. Further development in the future would enable another gesture for data distribution to other phones in the vicinity. Web-based administration applications have also been developed to manage the image list in the signage. Through this web-based application, the administrator can generate new image list and then upload it to a FTP server. When the updated image list is stored in a remote FTP server, the signage periodically retrieves the image list from the FTP server. After the signage has received the updated image list, it then distributes the image list in the form of datagrams by means of multicasts. In summary, this thesis documents the impact of such technology in viral marketing research.

▼ LTE MIMO frame antennas for the metal-casing smartphone are presented. The first design includes six antennas (Ant1 to Ant6) and is for the LTE/WLAN MIMO operation. All the antennas are disposed at the short edges of the smartphone. Ant1, Ant2, and Ant5 are disposed at the top edge of the smartphone. Ant1 provides LTE operation in 824~960/1710~2690 MHz. Ant2 covers 1710~2690 MHz for the LTE operation and 1575~1610 MHz for the GPS operation. Ant5 provides WLAN operation. Ant3, Ant4 and Ant6 are disposed at the bottom edge of the smartphone. Ant3, Ant4 and Ant6 follow the design rule of Ant1, Ant2 and Ant5, but Ant4 does not cover the GPS operation band. Ant1 and Ant3 can be applied in 2 Ã 2 LTE MIMO operation in 824~960 MHz. Ant1, Ant2, Ant3 and Ant4 can be applied in 4 Ã 4 LTE MIMO operation in 1710~2690 MHz. Ant5 and Ant6 can be applied in 2 Ã 2 WLAN MIMO operation. However, it is found that the isolation and ECCs of the 4 Ã 4 LTE MIMO operation in 1710~2690 MHz need to be improved. To solve this coupling issue in the MIMO antennas design, a second design is devised. Two self-decoupled LTE MIMO Antennas are proposed. The first antenna covers 880~960 MHz in the low band and 1710~2690 MHz in the high band. The second antenna covers 1710~2690 MHz in the high band. The second antenna is an inverted-F antenna (IFA) using a frame section along the short edge of the metal casing as the IFAâs radiation strip. The frame section is gap-coupled to a feed network and also short-circuited to the system ground plane at a position between the two antennas. In this case, the excited surface currents on the ground plane will be directed to the frame section of the second antenna, without entering into the feed ports of the antennas. The coupling between two antennas can thereby be greatly decreased and good independent radiation patterns of the two antennas can be obtained. Therefore, isolation and ECCs for the 2 Ã 2 LTE MIMO operation can be improved. Moreover, two additional antennas of the same can also be disposed at the opposite short edge to achieve a much higher channel capacity for the 4 Ã 4 LTE MIMO operation.

GPS have emerged as the leading technology to provide location information to various location based services. With an increasing smartphone penetration rate, as well as expanding spatial and network coverage, the idea of combining GPS positioning functions with smartphone platforms to perform GPS-enabled smartphone-based traffic management and data monitoring is promising. This study presents a field experiment conducted along Whitemud Drive (a section of Connected Vehicle Test Bed in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada), Queen Elizabeth Highway, and various urban arterial roadways using a GPS-enabled smartphone, cellular positioning technique, professional GPS handset and combination of smartphone and Geofence. The relative positioning errors and the data collection performances using the aforementioned technologies were evaluated and compared. The characteristics and the relationships between the positioning errors and traffic related factors are investigated using regression analysis. The results indicate that GPS-enabled smartphones are capable of correctly positioning 92% of the roadway segments to Google Earth, while achieving accuracy of less than 10 meters for 95% of the data. Using a cellular positioning technique, cell-IDs were correctly identified in repeatable trials with accuracy levels much lower than the smartphone-GPS positioning. Using combination of smartphone positioning and Geofence are promising in finding accurate positions and timestamps. In all scenarios, the use of four data source for obtaining location and traffic condition is feasible; and particularly, using GPS-enabled smartphones and/or its combination with Geofences can provide good accuracy level for location and traffic state parameter estimates.

