碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 資訊科學與工程學系所 === 101 === Recently, due to the convenience of mobile devices and the rapid development of mobile applications, they will gradually replace the traditional laptop and desktop computers and become a new generation of information carrier. As for the social welfare organizations, they should try to increase income and decrease expenditure more than other enterprises. Therefore, the promptness and the transparency of the information delivery have become more important to them. In this article, I am going to apply the Android’s smart mobile devices to TFCF’s mobile application platform for location-based messages. Through this platform, the users can look up the services, the immediate activities and geographic information which TFCF provides. With the mobile positioning function, the users can obtain the information nearby and spends less time on searching. The development of the mobile web page can improve the complexity of cross-platform development. To the social welfare organizations, the donation from the public is one of the important resources to continue their services. However, the way of donation through the printing bar code will cause the extra expenditure. The design provides online information relating to the fundraising and the materials needed and produces the electronic bar code through the mobile device which will increase the transparency of the information and reduce the unnecessary resources waste. With the advantage of the QR Code, it will increase the ability to identify the bar codes and the storage of the data. The electronic bar codes will improve the problems of failing to identify the damaged paper bar code and long term spending on printing and mailing.
