Title

Location Based Diary

Goal

Develop a diary software service/app which considers spatial and temporal attributes

Description

We are used to electronic diaries which issue reminders based on time, however there are also occasions where the time element is not as important as the location. For example 'remind me to get some superglue next time I'm at the supermarket'. This doesn't have a strict temporal filter but a prompt next time you visit a store would be useful. This project will look to develop a service/application which allows the user to set both location and temporal triggers for reminders. This will involve using the user's location, map data for various feature types, and a basic ontology (e.g. Tesco, Sainsuburys, Aldi = all supermarkets). The application could be extended to notify when near friends, to consider mode of transport (walk, cycle, car - using Android API), and more advanced features such as modelling lines of sight and least cost paths rather than Euclidean distances.
