An international jury has chosen eight finalists for the Gemalto SIMagine contest from over 200 entries. The contest challenges developers to create new value-added mobile services using SIM card capabilities like Near Field Communication (NFC) and Smart Card Web Server (SCWS). The eight finalist projects cover areas like mobile healthcare monitoring, electronic ticketing, services for the visually impaired, home automation, and social networking. The finalists will present their projects at the Mobile World Congress for a chance to win over 60,000 euros in prizes.
Networking = Lots of Great Quality Customer ConversationsPaul W. Byrne
Paul Byrne discusses the importance of networking for sales acceleration. He emphasizes that networking requires having a focused strategy, being in the right places, and executing trust-building conversations through active listening, respect, credibility, and follow-through. By visualizing success, focusing one's efforts, and understanding others' perspectives, one can earn trust over time through quality interactions, positioning oneself as a trusted advisor and potentially gaining customers.
An Islamic SIM card that provides religious functionality like prayer times and Qibla direction is being showcased in Africa. The SIM allows users of basic phones to access features normally only available on specialized Islamic phones. It will be displayed at the Africa Com event in Cape Town. The creator believes there is strong demand in Africa and Asia where many people rely on basic phones and may not be able to afford newer smartphones with relevant apps. Mobile operators could use the SIM to attract customers and generate additional revenue through increased SMS usage.

The document discusses developing an Islamic SIM card application that would provide features useful for Muslims, such as notifying users of prayer times and banning incoming calls during prayers. It proposes a business model where the SIM application would be preinstalled at factories and generate revenue from royalties on SIM sales and small user fees shared with mobile operators and SIM vendors. The creator is seeking investment to conduct a pilot with a mobile operator and further develop the application, management team, support, and market reach. He provides contact information for interested parties to learn more.

The document discusses Ark Pet Foods' product lines and sales before and after a major flooding event. Before the flood, their top-selling products were Kitty Cat Kibble for cats (34% of sales) and Dromedary Dinner line for camels (15% of sales). After the flood, their best seller became Kitty Cat Kibble (60.1% of sales), while sales of products for unicorns and camels declined significantly.
The document discusses an opportunity to introduce Islamic functions into entry-level mobile phones through a SIM card. The SIM card would provide features like a Mecca compass, prayer notifications, an Islamic calendar, and the ability to ban incoming calls during prayer times. It notes that there are over 1.5 billion Muslims across many countries and languages, and over 800 million mobile phones, suggesting a large potential market. The SIM card solution could deliver value and benefits to customers through religious-focused features and also provide a marketing tool for mobile operators.
A Greek engineer has designed a new Islamic SIM card that allows users to track the direction of Mecca for prayer, receive accurate prayer times, convert between calendars, and automatically reject calls during prayers. It works on both regular phones and smartphones, filling a gap for Islamic-friendly services on basic phones. The SIM card is currently being reviewed by several mobile operators abroad.
This document proposes a Facebook-connected SIM card that provides real-time location tracking through cellular networks without requiring GPS, WiFi, or data plans. This would allow users to track friends and send emergency alerts while preserving battery life. The document outlines two marketing options: 1) A Facebook-integrated SIM tracker that shares location with Facebook friends. 2) A web-based SIM tracker that sends location via SMS or a web map. It argues this could generate advertising revenue for Facebook and MNOs while expanding into spin-off services like pilgrimage tracking or personal trackers.
A Greek engineer has invented an Islamic SIM card that allows users to perform several religious functions on their phones, such as tracking the direction of Mecca for prayer and banning calls during prayer times. The SIM card works on both regular and smartphones, and could be a big competitor in African and Asian markets. It was created to meet the needs of Muslim consumers by packing common features of Islamic phones directly into the SIM card.
The SIMagine contest awarded six innovative mobile application and startup projects. €150,000 in prizes were given out at the award ceremony in Rome.

This document provides an overview of the architecture and components of the Islamic SIM Card Application Server (ISCAS). The key components include a Linux OS, PostgreSQL or MySQL database, Apache Tomcat web server, and multiple Islamic SIM Card application boxes (ISCBOX) which handle request processing. The components are modular and can be distributed across physical or virtual servers for scalability. User requests from mobile phones are processed by first passing through the SMSC to the Tomcat server and then delegated to an available ISCBOX for execution. The document discusses sample configurations, licensing, and management of the system components.

