The Mobi.Ubiq framework provides an open source, open standard framework for context-aware applications. Context-aware applications are systems that depend on the context of the user. In most cases these refer to location-based services (e.g. depending on the location of the user). Several object-based services are in development now that mobile phones are able to read barcodes, now RFID tags and QR barcodes are becoming more widely available, and that mobile phones have the capability to read such RFID tags and barcodes. The combination of location and object data provides a vast variety of potential context-aware services.

The Mobi.Ubiq framework enables easier implementation of context aware applications, makes it possible to compose services and provides mobile users with opportunities to discover services based on location and object data.

We developed a high performance lightweight barcode reader in Symbian C++. The decoder works on S60 and decodes UPC, EAN13 and QR barcodes. The image-processing algorithm is one of the most advanced readers currently available and can read barcodes on different surfaces and in situations with limited light.

The decoder can be used in various projects.

Mobi.Ubiq developed a platform for NFC phones that is part of the Mobi.Ubiq framework. NFC stands for Near Field Communication; a short-range high frequency wireless communication technology, which enables the exchange of data between electronic devices over short distances. This typically refers to a mobile phone that reads a RFID tag.

The Privacy coach is developed in collaboration with TNO and Groningen University. It enables users to scan the privacy profile of RFID tags on products or personal cards with RFID such as transport passes, sports club membership cards or loyalty cards.