▼ Background Delirium is an acute neuropsychiatric syndrome characterised by the rapid onset of severe and fluctuating disturbances in attention, arousal and cognition. Delirium is associated with a range of adverse outcomes; however, it goes undetected in up to 75% of cases. A light-counting task implemented on a custom-built computerised device entitled the Edinburgh Delirium Test Box (EDTB) has recently been validated as an objective screening tool for detecting inattention in delirium. Although the EDTB task is effective, tests contained on readily available devices have the potential for far greater impact. The current study evaluated the feasibility and validity of a smartphone adaptation of the EDTB known as the DelApp. Methods Hospital in-patients aged 60–96 were recruited for three groups: (1) patients with no delirium or known cognitive impairment (n=54); (2) patients with dementia but no current delirium (n=52); and (3) patients with delirium (n=50). Total DelApp score comprises an arousal scale and a light-counting task capturing sustained attention deficits in delirium. Additional tests included: conventional tests of inattention, the Short Orientation-Memory-Concentration test, the Delirium Rating Scale–Revised-98, the Confusion Assessment Method and the Observational Scale of Level of Arousal. Results Delirium patients (mdn=6, IQR=4-7) performed significantly worse than those with dementia (mdn=10, IQR=9-10; p<.001, r=.76) and controls (mdn=10, IQR=10-10; p<.001, r=.88). DelApp scores also correlated with symptom severity (τ =-.57, p<.001). General cognitive impairment did not differ between the delirium and dementia groups and therefore could not account for sustained attention deficits. Receiver operating characteristic analysis indicated that the DelApp was 98% sensitive and 93% specific to delirium. Discussion These results, like those of the EDTB, highlight the utility of the objective assessment of attention to identify delirium and differentiate it from dementia. The DelApp could be cheaply and easily distributed among healthcare professionals and has promising utility in clinical and research settings.

▼ Pavement roughness is an expression of the unevenness or disturbance in a pavement surface that adversely affects the ride quality of a vehicle. Roughness also affects user delay costs, fuel consumption, tire, and maintenance costs. Roughness is predominantly characterized in terms of International Roughness Index (IRI), which is often measured using inertial profilers. Inertial profilers are equipped with sensitive accelerometers, a height measuring laser, a distance measuring instrument, etc., to measure pavement profile. Modern smartphones are equipped with a number of sensors including a three-axis accelerometer, which has been utilized in this project to collect vehicle acceleration data using an android-based smartphone application. Two data analysis schemes have been developed to determine pavement profile from vehicle vertical acceleration data: a double integration and an inverse state space model. Acceleration data was double-integrated numerically to obtain a surrogate estimate of pavement profile based on the calculated vertical position of the vehicle cab. After noting a fairly significant underprediction of IRI for rough pavement sections with the double integration method, due in part to the dampening effects of the vehicle suspension, an inverse state space model was developed. This model enhances the double integration procedure by considering the physics of the mass-spring-damper system of the vehicle sprung mass as part of the back-estimation of road profile from vehicle cab acceleration. In addition, MATLAB and C# scripts were developed to estimate IRI from the pavement profile, using the procedure specified by ASTM. For initial validation, three test sites were selected to collect pavement profile using an inertial profiler along with acceleration collected using the smartphone application. These results demonstrated the potential for smartphone-measure IRI, as good correspondence to the inertial profiler was found for all but the roughest pavement investigated. The state space model was shown to provide significantly better estimates of IRI for rough pavement sections. Good repeatability between measurement replications was also noted, particularly when the space state model was used. For further validation, pavement roughness data was also collected using six smartphones and four vehicles. It was found that both the smartphone model and the vehicle used for data collection will affect the IRI measurement. However, averaged IRI values measured across all smartphones and vehicles were found to be in good agreement with the inertial profiler measured IRI for most of the pavement sections. The final phase of the study involved preliminary work in using the smartphone application for the purpose of pavement feature identification (bumps and potholes). Acceleration data collected using the smartphone application was filtered using an experimentally determined threshold value of 4 m/s2 to identify occurrences of significant localized distresses, and a MATLAB script has been developed to locate… Advisors/Committee Members: Buttlar, William G (advisor), Buttlar, William G (Committee Chair), Roesler, Jeffery R (committee member), Work, Daniel B (committee member), Vavrik, William R (committee member).

