PLACE-ITS

This is a simple application, with the mobile phone as a platform, permitted the integration of location-based reminders(LBR) into peoples’ daily practice.The whole idea of Place-its, is the use of a simple, intuitively appealing method for deciding when to deliver a reminder for a location: deliver it when the user enters or exits some distance threshold (a geofence) around the location.

how it works!

The three components to a Place-It reminder note are the trigger, text, and place. The trigger identifies whether the reminder should be signaled upon arrival or departure of the associated place( this is previously defined as a selected location to receive messages). The text is the message associated with the note.

platform used!

Place-Its uses the Symbian Series 60 platform and has been 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.
