The Forget-me-not project was one of the pioneering efforts in the area of context aware reminders. Forget-me-not employs a small PDA-like device that associates different items of interest with icons to help the person remember various tasks they need to attend to. ComMotion is a more recent example of a context-aware system, supporting reminders that utilize location as contextual information [19]. Using GPS technology for location-sensing, people could set reminders around certain locations, with given time constraints. When the person was near that location and the timing constraints were satisfied, they would be alerted with an audio alert. The Sulaweski framework discusses a spatial reminder service that uses GPS and infrared to approximate a persons location and delivers reminders accordingly. GPS itself provides restricted location sensing, only operating in outdoor regions where line of sight with multiple satellites is available, whereas most people spend their days largely indoors, and even while outdoors GPS may not be available in areas such as urban canyons. Studies conducted on university campuses typically use radio technology for location-sensing, requiring that beacons be placed in the environment, something that currently is not sufficiently available outside such settings. Place-Its is targeted at the Symbian Series 60 platform and was written using Java 2 Micro Edition(J2ME), with the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC 1.0) and Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP 2.0) APIs. The application contains a small portion of C++ code to access GSM cell tower information on the device.

All development and deployment was done on the Nokia 6600 phone, chosen for its large screen and good developer support.

REMINDER BASED ON THE USER'S LOCATION

The display of the system architecture and process model enable development and transfer of application from one operating system to another, which makes it a fully flexible solution. Additionally, this makes the application almost immortal since the mentioned processes can be easily transferred to all the past, present and future operating systems. The only changes are in the software code. An example of a developed application proves the authenticity and accuracy of the process model. The graphic interface and the design depend on the desires and priorities of the development team of this type of reminder, and this paper presents the forms and ideas in their basic form.

Location Based Services using Android (LBSOID)[2009]

Location Based Service (LBS) is a platform that provides information services based on the current or a known location, supported by the electronic map platform. The location information (latitude and longitude coordinates) of mobile end user can be obtained through the mobile communication network or the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) [3]. The research focusing on LBS is vast and a number of these services have been implemented andtested. Location Based Services (LBSs) provide personalized services to the subscribers based on their current position using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Geographic Information System (GIS) and Wireless Communication (WC) technologies. LBS offer modern world the tool for efficient management and continuous control. It is important to integrate the mobile computing technology and the GIS technology in order to meet the needs of LBS, which is considered one of the most promising applications of GIS.

Privacy-Aware Proximity Based Services[2009]

Proximity based services are a special class of LBS in which the service adaptation depends on the comparison between a given threshold value and the distance between a user and other (possibly moving) entities.

WIKIPEDIA

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Location-based_service The first LBS services were launched during 2000 by TeliaSonera in Sweden (friendfinder, yellow pages, houseposition, emergency call location etc.) and by EMT in Estonia (emergency call location, friend finder, TV game). TeliaSonera and EMT based their services on the Ericsson Mobile Positioning System (MPS) Other early LBS include friendzone, launched by swisscom in Switzerland in May 2001, using the technology of valis ltd. The service included friend finder, LBS dating and LBS games. The same service was launched later by Vodafone Germany, Orange Portugal and Pelephone in Israel. In May 2002, go2 and AT&T launched the first (US) mobile LBS local search application that used Automatic Location Identification (ALI) technologies mandated by the FCC. go2 users were able to use AT&Ts ALI to determine their location and search near that location to obtain a list of requested locations (stores, restaurants, etc.) ranked by proximity to the ALI provide by the AT&T wireless network. The ALI determined location was also used as a starting point for turn-by-turn directions. In 2010, location-based services power Mobile Local Search to enable the search and discovery of persons, places, and things within an identifiable space defined by distinct parameters. These parameters are evolving. Today they include social networks, individuals, cities, neighborhoods, landmarks, and actions that are relevant to the searcher's past, current, and future location. These parameters provide structure to vertically deep and horizontally broad data categories that can stand alone or are combined to form searchable directories.

Initially mobile phones were developed only for voice communication but now days the scenario has changed, voice communication is just one aspect of a mobile phone. There are other aspects which are major focus of interest. Two such major factors are web browser and GPS services. Both of these functionalities are already implemented but are only in the hands of manufacturers not in the hands of users because of proprietary issues, the system does not allow the user to access the mobile hardware directly. But now, after the release of android mobile phone a user can access the hardware directly and design customized native applications to develop Web and GPS enabled services and can program the other hardware components like camera etc. The LBS application can help user to find hospitals, school, gas filling station or any other facility of interest indicated by user within certain range. Just like a GPS device its location will also be updated as soon as user changes his/her position. After going through the surveying, it can be gathered that there is a huge scope of application development in mobile domain. Following the same notion, we can also develop application that can tackle Location positioning technologies Applications can be developed on Android platform of Open Handset Alliance led by Google. Google provides simulated environment and standard development kit for developing Android applications. Although this platform is very new and SDK provided is still in its nascent stage, a great number of mobile companies are queuing up to install it on their devices. We chose Android as it is parallel to IOS (supported by Apple) in terms of facilities it provide and is also open source.
