, Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The present invention relates to a system for rapidly obtaining an address or destination. The present invention more particularly relates to a system for tracking travel destination when user arrives at or near the destination.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
It is really difficult to orient oneself in a strange, unknown city, specifically in a big city, the size of which makes one feel lost upon merely coming into it. Finding and directing oneself to addresses which are known or sought is practically impossible for a new arrival or someone with little knowledge of the city's streets without frequently asking directions from passersby, which is not very desirable.
It is possible to reliably locate any address in the city from any point in the city, whether known or unknown, and, furthermore, by a graphical method which is displayed in very continuous and consecutive form to orient oneself and identify the point sought in a logical and very perceptive manner.
With the help of GPS system, a user can provide travel route information associated with a destination. Prior art systems do not provide GPS based systems for tracking location and destination of the user. GPS tracking helps to maintain control in performing customer service, it is low cost, easy to use services and useful for security purposes and is compatible with mobile devices. The present invention is a GPS based system for tracking travel destination when user arrives at or near the destination.
GPS tracking system is a simple signal receiving and sending technology in which data about location, overall GPS status and other details are shared through a server and Server decodes it and presents it to the user in detailed manner.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION:
An object of the present invention is to enhance quality and / or satisfaction of a route guide service using a location - based service.
Another object of the present invention is to provide GPS based system for tracking travel destination when user arrives at or near the destination.
Other objects and benefits of the present invention will be more apparent from the following description, which is not intended to bind the scope of the present invention.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
Accordingly, a GPS based system for tracking travel destination is disclosed. A GPS based system for tracking travel destination comprising of;
a. Taking all the registration information of the user as per his/her requirements;
b. Storing the information of the user and his/her destined place in the database server;
c. transmits the information to the GPS tracking server over internet via cellular network (GPRS) of the SIM card of user;
d. Sending maps to the user for retrieving the destination information;
e. Searching desired destination by the user with the help of maps; and
f. Locating the desired destination by user.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING:
Fig 1 shows flowchart for a system for GPS based system for tracking travel destination.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION:
The present invention is a GPS based system for tracking travel destination when user arrives at or near the destination. The present invention enhances quality and / or satisfaction of a route guide service using a location - based service.
In one embodiment, the GPS tracking device transmits location information and other details depending on the implementation; for example in a Vehicle Tracking System - TMVTS it also transmits details like vehicle speed and engine status (running or parked). The device transmits these information to the GPS tracking server over internet via cellular network (GPRS) of the SIM card installed in the device.
The tracking server receiving location and other information at regular intervals (usually in seconds) captures location information and other details to plot it in a digital map (usually Google maps) to show near real-time information provided by the device to the end user tracking the device remotely.
In another embodiment, a GPS tracking system is a combination of two key components that includes 1. A GPS tracking device (including an active SIM card) 2. A GPS tracking software (or GPS tracking service). The GPS tracking device transmits location information and other details depending on the implementation. The device transmits these information to the GPS tracking server over internet via cellular network (GPRS) of the SIM card installed in the device.
In another embodiment, a GPS based system for tracking travel destination comprising of;
g. Taking all the registration information of the user as per his/her requirements;
h. Storing the information of the user and his/her destined place in the database server;
i. transmits the information to the GPS tracking server over internet via cellular network (GPRS) of the SIM card of user;
j. Sending maps to the user for retrieving the destination information;
k. Searching desired destination by the user with the help of maps; and
l. Locating the desired destination by user.
In another embodiment, the tracking server receives location and other information and captures location information and other details to plot it in Google map to show near information provided by the server to the end user tracking the device remotely. A traveler/user who wish to travel to a desired location enters the address of the destination in the database. If user types certain keywords, that information in the database server is reflected in front of the user. The information is stored in the memory of the database server, that information contains all the street, road information in that place. The map of the location is sent to the user through which he/she can easily locate the place. The traveler is informed where the desired zone is located with respect -to his present location and also identifies the zone number of the desired zone. The maps include a detailed street map of the zone and generalized information on how to get to the area from the traveler's present location. The generalized information can contain information such as the means of public transportation which pass near the desired location and information regarding possible road routes to the desired location.
Signboards also helps the traveler in the unknown city for reaching to a particular destination. The signboards also indicate the ascending or descending direction of adjacent street addresses.
In another embodiment, the route on map is followed by user and user can search the descending or ascending numbers until arriving to the desired location. Signboard also shows the map of the portion of the entire zone which helps the traveler to examine various portions. The location information address, road address, street no, etc is reflected on the map and signboard also. Some direction arrows such as ascending and descending arrows are also present on the signboard which helps to identify the exact direction to the user.
Along with the map of the zone, the database server issues a general map of the city subdivided into zones, with mention of streets, districts, plazas, etc. In order to provide a more specific overall view and in which there are mentioned the partial indications in order to direct the search towards the specific zone desired, being oriented by the general map and directed by the partial zone map in conjunction with the signboards. It is provided with a map of the zone they are located in. The traveler can easily find his way to his final destination. The boards are attached to a building or on trees.
