Example Use Cases for Contextual Data

Contextual data is used to provide you with more information about your users so you may return a more relevant, personalized experience via contextual menus. It also reduces the amount of data entry required by your mobile employees and customers, speeding adoption of your services. It can be something as simple as a zip code or login. Typically it is a combination of data, such as employee name, number, GPS coordinates, password, screen size and resolution, and device ID. For examples of how you can use contextual data to support your mobile Web applications, please see the use case examples below:

Mobile Marketing	Travel Services
Mobile eCommerce	Local Mobile Search
Mobile Business Services	Mobile Workforce Applications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does your software work?

A: 5o9® software functions as a Web server filter and a browser plug-in. For more detailed information, please visit How it Works.

Q: Does 5o9 ever see my users’ data?

A: 5o9 is client-server software, not a service or transcoding engine. We never see, intercept or forward your data. Your data privacy policies are between you and your mobile users.

Q: What data comes standard with your application?

Every business is different, so you determine what information you need to deliver to your Web applications. We simply provide the transport mechanism to get it there.

The 5o9® Context Manager mobile component accesses a few types of basic device data such as device type, OS and screen properties for troubleshooting purposes only. NO personally identifying or location data is ever transmitted. The diagnostic data may be used to confirm successful installation or when you or your support partner needs to troubleshoot service problems.

Q: Can I be sure no one else sees my mobile users’ data?

A: All clients and servers are paired to a fully qualified URL that front-ends your Web application. Data from your user’s client application cannot be sent to another company’s Web site.

Q: Do you support on-device branding?

A: In most cases, users will spend their time in the browser. Branding your application is replaced with your branded Web pages and services. If your strategy includes a full GUI client, or simply a home page icon, our browser plug-in design works in the background to ensure your on-device branding remains intact. Should you require a branded 5o9-CM browser plug-in, please contact us for costs and copyright notice requirements.

Q: What if I already have a mobile application and just need to add one or two pieces of data?

A: Not a problem. Many applications were built before GPS or other features were added to smartphones and Pocket PCs. The additional contextual data can go along for the ride when you make your sockets call. APIs are available for easy integration.

Q: Is your software expensive?

A: We have strived to keep our software affordable to most businesses and business models. Unlike a mobile service provider or mobile application development platform, 5o9® is a software company and does not require you to buy dedicated hardware or share transactional revenue. Please contact a 5o9® partner to determine the configuration and pricing that is right for your needs.

Q: Where can I buy your software?

A: 5o9 sells its software through a channel of Web application and mobile developers. We are happy to give you an online demonstration and if you do not have an internal development team, help you find the right development partner. If you already have a Web or mobile developer, and you would like them to learn more about 5o9®, please have them contact us at partners@5o9inc.com
