Embedded Automated Mobile Tracking & Security System

Abstract

Mobile devices are rapidly evolving beyond their original design specification. With the inclusion of innovative sensing and actuating facilities, the potential application space of these new devices is huge. The challenge now becomes harnessing the abilities' of these instruments in innovative ways. It is the aim of this paper to provide a unique service rich architecture integrating some of these novel sensing capabilities (i.e. GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope) to provide a potential "killer application" in the location and tracking space. Existing tracking systems in the mobile devices area are quite invasive for the user and labour intensive from a commercial perspective. The architecture proposed here is much more transparent, can be entirely automated and incorporates a Rich Internet Architecture (RIA) approach, a first for this type of scenario. *
