SIMagine

SIMagine 2008 Award Winners

Golden Prize

SIODATA	NFC Coupon	China
Description: NFC Coupon is a wireless marketing and CRM solution using NFC and Java Card technology to leverage couponning and create more accurate advertising data analysis The solution uses a smart card web server to offer a graphical user interface to manage virtual coupons on a mobile handset with easy and fast access via an on-card portal. Using QR-Code, paper-based coupons are converted into Java card-based virtual coupons that can then be used with NFC-enabled devices. A backend server analyzes the data and consumer behavior to establish the best places and methods for advertising, with NFC used for fast service access and data exchange.

Silver Prize

Precise Biometrics	Precise BioMatch™	Sweden
Description: Precise BioMatch™ is a secure solution for matching a person’s fingerprint with one stored inside the protected environment of a cell phone SIM card for reliable, user friendly authorization. Both Security and privacy are protected as the matching is performed entirely inside the SIM card. Fingerprints are sent to the telephone in any of a variety of ways including NFC, Bluetooth, GPRS and MMS. No integrated reader is necessary . Using an external sensor means that the matching mechanism can be used to confirm a physical presence, or as a means of controlling wireless phone transactions by using an affirmative action on the part of the owner. This provides a useful barrier against skimming attacks. The solution can also be used to generate certificates for eSignatures or transaction confirmation.

Bronze Prize

FreeAccess	TaggyTones	Italy
Description: TaggyTones are a totally new way of buying, distributing, gifting or exchanging ringtones or other digital content using a colorful card containing an RFID tag. By simply waving a mobile phone over a TaggyTones card, a ringtone or any other content on the TaggyTone card’s RFID tag is instantaneously transferred onto the phone via an NFC connection. By identifying ringtones and other digital content with a physical object that can be handled, bought, gifted or exchanged, TaggyTones has opened up a totally new range of business applications and marketing opportunities.

Jury Prize

MIT	Medi-SIM	USA
Description: Medi-SIM offers SIM-based tools that aim to improve public health, especially in developing countries and other areas where people lack access to health information systems. This project provides an application to help health workers follow standard medical guidelines and better manage patient records. A simplified version enables patients to learn more about and keep better track of their health. Medi-SIM uses the SIM Toolkit to reach users with low-end phones. In capable phones, Gemalto's SCWS and NFC features are also used to offer multimedia capabilities, more accurate patient identification, and more secure access to patient information.

Maxis Prize

St Petersburg University	SimUnity	Russia
Description: This project aims to provide the infrastructure to uniformly extend existing web-based social networks like MySpace and Facebook to the mobile environment and utilize different personalization services. Popular social networking sites are limited by being web-based and going mobile is the natural next step. SimUnity facilitates this by using an optionally extendable STK applet mobile layer, a middleware layer for communication between mobile and web environments and adapters for supported networks, and a personalization server to store profiles and perform searches.

MTN Prize

Ismea	SIMply Informed	France
Description: SIMply informed is an original application keeping people in touch with the information they need, wherever and whenever they need it. Once they have created an account online, users can configure personal widgets with the information they require. The application then sends a Java applet to their mobile phone, which connects to a server over the GPRS network and identifies the user via their SIM number. The server then updates the widgets on the phone depending on where the user is located, providing up-to-date local information such as weather reports for example. When the user buys a new phone, the settings remain active because the server still knows the SIM card number.

TIM Prize

Rhodes University	Mobi-Campus	South Africa
Description: Mobi-Campus is an integrated communication and access infrastructure for campus environments, which leverages mobile technologies with convergence on a mobile device. Mobi-Campus implements common IM protocols (SIMPLE, XMMP), and plugs into the various campus communication servers like email, virtual learning environments and LDAP. It also leverages contactless mobile technology to facilitate access provision to buildings and equipment. The system also uses contactless technology to retrieve context-specific information for the users of campus information kiosks.

Telefonica Prize

UAUAS Hagenberg Campus	SmartDoorBell	Austria
Description: SmartDoorBell is an access solution, which replaces a standard intercom system with an NFC reader that works with an ordinary mobile phone for use in family homes as well as large office complexes with multiple entrances. Information about the caller is sent via the NFC interface to a proxy, who packs the data into a TCP stream, and sends it to an Access Management Application (J2ME and STK) running on the homeowner’s handset. If the person chooses to open the door, the Access Management Application generates a TCP response stream to the proxy, which in turn, unlocks the door. SmartDoorBell can also be used remotely, and has the added benefit of obtaining additional information about the guest."
