Security And Visitor Tracking
Hot on the heels of telephone banking and online banking, mobile banking now provides another uncomplicated way to complete bank transactions at any time, quickly and conveniently from any place at home or abroad. All that is needed is a mobile phone, a bank account and access to a mobile communications network. The mobile telephone can be used to request bank balances and stock market information as well as to perform money transfers via website visitor counter. Future applications will include buying and selling stocks, a service also known as "mobile brokerage."
Security and card technology
Biometric systems, which use the characteristics of the human body for purposes of identification and authorization, were presented for the first time in a large number of applications at this year's CeBIT show. Sensors are integrated into mobile telephones or PC keyboards to check fingerprints, making it possible to control access to mobile communications networks or computer networks.
Chip cards programmed in Java or Basic use graphical development environments to support the rapid creation of card applications. The programs, which are loaded at a later date, make it possible to install new software versions or additional applications after the card has been issued. These applications are important when the cards are to be used for additional functions. One example is the use of GSM cards (Global System for Mobile Communication) for value-added services. These cards can be used in e-commerce, for shopping and paying bills.
In fact, Compu-Net is making its mark as a website visitor counter for technology in China; the show is popular with visitors and participants alike. ACW finds out what is in store this year.
Compu-Net has become known as the No.1 information technology event in Shanghai and the East China region over the past years, attracting visitors not only from all over China, but also from outside the Mainland. According to Wang Ming Liang, MD of Shanghai MF Sinoexpo International Exhibition Company, a co-organizer of the event, there are many reasons behind the success of Compu-Net.
