A System for detecting the Stray of Objects within User-defined Region using Location-Based Services

Abstract

There are many applications using LBS such as navigations, location tracking, the whereabouts of a friend or employee. Most of these applications have the feature of active service mechanism. In this paper, we propose a system for sensing the stray of any objects within user-specified region as passive service mechanism. The proposed system has been initially authenticated the target objects and then matched between smartphone and a target object using LBS in smartphones. After a period of time, if the object has been break away from the specified boundary region, it is that the smartphone detects the straying status of the object. This system presents a virtual barrier such as a geofence. Therefore, the proposed mechanism will can be used of many applications such as anti-theft/anti-lost of any objects, preventing of stray children. Especially, it will be more opportunities combining with active service mechanism.

Continuous Space Estimation: Increasing WiFi-Based Indoor Localization Resolution without Increasing the Site-Survey Effort

“…They have also found that navigation was the most popular motivation behind LBSs (46%). However, besides the classic navigation, the use of LBSs allows for applications in very different areas: social networking [ 2 ], healthcare [ 3 , 4 ], guidance in museums or public buildings [ 5 ], security [ 6 ], intelligent transportation systems [ 7 ], logistics [ 8 ], etc.…”
