is like a
RSS-reader based on gps localization.
Thanks
to AGPS or GPS
coordinates provides by cellular, guGPS Client can comunicate with
any server that offer any type of services based on GPS localization.
guGPS run on symbian uiq
Everyone
can make a
server that offer a service throght guGPS, thanks to standard
tecnology like http, xml etc.
I
explain project thru very simplified example:
WebMaster
John read and
implement a service by using requirements found in guGPS sourceforge
project.
John
want to send a
localized list of restaurant basing on user coordinates.
User
throught guGPS (by
http connection) connects to John url,
User
request “locale”
list of a restaurant: guGPS in hidden mode send to John server the
coordinates that aid John server to send a little and localizated
list of a restaurant to the client.
Then
if the user
activate the restaurant list (called restaurant feed, that contain
info about restaurant like name, description, image etc etc.), guGPS
in background retrieve every period actual coordinates in order to
matching it with all restaurants coordinates (contained in the
restaurant feed); if matching is ok then the user is called by guGPS
thru pop-up or audio message, and then detailed matched restaurant
info is displayed.
