CIS 205 Ch 7.2

location based services

applications that use location information to provide a service

IT consumerization

the blending of personal and business use of technology devices and applications

estimated time of arrival

the time of day of an expected arrival at a certain destination and is typically used for navigation applications

Routing information

Once users have an idea where they want to go, GIS can provide directions to get there using either a map or step-by-step instructions

wireless business applications

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Global Positioning Systems (GPS) Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

geocoin

a round coin-sized object, is uniquely numbered and hidden in geocache

global positioning system

a satellite navigation system providing extremely accurate position, time, and speed information

Mobile device management

a security strategy comprised of products and services that offer remote support for mobile devices, such as smart phones, laptops, and tablets

Bring your own device policy

Employees use their own device. Save company money. Zero control over security, reliability, and compatibility

Mapping densities

GIS can map population and even densities based on a standard area unit, such as square miles, making it easy to see distributions and concentrations

Finding what is nearby

Given a specific location, the GIS finds sources within a defined radius

Three Primary Areas of an Enterprise Mobility Management Strategy

Mobile device management, Mobile application management, Mobile information management

Mapping quantities

Users can map quantities to find out where the most or least of a feature may be

Sending information alerts

Users may want to be notified when information relevant to them becomes available near their location

RFID accelerometer

a device that measures the acceleration of an item and is used to track truck speeds or taxi cab speeds

Mobile application management

a security strategy that administers and enforces corporate epolicies for application on mobile devices

Mobile information management

a security strategy that involves keeping sensitive data encrypted and allowing only approved application to access or transmit it

data in motion

a stream of data that is moving or being transported between locations witin or between computer systems

Enterprise mobility management

an enterprisewide security strategy to enforce corporate epolicies while enabling employee use of mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets

containerization

application sandboxing, which isolates corporate application from personal applications on a device

dual persona technology

creates two completely separate user interfaces one the same device, one for work and one for personal use

data in use

data that is currently being updated, processed, erased, accessed, or read by a system

Passive RFID tags

do not have a power source

active RFID tags

have their own transmitter and power source (typically a battery)

Spatial data

identifies the geographic location of features and boundaries on earth, such as natural or constructed features, oceans, and more

GIS map automation

links business assets to a centralized system where they can be tracked and monitored over time

Asset tracking

occurs when a company places active or semi-passive RFID tags on expensive products or assets to gather data on the items' location with little or no manual intervention

edge matching

occurs when paper maps are laid edge to edge and items that run across maps but do not match are reconfigured to match

data at rest

refers to all data in computer storage

lattitude

represents a north/south measurement of position

geographic information system

stores, views, and analyzes geographic data, creating multidimensional charts or maps

Fast data

the application of big data to analytics to smaller data sets in near real or real time in order to solve a problem or create business value

Pervasive computing

the growing trend of embedding computer capabilities into everyday objects to make them effectively communicate and perform useful tasks in a way that maximizes the end user's need to interact with computers as computers

cartography

the science and art of making an illistrated map or chart

Mobile application development

the set of processes and procedures involved in writing software for use on wireless devices

estimated time en route

the time remaining before reaching a destination using the present speed and is typically used for navigation applications

Semi-passive RFID tags

use a battery to run the microchip's circuitry but communicate by drawing power from the RFID reader

Chipless RFID tags

use plastic or conductive polymers instead of silicon-based microchips, allowing them to be washed or exposed to water without damaging the chip

Automatic vehicle location

uses GPS tracking to track vehicles

MDM Device Policies

Bring your own device, Choose your own device, company-issues personally enabled

Mobile Information Management Characteristics

Data at rest, data in motion, data in use

Choose your own device policy

Employees choose a company approved and configured device. Costs company money to purchase and maintain device. No personal use allowed. Complete control over security, reliability, and compatibility

Company issues, Personally enabled policy

Employees provided with corporate devices. Costs company to purchase and maintain devices. Partial control over security, reliability and compatibility as employees can use for personal use

Graphical information system uses

Finding what is nearby Routing Information Sending Information alerts Mapping densities Mapping Quantities

Geocache

a GPS technology adventure game that posts the longitude and latitude location for an item on the Internet for users to find

geocoding (in spatial databases)

a coding process that assigns a digital map feature to an attribute that serves as a unique ID or classification

accelerometer

a device that can measure the force of acceleration, whether caused by gravity or by movement

progressive web application (PWA)

a website that looks and behaves as if it is a mobile application but is just a normal website

digital divide

a worldwide gap giving advantage to those with access to technology

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

uses electronic tags and labels to identify objects wirelessly over short distances
