Some practical ways of using smart mobile devices

移动手持设备的现状及其未来发展方向都表明，它们将在实体和社交网络中管理个人数据方面发挥关键作用。拟议的研究计划将调查移动手持设备作为网关和个人计算机选择的角色的几个方面，用于管理用户与物理和互联网络世界之间的个人数据。我们解决了移动手持设备作为用户和互联网之间网关的四个挑战：检测和防止社交网络中的私人个人信息泄漏，点对点数据来源跟踪，移动设备和云之间的功率感知数据同步，以及移动应用程序的在线功耗监测。这些问题的解决方案将从根本上为用户提供卓越的智能移动体验。移动用户将能够积极参与各种社交网络，而不用担心隐私泄露。她可以创建、贡献和使用多媒体数据，这些数据的来源和真实性可以通过可靠的方式进行追踪。她的移动设备也将与云中央存储无缝智能地执行数据同步，这样她在使用她的应用程序时就不会受到本地存储空间的限制。此外，所有这些都由在线电源监控工具支持，有助于优化电源使用并最大限度地延长电池寿命。这项研究不仅将提高加拿大和世界各地个人智能手机的使用，而且还将对企业和工业将与改进的移动手持设备相关的技术应用于其商业模式的方式产生影响。

The current state of mobile handhelds and their future direction all point to the crucial role they will occupy in managing personal data in both physical and social networks. The proposed research program will investigate several aspects of the mobile handhelds' role as the gateway and the personal computer of choice for managing personal data between the user and both the physical and the inter-networked world.We address four challenges in the mobile handheld device's role as the gateway between the user and theInternet: detecting and preventing leakage of private personal information in social networks, peer-to-peer data provenance tracking, power-aware data synchronization between mobile device and cloud, and onlinepower consumption monitoring of mobile applications. The solutions to these problems will provide the user a fundamentally superior smart mobile experience. The mobile user will be able to enjoy active participation in various social networks without worrying about privacy leakage. She can create, contribute and consume multimedia data whose provenance and authenticity can be traced in a trustworthy way. Her mobile device will also seamlessly and intelligently perform data synchronization with the cloud central storage, so that she will not be limited by the local storage space in using her applications. Moreover, all this is supported by an online power monitoring tool that helps to optimize power usage and maximize battery life. This research will not only improve smart phone usage for individuals in Canada and around the world, but will also have implications in the ways that businesses and industry apply the technology associated with improved mobile hand-held devices to their business model.