▼ ABSTRACT Suicide remains an important issue for mental health professionals, with 44,193 deaths by suicide in 2015. The current response to a client experiencing a suicidal crisis is to collaboratively construct a crisis response plan. A crisis response plan is a document that outlines coping strategies intended to help a client resolve a suicidal crisis. Crisis response plans are made up of several content areas all designed to assist a client with effectively managing urges and thoughts related to suicide. With the increased prevalence of smartphones in the United States, researchers have begun to explore the potential for smartphones to augment and improve psychological treatment. Currently, the existing literature contains no examples of a digital application replacing a traditional treatment instrument, only in augmenting traditional treatments. However, the technology of smartphones presents an opportunity to improve access to therapeutic tools in an unprecedented way. Participants in this study were 14 clients undergoing treatment at the Texas Tech University Psychology Clinic or Texas Tech Student Counseling Center who used either a pencil-and-paper crisis response plan or the My3 application, a digital recreation of a crisis response plan, for three weeks before switching to the alternate crisis response plan format for three additional weeks of data collection. Client self-report data was collected during each participant’s weekly therapy session for six consecutive weeks. It was hypothesized (1) that the My3 application will be more effective at reducing suicide ideation than the pencil-and-paper crisis response plan, (2) that participants using the My3 application will report a greater degree of satisfaction with their crisis response plan than participants using the pencil-and-paper crisis response plan, and (3) that the ease of use afforded by the My3 application will explain the greater effectiveness of the smartphone application crisis response plan. A small-n repeated measures design was used to test these hypotheses. Data analyses using the reliable change index (RCI) were conducted for each of the hypotheses. Overall, there was mixed support for the hypotheses. Data for five participants supported hypothesis 1. Hypothesis 2 was not supported for any of participants. Hypothesis 3 was similarly not supported using the current sample. Ultimately, the current study provided preliminary data for future research into the effectiveness of smartphone applications as tools to augment clinical practice. The current study does not indicate superiority of the My3 application over the pencil-and-paper measures commonly used. However, it also does not suggest that there is any harm in using the two formats of crisis response plan in concert. Future investigations into the effectiveness of smartphone applications such as the My3 should attempt a randomized clinical trial design that would provide more definitive support for the use of a smartphone application alongside or in place… Advisors/Committee Members: Richards, C.

▼ Every year, a wide variety of modern smart devices, such as smartphones and tablets, are released by big brands, like Apple, Samsung and HTC. Compared to previous generations, these smart devices are more sophisticated in two ways: (a) they run advanced operating systems which allow developers to create a large collection of complicated apps, and (b) they have more diverse sensors which can be used to perform various context‐aware tasks. These two attributes, together, have conceived a new class of applications, crowd‐sensing. Crowd‐sensing is a capability by which a task requestor can recruit smartphone users to provide sensor data to be used towards a specific goal or as part of a social or technical experiment. For the purpose of supporting crowd‐sensing tasks, professional apps are developed to provide specialized platforms, and high quality sensors are used to generate semantically rich data. ❧ In this dissertation, we focus on possible ways to improve efficiency, privacy and robustness for crowd‐sensing applications. ❧ First, targeting the general form of crowd‐sensing, we design efficient algorithms to answer the following question: how to optimize the selection of crowd‐sensing participants to deliver credible information about a task? Based on a model about credibility of information, we develop solutions for the discrete version and the time‐averaged version of this problem. ❧ Second, we consider a special crowd‐sensing case in which Internet‐connected mobile users contribute sensor data as training samples, and collaborate on building a model for classification tasks such as activity or context recognition. Constructing the model can naturally be performed by a service running in the cloud, but users may be more inclined to contribute training samples if the privacy of these data could be ensured. For this, we develop algorithms and an associated system design to perform collaborative learning task in a way that preserves user data privacy without significant loss of accuracy. ❧ Finally, the technique of dynamic analysis can be employed to test many aspects of crowd‐sensing apps, such as performance, security, and correctness properties. As an initial attempt, we show how to use dynamic analysis to detect placement ad fraud in which app developers manipulate visual layouts of ads in ways that result in invisible ad impressions and accidental clicks from real users. We demonstrate that the detection can be performed using optimized automated navigation methods in a large set of 1,150 tablet apps and 50,000 phone apps.

