Abstract:
In the past two decades, there is a wide deployment of mobile devices in a ubiquitous
environment, where users can access all the information on-the-fly. Context-aware
application is one of the components of a ubiquitous environment in which users can
sense their physical locations and adapt the given situations accordingly. There are
many context-aware applications in which mobile users can locate their places. One
of the recent in all is geo-tagging, in which users can utilize camera and GPS
functionality of mobile devices to tag location by taking images of that particular
location. There are many mobile platforms such as android platforms, which have
geo-tagging functionality in built.
Thus, in this project, an android-enabled mobile application ‘m-Tagging
recommender’ is proposed in order to assist those users who are habitual of
forgetting their personal belongings such as car keys, flash drives etc. By using this
application, a user can capture picture of certain assets and then tag geographically
using GPRS (General Packet Radio Service). Afterwards, they can keep track of
these assets at any place, at any time. For evaluation purposes, random participants
were selected for usability testing. Further, these participants were involved in
describing their experiences of this application.
