2.2. Long Distance Technique
To start a long distance communications by a significance difference from communications face-to-
face. At long distance communications of caller usually estimate about situation of situation one who
will in phone-call do receiver is working, or perhaps just come home from meeting, etc. And when success
caller phone, usually is often started with conversation asking about situation whats going on at receiver, for
example : “ You is residing in where ; “ What you do now ; “ You have the kindness to converse in this time
?”; in this way receiver situation can know by caller and will influence communications which underway.
Information sharing here often loses time because receiver has accepted phone-call.
In this time, receiver of mobile-phone can see phone-call number which is phoning it, and can take
decision, do will accept phone-call or not. When receiver recognize with caller, receiver can decide will
accept phone-call or not, but do not know how important discussion to happened
Some mobile-phone can group phone-call number, for example family group, VIP group, friend, friend
work or is other. But however, same arising out problem still : knowledge inexistence about receiver
situation and knowledge inexistence about how important him phone from caller.
Other Problem also arise : for example there is a family member which phoning non from his mobile-
phone, but from telephone-shop, so that number which emerge non family number, but unknown number.
While receiver have doormat his mobile-phone , can only accept phone-call of just family, others cannot
phone.
There is other example of where long distance communication use computer offer information about
situation of partner. For example using ICQ . Chatting wear Mirc or of yahoo messenger. ICQ is
tool internet informing whosoever user which is on- line at that moment, so that can be invited to
communicate.
3. PROTOTYPE CONTEXT-CALL USE WAP.
Context sharing in this time is one of the way of long distance communications can look like
communications of face-to-face. Prototype to be explained in this time is receiver
can arrange context which wish to be activated in this time. Pursuant to information of receiver context,
caller can decide does call remain to phone or not.
3.1. Scenario to motivate.
To motivate idea of our context-call we dedicate the following scenario, pursuant to 3 situation where
someone wish to phone others. a. Mike is friend work of Mary. Mike phone Mary
which is working. Mike invite Mary to drink after work. Mike phone Mary use context-call, Now
Mike get reciprocation “ I am meeting, dont distrub” At mobile-phone layer also there are 3
choice that is is first : call remain to phone ; both : message leaving word is; third : cancel
canceling to phone. Mike feel that he neednt to phone Mary directly in this time, hence Mica
leave word for Mary.
b. Harry is friend work other of Mary, see Mary misplace Figure at moment slid of meeting. Harry
in short order phone Mary use context-call, and Harry also get message “ I am meeting, dont
disturb”. But because this is important discussion, hence Harry remains calling Mary.
c. One day, Customer service from bank of Mary, phone Mary use context-call, he also get message
“I am meeting, dont disturb”. And get 3 choice. He realizes this non right time to phone Mary and
offer a new investment, so that he cancel to phone Mary.
By using phone-call standard, Mary given on to 2 choice when is meeting, that is turning off or turning
on phone-call. At example of b, Mary earn losing of very important phone-call or Mary disregard
imprecise 2 phone-call of its situation example of a and of c.
Clearly visible from mentioned scenario that information about context very is assisting both
parties. Sharing information put in the way of others to communications within reason like communications
of face-to-face, though only done with mobile-phone. By providing context to caller, hence caller can know
situation whats going on at receiver and caller also can decide to remain phone, or leave message or
cancel.
First appearance of application is : ask to receiver of caller, do wishing doormat of context_selection or
context_call, like Figure 1.
Figure 1. Choice at WAP.
3.2. Context_Selection Applikasi.
Context selector application is a application of WAP where receiver can doormat information to be
passed to caller. Receiver have choice, is doormat of context “ in this time” or “ not in this time”, like

Figure 2. Context-Selection at WAP.
Receiver is also allowed to give choice to enter context at different group. There is also a choice to fill
any text, if the receiver wants to give more specific information.
Then receiver submits his context use WAP- REQUEST to WAP server. At WAP server phone
number and its context in this time kept to database. If there is an old record at this phone number, hence
record old ones will in vanishing and changed with newly.
