| E-Commerce | Geolocation: Marketing Tool or Invasion of Privacy| | | Abstract Do you know about the new marketing tool called geolocation? Companies are using it to drum up new business. With its rise in popularity and the growing number of smartphones in the United States, privacy and the threat of criminal activity are on the minds of lawmakers. What devices are equipped with geolocation, digitally storing records of our movements? How have social networks increased then

2.1 ARCHITECTURE OF A GEOLOCATION SYSTEM An example of geolocation system architecture [KOS00] is shown in Figure. As we said earlier, in order to fix a call the subscriber we are calling must be located accurately. A geolocation service provider provides location information and location aware services to subscribers. Upon a request from a subscriber for location

recorded, processed, and monitored. By simply downloading the application to their mobile device or visiting our website our potential customer can place an order and then be provided at least two locations closest to them for pick up thanks to the Geolocation API. This is the ability to trace the location of the device using the application - it’s convenient, it’s fast, and it’s becoming a more common alternative to ordering upon arriving, especially when the order is large. The business could see

A number of different wireless technilogies have been developed for inddor localisation like Infra Red , Ultra Sound , RFID , WLAN, Bluetooth etc.Before the various positioning systems are discussed, we examine a few of the wireless localisation positioning algorithms developed to inproe the accuracy of localisation. There are four main techniques for indoor location estimation:triangulatio,fingerprinting,dead reckoning and proximity sensing. Triangulation Based on the information of coverage area

— This paper describes about Smartphone application which will be able to track salesman 's location in real time. Though Smartphone can be used to track salesman, but tracking salesman is different from other as salesman generally work for 8-10 hours daily travelling all day long, the battery running for such a long time is not easy. This salesman tracking system will be able to track salesman for a long time without draining his battery. The manager would be able to get detail about location of

Abstract— The proliferation of Location Based Services (LBSs) and Geo Social Networks (GSNs) significantly increase the exposure risks of location information leading to leakage of sensitive information. Location privacy preserving methods are designed to provide a specified level of privacy based on some pre-defined privacy guarantees such as k-anonymity and e-differential privacy. In certain situations, we note that users would need different privacy protection levels based on their relationships

Transportation act as important part in our life, the people can be connected from place to place but it is still complicated to track the vehicle. (Sumit et Ajila,2015) The first implementation for vehicle tracking system was in the shipping industry because it is a vital need to know where each vessel was at any given time. These days, however, with different types of technology growing at a wide space, tracking and display vehicle locations in real time uses automated vehicle tracking system.

Geolocation is a contemporary technology that has evolved to become something significantly important in our lives. "A geolocation system is an information technology solution that ascertains the location of an object in the physical (geo-spatial) or virtual (Internet) environment.” (ISACA, 2011) In the past two decades, there has been an abundance of debates whether this comprehensive technology is disadvantageous or beneficial. Despite its importance and influence in the modern time, just like

People’s personal and sensitive information such as medical records, court records, financial records and geolocation information should be protected and held confidential. Today manufacturer of smartphone embedded beacon in their device which transmits their customer location. The location data collected are notably used as part of providing services or for

Abstract In this term paper will talk about Mobile Computing and Social Networks and how they totally work. It will assess the strength and efficiency, mobile-based applications provide to capture geolocation data and customer information, and quickly upload to a processing server without users having to employ a desktop system. It will evaluate the benefits realized by consumers because of the ability to gain access to their own data via mobile applications. It will analyze the challenges of evolving
