OVERVIEW:
The main feature of Location tracking when Calling is to provide location tracking functionalities to Android devices using SMS. This application locates device by making device ring and get latitude and longitude of an Android device. Also the Location tracking when Calling have the capability of authentication to share the location information with the sender of SMS.
The Android application gives the opportunity to share location information with the users through SMS. In order to do that, the application receives each SMS, matches contents of SMS with predefined attention word. If attention word matches with the predefined word than application makes device ringing or get location details of device and acknowledges the user through SMS.
MOTIVATION:
As a result of technological progress we are facing an incredible variety of possibilities to communicate regardless of the distance. Smart phones provide a great choice of features that facilitate the life for the users as well they make it more comfortable.
Every day the features and capabilities of Mobiles are increasing surprisingly. For this reason we want to create an Android application which gives us the opportunity to improve our knowledge of Mobile developing. We find this project a great opportunity to combine a lot of technologies and languages in the same software system, and learn how to work in big projects as a team member. An important motivation for us is the challenge to solve all the problems that will arise while the project is developed. In addition, we will try to make the program portable, reliable, secure, stable, intuitive, etc.
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
A silent phone can be extremely tricky to find. If you're in the habit of losing a silent cell phone, you may wish to invest in a phone sensor, also known as a phone detector. The user has to follow tedious procedures to find his theft phone and ultimately user may not find his phone. This procedure is time consuming too.
