Figure 9.Location changes display
Change in location is found using the service and displayed in
the emulator as shown in Fig 9.On reverse geocoding
corresponding location name is obtained which can be displayed
on the mobile screen. Distance is calculated between the current
position and that in database and if found to be less than the
desired user range, then the task information is displayed back on
user screen.
VI. CONCLUSION
Future battle in the telecom industry is least expected to be
based on the hardware or the features like SMS and call cost, but
the battle would be based on the enhanced user friendly
applications provided by the service provider and adaptability
for such applications provided by device manufacturers. Setting
up of infrastructure for a location based service using the GPS
facility, to alert a user on reaching a desired location is emulated
using the Android 2.2 platform and the desired output is obtained
successfully. Thus this Location based intelligent observer
application using GPS tracking is developed so as to add value
and organize users’ task intelligently.
VII. FUTURE WORK
Invocation of web server and retrieving the relevant discount
information into a mobile device is in progress. Thus marching
towards building a complete location based service .In the same
way one control the other applications by means of GPS
locations. It will be very useful for security purposes and to
control the activities of the users in a certain area. For example
inside the educational buildings and office arenas entertainment
applications can be restricted to use.
