Developing a location detector Mobile APP
-
Hello guys.I recently traveled somewhere in a certain city and i discovered that their happens to be a lot of phone snatching especially to passengers in vehicles.What i discovered is that phones are snatched over the bus window without the passengers aware since most of them are busy texting on social media. A thought came to me of whether their could be an app which detects the current user location and sends an sms alert telling him to be carefully.Like a message warning him that the location you are now entering is insecure.Please take care of your phone :) .This would make sure that once users get that sms they can stop for some minutes what they are doing.Imagine loosing your expensive phone ?Its so sad.Can their be such a solution?

Yes but it would take quite a lot of work, and probably need access to a remote server which holds information on all the locations.
Here was my thought.Users can mark those locations that are insecure and would save the coordinates of those areas.So once the app detects you are in a certain area which is marked unsafe in our database,then an sms can be send .My major point of concern is the workability part. 1)How can such app communicate in a real time manner considering yo have to ensure the user's battery charge is not wasted? 2)Does it mean that with such an app it needs to be on everytime checking the user location against the locations in the db? Those are some of major points of concern am worried about.

Like I said before, it would take a lot of work. There are many things to consider in such an application, but that is the job of the designer.
Thats good sure.I well get you.I will follow up to see the complexities of such an app.Thank you for your response

If the passenger is texting, how can their phone be snatched? Does it just disappear out of their hands and they don't even realize it until they go to hit the Send button?

Basically what happens is the phone snatchers knock the bus windows so fast that by the time you get to hide your phone,they have already managed to open the window and grabbed the phone.They have mastered the art of opening the windows and this happens when the passengers are stuck in a traffic jam hence becoming an opportunity for the phone snatchers.

You don’t need separate platform-specific technologies to develop powerful, useful apps. You’d be surprised with what you can build with HTML5 and popular JavaScript libraries. This article is the first of a series in which I’ll develop a mobile app purely through HTML5 and JavaScript frameworks. The app will be called “Where I parked my car”, and we’ll build it with jQuery Mobile and Cordova (also known as PhoneGap).
