Three things- Sensors, GPS and Wi-Fi, these are the
functionalities of the Smartphone which is used to log your every move. It will
figure out, where I go and how long I spend the time at particular place and
this information is stored locally in my iPhone or Smartphone.
No!!! It’s not unnecessary like you must be thinking. This technology
can be proved to be very useful for different class of people. Basically, with
viewpoint of family members, in which one is suffering from Alzheimer’s.
Moreover, you can analyse yourself that at the end of month, how much time you
spend at what place. This is the way to optimize your time management and
basically your living pattern. Now this application is available in the iPhone,
besides that if you are using android Smartphone you can also use it. Each places visited will be
pin pointed on map and you can see how much time you spent there. Alohar
mobile, see this innovation as blessings when one is suffering from some car
crash and at that time it will be easy to track whole thing and automatic
alerting emergency services.
Challenges for this kind of application to be developed are
about finding the perfect location where you visited. Using services like
Google maps also, it’s not so easy to get accuracy. They may use accelerometer
and compass to be more accurate. Moreover this application doesn’t drain down
the battery unlike other
applications working on basis of GPS. Developers
of this application say it is very difficult to track the exact place in the
dense city. But it is self trained application. Means if you feed once about the
location and its details then later on it will be able to track for all the
time. Humans!!! Unstoppable.
