  1. Mobile Web Interaction on Embedded Devices Jeremy Luchau CSE 237A

  2. Overview • Inherent disadvantages of mobile web • Technology addressing these issues • Advantages unique to embedded devices • Making use of these advantages • The role of embedded systems in future internet trends

  3. Inherent Disadvantages (1) Input Restrictions • Web form content particularly difficult to provide on reduced keypad (2) Output Restrictions • Standard web pages poorly formatted for browsing on reduced display (3) Unreliable Wireless Connectivity • Frequent service interruptions or lack of coverage

  4. (1) Improving Input • Multimodal Communication • Multiple Channels of Interaction • User provides audio input as well as keypad entry • Voice recognition software • Device returns haptic responses along with graphic display • Tactile feedback

  5. Touchscreen Tactile Response Multi-Function Transducer (MFT) Actuator produces audio and vibrotactile output from an audio signal Low-frequency range amplified to produce physical response Tactile and audio feedback synchronized

  6. (2) Improving Output • Re-authoring existing web sites for mobile display • Embedded device connects to proxy browser • Proxy browser connects to web page • Site partitioned into convenient blocks • Content transformed if necessary • Example: JavaScript removal

  7. (3) Addressing Wireless Issues • Cache and serve application resources for offline use • Perform resource-intensive operations asynchronously • Synchronize when device returns to wireless range • Example: Google Gears

  8. Unique Advantages (1) Location Awareness • Location-specific content and services (2) Personalization • Unique web application content based on user experiences and preferences

  9. (1) Location Awareness • Content as a function of time and place • Local services (restaurants, hotels, etc…) • Location-specific RSS feeds • Information tailored to current location • Location-dependent authentication schemes • Restricted resource access based on physical location

  10. (2) Personalization • User and device profiles stored on embedded device • Profiles adapt through subsequent use • Sites filtered for information relevant to user • Pre-fetch data that has a high likelihood of being accessed

  11. Future Trends: Cloud Computing • Files and applications stored on web server • Desktop storage and local applications become less relevant • Software as a service • Embedded devices poised to make use of this reduced hardware model • Virtual desktop accessible from any device
