A mobile service using anonymous location-based data : finding reading rooms

Purpose:€“ The purpose of this paper is to develop a mobile service, based on anonymous location-based data, to help students find available reading rooms on a university campus. To evaluate this mobile service, both a usability test and a technology acceptance test were carried out.Design/methodology/approach:€“ The research followed a design science approach, including developing a prototype and evaluating the developed prototype.Findings:€“ The results from the usability test indicated good usability of the developed mobile service. The results from the technology acceptance test demonstrated studentsâ€™ intention to use this mobile service. Most respondents indicated that they would like to use this mobile service to find available reading rooms when they are on campus.Research limitations/implications:€“ The results imply that there are other contexts where anonymous location-based data are also useful. A similar mobile service can be developed for other contexts, such as, hospital complexes, shopping malls, and airports.Originality/value:€“ To the authors best knowledge, the authors have not found any mobile services aiming at counting the density of people residing in a room by using anonymous user location-based data on a university campus. This research fills this gap by developing the mobile service, called finding reading rooms.
