What is Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing?

The main idea of mobile computing is that your device is always moving, you can use it virtually anywhere you are. This concept became widespread due to the appearance of smartphones and the computational advances that allowed the devices to become smaller and smaller.

Since ubiquitous computing is defined as almost ubiquitous computing in people's daily lives, almost everything is now done using a computer, from your clock to the refrigerator in your home, practically everything you find a computer, that is , Ubiquitous Computing is the present computation in everything, Mobile Computing is the computing that you can use it anywhere.

Maybe you forgot to mention Pervasive Computing as well, which makes it easier to get a better understanding.

Mobile Computing is a more popular term, for being part of our daily lives more often. It can be understood as access to information anywhere, anytime, and for that to happen there is a diversity of equipment such as cell phones, tablets, PDAS, etc.

The concept of Pervasive Computing implies that the means of computing are distributed in the environment in a way perceptible and imperceptible to the user. Basically Pervasive Computing is what defines it as invisible to the naked eye, but it is known that it is present in space.

As you can see in the figure below, the merging of these technologies results in Ubiquitous Computing that has as its main characteristics decentralization , diversity and connectivity . It basically comes from the integration of mobility with the distributed, imperceptible, intelligent and highly integrated presence of computers and their applications.