• Mecca Compass, assisting subscribers in finding the direction to Mecca. It can be a normal text SMS or an MMS.
• Prayer Schedule, delivering the five prayer times (in text SMS) for the subscriber’s selected day and
auto-detected location, together with sunrise and sunset times.
• Ringtone Prayer Alarm notifies the user a few minutes prior to praying time.
• Prayer Mute Service, redirecting incoming calls to ensure that the mobile phone does not ring during
praying time.
• Calendar Converter to convert calendar dates between Gregorian and Arabic Calendars.
• Earth’s magnetic model has been incorporated in the ISS server. This produces accurate direction
calculations to Mecca.
• Terrain height geospatial Database connectivity gives accurate prayer time calculations.
• Official prayer time lists of Mosques (for large cities) can be imported into the service.
• Muslim Fastening start/break time for Ramadan along with prayer time lists.
A Japanese wedding gown was created using Compucon EOS embroidery software and a Barudan embroidery machine. The gown featured golden thread embroidery. The software and machine were used to design and produce the golden thread embroidery on the wedding gown.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The Getronics / Ingenico TT41 is a point-of-sale terminal that allows merchants to accept card payments. It features a color touchscreen, integrated card reader, and connectivity options including Ethernet, WiFi and cellular. The TT41 runs on Android operating system for flexibility and supports payment apps and services.
SMSVoiceIt is a SIM card application that transforms received SMS messages into voice messages that can be listened to through a mobile phone's hands-free system. This allows drivers to access SMS messages without having to look at their phone. It also helps visually impaired users and deaf people access SMS content. The application stores SMS messages on the SIM card and converts them to audio files using text-to-speech. Users can listen to messages and call senders. It also allows deaf people to send voice SMS messages to fixed lines. The application is designed to work on any mobile phone and help various groups access SMS messaging more easily.
The document discusses an Islamic SIM card application designed for Muslim users. Some key points:
- There are 1.5 billion Muslims globally who pray 5 times a day at precisely defined times that vary daily depending on location.
- The proposed Islamic SIM card would provide automated alerts for prayer times, a compass pointing to Mecca, and the ability to automatically silence incoming calls during prayers.
- It could be distributed widely through SIM cards to the billions of feature phones used in developing markets with prepaid plans.
- The founder has created prototypes and showcased the Islamic SIM card at several technology conferences. Distribution partnerships have been established but a first pilot with a mobile network operator is still pending to prove the business
Intellibox aims to roll out more than 1,500 ATM-style phone trade-in kiosks across the UK in the next 12 months to allow consumers to trade in their phones for cash or Amazon vouchers. About 40 kiosks are currently operating, but Intellibox plans to increase that number to 70 by March and over 1,500 total by the end of the year. The kiosks use patented technology to value devices and make payments within 5 minutes. Intellibox conducted a year-long trial of 40 kiosks and saw over 3,000 trades, aiming to increase annual turnover from £1 million to £10 million.
This document discusses the Getronics/Ingenico TT41 point-of-sale terminal developed between 1999-2000 that could handle multiple payment methods both online and offline, including smartcards, debit cards, and more in the Benelux region. It also integrated the Chipper smartcard eWallet from IBM that could hold up to 100 euro and be reloaded using public phones and an automated bank service. The TT41 terminal was sold by Barclays Bank to retailers with profitability coming from transaction fees charged based on sales volume processed by each terminal.
The Compucon USB antipiracy dongle is a tiny processing device that can execute code autonomously to help protect software applications. It functions like a miniature second PC connected to your desktop through a USB port.

[ 09.12.2013 ] Συνέντευξη Γ. Χατζοπούλου, εφευρέτη της
ισλαμικής κάρτας στο islam.gr
Προσπάθησα να φτιάξω μία συλλογή από προσιτές στο ευρύ κοινό ψηφιακές
ευκολίες για μουσουλμάνους χρήστες τηλεφωνίας, τις οποίες δεν προσέφεραν
σε κοινά τηλέφωνα
Aυτήν την στιγμή σε ποιές χώρες κυκλοφορεί η
κάρτα; έχετε κάποιους αριθμούς για την κυκλοφορία
της;
Δεν έχει κυκλοφορήσει ακόμα τον προϊόν στην αγορά.
Μετά το AfricaCOM 2013 και το
δημοσίευμα του Aljazeera γίνονται αυτή τη στιγμή
επαφές με εταιρείες κινητής τηλεφωνίας σε διάφορα
σημεία στην Ασία και στην Αφρική.
Eκτός από τις υπηρεσίες που αναφέρονται στα
ρεπορτάζ, σκέφτεστε εντάσσετε κι άλλες υπηρεσίες
μέσα στην Κάρτα αυτή;
• Ώρες προσευχής
στην Ελλάδα
• Χώροι λατρείας
Η ισλαμική κάρτα SIM εκτός όσων αναφέρθηκαν
δημοσίως, θα μπορεί να παρέχει voice recitals με
ισλαμικό περιεχόμενο ( ομιλίες λογίων, απαγγελίες από
το Κοράνι κοκ) τις οποίες οι χρήστες θα ακούν με το
πάτημα ενός κουμπιού στα απλά τους κινητά τηλέφωνα.
Σε περίπτωση που η εταιρεία κινητής τηλεφωνίας
παρέχει ήδη ισλαμικές υπηρεσίες SMS (legacy SMS
islamic services ), μπορούν αυτές να γίνουν
προσβάσιμες με ένα εύχρηστο interface (με μενού)
απευθείας από την SIM, χωρίς ο χρήστης να χρειάζεται
να
θυμάται
δύσχρηστους
κωδικούς

