Developing Smartphone Evaluation Method Based on Ubiquitous Computing Perspective

Smartphone is differentiated from the conventional phones in that smartphone is more powerful in terms of mobility, embeddedness, and intelligence, which are the key features of ubiquitous computing devices. However, due to the dearth of the methods which evaluate to what extent a smartphone is really smart, measuring the performance or quality of smartphones based on ubiquitous computing perspective is still in its earlier stage. Relevant smartphone evaluation will be a guidepost which shows to what direction the smartphones should be developed. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to propose a framework of evaluating smartphones based on ubiquitous computing perspective. Resource based view (RSV) is adopted to build the evaluation model. According to the RSV, smartability and level of smartness are introduced as smartphone capability, which is a moderator between smartphone resources and individual performance.
