“…While this is not a physical interaction (although in theory it could lead to one), it allows users to find someone with similar musical taste in a shared virtual interaction. Using the rich sensing capabilities of mobile phones, these context‐aware music recommender systems are able to take into consideration contextual conditions, such as the time and the user's mood or location, and the dynamics of urban space related to different times of day or different seasons that may influence the user's preferences at a particular moment (Braunhofer et al ., ; Åman et al ., ).…”

Mobile music listening has become an increasingly pervasive part of urban life. Yet it represents an area of enquiry with which urban studies scholars have yet to engage meaningfully. This essay considers the role of mobile music devices in creating new sonic, emotional and social interactions with and within the city. While academic work in this area has emphasized the use of these devices as a 'tuning out' of the physicality of the city, we suggest that they might also be used as part of a 'tuning in' that enhances the meaning and intensity of engagements with the city. In making this case, the essay considers two areas of academic enquiry that highlight the use of mobile music devices in intensified engagements with the city: first, recent writing on the sonic ecologies of the city that emphasize 'city sounds' as part of the urban experience; and secondly, recent advances in the field of urban computing that provide technologies for location-aware music exchanges and mediated social interactions. The essay emphasizes mobile music listening as one area of critical enquiry that can help develop our understanding of the ways in which the pervasiveness of mobile devices is recalibrating the experience of urban spatiality.

“…for crime mapping, reporting urban problems), education (learning in the field) (Sailer et al 2016), entertainment (e.g. music) (Åman, Liikkanen, and Hinkka 2015), insurance (Pham et al 2016), billing (Kozlovsky, Dvorak, and Krejcar 2016), and supporting production processes in factories (Jo et al 2017). While most LBS applications are developed primarily for supporting individual users, some researchers have started to develop LBS applications to support groups of users for collaborative task solving (Espeter and Raubal 2009), such as wayfinding and museum visiting (Reilly et al 2009;Lanir et al 2016).…”

We are now living in a mobile information era, which is fundamentally changing science and society. Location Based Services (LBS), which deliver information depending on the location of the (mobile) device and user, play a key role in this mobile information era. This article first reviews the ongoing evolution and research trends of the scientific field of LBS in the past years. To motivate further LBS research and stimulate collective efforts, this article then presents a series of key research challenges that are essential to advance the development of LBS, setting a research agenda for LBS to 'positively' shape the future of our mobile information society. These research challenges cover issues related to the core of LBS development (e.g. positioning, modelling, and communication), evaluation, and analysis of LBS-generated data, as well as social, ethical, and behavioural issues that rise as LBS enter into people's daily lives.

“…The information that was collected in this way-IP of user, search terms, link clickedis a product by itself, and the IP can be considered a virtual location. 6 Detailed mobile location traces that allow behavioral pattern analysis became available through the mobile devices' localization technologies and what Wilson [199] calls in 2012 users' conspicuous mobility, the willingness to share behavioral location and lifestyle information with services such as Foursquare and the Twitter mobile application. In distinguishing the two types of mobile applications, we see a similar effect as with the search pages.…”

“…Location awareness has also recently been shown to increase satisfaction in online-dating sites [ 100 ], although Abbas [ 1 ] in a study in 2011 still noted that the study participants’ willingness to share location information varied depending on the amount of trust within a relationship, as would be predicted given the value of location data. Location-based music services are the focus of Åman et al [ 6 ]. Location awareness today is so widely used that many research prototypes of the past today are widely used products and successful businesses.…”

Location-aware systems or location-based services: a survey with applications to CoViD-19 contact tracking

With the CoViD-19 pandemic, location awareness technologies have seen renewed interests due to the numerous contact tracking mobile application variants developed, deployed, and discussed. For some, location-aware applications are primarily a producer of geospatial Big Data required for vital geospatial analysis and visualization of the spread of the disease in a state of emergency. For others, comprehensive tracking of citizens constitutes a dangerous violation of fundamental rights. Commercial web-based location-aware applications both collect data and—through spatial analysis and connection to services—provide value to users. This value is what motivates users to share increasingly private and comprehensive data. The willingness of users to share data in return for services has been a key concern with web-based variants of the technology since the beginning. With a focus on two privacy preserving CoViD-19 contact tracking applications, this survey walks through the key steps of developing a privacy preserving context-aware application: from types of applications and business models, through architectures and privacy strategies, to representations.
