Ideas for the mobile project

1. GPS-based Travel Guide System

Users are able to travel around the particular place (ex: Great Architecture in Chicago) with Mobile GPS and receive historical/essential infomation by automatic voice guide (VOIP) system. The information datas could be also delivered by SMS/MMS only when closed to the specific building/shop/eating place. For the service, Bluetooth/GPS technologies make easier to send information data. And users are able to accept or deny pop-up guide messages in mobile wap page.

2. Floor Plan-based Guide System

Objective: Help people find a particular place based on FLOOR PLAN such as the main entrance/bathroom/stairs/elevator/museum shop...

Location (Where to use): A huge place ex) The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Users are able to download a floor plan application from its Kiosk(via IrDA/Bluetooth) or internet website. But I still have to figure out whether it is possible to track specific floor plan by using GPS.


3. Device Controller

General idea of how to access remote control application in mobile



Useful device to control on/off over mobile device for the project

my favorite mobile application


Mobile remote control is a quite interesting application to me although it was developed around 3-4 years ago. I don't think not many people use it as a handy application. But it opens up the potential market to engage ubiquitous home network system. I actually had a Samsung phone with that application in Korea and had lots of fun playing with it. When I felt hot or cold at the bar and eating place, I controlled air conditioner by using my phone. No one recognized I was the one who controlled it. It was a really practical app at that moment.

The technology in the application is quite simple. It uses irDA sensor to control like a typical remote controller. but it allows users to control tons of diffrent electronic devices such as TV, set top box, Karaoke, air purifier, air conditioner etc. Sometimes, I feel like Samsung mobile supports too many devices/ too much info for the controller. The idea of "controlling something" could go further by pursuing a useful and creative concept at the same time.

It could be fun to make an application with Bluetooth which has a wider range of communication by engaging the idea of a mobile controller.
