Abstract :
Most of the reminder applications available
today in mobile phones are time and date based. In which
the user has to save the time and date of when he/she wants
to be reminded about in the reminder. If the reminder is
ON, the device continuously tries to match the device time
and date with the saved time and date, and the user will be
alerted if it is a match. But in many cases the user will not
be aware about the time and date, but he/she will be aware
about the place where he/she wants the reminder. In this
project, I have tried to design an application which gives
alert about the reminder when he/she enters into the
geographical region specified in the reminder. While a time
based alarm application alerts a user at a specified time, a
location based alert application alerts a user when he/she is
in the proximity of a specified location. Location alert
applications are quite useful when time of an event is
unknown.
