  1. Travel Companion – Life Cycle Architecture Milestone Jordan Hom Eric Kochhar Abhinav Jain Chris Baker Justin Quan Ben Higgins

  2. Operational Concepts • Real-time directions. • Point-of-interest (POI) list for use with directions. • Ability to expose POI list with others. • Other users’ POI lists can be combined with yours. • Optional reminders when close to a POI.

  3. Operational Concepts – User Community • Users will be people who often find themselves in need of directions on the go. • City residents who want to conveniently store addresses of friends, restaurants, movie theaters. • Travelers who want to explore a city.

  4. Operational Concepts – Environment • On the go, using an Internet-connected PocketPC with or without a GPS. • At home, through the web, managing your POI list and viewing lists of other users.

  5. Operational Concepts – Benefits Provided • When “in the field”: • Get directions (either to a POI or enter an address). • See what points-of-interest are nearby. • Be reminded when you are close to a POI. • Through the web: • Explore other POI lists and discover places you might want to visit.

  6. Operational Concepts – Does Not Do • Friend tracking. • Complex route planning (i.e., multiple destinations). • Service in areas without Internet access. • World-wide coverage. • Availability for anything other than PocketPC.

  7. System Requirements • PocketPC Application • Wireless Internet connection. • Global Positioning System (GPS). • Website • Internet connection.

  8. System Specification – PocketPC Application • Get directions • Select POI, or enter address. • Starting location based on GPS coordinates, or enter address. • Directions update themselves if you stray from path. • Reminders • User is alerted with a reminder they set if they get close to a POI.

  9. System Specification – Website • Manage basic account details. • Add/Update/Delete POI list: • Make a POI public or private. • Categorize a POI. • Add reminders for a POI. • Manage friends • Add friends to your account to view their POI list.

  10. System and Software Architecture • Products used: • Microsoft MapPoint Web Service • Microsoft Visual Studio .NET • Microsoft SQL Server • PocketPC Handheld • Languages/Technologies used: • SQL, C#, ASP • Web Service: XML, UDDI, SOAP, WSDL

  11. Architecture – System Overview

  12. Architecture – Database

  13. Architecture – Handheld UI

  14. Architecture – Data Flow

  15. Specification – PocketPC Application

  16. Specification – Pocket PC Application • Splash Screen • Travel Companion logo • Developers • Login Screen • Initial screen (post-splash) • Authenticate

  17. Specification – Pocket PC Application • General Settings • Application preferences • Store user/pass • Default screen (post-login) • Server synchronization

  18. Specification – Pocket PC Application • Reminder Settings • Default action after viewing reminder • Distance before triggering reminder • Reminder behavior

  19. Specification – Pocket PC Application • Map View • Map of area • Current location • Points of Interest • Route to destination • Next direction

  20. Specification – Pocket PC Application • Directions View • Full location-aware directions • New destination

  21. Specification – Pocket PC Application • Points of Interest • Personal and friends’ POIs • Comments • Directions

  22. Specification – Website

  23. Lifecycle Plan • Who will want it: • Travelers for sight seeing • Those often out-and-about • Tour guides/agencies • Support • For now, the 6 member team • Later, we don’t know

  24. Feasibility Rationale • Website can be done without problems, group has experience • Little difficultly creating database • Group experience is lacking: • High-load server (not a problem now) • Making a PocketPC application • Using Microsoft’s MapPoint Web Service • Biggest obstacles: wireless Internet connection and GPS

  25. Expansion options • Blogging service on website • Create extensive POI lists available for everyone • Restaurants • Landmarks • All businesses