▼ In today???s world, smartphone has become one of the majorly used electronic devices with millions of user all around the world. The smartphones provide plenty of features like large memory, different types of user interface, GPRS, GSM, BLUETOOTH, etc. We can make use of some of these features in commercial world. The best way to use it will be for home security and control systems. Home security is a major concern nowadays because of the increase in crime rate. Also, control system is very important to make life easier. In this project, I am using smartphone to provide home security and control system in better way. I am using smartphone to turn ON and OFF the alarms and other control devices and to get notification if any intruder enters in the house. The aim of this project is to develop an application for smartphone. I have chosen smartphone with Symbian operating systems because it is one of the most popular smartphone operating system in the world. The programming language used to develop the application is Python. Python is an open source developing language and has very rich features and library functions. Python is easy to use and helps to reduce the code size due to its inbuilt functions. I will be using Bluetooth communication protocol for wireless communication with the hardware built using micro-controller which will control the devices installed in the home. I have chosen Bluetooth because it is available in all the smartphones and have many advantages. The developed application will help the user to control the operation of their security and control devices using their smartphone, eliminating the use of any other hardware or remote controls. Nowadays smartphones are easily available in, the market with very low cost, if we design the same hardware using microcontroller and other peripherals such as keypad, LCD, wireless module, etc. It will cost much more than one smartphone handset and will also consume lot of time in designing, implementing hardware and testing its functionality, also the size will not be so small, hence in this project I have considered cost and time as major factors.

▼ Smartphones are highly-capable mobile computing devices that have dramatically changed how people do business, interact with online services, and receive entertainment. Smartphone functionality is enhanced by an ecosystem of apps seemingly covering the entire gamut of functionality. While smartphone apps have undoubtedly provided immeasurable benefit to users, they also contribute their fair share of drawbacks, such as increases in security risks and the erosion of user privacy. In this thesis, I focus on the Android smartphone operating system, and pave the way for improving the security and privacy of its app ecosystem. Chapter 3 starts by doing a comprehensive study on how Android apps have evolved over a three-year period, both in terms of their dangerous permission usage and the vulnerabilities they contain. It uncovers a trend whereby apps are using increasing numbers of dangerous permissions over time and at the same time becoming increasingly vulnerable to attack by adversaries. By analysing the Google Play Store, Android's official app marketplace, Chapter 4 shows that many general-purpose apps can be replaced with functionallysimilar alternatives to the benefit of the user. This confirms that users still wield power to improve their own security and privacy. Chapter 5 combines this insight with real-world data from approximately 30,000 smartphones to understand the actual risk that the average user faces as a result of their use of apps, and takes an important first step in measuring the improvements that can be made. Users, however, are not always aware of the risks they face and thus Chapter 6 demonstrates the feasibility of a classification system that can transparently and unobtrusively identify and alert users to the presence of apps of concern on their devices. This classification system identifies apps from features in the network traffic they generate, without itself analysing the payload of their traffic, thus maintaining a high threshold of privacy. While the work presented in this thesis has uncovered undesirable trends in app evolution, and shows that a large fraction of users are exposed to non-trivial risk from the apps they use, in many cases there is suficient diversity in the offerings of general-purpose apps in the Google Play Store to empower users to mitigate the risks coming from the apps they use. This work takes us a step further in keeping users safe as they navigate and enjoy app ecosystems.

