GEOSILENCE – LOCATION TRIGERRED DEVICE MUTING

Abstract

Mobile devices have become an integral part of human lifestyle. The convenience offered by mobile devices usage can’t be denied. However, there are growing concerns about the disturbances caused by usage of mobile devices. One of the concerns is the disturbances caused by ringing sound of mobile devices at places that require silence such as mosque, library, cinema, and meeting room. Mobile device owners often forget to turn on silence mode on their devices in these places. To overcome such problem, this paper proposes an auto-notification application for mobile device using geofencing technique. Geofencing technique is used to detect virtual boundary that have been preset around required places. When a user enters the particular place, the application will detect that the user’s mobile device has crossed the virtual boundary and will automatically notify the user to turn the silence mode on the device. The opposite process will happen when the user crosses the boundary to exit the place. The main advantage of the application is that it will remind mobile device users to mute their devices when they are entering places that require silence. Nearly everything around us holds significance, be it data, expensive items, land, people and/or animals. It is essential that we keep all that matters to us safe and secure. To employ the highest form of security, we want to keep track of all the significant things on our own. This gives rise to the need for the meantime tracking o anything which is highly valuable to us. Hence, GPS tracking is employed in this technological solution to keep track. Innovative technology, based on telematics and satellite positioning, is the subject of this study on geofencing. With the use of geofencing technology, users can create virtual boundaries in the context of the actual world. By automatically detecting when monitored mobile items enter or leave geographical areas that are encircled by a virtual fence, it aids in the surveillance of those areas. A geofence is a virtual barrier that is set up around a specific region of interest utilizing several technologies, including Wi-Fi, cellular mobile, RFID, and GPS. A specific radius area on the map can be specified by the user. If any entry or exit is made from that location, they will be updated in real time. This assures the asset's safety and security and provides a system for inspection to deter any unwanted activity.
