Tell me more – Why data collection must extend beyond the check-in
The ability to determine intelligent, meaningful characteristics about mobile users by extracting data is central to the value propositions for many mobile platforms and the growing number of apps they support. The availability of real-time data via advances in algorithm performance, geodata collection and remote device management begs the question: What is needed to synchronize, analyze and utilize mobile user profiles to build better solutions for businesses and consumers? What are the difficult technical problems yet to overcome?
This workshop will address the technical ramifications of location-based services unique to various mobile platforms, including Android, iPhone, and the mobile Web. Supported by experiences and actual use studies from developers, participants will be presented with tested methods to help them ensure that the functionality and management of their apps yields the most useful data to drive business value and sustain user relevance.
