Introduction The opportunity exists to enable visitors to locate points of interest in metropolitan areas. Our vision is to create a system that will allow users the ability to locate restaurants, stores, parks, and other interesting places. The primary customer(s) of the mobile concierge system would be frequent travelers, tourists, and visitors.
But what will it do… • Locate you • Suggest points of interest based on your inputs • Locate said points of interest • Provide expert reviews • Make reservations for hotels and restaurants • Purchase tickets for theaters, movies, sports events, etc.
Needs Analysis:Research Maps • TomTom personal navigation • Garmin • Mapquest Travel Guides • Frommer’s • AAA • Zagat Survey Competition • Mobile Food Guide • American Express Centurion Service • Google Search • Mio DigiWalker H610 • CitySearch
Stakeholder Requirements • Visitors • Provide a response in less than 10 seconds • Must be a mobile and compact service • Provide directions to the location • Allow users to make reservations • Manufacturers • Use standardized components (interchangeability) • Utilize tested and previously implemented technology • Maintenance • Self Diagnostic • 99.9% availability. • Regulatory Bodies • Conform to all regulations at each level of government. • Mobile Service Provider • The system must conform to TIA/EIA networking, 802.11x, standards
Acceptance Criteria Customers will be able to • Locate restaurants, theaters, stores, parks, and other interesting places. • Purchase or make reservations for said services. • Have 99% coverage in major U.S. metropolitan areas.
Alternate Concepts • Kiosk • Cell Phone Add-in • PDA/Travel Device • Car Navigation System
