Software Development for Local Data Transfer for Mobile Applications Using GPS and GPRS Technology

Abstract

The objective of this work is the design and development of a communications sofhare system, using GPS and GPRS technologies. Technology advances arise new challenges for companies, and the need of connectivz@ of these companies increases. Package delivery, product testing, and control mobile technology systems in production and assembly lines are important aspects to be controlled in an enterprise. Using mobile communications technology and the appropriate devices and software, these issues can be achieved at a very low cost for a company. In a production center of a company, a motor vehicle can be equipped with sensors devices to report data to a gathering device. This data, along with the current coordinates obtained $-om the GPS service, can be transferred in real time using GPRS to an internet sewer for data storage of the variables sensed. It can also be used for tracking a vehicle. The GPS acquires the location and if is transferred to an Internet sewer to be stored in a database using the GPRS sewice and the project S communication software. This communicatzon software maps the points captured, the exact location of the vehicle can be known even in as they occur. This paper resumes the design amd implementation of the Communications Application Soflare Interface Module that use of GPS and GPRS services for reporting acquired data such as sensed values or global coordinates for the visualization of the remote variables sensed fiom the mobile elements using the Internet.
