Tiivistelmä
In this thesis, the author aims to find a way to solve the problem of running out of battery with electronic devices such as mobile phones, wireless headphones, and other electronic devices when people are outdoors.
The author is researching whether it is a potential market to implement the power bank sharing project in Tampere, Finland. With the research question, the author introduces the topic's background, what a power bank is, what is the power bank sharing project, and as well how it works.
Furthermore, the author observes the existing charging situation in Tampere's public places. The author uses the quantitative research method by surveying two data samples. One is Chinese students studying in the city of Tampere, and the other one is Finnish students and international students who live in or have traveled to the city of Tampere.
By collecting the survey data, the survey results show that people use their phones frequently in daily life and need enough battery power with the phones or other electronic devices outdoors. Most people meet the drained battery situation when they are outdoors, and most people own a power bank, meaning there is a demand for charging the electronic devices when they are on the go. However, people do not like to carry the power bank or charger on the go because it is not convenient. People have the expectations to recharge the phone without taking a charger or power bank.
As a result, it is a potential market to implement Tampere's power bank sharing project. If the project works well, people will not worry about the battery drainage of their mobile phones and other devices when they are outdoors.
