Mobile Prosumer

Introductory paper

November 19th, 2006 kpi

I have written a short paper about the Mobile Prosumer for the Mobile Business course.

Abstract:
The internet of things is only a few steps away and promises interesting opportunities in mobile business. The really ubiquitous computer distributed worldwide today is the mobile phone. In this paper, we introduce The Mobile Prosumer, a mobile phone application with corresponding server infrastructure for delivering relevant product information to consumers at the Point of Sale.

We describe the theoretical and social context, our implementation of a prototype and explain how starting this market is possible today with available web content and already ubiquitous EAN barcodes. Our approach anticipates integration of the Near Field Communication (NFC) technology and a global service oriented information system, which will make this business the next big thing.

Please, download and read the paper. Your feedback is highly appreciated.
