Symbian OSSymbian OS est un système d'exploitation pour téléphones mobiles et assistants personnels conçu par Symbian ltd. Symbian OS est l'héritier du système d'exploitation Epoc32. En 1996, Symbian ltd est fondée d'un partenariat de la société mère PSION avec Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola et Matsushita. Il dispose de nombreuses API spécifiques pour la communication mobile voix et données, et utilise des protocoles standard de communication réseau : IPv4/IPv6, WAP, MMS, Bluetooth, GPRS/UMTS, Java, SyncML...
Bluetoothvignette|Logo de Bluetooth. Bluetooth est une norme de télécommunications permettant l'échange bidirectionnel de données à courte distance en utilisant des ondes radio UHF sur la bande de fréquence de . Son but est de simplifier les connexions entre les appareils électroniques à proximité en supprimant des liaisons filaires.
Debit cardA debit card, also known as a check card or bank card, is a payment card that can be used in place of cash to make purchases. The card usually consists of the bank's name, a card number, the cardholder's name, and an expiration date, on either the front or the back. Many of the new cards now have a chip on them, which allows people to use their card by touch (contactless), or by inserting the card and keying in a PIN as with swiping the magnetic stripe.
Location-based serviceA location-based service (LBS) is a general term denoting software services which use geographic data and information to provide services or information to users. LBS can be used in a variety of contexts, such as health, indoor object search, entertainment, work, personal life, etc. Commonly used examples of location based services include navigation software, social networking services, location-based advertising, and tracking systems. LBS can also include mobile commerce when taking the form of coupons or advertising directed at customers based on their current location.
Near and far fieldThe near field and far field are regions of the electromagnetic (EM) field around an object, such as a transmitting antenna, or the result of radiation scattering off an object. Non-radiative near-field behaviors dominate close to the antenna or scattering object, while electromagnetic radiation far-field behaviors dominate at greater distances. Far-field E (electric) and B (magnetic) field strength decreases as the distance from the source increases, resulting in an inverse-square law for the radiated power intensity of electromagnetic radiation.
