We propose a 1D barcode acquisition and decoding system based on the use of J2ME enabled mobile phones. The approach relies on image processing techniques to correct the distortions introduces by the acquisition device, segments the useful information, decodes it and subsequently sends it to a web server for further processing.

The rapid proliferation of mobile computing technology has massive potential for providing access to different services at any time and from anywhere. The mobile telephone is more than just making calls. It allows accessing several applications and services via the internet connection or by building stand-alone applications. The mobile telephone has a considerable effect in tourism by allowing ...

Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME) is turning into a major platform for wireless application development. Compared with desktop and server-side application development, Java-based wireless development faces some unique challenges. For example, small wireless devices have little processing power, limited memory, short battery life, and unreliable network connections. To develop wireless appli...

In this paper, we present a system called Ubiquitous Learning Support System for Multi-devices. In this system, learners could access the server and download learning resources in two modes through wireless communication devices in line with J2ME. In this paper, we introduce the design of this system.

85 I n the first issue, I covered Java 2, Micro Edition (J2ME) technology, focusing on its Connection Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) and Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) (see the " Part I " sidebar). Here, I take a closer look at J2ME's business and commercial side, comparing several development toolkits and addressing challenges the growing community of J2ME developers faces. Java...
