Načrtovanje in prototipiranje mobilne aplikacije z vgrajenimi mehanizmi za varovanje zasebnosti uporabnika

V sklopu magistrskega dela smo načrtovali in izdelali prototip mobilne aplikacije z vgrajenimi mehanizmi za varovanje zasebnosti uporabnika. Aplikacija bo omogočala prijavo na športne aktivnosti in vadbe, rezervacije igrišč in telovadb, pregled športnih aktivnosti v okolici, organizacije športnih aktivnosti, dodajanje novih ljudi s podobnimi interesi in pogovor z njimi. Pri tem bo po določenem času samodejno izbrisala podatke glede preteklega dogodka, na katerega smo bili prijavljeni. To bo posledično otežilo profiliranje uporabnikov. V teoretičnem delu smo najprej proučili potrebno literaturo za izdelavo mobilnih aplikacij, oblikovanje in načrtovanje uporabniške izkušnje, varovanje podatkov in programiranje. Poseben poudarek smo namenili varovanju podatkov in podatkovnim bazam ter kako upravljamo z njimi. Seveda pa smo se morali za delovanje tega posvetiti tudi širokemu področju programskih jezikov in razvojnih okolij, s katerimi smo kasneje operirali. Po zaključenem teoretičnem delu je sledil eksperimentalni del, kjer smo najprej ustvarili zgodbo naše aplikacije. Sledila je analiza konkurence in pa raziskava trga, na podlagi tega pa smo lahko naredili anketo, ki nam je kasneje pomagala ustvariti ciljne skupine in značilne uporabnike. Opravili smo tudi intervjuje s ciljnimi skupinami, nato pa je lahko sledilo načrtovanje in oblikovanje mobilne aplikacije. Pri načrtovanju smo dali poseben poudarek na varovanje podatkov, pri oblikovanju pa smo se držali vseh trenutnih grafičnih trendov. Sledila je izdelava prototipa, ki nam je zelo pomagala pri nadaljnjem programiranju in sestavljanju aplikacije. Ko je bila mobilna aplikacija narejena, smo naredili še strežnik za ločeno shranjevanje in brisanje baz podatkov. Zadnji korak našega dela je bilo prototipiranje in posvetovanje z morebitnimi končnimi uporabniki. Rezultati so nam pokazali, da je naš končni izdelek izpolnil uporabnikova pričakovanja in naredil premik naprej pri načinu varovanja podatkov. Izdelava kakovostne mobilne aplikacije je lahko zelo dolgotrajen in natančen proces, kjer ni prostora za površnost in nenatančnost.

• Title: Planning and prototyping mobile application with built-in user privacy mechanism

Abstract

As part of the master's thesis, we prepared and developed a mobile application with built-in user privacy mechanisms. This application will allow us to register for sport activities and exercises, booking playgrounds and gyms, review sports activities in the area, organize sports activities, add new people with similar interests and talk to them. After a certain amount of time, it will automatically delete the data regarding the past event to which we were registered. This will make it difficult to profile the users. In the theoretical part of the thesis, we first examined the necessary literature for the development of mobile applications, design and planning of user experience, data protection and programming. We placed special emphasis on data protection and databases, and how we manage them. Of course, we also had to focus on a wide range of programming languages and development environments with which we later operated. After completing the theoretical part, the experimental part followed, where we first created the story of our application. This was followed by a competition analysis and a market research, and on this basis, we were able to conduct a survey, which later helped us to create target groups and typical users. We also conducted interviews with target groups. This was followed by planning of the mobile application and designing of the mobile application. In planning, we placed special emphasis on data protection, in design we adhered to all current graphic trends. This was followed by the production of a prototype, which helped us a lot in further programming and assembling the application. Once the mobile application was finished, we developed a server to store and delete databases separately. The last step of our work was prototyping and consulting with potential end users. The results showed us that our final product met the user's expectations and made a move forward in data protection process. Creating a quality mobile application can be a very time consuming and accurate process where there is no room for superficiality and inaccuracy.