▼ This study examines key ways the new generation of mobile devices can enhance a user’s experience in New Zealand’s National Parks. With the growing adoption of smartphone and tablet devices, opportunities exist for this relatively new mobile computing platform to enhance visitor experience in New Zealand’s National Parks. Currently there exists a large number of mobile applications that could be considered relevant to National Park visitors, however, many are poorly conceived, poorly executed, or fail to take advantage of modern smartphone capabilities. Many existing solutions merely repackage existing print or web material and do not leverage the unique display and interaction capabilities offered by modern mobile devices. In this study, a wide range of existing iPhone applications are examined and analysed in terms of their essential or innovative characteristics. Critical elements for successful applications are identified. These are: location awareness (context sensitive information), immersive and compelling user experiences, integration with social networking, and engagement with the environment. A staged process is followed where three individual but related experiments systematically apply design methods of ideation, prototyping, and production to create an array of outcomes. These outcomes include extensive collections of application concepts (possibilities), rapid prototypes, semi-developed applications, and fully functional applications capable of being used in situ. All of these outputs have been informed by wide ranging IDEO ideation and production techniques, including: activity analysis, character profiles, extreme user interviews, fly on the wall, paper prototyping, quick and dirty prototyping, scenarios, try it yourself, and multiple site visits. When developing smartphone software, developers often assume the roles of Designer and Programmer. Design is considered a broad and complex discipline and consists of many subdomains (for example, interaction design, experience design, service design, strategic design). In this study, the application designer’s role involves aspects of interaction design, information design, experience design, and graphic design. In this research it is identified that during design and implementation phases there can be a tendency for ‘hybrid’ designer/ programmers to restrict ideas early in the design process. From this finding a simple guideline is developed to help mitigate this effect. While in some cases the hybrid designer/programmer role may need to be managed carefully, the input from this combined skill set is found to speed up development and encourage rapid iteration. This research identifies many opportunities for enhancing visitor experience through the use of smartphone technology. By using the tools and techniques identified in this study, a large number of innovative concepts were created and three iPhone and iPad applications were deployed to Department of Conservation sites around the South Island of New Zealand. Furthermore, it is found that the… Advisors/Committee Members: Abbott, Mick (advisor).

▼ Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems are used to measure and analyze structure data (e.g., floor accelerations and strains in structural members) to identify damage (or structural changes) to a structure. With aging infrastructures and collapses of recent structures such as the 2007 I-35W Mississippi River Bridge and the 2013 clothing factory in Bangladesh, SHM can help address an important societal issue in structural safety and reliability. In the current practice, SHM systems include dedicated sensors linked (via wires or wirelessly) to data acquisition systems. These sensing systems are typically costly and impractical for many educational curriculums. A lack of exposures to college students limits applications and understanding of SHM in the practicing engineering industry. By replacing these dedicated sensing systems with a common technology such as smartphones, this thesis project aims to make SHM experiments inexpensive and practical to college students. Additionally, the project can assist in exposing K-12 students to SHM and the general field of structural engineering at a young age and increasing their interest in becoming engineers. This multidisciplinary research included developing a smartphone application using the JavaTM programming language on the Android platform. The application utilizes the phone’s user interface, internal accelerometer, internal storage, and Bluetooth to create a user friendly experience. One portion of the application is used for SHM purposes. It assists users in time-synchronizing multiple phones, recording acceleration data and detecting changes in structural properties. When compared to a dedicated sensing system used in a lab setting, data from the smartphones produced similar results. Another portion of the application, incorporated into an educational outreach program at a local middle school, was designed to help students understand the basic concepts of structural dynamics — more specifically, how stiffness and damping affect a structure’s motions. This interactive smartphone application, coupled with its ability to be a cost-effective system for measuring structural responses in classroom experiments, can get students excited about engineering.
