We realized that even with the abundance of mobile and web applications presented in stores, it is quite difficult to find a tool that allows to plan a trip together from different devices, use this plan during travels even offline, and view and share its results in the end. But back then, it was only our humble opinion. The culture of traveling changed a lot during last two decades due to tech- nology advancement. By leaps and bounds Internet displaces television, radio and magazines as a travel information source, especially among young trav- elers. With so much information available, more and more people get used to organize their trips themselves rather than buying tours or packages from travel agencies. Everybody could get any information instantly, if they only had a smart device and Internet connection. GPS navigation allows smart- phone owners to find their location and any places much easier than with paper maps. Transportation, accommodation, bars and restaurants, attrac- tions, shops, excursions, events and just any random locations - all that can be found on the display of your smartphone or tablet. You don't need to use travel agencies anymore if you have a bit of time and savvy. The other thing is, that people not only consume information, they pro- duce it as well. Here comes the social networking. People like to share, and this statement is even stronger in the context of traveling. They share photos, news, locations, reviews. They share where they've been and what they'd like to visit. They are blogging about travels, discuss their experiences and give advices. All these factors led to a rapid growth of the offer and demand of travel applications in mobile stores. There is a big variety of travel apps for different platforms and different purposes, but some of them are too specific, some have poor interface, some are overcomplicated, some, on the contrary, lack functionality. As long as each user has different needs, there is still a lot of opportunities in this field. This work will try to find these opportunities and 1 Introduction realize them in "Coviator", mobile application for shared trip planning. This work consists of four chapters. First chapter is dedicated to analysis and research. In this chapter a little survey will be conducted, then we'll find out the main requirements for the application and analyze the existing alternatives. The architecture of application, communication protocols and user interface will be designed in the second chapter. The third chapter will include server and mobile client implementation details. In the last chapter, we'll try to test the app and apply modifications if needed. 2 Chapter 1 Research and analysis 1.1 Travelers research Before we could come up with goals and requirements and choose platform for application, it's useful to conduct at least a little research among potential users. In our case the potential users are people who travel. First of all we are interested in travelers who own smart devices, but travelers without aforesaid could be our potential users too. It was decided that the most appropriate respondents for this research could be found in travel communities. A little survey was published on several Czech, Russian and English speak- ing travel forums and social network groups. It was consisting of the following questions: • How do you usually plan your trip (look for places to see and then navigate to them)? (open question) • Do you use mobile applications for trip planning and navigation during your travels? (yes/no) • What operation system does your smartphone/tablet use (single choice, response options: iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Other (name)) • What mobile applications do you use? (open question) • What functions are important for you? (multiple choice, response op- tions: Orientation on map, Points of interest (from guides or other users), Custom maps/places, Layers for different types of places, Shared access, Offline map availability, Feedback (photos, reviews, visited/unvisited), Social interaction (be a part of community), Route planning (by foot, car, public transport, etc.), Web version (for planning), Other (name)) • Do you miss something in your applications and would like to add/improve? (open question) 3 1. Research and analysis Figure 1.1: Mobile operation systems share among survey respondents 64 users were participating in this survey. Almost all respondents (91%) use smart devices for their trips. Most of them responded that they use differ- ent Internet resources and guides for trip planning or listen to their friends' or locals' advices. Then they're making a list of places of interest and use Google Maps or another maps, navigation systems or even screenshots in their travels. A few respondents who don't use smart devices answered that they're using printed maps. The most popular operation system among respondents is Android (59%). They're also using iOS (31%), Windows Phone (5%) and some other platforms (5%)(figure 1.1)). According to this survey, the most popular applications are Google Maps and Google Maps Engine. More then a half respondents use at least one of them.

  • Iot Based Smart Home Assistant
    International Journal for Research in Engineering Application & Management (IJREAM) ISSN : 2454-9150 Vol-06, Issue-03, June 2020 IOT BASED SMART HOME ASSISTANT 1Saajan Kumar Jha, 2Nishit Jain, 3Mukund Badatiya, 4Dr. Vinayak Shinde 1,2,3Student, 4Head and Associate Professor, Computer Engineering, Shree L.R Tiwari College of Engineering, Mumbai, India, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract — The world is full of automation and the people living in this world are surrounded with automated systems. Industries, business sectors, even homes are being automated. Operating various home appliances conveniently along with saving energy are the prominent factors possessed by Smart Home. A quick increase is seen in people's needs in order to develop the social economy of appliances present in a house. If we look at the existing system, we have Google home and Amazon echo which provide functionalities such as switching on/off appliances remotely from anywhere. This paper primarily focuses on a smart home system which allows users to control any electrical appliance using their smart phone google assistant. Apart from this the system also helps in keeping a track on air quality, sound and light intensity, temperature and humidity of home. It also provides analysis of the aforesaid parameters using various graphical methods. It starts the appliance itself on detecting human motion and notifies the user about the same so in case if there is an intrusion the user will come to know about the same. It also takes care of user’s safety as it informs about gas leakage and fire detection preventing any major damage.

  • C a S E 216 G How Works O Thatruns Across Its Worldwide Data Centers
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The way the company manages information technology often goes unnoticed. But Google‘s unconventional approach to information management is both highly effective and highly efficient—and may be the way other organiza- tions deploy technology in the future. Here’s why. Google CASE 216 A D I S S E C TION GOOGLE How C A S E 2 1 6 Google BY DAVID F. CARR With his unruly hair dipping across his forehead, Douglas Merrill walks up to the lec- tern set up in a ballroom of the Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa, looking like a slightly rumpled university professor about to start a lecture. In fact, he is here on this April Worksmorning to talk about his work as director of internal technology for Google to a crowd of chief information officers gathered at a breakfast sponsored by local recruiting firm Phoenix Staffing. Google, the secretive, extraordinarily successful $6.1 billion global search engine company, is one of the most recognized brands in the world. Yet it selectively discusses its innovative information management infrastructure—which is based on one of the largest distributed computing/grid systems in the world. Merrill is about to give his audience a rare glimpse into the future according to Google, and explain the workings of the company and the computer systems behind it. For all the razzle-dazzle surrounding Google—everything from the press it gets for its bring-your-dog-to-work casual workplace, to its stock price, market share, dizzying array of beta product launches and its death-match competition with Microsoft—it must also solve more basic issues like billing, collection, reporting revenue, tracking projects, hiring contractors, recruiting and evaluating employees, and managing video- conferencing systems—in other words, common business problems.
