 ===== Idea ===== ===== Idea =====
 +This application should help workers at a  construction site who work with big gloves. Once they want to check something, it would be convenient by just shaking the phone to get the desired information instead of pushing those small keyboard buttons.
 +
 +The first idea was to pickup the phone N900 by shaking it. Unfortunately, we discovered that it not possible to pick up a phone call within another application - probably because security reasons.
 +
 +The other idea was to display the GPS coordinates, again by shaking the phone. However, we were coding in C, and it was really difficult to find the GPS coordinates without a change of location.
 +
 +Eventually, we just display the date, and we notify to user by a beep sound. However, we can use the shaking to trigger any action.

 ===== Detail Description ==== ===== Detail Description ====
  
-This application is developed for the constructors who work with big gloves. Once they want to check the location during work, it would be convenient by just shaking the phone to open the GPS function instead of pushing those small keyboard. +When this application is running, and the user shakes the phone, either up and down, or left to right, the phone/application is able to recognize the movement and triggers an action. Right now, it notifies the user by several beep sounds and displays the current date and time. 
 + 
 +Some people may shake more than the others. Inside the source code, there is a variable that contains a value which is the minimal shaking limit(describes how much the user has to shake). Our application is just a prototype that shows some functionality, and it is not an end-user application. For that reason, there is no user interface to change the shaking limit.
  
-First, the user need to choose this application. And under this application, when the user shake the phone, such as up and down, if the estimation of shake movement return true, then it will call the GPS function, and show the current location on the screen. If the user shake the phone again, and estimation of shake movement return true, it would turn off the GPS function.

 ===== Conclusion ===== ===== Conclusion =====
  
-Your group comments and thinkings of developing you project in maemo +What we have done so far is just prototype, we could not actually achieve all what we proposed in our plan but we were able to achieved shaking the mobile phone (i.e.N900) to display the date and time of the day to the construction workers and of course to notify them by a beep sound. 
-environment. + 
 +After experiencing the Maemo environment, we just feel that it's not as easy as Java. Also, we were not familiar with Maemo platform; this brings a lot of difficulties for the programming, developing, etc..
