| Summary: | Late attention by officers in charge to high
volumes of crimes and emergency cases can lead to an
increase of unsolved cases nationwide. In this paper, we
propose the use of Pull & Push Location Based Service model
in experiments of the implementation of Location Based
Service environment to lessen the problems faced by Police and
Fire Fighters in retrieving accurate information while
patrolling high risk area. The time taken and the accuracy of
information are problems normally faced by Police and Fire
Fighters in Emergency Case department. It is crucial for them
to get the right information at the right time to their walkie
talkie or mobile phones. We first proposed the usage of RSS as
the web services to provide feeds for the smart phone
application. Updates on crimes or emergency cases within the
users’ locations are sent upon users’ retrieval or push based on
the users’ locations. The application is developed by using
Eclipse IDE platform and tested using HTC Magic with
Android OS. The application flow starts by retrieving the
location position and information on emergency cases will then
be displayed according to date listed. The conceptual design
and architecture are designed for Pull and Push Location
Based Services. |
