The implementation of context awareness in smartphones is getting broader. Through embedded sensors in smartphones, they are able to detect the device’s location and communicate through radio frequency. By communicating through Near Field Communication (NFC), smartphones are able to read NFC tags in short distances to understand the context of the information. Developing a mobile application in the context of blood donation will allow the application to assist donors through the process of donation and improves the user’s experience. The blood donation study is conducted at the National Blood Centre (NBC) in Malaysia. In developing the mobile application, the system architecture and development pattern were designed. The system architecture is presented to understand the requirements of implementing the application. The Model-View-Presenter (MVP) pattern was utilized to develop the application to ensure the development followed the standard procedure. The mobile application with the context awareness ability was evaluated through interviews with potential end users and the stakeholders of NBC. The evaluation resulted in positives responses and offered valuable feedbacks.

The Impact

Near Field Communication (NFC) as relatively new wireless communication technology pushes new challenges to application developers to make their applications easier to use and simpler to operate. This point of view known as usability element. Usability is one of the elements for creating good quality applications. This study aims to analyse the usability of mobile-based application embeds with NFC. We also try to evaluate usability in applications used by children. We developed an application called Receptionist which has a primary function as a communication tool between students, teachers and parents at a middle school. To know the impact of the NFC, the Receptionist input system is designed with two methods, via conventional navigation (using buttons) and via NFC. To understand the usability of each method, we do user testing and questioners on students. The results show, using the NFC there is a significant increase in usability attributes: efficiency, effectiveness, and learnability. On the other hand, there is decreases of user satisfaction comparing to conventional method. In general, this study demonstrates the potential of new input device technologies that can improve the usability of mobile-based applications.

Additional Option

Since attendance monitoring and recording plays a key role in the school environment, especially regarding the duties of students and guardians, the purpose of this paper was to develop a mobile application to automate student attendance recording using Near Field Communication technology. (NFC). Students record their presence by approaching an NFC tag (present on ID badges) from a teacher’s mobile device, which receives identification data from the students present. This verification method is an additional option for making calls and enables recorded data to be exported and used in the school’s academic system.

Blood is undeniably essential to save lives. The high demand for blood cannot compete with the amount collected through blood donation. In order to cater to the issue, researchers tend to focus more on the donors’ side. Meanwhile, the other party which is the blood bank continues to play its role to increase the blood supply. The blood bank processes blood in four stages: donation, screening, inventory and hospital pickup. This paper aims to address the challenges and issues in the local blood bank through ubiquitous computing, specifically at the blood donation stage. Blood donation is the most critical stage where the blood bank engages directly with the donors. The issues and challenges faced by the blood bank are uncovered by, interviews, field study and literature reviews. The proposed solution takes advantage of the ubiquitous computing concept that enables devices to communicate with each other seamlessly. With the advancement of mobile technology, smartphones become the closest of any devices to achieve ubiquitous computing. Communication technologies like Near Field Communication and Wi-Fi aid the interaction between the user and the system which are expected to solve the challenges and issues of blood donation.

Cara menyewa lapangan futsal dilakukan dengan penyewa datang ke lapangan untuk menyewa lapangan tidak efektif, karena penyewa tidak tahu apakah jadwal yang ingin mereka sewa tersedia atau tidak. Oleh karena itu, dikembangkan aplikasi penyewaan berbasis web dan NFC. Ada tiga peran hak akses untuk masuk ke situs web, yaitu admin, penyewa dan pemain. Peran admin berfungsi untuk memantau penyewaan lapangan dan menambahkan penyewa baru ke dalam basis data. Peran penyewa dapat masuk ke website setelah mendaftar kepada admin dan mendapatkan kartu NFC sebagai identifikasi. Pemain bertujuan untuk menambah biaya sewa pada penyewaan lapangan. Peran pemain dapat mendaftar langsung di situs web. Proses sewa dilakukan oleh peran penyewa, maka peran pemain dapat menambahkan biaya sewa untuk membayar sewa lapangan sebagai syarat check-in ke lapangan. Penyewa dan pemain datang ke lapangan yang telah disewa sesuai jadwal. Penyewa melakukan check-in lapangan dengan kartu NFC dan palang pintu terbuka. Setelah sesi sewa selesai, penyewa check-out dari lapangan.Setelah dilakukan pengujian dan analisa terhadap rancang bangun sistem penyewaan lapangan futsal menggunakan NFC (near field communication) didapat 5.Kualitas aplikasi sistem penyeywaan lapangan futsam berbasis website sesuai ISO 9126 dari aspek functionality baik karena fungsi yang dibutuhkan sudah berfungsi dengan baik tanpa ditemui error. Pengembangan aplikasi menggunakan pendekatan konsep MVC(Model View Controller) sehingga perbaikan dan pengembangan (maintainability) menjadi mudah. Kualitas aplikasi dari aspek portability sudah baik karena aplikasi dapat berjalan pada browser yang berbeda tanpa ditemui error baik dari sistem ataupun tampilan.
