FUTURE OF MOBILE TECHNOLOGY

IntroductionWith our ever increasing demand of technology in our world, Mobile Technology seems to be at the fore-front. It is very hard to believe that this technology didn’t even exist 100 years ago, now it is the most used technology in our society today.In the near future, there will be more mobile phones than there are people in the world. Almost the entire population will have a mobile phone in their hands.

With this in mind, we will explore the future of Mobile Technology, with a brief history of the past, and the possibilities that lie ahead. In terms of mobile technology:

THE FUTURE IS NOW

Definition

An electronic tele-communications device, often referred to as a cellular phone or cellphone. Mobile phones connect to a wireless communications network through radio wave or satellite transmissions. Most mobile phones provide voice communications, Short Message Service (SMS), Multimedia Message Service (MMS), games, cameras, video players, navigational systems, video call and also provide Internet services such as Web browsing and e-mail. They can be used over a wide area without a physical connection to a network.

PRESENTWhere we are today

Cell phones in the hands of everyone

SURVEYSilicon India recently reported, the number of active cell phones will reach 7.3 billion by 2014.AND This simply means that by 2020 we have more phone in this world than the number of people in this world according to the SILICON survey.

Sizes and TypesSizes

Mobile phones started off large.Then went to a smaller hand-held device.Recently, larger units have become popular again.It seems completely dependent on the user.Some want it as small as possible to fit into their pocket. Others want large screens and multi-functionality.The future is whatever size you want.

Generation TypesPast and Present

A new mobile generation has appeared approximately every 10th year. 1G was introduced in 1981.

2G system started to roll out in 1992.3G system first appeared in 2001.

4G systems fully compliant in 2012.

Generation TypesFuture

Next in line - 5G - 5th generation mobile networks. 5G is also referred to as beyond 2020 mobile communications technologies. 5G does not describe any particular specification in any official document.

Possible new features - New data coding - Efficient support of machine-type devices - One unified global standard - Real wireless world with no more limitation with access and zone issues - User centric network concept instead of operator-initiated - World-wide wireless web (WWWW)

Operating Systems

Augmented RealityMakes more information available for users by combining computer data to what we see in real life. Using the camera on your phone, you can point it somewhere ‘live’ to get an information overlay of where you can find the nearest cafes or dining places.

Future Performance

Storage CapacityEntry-level smartphones come between 512MB and 2GB of internal storage, with high-end models ranging between 8GB (the iPhone 3G, the Palm Pre), 16GB (the Nokia N96), and 32GB (the iPhone 3GS). With the sizes of phones increasing and the alarming rate of new technology, storage capacity will increase by many GB, up to 500 GB in the near future. People want everything wherever they go; the mobile community.

Mobile Input Technology TrendsThe Keypad

Current state of text prediction

60% Lesser Number of Key Taps Needed

What is driving this ?• Better Language models, Accurate user behavior models• Adaptive Learning using prior user conversations • Connecting with social media text

The Keypad 2.0

And in the future:• Using user-context in more powerful ways• E.g. predict whole sentences

From qwerty layoutTo personalized layout

Mobile Input Technology TrendsWhat About Touch

Driven by:

From Touch To Gestures

• Advancements in capacitive touch screen sensor processing with proximity sensing (e.g. Apple)• Miniaturization of IR Depth Sensors (e.g. The Structure Sensor)

Mobile Input Technology TrendsAnd Voice?

Driven by:

From Speak NOW To Always Listening

• Advancements in Voice Data Models – Multi-lingual / multi-demography• Improvements in natural language processing. E.g. INDIAN accents• Low power sensors which distinguish voice command “active” mode

Mobile Sensor Technology TrendsAdvancement of Sensors

Delivering Novel Use-cases and Utilities• Say, a more personalized UI (when Mobile is in Hand and facing)• Navigation Inside-buildings (without GPS)

From Few sensors

To multi-sensor Fusion

---

Mobile Computing Technology TrendsContextual Computing

Delivering Use-cases and Utilities• A more personalized phone book (Who am I likely to call? E.g. John)• Anticipatory News discovery (What news am I more likely to read now?)

From near-zero personalization

To algorithmic engines that provide near-exact suggestions

---

Uses multiple activity data

Mobile Computing Technology TrendsCollaborative Computing

More Novel Use-cases around Collaborative Computing• Connect motorists looking for a parking spot with others about to leave one. E.g. • Book hotel reservations from people who can’t use theirs. E.g.

From Personal Navigation

To Collaborative Navigation: Real people Outsmarting Traffic Together
