Software Development for Local Data Transfer for Mobile Applications using GPS and GPRS technology

摘要

The objective of this work is the design and development of a communications software system, using GPS and GPRS technologies. Technology advances arise new challenges for companies, and the need of connectivity of these companies increases. Package delivery, product testing, and control mobile technology systems in production and assembly lines are important aspects to be controlled in an enterprise. Using mobile communications technology and the appropriate devices and software, these issues can be achieved at a very low cost for a company. In a production center of a company, a motor vehicle can be equipped with sensors devices to report data to a gathering device. This data, along with the current coordinates obtained from the GPS service, can be transferred in real time using GPRS to an internet server for data storage of the variables sensed. It can also be used for tracking a vehicle. The GPS acquires the location and it is transferred to an Internet server to be stored in a database using the GPRS service and the project's communication software. This communication software maps the points captured, the exact location of the vehicle can be known even in as they occur. This paper resumes the design and implementation of the Communications Application Software Interface Module that use of GPS and GPRS services for reporting acquired data such as sensed values or global coordinates for the visualization of the remote variables sensed from the mobile elements using the Internet.
