Abstract

The proliferation of mobile applications for smartphones has been based on the presence of a data connection between those devices and the Internet. Therefore, users of entry-level mobile phones as well as users who cannot afford a data plan are excluded from the current dynamics of mobile applications consumption. A possible approach to include those users is the usage of SMS as the communication channel. Although SMS is widely supported by carriers and extremely popular among users, it is not trivial to replace the data connection capabilities with SMS. This work addresses this issue with an integrated solution composed by a client platform and a server-side system.This solution enables GUI-based mobile applications to be transferred over a short number of concatenated SMSs. It also presents components for the creation, deployment and distribution of mobile applications. In order to attest the relevance of such solution, an experiment was conducted and its results indicate a substantial level of acceptance by target group.

基于移动的SMS内容传递系统

智能手机移动应用程序的激增是基于这些设备与互联网之间存在数据连接。因此，入门级手机用户以及无法负担数据计划的用户被排除在当前移动应用程序消费的动态之外。包含这些用户的一种可能的方法是使用SMS作为通信渠道。虽然SMS得到了运营商的广泛支持，在用户中也非常受欢迎，但是用SMS代替数据连接功能并不是一件容易的事情。这项工作通过一个由客户端平台和服务器端系统组成的集成解决方案解决了这个问题。该解决方案使基于gui的移动应用程序能够通过少量连接的sms传输。它还提供了用于创建、部署和分发移动应用程序的组件。为了证明这种解决方案的相关性，进行了一项实验，其结果表明目标群体的接受程度很高。
