Abstract
Hoy en día, los teléfonos inteligentes forman parte de la vida de todo tipo de personas, desde los usuarios más jóvenes a los más adultos, y con objetivos diferentes, como pueden ser por cuestiones de trabajo, estudio, ocio o incluso seguridad. Debido al gran avance de las tecnologías y a los nuevos diseños de terminales ligeros e inalámbricos, cada vez son más las personas que utilizan el teléfono móvil o las tablets en lugar del ordenador, principalmente para el acceso a aplicaciones de ocio y estudio, así como para la navegación en Internet. De este modo, los mercados virtuales de estos teléfonos móviles inteligentes lanzan una gran variedad de aplicaciones destinadas a diferentes tipos de usuarios, con el propósito de conseguir un beneficio gracias a la descarga de dichas aplicaciones. Dicho beneficio puede ser directo, que consistiría en el cobro de la aplicación por cada descarga de la misma. O por otro lado, el beneficio puede ser indirecto, donde la aplicación puede ser gratuita o de coste muy bajo pero incluyendo publicidad, o simplemente que la aplicación proponga una idea interesante y bien desarrollada y aumente el prestigio de la empresa que la desarrolló. Siguiendo estos argumentos, y teniendo en cuenta el gran número de personas que utilizan los dispositivos iPhone y/o iPod, el presente trabajo muestra el desarrollo de una aplicación para dichos dispositivos. La aplicación está orientada a todas aquellas personas que se encuentran en un periodo de estudio del permiso de conducción de automóviles. Se ha desarrollado una aplicación con una interfaz sencilla y amigable, que permita a los usuarios aprender las normas de circulación con el fin de examinarse del test que demuestra que una persona es apta para continuar con las pruebas prácticas del permiso de conducción de automóviles. De este modo, el usuario de la aplicación puede evitar tener que desplazarse a la autoescuela, así como tener que estar en frente de un ordenador. Simplemente accediendo a la aplicación desde su teléfono móvil iPhone o desde su dispositivo iPod, podrá estudiar todos los temas teóricos que enseñan en las autoescuelas con la posibilidad de ver una breve descripción de cada una de ellas, así como un vídeo que orientará al usuario a entender el contenido de cada tema. Una vez aprendida la lección, se podrán realizar test relacionados con aquello que se ha estudiado de modo que el usuario de la aplicación estará preparado para realizar el examen teórico del permiso de conducción de automóviles. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
