She is one of the well-known entrepreneurs in Singapore. :-) I personally admire her a lot.
Strongly recommend people apply. :-)

可惜这个广告好像没有被大家注意到。yiping说目前为止她只收到了印度、菲律宾等国朋友的简历，说明咱们华新的朋友对她的公司没有啥兴趣啊。。。

A某对mobile领域也是略有研究的。。。

不过要撑过这段时间而继续能够拿到投资，现在这个时候不容易啊。

For certain good technopreneurs, money is never an issue. In fact, VCs and Angel Investors in Singapore are craving for good projects and good team, and therefore will compete among each other when they see projects from good entrepreneurs, like Yiping's. :)

HNL empowers users the ability to visualize using existing mobile handsets: where I am, who’s around me, what relationship we have with each other, where is the nearest Starbucks or the location of my car keys?

looks like a location-based service integrating standard features (for buyers to locate a business and for sellers to advertise their business) and social networking elements (interesting. with social networking sites sharing their contact resources it is not only doable but also scalable, though privacy can be a hurdle)


HNL provides patented technology and services for mobile devices to allow users to precisely visualize their environment using a mobile handset. HNL revolutionizes the way we socialize, communicate, navigate and interact with objects within our physical surroundings.

The word "visualize" has been mentioned twice in the short description. On the website one of the key products is "Pixie engine", apparently linked to visual representation. When I envision about these sort of products the best picture could be a map with dynamic dots and circles indicating people and objects' whereabouts. I believe they have done something better to justify the patent.


Most powerful aspect is that HNL's technology works indoors and outdoors without the need for the internet, cell service or GPS.

- this is the most powerful, also most incomprehensable bit. location service without Internet, cell service or GPS ... Is there any other means to locate things?

不过我还是不看好这个project。个人感觉。

1）花俏的东西年轻人用得多，其实亚洲年轻人用的最多，但是怎样盈利呢？也许他/她（？）有想法，可我看不出盈利模式在哪里。
2）隐私问题，还是很严肃的。很多人都会因为这个不用你的东西。
3）技术问题。所谓的不用internet，不用gps之类的东西都是一个噱头，别人真明白了系统的局限性之后还有多少人会用？所以我坚决觉得噱头只是忽悠投资人的。。嘿嘿。。
4）如果大家都能手机上网了，都有gps了，这个噱头就多了一个能看到周围有谁之类的东东，介于隐私问题，看不出比起普通的系统有什么好处。

还有。。google的手机系统现在的application都是开源免费的。。如果手机软件收钱的话，估计很多人都会慢慢不用了。。开源免费已经是趋势了..

1) 只要有足够多用户，就算没有盈利，卖个好价钱应该不难。

2）同意，隐私是这类服务所要解决的很大问题-很少有人愿意透漏自己的位置给别人。

3）下面已经提到了，一直在困惑怎样何以做到不用internet不用gps不用cell service来定位的。。这三种似乎应经包括了所有可能的途径。应该是个噱头。

4)我想如果只是像你说的那样，将social network和google map mash-up起来，应该不足以吸引到funding吧。毕竟两个都是开源的，竞争对手很容易复制。希望是另有核心的东西我们没有想到的。尤其是那个pixie engine，很有兴趣知道是什么东东。

基于手机的location-based service已经被炒了一阵又一阵，不过看一下android和iphone, 可用性已经比过去强过不要太多。数据服务的资费也已经到了可以接受的程度。这些主要的制约因素解决了，接下来几年LBS应该有很好的机会。至于商业模式，应该是靠广告吧。Google可以提供map service和广告平台, 而广告可以投放在third-party开发的应用上，比如HNL的服务，然后大家用adsense类似的方式进行利润分成。