ενεργοποίησης/απενεργοποίησης όπως γίνεται σήμερα.
• Άρθρα
• Απόψεις
Ένα επίσης πολύ ενδιαφέρον πεδίο στο οποίο
αναζητούμε συμμαχίες και συνέργειες είναι η προσφορά
banking services for the Unbanked , ενδεχομένως
Shariah compliant, μέσα από την Ισλαμική κάρτα SIM.
Πάρα πολλοί χρήστες πχ στην Αφρική δεν έχουν
πρόσβαση σε banking accounts, αλλά το prepaid balance
του κινητού μπορεί να τους βοηθήσει να μεταφέρουν
χρήματα και να συναλλάσσονται.
Η τεχνολογία στην κάρτα SIM την ίδια επιτρέπει να
συνυπάρχουν διάφορες εφαρμογές, χωρίς η μία να
επηρεάζει τη λειτουργία της άλλης... (λέγεται sand
boxing...).
Σκέφτεστε να κάνετε καμία παρόμοια εφεύρεση; όχι
απαραίτητα για τους Μουσουλμάνους, απλώς να
βοηθά κάποιες ομάδες, π,χ. τυφλούς,
To θεματικό μοτίβο της κάρτας SIM με θρησκευτικό
περιεχόμενο μπορεί να επεκταθεί και σε άλλες
θρησκείες στην Ασία. Δεν μπορώ να σας πω
περισσότερα, γιατί γίνεται σχετική εξέλιξη πρωτοτύπων
για αξιολόγηση.
Βλέπουμε αρκετό ενδιαφέρον για την κάρτα σας στην
Αφρική-Ασία, πράγμα κατανοητό επειδή δεν είναι
δαπανηρή, όπως τα ακριβά κινητά, τι γίνεται όμως με
την Ευρώπη; υπάρχει ενδιαφέρον;
Η αγορά της Ευρώπης ήδη έχει καλυφθεί κατά σχεδόν
50% από smartphones - οπότε δεν θα ήταν εύκολο να
πεισθούν οι εταιρείες κινητής τηλεφωνίας να
ξεκινήσουν μία προώθηση μίας ισλαμικής κάρτας SIM
ιδιαίτερα στις πιο εύπορες βόρειες ζώνες και στην
Αγγλία. Στην Ευρώπη, υπάρχουν περίπου 55 εκατ.
μουσουλμάνοι μπροστά σε σχεδόν 1.5δις στην Ασία και
στην Αφρική. Οπότε έπρεπε να στραφώ αρχικά προς τo
μεγάλο πλήθος. Αν το εγχείρημα θελήσει να το
υποστηρίξει κάποια ευρωπαϊκή εταιρεία κινητής
τηλεφωνίας, θα μπορούσα εύκολα να στήσω την
υπηρεσία και σε ευρωπαϊκό έδαφος.
στην Ελλάδα ποιές
αντιμετωπίσετε;
είναι
οι
εντυπώσεις
που
Εξαιρετικά θετικές από τη μουσουλμανική κοινότητα.
Έλαβα από όλους συγχαρητήρια για την προσπάθεια, η

οποία όπως καταλαβαίνετε υπήρξε επίπονη, μακρόχρονη
και με σοβαρό ρίσκο - και οι άνθρωποι το κατανοούν
απόλυτα.
Προσπάθησα να φτιάξω μία συλλογή από προσιτές στο
ευρύ κοινό ψηφιακές ευκολίες για μουσουλμάνους
χρήστες τηλεφωνίας, τις οποίες δεν προσέφεραν σε
κοινά τηλέφωνα οι εταιρείες κινητής τηλεφωνίας.
Ελπίζω να βρουν το αποτέλεσμα χρήσιμο στην
καθημερινότητά τους οι χρήστες.
Μπορεί να κυκλοφορήσει εδώ; έγινε καμία επαφή
μαζί σας εδώ από κάποια εταιρεία ώστε να την
κυκλοφορήσει στην Ελλάδα;
Υπάρχουν στην Ελλάδα
πάνω από 1εκατ.
μουσουλμάνοι, από τους οποίους τουλάχιστον 600.000
άτομα είναι ενεργά θρησκευόμενοι. Συνεπακόλουθα,
υπάρχουν ανάμεσά τους περίπου 350.00 - 400.000
άνθρωποι με απλά κινητά τηλέφωνα που θα μπορούσαν
να χρησιμοποιήσουν αν το ήθελαν μία ισλαμική κάρτα
SIM. Μετά τα ενθαρρυντικά μηνύματα από
διακεκριμένους φορείς της μουσουλμανικής κοινότητας,
πράγματι υπέβαλα μία πρόταση στις ελληνικές εταιρείες
κινητής τηλεφωνίας για αξιολόγηση της ισλαμικής
κάρτας SIM. Περιμένω την πιθανή τους ανταπόκριση.
τεχνικά η λειτουργία της κάρτας χρειάζεται κάποια
βήματα από τις εταιρείες κινητής τηλεφωνίας;
Πρέπει να γίνει η παραγγελία και η προμήθεια των
καρτών σε κάποιον από τους διεθνείς κατασκευαστές
SIM, η φυσική διανομή στους χρήστες, και η
εγκατάσταση κάποιων υποστηρικτικών server H/Y εντός
του δικτύου κινητής τηλεφωνίας.
