Communology develops solution for mobile micro services and context-based mobile advertising

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 4, 2009 -- Communology, a German software vendor that specializes in mobile communications applications, will develop a solution for user-generated mobile services and context-based mobile advertising as a part of uService, a pan-European development project. The project envisions a new type of global-spanning, user-driven network of dynamic services and contents. It plans to enable private and business users to easily offer mobile micro services and contents for their community (their own contacts or members of a social network).

Examples of such services might include organizing a jogging group for like-minded athletes or a soccer fan club. Other applications could be an exchange where travelers offer and look for rides and private accommodations, or mobile multimedia services such as the creation of a virtual DJ’s playlist using the pooled music content on the cell phones of people at a party.

The mobile micro services will be designed to take the user’s context into account. In addition to information on the user’s location, it will also be possible to incorporate data on user behavior and preferences. Even such sensor data as the outside temperature or pulse frequency could be included, for applications in the field of health monitoring or personal fitness coaching, for example.

In order to create, control and update specific services with Smartphones, Communology will create prototypes for client-software applications with pre-configured, basic functions. Plans include such service templates as “Organize a meeting” or “Buy and Sell”. Thanks to intuitive user guidance, even the technically inexperienced will also be able to create and manage micro services while they’re underway.

The service infrastructure and the services themselves will be paid for by advertising, for which Communology will provide a mobile advertising solution. Plans focus on an end-to-end infrastructure, which covers the client as well as the server functions, including the business logic. The Communology ad-serving solution will not only enable a wide variety of different forms of advertising (mobile banners, text ads, coupons, videos, etc.), it will also allow a context-based approach to precisely target individual consumers.
