2. OBC
Mobile – cloud computing solutions
One Blue Cloud focuses on providing a mobile cloud
computing platform for areas of the world where mobile
computing is a growth opportunity .
Typical solutions can be developed for :
Education Health Government
3. Summary
Librarize is a module of the ”School Management
System” suite, a system created to modernize schools
administrative tools using mobile – cloud computing.
Librarize is a mobile app that converts your smart
phone into a librarian and store results in the cloud ,
providing a flexible, distributed low cost solution for
book management for schools.
6. Prototype: Login
User login screen:
request username and
password for registered
users.
User id would be
provided by OBC
management system and
requested at school
administration.
7. Prototype: Main menu
Main functionalities:
Issue a book
Renew a book issued before.
Reserve a book
Search for a book.
View book status.
Help topics.
Exit the app.
8. Books can be issued by
student id or book id.
Each book should have a
QR code.
When issuing a book by
book id, the student can use
the QR scanner of the
smartphone and
automatically fill the box.
Prototype: Issue a book
9. Prototype: Renew a book
With book id the system
validates the status of a
certain book.
When clicking ”Renew
Book” button, if the
book isn't reserved,
another loan period
would be granted.
10. Prototype: Return a book
Just write or scan the
book id, return the book
to the returning place in
the library and click
”Return Book”.
The book status, if it
isn't reserved would
change to ”available”.
12. Prototype: Search
Search functionallity allows the student to view
books status by id, title, student id or student
name.
In the case of a unique book id search, only one
book is displayed.
Information about status is shown. If loaned,
return date is displayed.
13. The business model explained
The observation that mobile phone is turning into the
preferred devices for computing is that the several
parts of the world give emphasis to an opportunity to
develop low-cost, light-weight applications combined
with cloud computing back-end which could lead to an
innovation in developing and deploying software
solutions for administrative and service production in
countries with developing economies.
14. Business opportunity
• In future, PC’s will be bypassed by the mobile to be the most
widely accessible means of computing due to the relative low
unit cost of mobile devices and their widespread acceptance and
use
• Many applications that are currently running on PC’s will have
to be redesigned or reinvented for mobile computing. This
problem will create business opportunity where mobile will be
the front end (GUI and local processing) and cloud computing
will be the backbone (storage and tasks that demands more
processing power)
15. Solution
One blue cloud’s solutions for mobile and cloud computing:
o One blue Cloud will seek to identify areas of the world where
the new mobile – cloud computing paradigm will have the
greatest impact, and then develop new and innovative solutions
for administrative and service production purposes.
o One Blue cloud will build on the strong growth of mobile
devices, both smart and non-smart phones and other low-cost
mobile devices like tablets. Coupled with storage and
processing capacity from cloud computing it will allow us to
develop new solutions than can be deployed in an extremely
cost-effective way, even in countries with developing
infrastructures and a low level of computing maturity today
o One blue cloud will first target solutions be monetized in large
markets where demand is huge, and the standards of living are
growing.
16. Demo module for a school administrative
system (The Librarize Prototype)
• Focus on School Administrative Systems/ Pedagogical tools for
Schools
• Problem Area:
– Control and oversight over school books that are distributed
as loans to students at the beginning of the year and then
brought back at the end of the year
• Prototype makes it possible to check out and check in books to
students using mobile phone with a camera
• Once book gets scanned, the data, book id, verified student id
are automatically sorted in the cloud and accessible for the
school authorities for administrative purposes.
