TSADA-MOBIMINDER: (A LOCATION BASED ALARM MOBILE REMINDER)

Existing location based alarm applications has inability to give information to user’s particular direction to a specified place of destination and doesn’t display a particular scenic spot from its current location going to the destination. With this problem, a location based alarm mobile reminder was developed. The application is implemented on Android based smart phones to provide services like providing routing information, helping find nearby hotels, restaurants and scenic spots and offer many advantages to the mobile users to retrieve the information about their current location and process that data to get more useful information near to their location. It reminds the user about the location when the user enters some predefined location. All the user needs to have is the mobile phone with android platform with version 4.0 and above, and then the user can select the destination and find the destination on the application. The main objective of the project is to develop a location based application that provides tourists with real time information for scenic spots and provides alarm to a specified place of destination. This mobile application service will act as assistance for the frequent travelers to visit new places around the City.


Introduction
A Location Based Service (LBS) is an information and entertainment service, accessible with mobile devices through the mobile network and utilizing the ability to make use of geographical position of the mobile device.This service can be used in a variety of contexts, such as health, work, and personal life.It include services to identify the location of a person or object, such as discovering the nearest banking cash machine or historical places and includes parcel tracking and vehicle tracking services.It has two major actions, which are obtained by the location of a user and utilizing this information to provide a service (Kushwaha, et al, 2011).Location-based services refer to a set of applications that exploit the knowledge of the geographical position of a mobile device in order to provide services based on that information.It provides the mobile clients personalized services according to their current location (Vanjire et al, 2014).According to Tzu-How- Chu et al (2011), GPS techniques are applied to provide guiding information and manage tourism destinations more effectively.GPS techniques are integrated using mobile devices to provide location-based guiding information as needed.The increasing demand for information at popular tourism destinations has driven tourism specialists to focus on finding better guiding solutions.
Proceeding of the 3 rd International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science (AICS2015), 12 -13 October 2015, Penang, MALAYSIA.(e-ISBN 978-967-0792-06-4).Organized by http://worldconferences.net 203 Guiding information services have become more important at popular tourism destinations.Location based alarm using GPS is an attempt to add an alarm facility for mobiles, based on the location of the device and to find the nearest places from the current location of the mobile device.The location based alarm gives the user an alert when he reaches his desired destination.Location based alarm is a GPS based alarm, If the alarm is set, it makes a sound and notification.It is detected within the user's defined range from the destination (Vasuki et al, 2014).
There are problems of existing location based alarm systems such that they do not inform the user in a particular direction or to a specified place of position.Although location based applications have been widely prototyped, there are few results regarding their impact on people, how they are used, how they change people's behavior, and what features influence usefulness the most (Priyanka Shah et al, 2012).There are also location based alarm that are for alarming purposes only but not in informative way like providing information through reminder and alarm.Existing location based alarm is designed only for passengers and travelers but does not advertise or promote the City's' tourist spots of any particular place through providing a reminder which is important for the Department of Tourism in contributing to the growth of the City's tourism.
The researchers conducted an interview with the Department of Tourism.They said that tourism is one of the most important factors for a city to be productive and progressive.This gave the researchers the idea to come up with an application which helps to promote different spots in the City through a reminder.
To address the existing problems, the researchers have developed a mobile application that allows the user to set a desired destination and be reminded upon the arrival on that certain location.This application also provides information about scenic and tourist spots around Cagayan de Oro City with real time guiding information.

Methodology
Designing the Mobile Application for Location Based Alarm   Figure 7 shows the "home page" of the application.This is the first page the user sees.This page has (2) two buttons -Set Alarm and Users Guide.The Set Alarm button provides the map where the user can set his desired destination, look for the nearest places and view guiding information from the application.The User's Guide button provides the instructions on how the user uses the application together with the legends of the map.

Evaluation of the Application
The researchers used the standard questionnaire for evaluating a system application.
Table 1.Result of the System Usability Scale Table 1 presents the results for system usability scale.Based on the data above, majority of the respondents strongly agree that the application is easy and simple to use.  2 shows the result of the functionality test on the survey.All 20 respondents agreed to all the questions on the survey questionnaire.All respondents agreed that the applications functionality was achieved.

A. Conclusion
Android provides a very nice platform for developing LBS applications.Location Based Services are those services which provide information which is accessible with mobile devices through the mobile network.
The main goal of this study is to develop a mobile application that allows the user to set desired destination and be reminded upon the arrival on that certain location and provides information about scenic and tourist spots the user had passed through around Cagayan de Oro City with real time guiding information.After everything is done, it is then concluded that with the development of Tsada-MobiMinder application, tourists are now guided using their android mobile phones as a tool.Users can easily monitor their current location since some of the tourists are not familiar with all the places around Cagayan de Oro.So by installing and using this application, users are now aided and guided through all the places around the City.

B. Recommendations
This chapter contains recommendations with regards to the study of Tsada-MobiMinder in an Android Application.1.To fully utilize the application without hindrances, resolve the accuracy issue must be resolved.The systems are not always updated, so we the researchers do not know when a road has been closed or when a new road has been opened.The updating comes across as a major hindrance.
2. The problem of internet connectivity must be resolved.GPS does not provide accurate information about the users' location when the internet connection is slow.
3. The exact calculation must be given in providing the complete detail of a certain location when tapping the Information.
4. This application must save all the data of the map after the request, so that if the user will lose or turnoff his Internet connection the last transaction between this application with the Google Maps will be available and ready to use by the users for his destination.
