1. One Blue Cloud presents:
”librarize, a mobile app for library's
administration demo-deck”
2. OBC
Mobile – Cloud computing solutions
One Blue Cloud focuses on providing a mobile –
cloud computing platform for areas of the world
where mobile computing is a growth
opportunity . Typical solutions can be
developed for :
Education Health Government
3. Summary
Librarize is a module of the ”School Management
System” suite, a system created to modernize
schools administrative tools using mobile –
cloud computing.
Librarize is a mobile app that converts your smart
phone into a librarian and store results in the
cloud , providing a flexible, distributed low cost
solution for book management for schools.

6. Prototype: login
User login screen:
request username and
password for registered
users.
User id would be
provided by OBC
management system and
requested at school
administration.
7. Prototype: main menu
Main functionalities:
Issue a book
Renew a book issued before.
Reserve a book
Search for a book.
View book status.
Help topics.
Exit the app.
8. Books can be issued by
student id or book id.
Each book should have a
QR code.
When issuing a book by
book id, the student can use
the QR scanner of the
smartphone and
automatically fill the box.
Prototype: Issue a book
9. Prototype: renew a book
With book id the system
validates the status of a
certain book.
When clicking ”Renew
Book” button, if the
book isn't reserved,
another loan period
would be granted.
10. Prototype: Return a book
Just write or scan the
book id, return the book
to the returning place in
the library and click
”Return Book”.
The book status, if it
isn't reserved would
change to ”available”.
12. Prototype: search
Search functionallity allows the student to view
books status by id, title, student id or student
name.
In the case of a unique book id search, only one
book is displayed.
Information about status is shown. If loaned,
return date is displayed.
13. The business model explained
The observation that mobile phone is turning into
the preferred devices for computing is several
areas of the world give rise to an opportunity to
develop low-cost, light-weight applications that
combined with a cloud computing back-end
could lead to an innovation in developing and
deploying software solutions for administrative
and service production in countires with
developing economies.
14. Business opportunity
• PC’s will be bypassed by the Mobile to be the most widely accessible means
of computing due to the relative low unit cost of mobile devices and their
widespread acceptance and use
• Problem Area:
– Many business areas where software for administrative or service
production purposes today is developed for and running on PC’s will have to be
redesigned or reinvented for a new computing paradigm where mobile is the front
end (GUI and local processing) and Cloud computing is the backbone (storage and
tasks that demands more processing power)
• The business model is centered around finding areas where business
applications can be redesigned/reinvented/made viable for the first for the
mobile/cloud paradigm and then developing the solutions and serve the new
markets
15. Solution
One blue cloud – new solutions for mobile and cloud computing:
•
One blue Cloud will seek to identify areas of the world where the new
mobile – cloud computing paradigm will have the greatest impact, and then
develop new and innovative solutions for administrative and service
production purposes.
•
One Blue cloud will build on the strong growth of mobile devices, both
smart and non-smart phones and other low-cost mobile devices like tablets.
Coupled with storage and processing capacity from cloud computing it will
allow us to develop new solutions than can be deployed in an extremely cost-
effective way, even in countries with developing infrastructures and a low
level of computing maturity today
•
One blue cloud will first target solutions be monetized in large markets
where demand is huge, and the standards of living are growing.
16. Demo module for a school administrative
system (The Libralizer Prototype)
• Focus on School Administrative Systems/ Pedagogical tools for Schools
• Problem Area:
– Control and oversight over school books that are distributed as loans to students at
the beginning of the year and then brought back at the end of the year
• Prototype makes it possible to check out and check in books to students using
only a mobile phone with a low-res camera
• Once book gets scanned, the data, book id, verified student id are
automatically sorted in the cloud and accessible for the school authorities for
administrative and other purposes.
