Idea

Shake the phone to check the GPS location and display instead of pushing the “small” buttons. shake_it.pdf

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.

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.

Function Flow

Shake movement estimation ⇒ Call up GPS function ⇒ Shake movement estimation ⇒ Turn off GPS function

Achieved Functions

1.Shake movement estimation

2.Call up Date function(Encounter with unknown problem to call up the GPS function, so we use call up the Date function to instead of)

3.Shake/Touch to turn off Date function

Screenshots

Estimation of shake movement return false.

Call up the Date function successfully.

The data of accelerometers collected.

Conclusion

What we have done so far is just prototype, can basically achieve all the functions we designed, but not perfectly. After experienced the Maemo environment, we just feel that it's not such convenience as java. And also because of we do not familiar with Maemo, this brings a lot of difficulties for the programming.
